Vaca has always caught my eye whenever I've walked by, especially being right by the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. I went on a Saturday. The entrance to Vaca was a bit confusing to find but once inside, we were met with a vibrant and bustling
Paella took 1 hour to come out and it wasn't even crispy!!!
Paella took 1 hour to come out and it wasn't even crispy!!! Definitely would not recommend. The rice seasoning l and mariscos were good, I felt that the octopi's was very small and hardly noticeable. Canelon de pollo was delicious, but to
Great spot for after or before a show at Segerstrom.
Opens at 5pm but we totally came in at 4:50pm and people were already sat at the bar. Good service and tasty
Amazing restaurant.
I regret not having more pictures. Their variety of tapas and plates is incredible and I love every one of their dishes. Their drinks are amazing too
Good meal (although expensive) but I feel they should be
Good meal (although expensive) but I feel they should be publicly shamed for trying to tack on a random 3% fee to your bill because "doing business in Costa Mesa is expensive". If it's expensive then up your prices vs taking advantage

Meh. For the prices and ambiance I would expect a lot more out of this place. The service was great but the food was very lackluster. The pulpo is mostly potatoes and honestly the canned octopus from Trader Joe's is more flavorful (and you get m

Another fine jewel from chef Amar! The food is unparalleled to anything around. The steaks here are the best and my god the duck roll! Chef, you're killing me. I can't stop eating your delicious food! Ambiance is perfect with a lot of dry a

We came here for our sister's birthday and had such a delicious meal. We sat out in the patio and it was just the perfect setting. The staff were super attentive and friendly. We loved the food. We would definitely come back.
Great menu.
Loved the tapas and want to go back to try more of the menu. We had tapas, salad, shrimp, bikini sandwich and fried potatoes. Main entrée Rib Eye and filet, tasty Brussels sprouts and asparagus. Drinks were ok. We will be back for more.
We had a tapas dinner there before a show.
The patio outside was really nice, the service was good and the food absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

We came to Vaca for date night, and overall it was a great experience. Food Rundown: * Albacora Tataki - 10/10 Absolutely incredible. The flavor was fresh, balanced, and the ponzu + sesame combo was so good. Hands down the best dish of the night.
Negative 5 stars- Sorry to report.
Is our experience an isolated incident? Curious or not, I won't be coming back to test my theory. The waiter made it clear our food would take 45 mins to arrive because guest coming in had a show ti attend--Meaning they had priority. When we s
Came here for my birthday dinner with a few friends.
My experience was okay. I really wanted to like this place but it didn't hit the expectations from what I've seen and read. The staff were friendly but service is slow. We were sat outside and it took awhile to order. I'm well aware
Tapas spot good for pre- show dinners
Tapas spot close to the Sergestrom Theater. Came here for a pre-show dinner at 5pm and made a reservation online in advance. It’s a short walk away from the theater, so it’s a good spot when you’re trying to catch a show. Note that the paella d
Sat at the counter for lunch and ordered a bunch of tapas.
Quick, clean, easy and delicious. The tapas are unique and small so you can have a variety and not get too full.

I visited Vaca for a friend's birthday and had a decent experience. We were seated outside pretty quickly and had menus in our hands right away. It was a nice evening and the sun was blocked by the bush hedges they have around the outdoor seating are

Their tapas are good but we went here for steaks and its overpriced and over rated. The steak was cold and when I asked to reheat it they just turned it into well done and it was still cold.
How disappointing.
Vaca used to be one of our favorite restaurants in OC but after our recent visit, we won't be returning. The deconstructed pan con tomate was mediocre, the seafood dishes (seabass and scallops) were too salty and didn't have the right flavor especi
First n last time..
First time here. Don't waste money. Fancy looking exotic dishes. With no food on the plate.. Think your chicken. These chefs make these dishes .where's the beef or did they have mom show how to cook. Verses chef school..They have alot liquor I gue
Best Spanish restaurant I've ever tried.
All their tapas is a MUST try along with their paella.
Love this spot for shared plates! So many to choose from
Love this spot for shared plates! So many to choose from with some definite must haves. Right next to Segerstrom Center for the Arts - a perfect pre-show dinner spot. We didn't have paella tonight as we were a smaller group. The sin alcohol drinks ar
A visit to celebrate a birthday.
They will seat you as soon as the entire party arrives. No problem! We'll wait at the bar and start with an Apertivo! That was a fortuitous decision. While we were perusing the cocktails menu, the bartender was busy mixing up a carajillo. I'll take
Loved the food here! Ambience is nice.
Smaller than I expected. They have a parking structure and you can get validation from the restaurant. Service is good here. They are attentive. We ordered some cocktails which were ok. Food here is Spanish style small dishes and it's a-little
The services is extremely attentive.
The oxtail was so tender. I loved the artichoke and the Brussel sprouts. The chicken croquettes were not my favorite. The tomato bread was missing something that I was hoping would bring me back to Spain. It's definitely worth a visit to experience s
Starting off the service is to die for.
It was very professional and courteous that really allowed us to enjoy a nice weekend dinner out. They were very helpful in explaining the various options and allowed us to really have an awesome time. Our table got seated outside, it was pretty chil
Watch out for extra 3% charge on tab
First, i dont believe it’s Michelin Star rated. Very crowded and noisy large restaurant. Inside tables way too close to other guest tables. I coul hear every conversation with the other table. Sat down and presented with paper menus. No chips, brea
In my opinion, this was a five star evening.
The ambience was great. Sitting outside on the back patio was lovely. Our servers Cat and Marco were excellent. My water glass was never empty. We had helped from Cat making choices on items to eat and how to spread out the meal. One tapas plate wa
Pricey but delicious.
Food is real good and service is friendly and fast. Ambiance is great.
Fabulous!!!!!! Everything on the menu was sooooo good.
Favorite restaurant in OC! The staff was also super helpful and nice.

I only go here once in a while because the menu items are a bit expensive, but when I do go, boy do I like to splurge. I enjoy how some of the menu items change seasonally, but some still remain the same due to their popularity (and rightfully so). I
Nice tapas and good paella, great for pre-theater dinner!
Nice tapas and good paella, great for pre-theater dinner! Located by the arts complex the restaurant offers valet and plenty of self-parking in the structure across the street (with validation). Some tapas are definitely smaller than expected like th
Immaculate.
The atmosphere. The food. The service. Everything was amazing, I definitely want to go back!
Really enjoyed the food here.
We shared some apps and had a paella. Only downside is there isn't much on the menu that is on the lighter side. Lots of meats and heavy dishes. That being said, everything we had tasted great.
Tapas are delicious but the paella needs work.
Ambiance here is amazing and the service is excellent. I've come here a handful of times and have learned that in order to get the best experience, stick to the tapas. It's just a bit disappointing that a Spanish restaurant's paella needs work.
This was my favorite restaurant until tonight.
Sadly, it seems the quality of the food and service has gone downhill. We ordered the oyster mushroom appetizer - it was overcooked and tough. Too bad. I brought it up to the waiter and he said that it was supposed to be like that. Then I ordered th
Vaca is a breath of fresh air around Orange County.
They create beautiful, unique sharable dishes. Come and order a bunch and let everyone have a bite of each. Most of their plates are tapas style, so only a few bites, but they are wonderful. There are a few larger dish options but I feel like Vaca
The seafood paella here is out of this world good.
This place is hipster trendy but nice and cozy. Service can get a bit busy but what understandable since this place gets packed. Had my birthday meal here and I absolutely loved everything about it. Highly recommended!
$350.00, only to get food poising!
My son, daughter-in-law, and I dined at Vaca on October the 9th. We all shared an order Raba De Toro (oxtail), Canellone de Pollo Ahumado, the bikini sandwiches, a three cheese plate and then an order of the Seafood Pealla (de Mariscos). Everything
Nice dinner spot for couples
Had dinner here last night with my hubby. He said this is owned by a Top Chef and serves spanish cuisine which i have been craving for. We were promptly seated in the patio at the back even if we didn’t have reservations. Below are the food we o
Very Good but not Outstanding Tapas
My brother in law and I went to try this place, which is notorious for being booked, even mid week. We walked in at 6:30 and luckily found a table for two in the outside area in front of the restaurant. This was the perfect place since we were not bl
Hmmm...want to waste your money? Come on down!
Wow! I mean, wow. How disappointing can a restaurant be? Forget the location and expectations for an amazing dining experience. I've cooked better steaks from Stater Bros and Vons hundreds of times since 2012 when we moved to 3400 Avenue of the Arts
ServiceSolid with everyone.
Our server Catiosca was great and thorough - definitely trained well and overall helpful during a busy dinner hour.FoodThis was listed in the top 10 restaurants in OC. Lmao. I literally have profile picture of a dog getting hit in the face with a fri

A very solid spot for Spanish style tapas in Irvine! They have a plethora of tapas to choose from so it can be a little intimidating! I'd highly recommend the La bola and one of the perfectly cooked steaks! Their speciality is the flame grilled cuts

VACA total bill $480 (~$100 pp) As a self proclaimed steak connoisseur there was no doubt that I wouldn't get steak for my birthday. It's been an ongoing tradition for me to always get steak, this year we decided to go to VACA! I also went to Vaca l

Outstanding service and bartender knew exactly what how to make my Bobby Burns. We appreciate the food having lived in Spain
Amazing.
Everything was on point. Can't wait to go back. Will definitely refer friends
Loved the ambiance.
Service was outstanding. To be able to choose you steak was awesome and the way they presented it all was exceptional. Drinks are great too. Can't wait to go back!

Käufer können fundierte Entscheidungen treffen, indem sie automatisierte Verkäuferbewertungen nutzen, die vergangene Transaktionen und Zuverlässigkeit widerspiegeln.
Jeder Eintrag auf AppointmentTrader zeigt an, welcher Nutzer ihn eingestellt hat, und bietet zudem eine Übersicht über dessen Erfahrungsstand und den Prozentsatz der Transaktionen, bei denen der Nutzer eine Rückerstattung veranlasst hat.
Falls kein Nutzereintrag zu Ihrem Zeitplan passt, können Sie auf Ihre bevorzugte Uhrzeit bieten.
Nehmen wir an, Peter hat einen großartigen Morgen und beschließt, seine drei Freunde am selben Tag um 18 Uhr ins Vaca Costa Mesa einzuladen.
Er sieht auf der Website des Restaurants nach und stellt fest, dass keine Reservierungen verfügbar sind. Dann schaut er auf die Vaca Costa Mesa-Seite bei AppointmentTrader, findet aber auch dort keine Nutzereinträge.
Genau hier kommt der von der Community getriebene Bietprozess ins Spiel.
Peter kann ein Gebot auf AppointmentTrader abgeben, das als Belohnung für jedes Community-Mitglied dient, das daran arbeitet, die Reservierung zu sichern. AT benachrichtigt dann erfahrene Nutzer, die helfen könnten.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung
1.) Festlegen einer Belohnung (Gebot)
* AppointmentTrader nutzt historische Daten, um eine angemessene Belohnung für das Sichern einer Reservierung zu empfehlen – sagen wir $100.
* Peter möchte unbedingt hingehen, also erhöht er das Gebot (bzw. die Belohnung) auf $200.
* Zu diesem Zeitpunkt existiert die Reservierung noch nicht.
2.) Ein Community-Nutzer übernimmt das Gebot
* PerceptiveWash44, ein erfahrener AT-Nutzer mit einer starken Erfolgsbilanz beim Sichern von Reservierungen und wenigen Rückerstattungsanfragen, erhält eine Benachrichtigung über Peters Gebot in Höhe von $200.
* PerceptiveWash44 übernimmt das Gebot und arbeitet nun daran, die Reservierung zu sichern.
* Peter kann sich jetzt an PerceptiveWash44 wenden, wenn er Fragen hat, während PerceptiveWash44 das Gebot bearbeitet.
3.) Die Reservierung finden
* PerceptiveWash44 nutzt nun seine Kontakte im Vaca Costa Mesa, um den Tisch zu sichern.
* Wenn er erfolgreich den Tisch für vier um 18 Uhr sichert, erhält Peter eine Bestätigung, dass die Reservierung gemacht wurde.
* Gelingt es PerceptiveWash44 nicht, die Reservierung zu sichern, wird das Gebot wieder freigegeben, sodass ein anderer Nutzer es versuchen kann.
4.) Bezahlung & Schutz
* Sobald die Reservierung sicher ist, erhält PerceptiveWash44 die Belohnung von $200, die dem AT-Guthaben von PerceptiveWash44 gutgeschrieben wird; dort verwalten Nutzer ihr Geld selbst und können per Banküberweisung, PayPal oder Zelle auszahlen lassen.
* Jetzt kann Peter das Abendessen mit seinen Freunden im Vaca Costa Mesa genießen!
* Wie bei allen Transaktionen auf AT werden Streitfälle und Gebühren bei Nichterscheinen über das Community-basierte Lösungssystem der Plattform geregelt. Nutzer mit starker Erfolgsbilanz erhalten Anreize, Gebote erfolgreich zu erfüllen, und Community-Mitglieder können Probleme melden, um das Vertrauen im Marktplatz aufrechtzuerhalten.
