Finca is a vibrant North Park spot serving inventive California-inspired tapas and an impressive array of wines, plus their own house vermouth, complete with a chill atmosphere.
"Industry vets Dan Valerino and Joe Bower have realized their thoroughly Californian version of a lively Spanish tapas bar with this friendly North Park restaurant that serves an eclectic mix of small plates that includes a SoCal twist on classic patatas bravas that swaths the potatoes in a chile pepper crema and other standouts like crispy chicken skins and spicy peanuts, a duck confit croquette with cherry mustard dipping sauce, and NY strip steak tataki in fermented scallop ponzu. Finca also houses a bottle shop, stocked with accessibly-priced and thoughtfully-chosen wines from Spain and California." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo, Eater Staff
"A favorite in the wine community, North Park’s friendly tapas bar has recently revamped its cocktail menu. Led by bar manager Matt Gisler (Fort Oak), the creative collection of low-ABV drinks focuses on vermouth and sherry, with sippers that include the Only Live Once, made with a Cool Hand Co. blackberry-cacao shrub with Oloroso sherry and fresh lemon juice." - Kelly Bone, Candice Woo

"Grab a seat at the bar or on the patio and indulge in the North Park restaurant’s everyday happy hour, which runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, when everything is priced at $10, from sangria and select wines by the glass to a rotating selection of its creative tapas." - Candice Woo
"A fresh point of view on a traditional tapas bar touches down in North Park on Thursday, February 8 with the arrival of Finca. Named after the Spanish word for a rural property or ranch, the 90-seat restaurant lands across from Tribute Pizza, anchoring a new building that sits on what was once a citrus farm." - Candice Woo
