"Set right along the Pacific Coast Highway inside an old brick building with Spanish roots, this new Spanish restaurant — Rebelión — is nearing its opening after a complete overhaul of the former Tavern 1 Grill and Tap House; I observed more light inside, worn floor tile, exposed beams, hanging bulbs, and abundant greenery. While homes across the highway block easy ocean views, the sun and surf are still very close at hand. Run by the Cascabel team led by Top Chef Season 5 contestant Alex Eusebio, the Spanish-infused menu includes simple starters like pan con tomate, traditional dishes such as paella, and Spanish wines to match; the team says the interior design and menu ideation are essentially finished and an opening could come as soon as the next week or the next couple of weeks." - Farley Elliott
