Finca is restaurateur Scott Evans' intimate Spanish tapas spot, set in a cozy European-style cottage in the 15th & 15th neighborhood between The King's English Bookshop and Mazza. The menu spans cold and hot tapas plus larger raciones, with standouts like seafood paella, mushroom toast, shrimp ceviche, and churros, backed by a deep Spanish and natural-wine list. Warm, fireplace-lit ambiance inside and a large front patio earned it Salt Lake Magazine's Best Restaurant of 2026.
