• We loved this place. We had an early dinner on a Saturday night before going to the 7 pm service at Cornerstone. The Tortilla de Patata was delicious, just like my aunt used to make. Excellent calamari. We also had spanish sausage & spicy potatoes. Friendly service. We just ordered too much, it was all delicious!

• This place is amazing! Everything here tasted exactly as if you were eating at a bar in Madrid. Definitely get the peppers and the morcilla!

• Sunday night of memorial day weekend - overcrowded. Busy staff. Poor tapas - don't bother with croquettes, chorizo mini sausages or fried calamari - all were below average.

• A bit loud but cheap sangria carafes ($10) and tapas! Not the best food, I'd go for the croquettes and patatas bravas. Skip the calamari and garlic shrimp

• Very nice place. Parillada is great. Serves 2 people, Service was quiet fast and very nice. But - if you booked the table for 2 - you could be seated near restrooms.

• Best tapas I've had on this side of the Atlantic. The patatas braves are to die for, the paellas huge and delicious. If it's nice out, ask to sit on the back patio — it's lovely and romantic.

• The lunch special is an outstanding deal at $7.07 (after tax) for a sandwich and a side. The Vegetariana sandwich is delicious and filling; The stewed zucchini is a touch watery though well-seasoned.

• Sangaria is legit. Bread with the Orange colored sauce tastes very good. Steamed mussels were a let down.

• Coming from Barcelona, Spain. This place is nice. It might be the closest you will be to good tapas back in Spain. Which is nice. The sangria is really good I will give them that.

  by Kevin Y.

  
  

• I've had a ton of patatas bravas and these are some of the best, easily. Including what I've tried in Barcelona. Every dish is fantastic here.

  by Sas M.

  
  

• A mariachi band came and played. The orange sauce is great! The combo plates are a great value. I got the garlic chicken which was good, but became overwhelming half way through. Good dish to share.

• Great for large groups. Get a pitcher of sangria. Also dig into the free bread with the yummy spicy red sauce. Also like garlic shrimp, lobster tail, and patatas bravas.

• A piece of Spain in SF! Sangria, pimientos del Padron, tortilla, garlic shrimp...just take your pick.

  by Diego R.

• Can't go wrong w/ grilled oysters & calamaries; of course with sangria(;

  by Hatice U.

  
  

• Anchovy-stuffed olives and patatas bravas are the best way to kick off a meal here. This is a fantastic second-date spot!

  by Sterling M.

  
  

• Decent tapas- almost never a wait to be seated.

  by Dory L.

  
  

• Restaurante español que cumple todos los tópicos al pie de la letra, pelis de Almodovar, sevillanas y el toro de Osborne en las paredes. La comida, sin ser lo mismo que en España, es aceptable.

• reverse happy hour 10pm to closing

  by Butter C.

  
  

• The bread and sauce they serve you as an appetizer are delicious! Loved everything we ordered: grilled jumbo shrimp, spinach, pork kebabs, oysters, and especially the sangria.

  by Mindy Y.

  
  

• $10 carafe of delicious Sangria available during happy hour: noon to 7 pm!

  by Jonathan

  
  

• Noisy and loud. If you want a romantic and quiet dinner look elsewhere. The paella gets a 7 out of 10. Needs MORE saffron flavor, color and seafood.

  by Marco P.

  
  

• The orange dipping sauce goes with not just the bread, but with everything! So good!

  by Angela M.

  
  

• Love their sangria. $10 for a carafe or $2.50 for a glass (during happy hour) . Lobster tail tapa is delish!,

  by Suzanne P.

  
  

• Come for lunch and enjoy the awesome "bocadillo de tortilla de patata" - fried calamari and manchego cheese are a must.

  by Carla P.

  by Timothy Hunten

  
  

• We recommend the paella and garlic shrimp. The sangria is tasty, and the pitchers get used up quickly, so order early and often.

  by AskMen
