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.
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.
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 .
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 .
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!
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 .
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.
Chicken croquettes ,the sangria and all the tapas are to die for. Going to have to come back for the paella .
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 .
love the patatas bravas , garlic shrimp and sangria ! great for large groups.
Anchovy-stuffed olives and patatas bravas are the best way to kick off a meal here. This is a fantastic second-date spot!
Amazing sangria ... Order by the pitchers . Paella was delish. From the tapas menu , try the garlic chicken and potato pancakes . Yum.
Paella , mariachis, sangria and even vegetarian options for my guests. Picaro Cafe has a little of everything!
Order your seafood paella as soon as you get there!! You'll LOVE IT!!
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
Try the Potatoes Bravas - #kvpinmybelly : Yummy garlic-y Romesco sauce. Kinda addicted to it. Paired with Clara. Flavored of Barcelona!
Come for lunch and enjoy the awesome "bocadillo de tortilla de patata " - fried calamari and manchego cheese are a must.
My "go to" place for tapas in SF !!
All the tapas and sangria are great. I especially liked the chorizo . Friendly service too!
The Jamon Serrano en Pan con Tomate is delicious; the squid ink paella is the only one worth splurging for!
My mouth is on garlic fire, and I love it. Best Spanish in San Francisco (a place with pretty bad Spanish food ).This place is pretty authentic .
$10 carafes of sangria during happy hour and yummy tapas . My favorites are the potatoes with garlic aioli and the stewed zucchini .
A piece of Spain in SF! Sangria , pimientos del Padron, tortilla , garlic shrimp...just take your pick.
Tapas are really genuine, good place to taste different spanish flavors!
Go on Monday for "paella night" which comes with sangria and dulce flan on-the-house!
Love their sangria . $10 for a carafe or $2.50 for a glass (during happy hour ) . Lobster tail tapa is delish!,
Sangaria is legit. Bread with the Orange colored sauce tastes very good. Steamed mussels were a let down.
Try the beef oxtail stew !
Very fun atmosphere and delicious tapas with bold flavors
The orange dipping sauce goes with not just the bread , but with everything! So good!
Patatas bravas is really good!
Sangria is a MUST!!
Can't go wrong w/ grilled oysters & calamaries ; of course with sangria (;
Best tapas in SF . Favorite are garlic shrimp , artichokes , and the potato omelette .
Happy hour with $10 sangria carafes until 7, amazing tapas
Sangria and most tapas are ???????? Veggie paella ????????
Took 15 minutes to great, service was very slow afterwards as well . Other than that, the food was delicious, wine was great.
Try anything and dip it in the orange sauce . It's better than the orange sauce from La Vic's in San Jose. www.grubcrawl.com
Get the garlic shrimp and a pitcher of sangria !
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.
The best sangria in the city . And a wide choice of tasty tapas .
Decent tapas for a good price! #carafe
The sangria , fried anchovies and oysters
Only place I know of to get a dope parillada
$10 carafe of delicious Sangria available during happy hour : noon to 7 pm!
Yummiest Spanish food in SF!
All the tapas just delicious!
Shrimp gamba
The best value lunch in the mission! Try the sangria .
Get the gambas al ajillo and the patatas bravas dip the bread in the sauces it's really good! - Sas Monti
I’m very picky with my tapas, and these were by far the best I’ve had in SF. The spot is so cool and service is great. Pan tumaca, Jamón, Bravas, all as good as back home! - Sandra Cifo
Caking shrimp & wings are a must; also dip your bread in the cabin shrimp sauce - Janelle
Earl grey ice cream is awesome! Almond toffee topping is also incredible! - Ben Mai
the tacos are so. good. the banana walnut ice cream, peanut butter twist and chocoholic are my favorites. - cami j.
Very relaxed and well decorated lounge bar, interesting crowd and nice staff. - ᴡ Young
