If they have the fried chilis, do it. Had a Tempranillo which was amazing - ask to taste the wine. The bartender was wonderful. Get there by 7pm and you can snag seats at the bar.

Absolutely order the stuffed peppers and wild boar. And don't leave without trying the bread pudding - fucking amazing.

Very solid food. Best Spanish cuisine I've had in awhile. The stuffed peppers were the jam. The churros lived up to the hype.

Pretty good tapas spot. Recommend shishito peppers, shrimp, sangria, and croquetas. Had a bit of an upscale feel.

Cookie plate was delicious, with plenty to share. All 3 types are great, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the brownies with bacon.

Don't miss the olive oil flight that features amazing EVOO from Spain. It's a great start to an excellent meal.

Go off menu and ask for the seafood paella. Also, tap those beef cheeks #thankmelater

Try the Steamed Mussles - #kvpinmybelly : Savory broth doing wonderful things to mussles and leeks. Ask for extra bread! #SF
