    Small selection of Paella, but the two we tried were delicious (serve 1-2 people each). All of the many tapas were fantastic as well (1-2 per person, they’re a bit small). Great for a group dinner!

    Patatas bravas are great, as is the tortilla espagnola. Good and affordable wine list, our waiter was super friendly (and actually from Spain!), everything we ordered was tasty. I'll be back!

    Loved the paella hortelana and the beef filet with chimichurri! Bravas are the bomb too, but the best of all is the atmosphere and te staff. Marta always makes me feel like I'm at home!!

    Cast-iron pans of paella truly captivate, especially when enjoyed outside. Grilled sardines are a great way to start. Read more

    Tapas! The crab peppers and the garlic shrimp were my two favorites. It's located off a small street downtown with lights draped between the buildings - adding a super cute Spanish vibe.

    Loved the Fire roasted piquillo peppers stuffed with local Dungeness crab meat! Paella B44 was delicious with chorizo, shrimp, squid, clams and chicken!

    They can make the Paella Hortalana vegan if they leave of the aioli topping. Menu is not labeled for dietary restrictions but there is a salad and another side that are adaptable.

    Regret. Its location makes it touristy and the food is not worth the high price. If for some reason you do come here, I guess get the chipirones (stuffed squid cooked in its own ink) and paella b44.

    The Suquet de rap IS TO DIE FOR! And the tapas mussels were the best I've had I actually ordered a second order!

    Get 3-4 tapas and the B44 Paella! Sangria is not that strong but they give you plenty! #secretinsanfran

    Ask to speak with Geronimo, the owner. (Only there during the week) Tell him 'Davy' says hi. You'll probably end up with a free glass of champagne.

    Just have lots of tapas rather than a main dish. The mains are good but the tapas are excellent.
