GosiaMay 5, 2015Grilled Prawns were perfect! Try beet salad with harissa yogurt. Their desserts are to die for!!! Espresso flan with salty carmel was perfect. We didn't like their chorizo :(
EpicuriousJanuary 22, 2015Regardless of what time of day you sit down at this tapas bar, Gerald Hirigoyen's menu offers just the right treat. But if you want to avoid the dining masses, go at off-hours, between proper meals. Read more
Chris H.February 23, 2015Tried the sausage, the shrimp, and the pork trotters. Everything was delicious. Don't forget desert either! Their olive oil cake is soooo good!
Jetset ExtraAugust 27, 2013Bocadillos Tapas and Wine Bar can proudly compete with the tapas of Spain because it takes the art of small plates to a higher level of quality and creativity. Read more
Elizabeth StewartOctober 25, 2014Have the Corn Fritters in Tomatillo Salsa (food orgasm) with the Heirloom Tomato Salad. Then the Warm Olive Oil Cake with Huckleberries & Whipped Cream (our second food orgasm).
Blair HelsingMay 25, 2013Most recent visit - had the prawns, olives, patatas, cheese plate, arugula salad -- all were excellent. This place has served great food with attentive service since day one; tradition continues.
Guillermo MendozaOctober 10, 2014All the tapas are EXCELLENT! Don't miss the homemade chorizo, the prawns, the patatas bravas, the salads and everything you have space for. It was delicious!!!
Joel CorpusOctober 15, 2013I'm usually not a fan of tapas but this place is down right amazing! Really excellent food, great atmosphere and superb wine menu. The Pinot Noir is a winner.
Staff PicksMarch 3, 2016Flan is trending this week in SF and Bocadillos has some of the best caramel flan in the city. Try some after having a delicious plate of typical Spanish tapas.
Shruthi GowdaApril 7, 2017Grilled chicken sandwich and prawn la plancha is good. The portion is small. 🙄I have had better sandwich and tapas in other places in this area.
Craig BernsteinJune 20, 2016Formerly the location of the Black Cat Cafe, a historic location of the gay rights movement.
Analise TorrezJune 14, 2017The shrimp are amazing. Order a lot of everything and take recommendations from the staff. Everything was delicious
The Wall Street JournalMarch 21, 2012Try the lamb burger or the daily specials. Most lunch dishes range from $7 to $17. Tip: For you techies with laptops, the restaurant is quiet and the servers don't mind if you linger. Read more
Christina ChiesaFebruary 15, 2013Enjoyed tapas and wine with my date last night. I love the European relaxed feel of this place. Australian My date and I enjoyed a bottle of Barbera I brought - really nice staff.
Iris NgJuly 10, 2013Favorite items of the night were definitely the juicy lamb sliders and prawns that were loaded in shrimp taste! Must order if you're there!- EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010Tapas are perfect any time of the day at this venue. Try baked eggs with chorizo and Manchego for breakfast, grilled ham and cheese bocadillos at noon, and sautéed pimientos de pardon for latenight.
Mohit SAugust 19, 2014If you're here for lunch, two bocadillas (little sandwiches) should do nicely per person. Split some patatas bravas with the table.
@JaumePrimeroOctober 28, 2011At first, I was drawn to this place because of the name. Then I ate the food, then I had a new reason to fall in love with this restaurant. yum!
Shikha KaiwarMay 22, 2014Nice tapas place for an after work meal. Patatas bravas, Spanish omelet, and ice cream sundae are great.
LilianDecember 23, 2012Magical ambiance and flavorful Spanish tapas. Good for drinks and small bites. Order the chilled prawn and broccoli rabe.
Brief EpisodeSeptember 1, 2013Cute place. Not a fan of the tuna nicoise. Thought it would be like a seared ahi tuna but was flaky tuna and it smelled up the conference room I was in as badly as tuna fish salad. But will return.
Lauren MiyamotoAugust 20, 2013An intimate and pleasant happy hour spot. I loved the Arctic char ceviche!
PoojaMarch 24, 2016Jamon Serrano - very good, decent quantity too. Grilled prawns - good. Patatas Bravas - average.
Graham HughesOctober 12, 2014Consistently excellent. Every dish was a winner! Best tapas I've ever had.
Paul CunninghamJuly 16, 2015Ceviche and grilled squid were great. Corn fritters and empanadas were good.
Jennifer FlemingMay 30, 2010One of the few places to go out for wine where I actually enjoy the wine. If you're feeling indulgent, try their flan as well (if they have it).
Carlee GomesDecember 4, 2011Some of the best (and cheapest!) tapas in the city. The padron peppers are BOMB.
Trishul GoswamiMay 1, 2011The roasted beets are phenomenal. Chorizo is good and the portions are HUGE for a tapas restaurant.
Emily LeungJuly 7, 2011$10 for two tasty lil bocadillos & a side salad for lunch. Great, yummy deal!
Stephen BassmanJanuary 31, 2012Try the Caramel Flan - The last bite of flan. If you're offered it, lucky you. #lastbites #caramel #seasalt
Nikos BuseNovember 5, 2009Eat the chicken wings and calamari. They are delicious tapas. Then try the pistacio ice-cream and cookies. THEY ARE DELECTABLE.
Kristen MooneyFebruary 4, 2010Great iced lattes, even better turkey cranberry bocadillos and don't get me started on the arm of gypsy.
