    "The wood oven-baked chickpeas in the cazuela are fabulous because they are layered with so much flavor, just the right amount of smokiness from the oven and the Spanish paprika." Chef Loretta Keller Read more

    Ask for a seat on the quaint back patio of Noe Valley’s beloved tapas restaurant, where you’ll be surrounded by grapevines and stacks of firewood for the wood-burning oven inside. Read more

    If in a group of 4+, try the tasting menu. Best bang for your buck. Try the squid, cod, salad w/goat cheese, croquettes and the churros for dessert which come with a glass of melted chocolate - yum!

    A bit on the pricey side but well worth the money. Arguably the best tapas restaurant in SF. The service is wonderful as well.

    First time here inform the waitstaff if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. After that allow them to make some recommendations. If sampler course dinner is offered try it Order the Churros

    The tapas-styled cuisine is best experienced as a group so you can share amongst each other. And you can't go wrong with the vanilla bean gelat with olive oil and sea salt for dessert!

    The patates braves are so good that they're mean, and the wine list is not to be trifled with. Sit back and indulge in a 3 hour meal, if you can, and you will leave happier than when you came.

    Very overpriced. Although their tripe is good but $17 for jamón iberico is a bit too much. Try Alegria on Lombard. It's better.
