Cascal overall has amazing food. We tried the shortrib, scallop ceviche , and of course the cascal paella and everything was delicious and fresh. Definitely try the jalapeño margarita as well ! A+!

Evan Johnson

Great date place . Food is a bit expensive , but it is Mountain View so it is to be expected. Overall worth it if you are looking for a romantic evening and willing to spend some money.

Mike Winston

Solid tapas joint. Lots of great dishes, but don't miss the Scallop Ceviche , Roasted Chile Relleno , Lamb Chops , Beef Short Rib Adobo , & Braised Pork Belly . Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

In order to get the happy hour prices you have to stay in the too small happy hour holding pen inside, which is HOT if it's above 70 outside. Open up the patio for HH Cascal!

Shannon Madison

Order your paella first, then nosh on tapas while you're waiting

Tripti Burman

Absolutely loved the food. For vegetarians , potato gratin and corn poblano saute are the best. Loved the banana leaf chicken too. Though the sparkling wine sangria was average.

Soumyadeep Ghoshal

Definitely get the shrimp sizzlers , wild mushroom empanadas , banana leaf chicken , lamp chops . Brussel sprouts was a bit disappointing.

Kate Boyko

Great service and delicious tapas ! We took tasting plate and it was brought for two of us. Would love to come back and try their paella too :)

Jay Mar

Exceptional place for sangria and cocktails ! Food...not that good; tapas style , lacks flavor - bland; amazing staff : very quick and pleasantly helpful!

Nana

My all time favorite! Chorizo and garbanzo beans , mushroom empanadas , banana leaf chicken and mutton meatballs . Of course the sangria and paella . ???? ???? ????

Lheyla Escobar

Try the Spanish tortilla and Hearts of Palm salad . Fresh and deliciuos ! And don't forget to leave a good tip, they deserve it ! ❤

Mariianne Crary

Fantastic menu. Tres leches dessert absolutely my favorite dessert . Open all day. Love this place. Nice music . Friendly staff .

Derrick Yu

At this time, this is the best place for happy hour in Mountain View. All the happy hour food selections are great, and they make good margaritas here.

Shan Huangfu

At first glance, the sangria looks Manhattan-level expensive , but it's worth getting. Wicked good, and they don't overload the pitcher with ice, so you get your money's worth. Pork belly delicious too

Edu Godinho

Latin place in the area! Very good atmosphere (loudly ) with Latin music . Food is typical and wine list is good

Guilherme Chapiewski

Deserts look incredible, but they are just average. You can see the Spanish Flan on the left picture and Caramelized Pecan Cheesecake on the right. They look way much better than they taste.

Best Tapas in the last 175 years! Go for the Tapas sampler , definitely no regrets!

Kirk Fortin

Great dancing even though the floor is kind of small. Awesome bartenders and bar back too. Try the Mojito's . Byron behind the bar is CAF

Johnny Angleson

The sangria is good, and the paella was excellent. There was a wonderful band playing live music on Friday night.

Lori Berenberg

Amazing tapas . Great cheese plate , white fish , shrimp , and ahi tuna . Beautiful decor.

Irina Max

Good restaurant , nice food... but if you go Friday or Saturday it's really noisy , very loud Mexican music ... I could not stay!Weekdays it always better!

SFGate

Extensive Latin-themed menu with very good paella , fried calamari and mushroom empanadas . Read more

Meghana Dhar

Paella and sangria are specialties. Ceviche disappoints. Try the mushroom empanadas and ask for the habanero salsa !

Laura D

Great place for happy hour (M-F 3:30 - 6:30). Fried calamari , mushroom empanadas , sizzling shrimp & ahi tuna are all fantastic. Try the sparkling sangria ! Great live music & dancing on Fri/Sat nights. Read more

Fernando Serrano

OMG what a wonderful restaurant ! I loved the "paella cascal " and their wine selection is decent.

Cheryl Chang

Awesome outdoor area for a pitcher of sangria and paella . Can't beat summertime in mountain view! Avoid the ceviche ...

Marty Madrid

The pork belly is good, although more pork than belly.

Jennifer Evans

The place is packed so you might think the food is delicious. Great after work place for cocktails but tapas is just okay. Lamb was tough, flatbread was flavorless but liked the empanadas .

Yvonne Barter

Loved their grilled octopus !! Practically melts in your mouth.

Sara Taylor

My go to in downtown mountain view. Can't go wrong with any paella .

Katherine Lu

All the paellas are delish! Be sure to try the tapas sampler if you can. The mushroom empanadas are TDF. Pork belly is good but portion way too small.

William Gunn

Nice pan-Latin place with a great patio & tasty sangria . More about ambiance than food.

Altaf Rahman

Paella Rustica, tapas sampler , red sangria and chicken liver tapa please

Priscila de Alcântara

Good paella . The white sangria is delicious

Jason Baxter

Paella and octopus salad were both great. A large paella is enough to split.

JBenitez

Ceviche and the paella cascal is great. plus Speakeasy porters on draught .

JBenitez

Had the Mexican Gorditas tapas this weekend. So good. Had to leave another tip here just for these. Do yourself a favor....

Jyotshna Kansakar

Lamb chops is the winner! I got them cooked medium and it was surprisingly very very good.

Stephen Chisa

The mushroom empanadas are amazing!

Sreejita Deb

Great happy hour spot - gets crowded over the weekend, come early to get a good spot. Live band after 8.

Ketil Moland Olsen

Great tapas , great meat!

Ronald Wong

The mussels are delicious! The tomato broth that they come in go really well with the bread too.

Sahil Desai

The Beef Adobo is amazing. Actually made me go out of my way to leave a tip on here. Enjoy!

Matthieu

I would not call the place a true tapas place especially in terms of atmosphere. More a mall ambiance than Ramblas, if ambiance at all. Food and service decent, although not good enough to go back.

Karolina ????

The food was OK, but the thing that I will be coming back for is raspberry virgin mojito ! Perfect for the summer.

Alaina Collins

Delicious ceviche ! The pallea is off the charts! And the mushroom empanadas are to dieee

Frances

Sizzling shrimp , scallops and seafood paella . Rioja wine

natalie kay

The poblano corn was great

Vinay S

Paella is authentic .. Try shishito peppers

Carla Dimond

I love the hearts of palm salad , still trying to figure out the coconut dressing
