The 10 Best Spanish Restaurants and Bars in San Francisco

"One of Eater’s best wine bars in SF, El Chato offers big vibes and a great hang in the Mission. Started by Bellota alums Rafa Saenz (a Madrileño) and Erin Rickenbacker (a wine wiz), El Chato is a place to explore vermouth, sherry, and especially natural wines from small producers that Rickenbacker meets through her frequent travels to Spain. Saenz is behind a sturdy tapas slate like famed anchovies from the town of Santoña, a proper Spanish tortilla, and of course, tinned fish galore. Pop in for multiple chatos (half pours) while local DJs spin, share a porrón (wine pitcher), or get three bottles of wine and a tin of fish for $68 at El Chato’s monthly wine club." - Adrian Spinelli
