"The oldest Spanish restaurant in the city, Picaro has been a consistent catch-all for tapas in the Mission for over 40 years. Vegetarian options like sliced, grilled artichokes, a tortilla with spinach, and cabbage sauteed with garlic and paprika, are just as much of a staple here as the fried calamari, Picaro’s impressive lobster tail paella, and the beef, chicken, and chorizo stew known as “ropa vieja.” Great for groups and known for their sangria, the Dali- and Picasso-themed Picaro is one of the few places where you can get a bottle of wine for less than $30." - Adrian Spinelli
