15 Exciting Spanish Restaurants in San Francisco and the East Bay - Eater SF

"Veteran restaurateur Adriano Paganini knows how to run a fun, finely-tuned restaurant, and Barvale brings his know-how to the tapas bar model. Chef Patricio Duffoo serves reasonably-priced cold and hot tapas plus paella by the individual serving with plenty of the crispy bits — no need to order 45 minutes ahead. The sizable space on a fashionable block of Divisadero seats 65 — walk-in only — and includes room for 32 more at the bar, where cocktails bear an emphasis on Spanish sherries and vermouth. Another full pintxos room that’s yet to open will have room for another 50." - Caleb Pershan
