La Marcha Tapas Bar

"This Spanish delight from the team behind acclaimed caterer Ñora Cocina Española does double duty as a mecca for both tapas and paella, offered in varieties from the traditional mixta (prawns, chicken, chorizo, garlic, peppers) to the inventive “tres cerditos” (three little pigs) featuring pork chorizo, shoulder and belly. The classic tapas are also out in full force—from grilled head-on garlic shrimp and salt cod croquettes with nutty romesco, to tortilla Española.Located on busy San Pablo Avenue, the lively space offers enticements for groups of all sizes: foursomes can make the most of the sizable paellas, while a duo of happy hours offer discounts on wine at the L-shaped bar and a selection of free tapas, perfect for solo diners or couples." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Dishes Eater San Francisco’s Editors Ate in April 2025 | Eater SF

"Known for a deep paella program, this Berkeley restaurant has added brunch and delivers a notable, less rote take on the morning meal. On a recent visit the rabo con huevos stood out: "Everything on the plate was really well executed; the sherry-braised oxtail was perfectly tender, the yolks on the eggs lovely and runny, and the patatas were evenly crisped with dipping sauce on the side." The reviewer kept returning to bites of the oxtail as "meat [was] falling off the bone with each swoop of a fork," calling it a noteworthy version of the protein. —Dianne de Guzman" - Paolo Bicchieri

The Best Brunch Restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"La Marcha’s brunch offers a different side of the paella-forward restaurant, exploring sweeter breakfast-y items such as the fruit-laden panqueques, or pancakes, and brunch-acceptable cocktails such as the carajillo. If you’re craving something savory or heartier, the rabos con huevos stars tender oxtail alongside patatas bravas and eggs. Paella is still an option at brunch; the restaurant offers its usual menu of hits, but it also has a brunch-focused version with bacon, chorizo, shrimp, and two poached eggs on top. The paella is enough for two hungry people or for a small group with other dishes, but bringing home paella leftovers isn’t the worst idea, either." - Dianne de Guzman

Best Restaurants in Berkeley | Eater SF

"All of Spain’s classic tapas can be found at this lively restaurant on San Pablo Avenue, from patatas bravas to cheese-stuffed croquetas. The paellas are the showstoppers, however, particularly the arroz negro which includes squid ink, clams, and fennel sausage, and is topped with oyster aioli and smoked trout roe. Newly opened sister spot, Mile Limit, is a wine bar and bottle shop located just a few doors down if you’re looking to bring a bottle home or continue the vibes." - Dianne de Guzman
