Arrived on a weekend night, Castro Street around the restaurant swarming with people heading to the nearby Performing Arts Center. Cascal was busy, but we were seated promptly outside at a corner...

One of my favorite Spanish/Latin American restaurants. It's slightly pricey, but if you're eating there as two and want to sample the variety of tapas, go with the Tapas Sampler for $19 which will...

Very flavorful dishes, and love the tapas option. I would definitely visit again, based on the upbeat, unique dining room, and the uncommon cuisine. Ensalada Mixta-selection of mixed greens with...

The food is pretty good but the service can use some help. They aren't very good at getting you to your table quickly (even with reservations) and sometimes the food comes quickly, sometimes not....

Tasty food, good drinks for a semi-decent price. I'd probably be perfectly happy with the money spent if they hadn't made us wait so long for our "reserved table." The mushroom empanadas were...

Entering Cascal, you will notice the high ceilings, colorful decor, and the bustling crowds. Unfortunately, the food doesn't impress as much. A multitude of choices greet you on the tapas menu. I tried wild...

Cascal has a fun decor that puts you in a festive mood. They specialize in Latin American tapas (small plates) which give you the opportunity to try lots of different items (though it's not cheap)....

Waited for over an hour only to find out that the hostess gave our table away. Her excuse was that we originally said 10 ppl, but when we changed to 8, the table of 10 was given away for the party that arrived...

The food was good and so were the drinks (mmm mojito martinis), but all the people dancing (badly) by the bar were a bit cumbersome. They were in the way between me and my alcohol! *shakes fist*...

We happened upon Cascal one Christmas Eve when everything else was closed. The hostess rolled her eyes with an exasperated sigh when we answered "no, we don't have reservations." She then ushered us way into...

The cusine here is definitely a blend of Peninsular and Latin American. The bread was fresh and came with a delicious blend of olive oil, garlic, cilantro and other spices. We tried the Tapas sampler, which is...

A local fav for me. The tapa's are very good and filling, but for Tam and I the Cosmo's and Capirhina's is what we gravitate towards. After a long, hard week in the office we'll head to downtown...

This is a relatively new (less than 2 years old) restaurant at the corner of Castro and California avenues (hence the name CasCal). It is a tapas restaurant where you order many tiny dishes. The food ...

We liked the atmosphere. The ahi tuna tapa was great - pink and firm; and the tapenade it was served with complimented the fish very well. The prawns in garlic oil was good, but bad value - you get about 6...

Very good service, but food is not worth the price you pay. I love tapas, and didn't expect Cascal to be "authentic" to be good. However, the cuisine is not inventive enough to return. Picasso in downtown SJ...

While we had our hopes for a decent tapas/nuevo latino restaurant NOT in the city, we were let down. Ramblas, Timos, even Cha Cha Cha greatly outshine the food served at Cascal. Of the four dishes we tried,...
