Cascal, located in Mountain View on Castro Street, is a lively, colorful restaurant specializing in Spanish and South American-style tapas and Latin cocktail favorites like mojitos, margaritas, and caipirinhas. For a quick bite, try the Spanish Fries, large roasted steak fries that are dusted with paprika and served with harissa aioli. For larger appetites, opt for the Spanish Tapa Sampler, loaded with favorites like Serrano ham, seafood stuffed piquillo peppers, Spanish chorizo, potato croquettes, fried olives, and more.

Pair your meal with the popular house-made sangria, made with either red, white or sparkling wine plus fresh citrus, apples, and other spices. If you’re looking for a pretty drink, though, try out the Pisco Sour, consisting of Pisco brandy and lime juice that is blended to a froth and served in a sugar-rimmed glass. Stop by during their weekday happy hour from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. for discounted small bites and specialty cocktails, wine, and premium draft pints.
