Went there yesterday and they had live music outdoors. All in all, a very pleasant experience. I think the music is every Sunday

I had a wonderful time there to celebrate my birthday. It was great to have a choice to dine outside or inside

We love to dine at Cascal and had decided to eat outside this time. Alas, there was live music, too loud for us, so we moved indoors. Dinner was delicious and we were happy to have our main server be Humberto again. He's great

The food was fantastic. Our friends spit a seafood paella which looked wonderful and they claimed was delicious. My wife and I had tapas. We shared the calamari, eggplant satin, and cuban pork wrap. All especially the eggplant were excellent. The dipping sauce for the bread was also really good. Olive oil with cilantro, basil, mint, green onions, garlic We set outside in the shade, the service was on top of things without being obtrusive. A very light buzz around us so we had way conversation among the four of us

Delicious tapas. We ordered the sampler plate and was pleasantly that it provided a wide variety of items that came in sufficient quantity for two. It being a beautiful sunny day we sat outside and enjoyed the shady trees and attention of the wait staff. A value well worth the money

Cascal Restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with a romantic touch, especially on Friday nights with a live band. While the food received mixed reviews, the fried calamari was a standout item. The outdoor dining area was pleasant, complete with heat lamps. The service was attentive, and menu items like the Seafood Paella and vegetable dishes were enjoyed by many. The ambiance of the indoor seating was highly rated, making it a great spot for dates or group gatherings. Overall, Cascal provides a fun dining experience with a variety of dishes to share and enjoy.

Wonderful gathering for our group of 12. Margaritas, Sangria, wine and cocktails were preemptive to delight the taste buds. Salads were excellent, appetizers were abundant than the paellas to die for and desserts finish off. Plus the live band was great too.y Thank you Cascal! -Guy

Our table was next to the entrance to the kitchen and restroom. We asked for a table elsewhere after watching the patrons finish their meal and leaving the restaurant. They told us that the table was going to be used for a larger party. We stayed and finished our dinner. The other table we asked for was never used at all.

We sat outside and it was very pleasant. They have heat lamps so it's great even if it get's a little chilly. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in after he brought each new item. We really enjoyed the roasted cauliflower, the banana leaf chicken, and the vegetable paella. We came back after the ballet and enjoyed a drink and listened to the band (awesome music).

I visit this restaurant once a year with my grandparents, and the food is always delicious!

The meal was excellent, just like always. However, the table setting could use some improvement, as they placed two dessert forks at each setting instead of one.

We booked a table for lunch with friends. We'd eaten at Cascal often over several years, and my husband's garlic allergy had always been well taken care of. Today we checked in, to find that there were only two dishes that could be prepared without garlic ‐ tuna tartare, and stuffed dates. Our waiter was helpful, but as my husband doesn't like raw fish, he chose stuffed dates. It really didn't work alone as a main course. To make matters worse, we got a rude email later taking us to task for being no‐shows. Don't worry Cascal, we won't be troubling you ever again, nor will our friends.

We went around 5:30 PM and were able to get seated for Happy Hour. They have some good food and drink options. The drinks were great; I ordered some fruity ones, so they weren’t particularly strong but were delicious. We tried both the short ribs and fish tacos; they were okay, not bad for Happy Hour, but I’ve had better. The liver crostini was good. The paella (not on the Happy Hour menu) was absolutely the best. I’ll go back for more Happy Hour.

Bread olive oil came as soon as it arrived while I was still reading the menu. Goat cheese looked like moldy meatloaf but it actually didn’t smell terrible. It tasted like mild cheese. It was also good to eat alone with the accompanying salad and seafood stew. The small rice is bigger than the face, so it is suitable for everyone to share. The fried potato meat balls are quite delicious, crispy on the outside and a little fluid on the inside. The sherry wine is not sweet and has a strong fragrance. It is smooth to drink. The octopus feet are great and pickled. Tuna is special and delicious.

Excellent Upscale Latin American Tapas Restaurant with an emphasis on extremely well prepared and delicious small plates with a Latin theme. Excellent margaritas, sangria, and wines. Absolutely recommended if you’re looking for high quality food with a slightly higher price point. The ambience is wonderful, with salsa music playing in the background and plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The restaurant is well kept, plenty of space, and the inside has wonderful decorations. The service here is excellent and fast. Especially if you come here on off hours. We barely waited at all to be served! The food came out minutes after we ordered it. One of best restaurants in Mountain View and possibly the entire South Bay Area.

Went here with my family for my birthday! The food was delicious and quickly eaten by the 5 of us. The spices and seasoning as wonderful in all the dishes we had. One thing I would say is that the larger sized paella was surprisingly still small and rather difficult to share with 5 adults. We still left happy and would come for more!

Overall a great experience and well worth. Amazing food and unique dishes, surprisingly quick service, and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend for anyone wanting to try out a unique take on tapas. Paella was top notch as well!

We had a wonderful experience with friends. Tried the Seafood Paella and ceviche sampler and it did not disappoint. Red sangria and Mojito to drink and chocolate souffle with coffee ice cream for dessert. Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere was great with live guitar and excellent service. Definitely worth it.

Tried all new items that I have never had here before and was not disappointed! The seasonal sangria was wonderfully fruity and fresh. The Potato Gratin was creamy and the cheese on top was deliciously gooey and crisp. The Muscles in Saffron Cream Sauce had the perfect bite of rich cream, with the fresh muscle and just the right amount of acid from the tomato and onions. Every bite was delicious! As always the service was friendly and professional, and the outdoor patio was the perfect setting for our evening out.

Remember that scene from the mask of Zorro, where Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Bandaras are tangoing acors the room and there is that music playing in the background and all in the rest of the movie it sounds that mood that seems dangerous but romantic all at once?... Well, you'll find no danger (can be romance? in Cascal, but every Friday night they have a live band that defined. This would be an ideal place to bring a date, but it is not so posh and beautiful that you cannot come to jeans with a group of friends, order a pitcher from Sangria and sit under one of the many heat lamps that do the outdoor dining areas. I have some hits and misses with this restaurant regarding food, but the ambience is always great – lively, noisy, this place is a good way to not feel in Mountain View though you are really... just don't order the spain tapas cellar. It is beautiful and if you see a waiter who crosses with a plate, you will be tempted, but while there is an eye candy-looking dish the individual components of the plate are either too mad or strange sweet. You are better not to order what sounds good for you on the tapas menu or try one of the other samplers. Tapas restaurants are usually a little more expensive. Do not try to choose this place if you haven't eaten all day, they really try to focus more on quality than quantity.

I was only once in Cascal and the one plate I really remember is her fried Calamari. I tend to order fried Calamari when I see it on a menu, and Cascals was excellent....perfect fried and a good size (especially for a tapas square). The rest of the food was good... although expensive, as most tapas are places. And I think I'm hungry.

I am vegetarian and was very pleasantly surprised to find that they fulfill us herbivores. The mushrooms were delicious and the Spanish frits were very good! The spicy salsa complements the frits and adds another layer of complexity and taste. I found her Sangria a little watered, but the food is totally ready for it! I think this place is much better than Zarzuella in SF, which has received a lot of awards for the food and its delicious Sangria!

This is a good place to go to if you are with a group that likes to try almost everything in the menu. The dishes were very flavorful and very nicely presented. The mushroom empanadas are definitely something to try. The dungeness crab and shrimp tostaditos were also very good; the veggies that came with it was fresh and crisp. We also tried the paella rustica—it was very rich. Good but I was a little overwhelmed by the variety of meats. The restaurant was very nicely decorated, not too dimly lit. Their sangria was okay—I noticed on the menu that they have a choice of red, white or sparkling but the server didnt ask us for preference.
