What Kathy E likes about Esperpento:
Food was delicious, the sangria was yummy and on HH!! Service was quick, loved that we were not rushed, felt very nice to be able to hang out and eat a slower pace since we were having dinner with family. Really appreciated that. The vibes are cute, nice and cozy space. View all feedback. What Kiran Melnyk doesn't like about Esperpento:
Food and atmosphere were good. Staff was friendly. We were given the wrong paella and when we brought it up we were told we had ordered the other item. (We didn’t).Otherwise pleasant experience and reasonable prices. View all feedback.

The tapas was good, but nothing exceptional. The calamari were a bit overcooked.

Esperpento, a beloved hole-in-the-wall spot in San Francisco, offers delicious Spanish cuisine in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The food, especially the paella, is top-notch and the sangria is a must try. The menu is varied, with options for everyone including those with dietary restrictions. Service is friendly and efficient, allowing for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. While some customers have had issues with pricing discrepancies, the overall consensus is that Esperpento is a gem worth visiting with friends and family to enjoy a wide range of delectable dishes.
