Cascal

Never had a bad meal there, and the service is very good. Th Cuban wraps are awesome!

Great Paella and scallops. Drinks were good also. Highly recommend Cascal for dinner.

One of the best meals Ive had in a long time!!! Go for the mushroom empanadas

Not the normal experience. One of our dinners orders was incorrect. Appreciate the meal was comp. Seated near kitchen entry not the best. Very slow in refilling waters

Love their chicken livers! Perfection! Fabulous Paella!

Been going to Cascal for years...they remain consistently consistent.

We have been to Cascal many times and we always enjoy our meals. Each time we try a different tapa and are always very pleased. Great place for a variety of flavors to share with date or friends.

Like always the paella is delicious and the service great. Thank you!!!

Great for a date night or small group.

Cascal is one of my most favorite places. I go with family or professional associates to have some good quality food.

Great food. Always comes hot. We had Paella that was spectacular

It's really pleasant to eat outside at Cascal. There are plenty of heat lamps and the street scene on Castro and California in Mountain View is very enjoyable. It's also a good option if the live music might be too loud for conversation inside. We could still hear the music, AND we could hear each other. There are lots of great tapas to try - we had the Peruvian ceviche, and an Adobo short rib. Delicious. Our waiter also was very helpful with choosing the right wine, bringing us a couple to taste before we made our final decision. Overall, Cascal is a go-to option in central Mountain View, as it has been for a number of years.

I will recommend this place but I will tell them not to expect too much from the service

Four of us were celebrating a birthday for one of the gals. The evening was super fun and our waiter was friendly and efficient. Never had a disappointing meal at Cascal and look forward to returning.

Food and service was great, drinks were expensive and not that good. The margarita tasted like bottled margarita mix. The Caipirinha was better, but not the best I've had.

A bit noisy for chatting but non the less we had a great time. Service was superb, food was fantastic, and the Sangria was to die for.

Victor gave us very attentive service and was able to give us his honest opinion when we asked him questions. He seemed to read our minds, he was that good!

Un bel endroit et une belle carte. Néanmoins les plats sont épicés à la mode mexicaine et non pas à l’espagnole comme le fait penser la carte (beaucoup trop de piments forts partout !...) et on a du mal à trouver les goûts tellement il y a d’épices en quantité dans les sauces, dommage.
De plus, même si les produits sont de bonne qualité, les prix pratiqués sont tout de même prohibitifs, et pas de chance pour nous ce soir-là. le service fut également médiocre avec un serveur peu amène...
Préférez la terrasse extérieure sous les parasols chauffants (très sympa !), le bruit de la salle à l’intérieur est assourdissant à l’heure de pointe.

the lighting is a bit dim, but nothing dims the great food!

Very nice place!

Good lunch a good place to get together with friends.

We went for the paella (Rustica) and it was very good as well as the wild mushrooms empanadas. Next time, we will try the tapas. The service was very friendly and fast.

Food was good and unique. It's not cheap, but a fair price for the area, the quality, and the ambience. Our only complaint was the service: we were seated for nearly 15 minutes before a server arrived to take drink & appetizer orders. It didn't seem to be a particularly busy time, nor a shift change, nor did the servers appear to be running constantly from one table to another. Not long after the server finally greeted us, another server came by and asked if we'd been helped. Not sure if the problem is staffing level or organization of how the servers are allocated to tables or something else.

Love it, just so loud.

We came in as a party of four and the server was very accommodating and sat us at a table that was quiet and farther inside the restaurant. We ordered a few dishes and a jar of Sangaria which were all good and delicious. We really had a nice dining experience and I would definitely come back again.

We love Cascal and go there often before TheatreWorks matinees.
The fish we adore has been off the menu for some time and we were pleased to learn it was coming back...but not until Wednesday, we were told.
Then the manager said he thought the kitchen could prepare two orders right now...which they did.
That and the eggplant made for a most tasty lunch!
Above and beyond as always at Cascal!

Live music, very loud but very nice!

Had a great time celebrating my anniversary at your location. My wife was very happy with the live music and the service. Definitely going back again.

Interesting menu, lots of authentic Spanish dishes and my gluten-free wife was delighted at the selection. House made Sangria highly recommended, will come back!

Birthday dinner my best friend treated me out to! We both love this place and I chose it cause we were craving the paella and empanadas! 🤤 didn’t take a pic of them cause we ate them real quick!

For starters, the Combo Plate appetizer was good but, my wife found a hair in the stuffed pepper. The waiter replaced the plate but, our appetite was gone. They should have removed it from our bill... but they didn't. The house Paella was overcooked and dry. The taste was decent but we have had better elsewhere. The sangria was good, $35 for a carafe. Service was so-so, had to flag down the waiter a few times for water, etc. Not sure we will come back

Friend’s 90th birthday.
The food, as always, was stellar, as was the service.

I was a regular at Cascal's when I had business in Mountain View. I think it's been about a year since I was there. Had a reservation at 1PM which was unnecessary . Hardly anyone was there. The waiter was really not very good. Got ice tea with lunch and he came back about 20 minutes later asking if we wanted more ice tea, as our glasses were empty. The Cuban Wrap was not as good as I remembered. I think the reason the place was so empty IS the food and service has gone DOWNHILL. Sad. I used to really like this place. Will I go again? I doubt it.

Greeted promptly, had option to sit outside which was perfect. Waiter advised us it was happy hour and we all enjoyed a round of drinks.

We shared the corn poblano sauté and two orders of wild mushroom empanadas, just right for 4 people.

Everyone ordered something different for dinner, crab tostaditos, braised pork belly, arepas,& Cuban wrap. Food was delicious!

Service was excellent all food delivered at same time waiter was attentive, we all shared warm chocolate soufflé cake just right!

I have eating at cascal for the past 7 yrs, but my recent experience there was less than mediocre. The food was cold, tasteless, and the service was extremely poor. I am not going back for a long time.

It is a Tapas style restaurant but the prices are high for what you get.

Great food and service overall. We originally made reservation for 5 but turned out to have 6 and they were able to accommodate us. However, we were there to celebrate a birthday and it was specifically stated on our reservation but nothing was done about it. If they don’t celebrate customer’s birthday then why ask?

We’ve been to Cascal countless of times over the last 2 years it’s one of our favorite places to go on Friday night date. And this was the place where we had our first date so it’s special to us even now that we are married.
The food is great, our favorite is the pork belly, paella and short ribs. Plantain and sweet potato Mash is great for dessert.even if it’s a side dish. What I love most is there are many dishes in the menu that is Gluten Free and that is important for someone who is on a Paleo diet like us. We haven’t tried anything that we didn’t like and there are still more we would explore in the future.
Service is fast, friendly and helpful. I hope they keep that good quality of customer service. Ambience is good although sometimes tables seems to be close to each other but most times we are given great spots. Looking forward to another visit and we have yet to experience listening to the band since they usually come later in the night while we usually visit earlier. But go ahead and try them. Worth it!

This restaurant is so loud the waiter can’t hear you when you place your order! It’s by far the noisiest restaurant I’ve ever been in. Food was good however and our waiter good natured.

We’ve been coming here since they opened and it WAS one of our favorite spots. I made reservations ahead so we could celebrate a special occasion and talk. This time there was a huge party of 100 in the main space and the noise was almost deafening which made our special dinner a bit stressful. It was hard to think let alone talk. The food was not up to the usual standard and the waiters were too busy to serve us adequately (although they tried). I was disappointed. It seems if there is a party booked of 100 people, maybe it should be considered a private party where they close, for it really was a loud bunch which made it somewhat unpleasant for us. Not sure we’ll be back.
