Spanish Restaurants near Burlingame, CA

“We were in town for Valentine's Day so I made a reservation here. I knew it would be busy, which it was, but the service was still great. We were taken care of quickly, our waters were always full (which is important to me), the wine was great and the food was even better. All the wait staff were friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend Pulpo if you are in the area!“

“Met a former colleague for a Friday lunch, and San MAteo was equidistance for us. Barrel Bistro was a pleasant surprise. Their wine offer is amazing, great wineries represented and at a range of price points. I've got celiac so gluten free food isa must. Our server was awesome, he let me know what was good, and what was really popular. I settled for either the Filet Mignon Flatbread with a Ginger Soy Glaze or the Margherita Flatbread. I ordered the Filet Mignon Flatbread and it did not disappoint! The filet was tender, and flavorful and the flatbread was flexible so you could simply fold up the slices to eat. Will definitely come back!“

“There are a few small plates available from each of several Mediterranean cuisines. The overall collection is somewhat eclectic, but the quality was consistently very good and mixing the different styles worked. The wine list is also good and fairly representative of the different cuisines.“

“The food was delicious, we had some of the best wine we’ve had in ages, the service was prompt and professional, and the atmosphere was lovely. This place is such a gem. We’ve tried a few paellas around the bay and this was easily the best (Zuzu in Napa was excellent as well). It reminded me of some of the best meals we’ve had in Europe, and I’m just waiting for some family to visit to have an excuse to go back.“

“This place looks very modest both outside and inside but wow does the food quality deliver. A Salvadorian friend of mine told me about this place. The Sopa de Pata had an amazing amount of flavor. It could definitely win an Umami award. The Pork Bean and Cheese Pupusa was my favorite. The Pupusas were some of the softest and best I've had. Easy parking in the shopping center parking lot. I will definitely come back here again.“

“I last visited Seville Tapas long before the pandemic and was happy to revisit this local Spanish gem of a restaurant last weekend after a long absence where the chef-owner trained at the California Culinary Academy. My friend swooned over the delicious gazpacho and Piquillo peppers filled with herbed goat cheese, while I enjoyed the traditional Tortilla Española/potato omelet. We also enjoyed a glass of Spanish white wine while sitting on the deck and enjoying the gorgeous views on a perfect day. BTW: we both live in SF and can't wait to return. Note: The reverse side of the menu also offers a selection of American items.“
