Cascal

The tapas at Cascal are top-notch any day of the week, but we love going on the weekends when the live latin music turns dinner at this colorful, eclectically decorated Spanish spot into a full-on party. Start with drinks (the “guavarita” with fresh guava puree, tequila, lime, and agave is refreshing and fruity), then go for the mojo-marinated Cuban pork. If you're dining with a group, don’t skip the paella Cascal, topped with a mountain of chicken, pork, sausage, and shellfish.

The casual atmosphere is popular among the lunch crowd from nearby businesses who also leave work early to catch the popular happy hour specials.

Excellent tapas restaurant with several dishes each with unique flavors. Since I was with a group, I tasted dishes I wouldn't normally have ordered (curried cauliflower, banana leaf chicken & stuffed dates along with steak & shrimp staples. I don't think you could've ordered anything that wasn't tasty. Many gluten free options that those with allergies won't feel limited. Service was attentive & the only reason this got only 4 stars is bc I felt it was pretty pricey. Would definitely return with another group in order to taste more of the small plates!
