Best Spanish Restaurants in San Carlos, San Francisco Bay Area

We had an outstanding experience at Macarena. Every dish we ordered was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We especially loved the hand-carved Jamón Ibérico and the squid ink rice/paella negra, which were both beautifully prepared and very memorable. The tapas were also great for sharing with our group, and everything felt authentic and well-balanced. The service was excellent as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole dinner feel very comfortable. We would definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to friends.

Great experience. Brunch menu was more gourmet than we wanted but they were very accommodating and the service was incredible.

Very loud inside, reco outside seating. The food was quite good, the service a bit uneven and slow. Good patatas bravas, good ones are hard to find. Crab croquetas and gambas ajillo excellent. And the meal did not come close to breaking the bank. We’ll be back.

I highly recommend Canela! The service and food are outstanding! The ambiance makes you feel like you are in Spain. The neighborhood is really nice, too.

Amour Amour continues to be our favorite go-to restaurant for family dinners, gatherings with friends, and special occasions. The atmosphere is always beautiful and welcoming, and the food is absolutely spectacular every single time. We especially appreciate the exceptional service and attention we always receive from David and Karla — they truly make every visit feel special and memorable. Highly recommended!
