Cascal

About

400 Castro St., Mountain View; 650.940.9500. Cascal is the first and last name in tapas south of San Francisco. Owner Don Durante has an encyclopedic knowledge of all the right dishes and international wines. On top of that, this place is a party. It’s big and spacious and still usually packed. The full bar and extensive wine list make Cascal one of the only places in the South Bay where you can get a good caipirinha, the national drink of Brazil. -- Metro Bars/Clubs, June 16-22, 2010

The lively Mountain View restaurant brings the traditions of Spain and Latin America together with delicious small plates, great cocktails and wines and music.
