In Short – A near-instant hit, this restaurant is a snazzy blend of New and Old World design with a sleek modern bar, billowing drapes in the dining room and a menu to match. Sauteed mussels and clams, wild mushroom empanadas and main courses like paella are in a mostly Spanish vein. But there are also more newfangled dishes like poblano-pepper pizza and fusion pastas.

Fun atmoshere, excellent food, friendly service.

I went to Cascal on a first date and things couldn't have been any better. With our reservation, we were seated immediately. The bar was very crowded (where I was waiting for my date to arrive) but I still was served a drink within seconds of standing in the crowd. Impressive! After ordering, our food came quickly, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the atmoshere was so fun. Live Latin Jazz! Everything I tasted was exquisite including the Sangria. We ended up going back to Cascal on our second date with friends for drinks, and danced to the great music. So much fun, a must in Mountain View. I can't wait to go back again.
- Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
- Cons: Noisy

Great food, location and atmosphere
by rosa_l at Citysearch
Very good dinner choice! The menu includes among others Spanish and Cuban specialties. The service is (most of the times) great. Try to avoid showing up without a reservation, or your wait will be utterly long; unless it is rather early, in which case you may be lucky and get a table. I'd say more, but you better go and see for yourself... bon appetite!!
- Pros: Life music, warm ambience, nice outdoor patio

2nd time is a charm
by abbywain at Citysearch
when Cascal first opened, my boyfirend and I were excited about a tapas place in our neighborhood. The interior is nice, inviting, and comfy. The service was good, Sangria great. The food, though, left much to be desired. My squid ink paella was dry and burnt, the tapas (obviously forgetful) left much to be desired.
I have to admit I am a bit picky, the foodie that I am, but I always try to give every place the benefit of the doubt.
However, a second visit about 8 months later, and WOW. The tapas menu was more refined, everything tasted much better, and they have great live music (albeit loud) on the weekend. The food improved so much, we will definitely go back for more.
- Pros: Sangria, improved food, great atmosphere
- Cons: Long waits
