Cascal, Spanish restaurant in Mountain View, US
Cascal is a Spanish and Latin American restaurant in Mountain View, California, serving tapas, paella, ceviche, and Cuban dishes. It has both indoor seating and an outdoor area open to the street.
The restaurant opened in 2003, bringing Spanish and Latin American cooking to the heart of Silicon Valley. It has stayed in the same location since then, becoming a reference point for these flavors in the area.
Diners here share small plates in the Spanish tradition, passing dishes around the table while enjoying Latin music performances on weekends.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and weekends tend to be livelier due to live music. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The kitchen uses Spanish bomba rice for its paellas, a short-grain variety that absorbs more liquid without turning mushy. This gives the dish a texture closer to what you would find in Valencia.
