Patio Espanol - San Francisco

Paella is one of the best I cost. We also had the combination of New York Steak with grilled onions and pawns. Steak was tender and tasteful. Could help, but order lambs. Delicious! Very recommended!

Great value buffet included wine and coffee. No so many kinds of food but still cheap .

Plenty of parking. Plenty of space to spread out. Not too noisy. Very bright. Food is old tradition. Great servers. Take your time ordering. Good suggestions. Solid food. Had fried calamari was lightly breaded. Salad or soup with entree. Went for salad. Big portions. Just very enjoyable dinner. Was reasonable price. Delicious.

The pasta was a little heavy and I didn't like the breading on the chicken in it. They don't have a large menu. The bread was very fresh. Plenty of parking and that's important in San Francisco.

My wife and I went there for dinner, Friday night, (last night both of us are (very familiar with Spanish food, tried for many years in different places (countries . We have our favorites. A short, limited menu would not help, does not describe AT ALL how the dishes are served, just a plain, literal translation of the name from Spanish to English. We wanted to order a bottle of wine, my wife asked the waiter, (no name, old male, about the kind of wines, grapes, but it was useless, he was quick to say he didn 't know, and usually people don 't ask questions about the wine he said, we just looked at each other and she went to order a bottle from the list. When I asked him a couple of questions about how the dishes were served, he showed the same attitude/ignorance to us, so we decided to order Paella, and a rack of lamb ribs. Paella was ok, average, the rack of ribs was small portion, barely warm some pieces cold, and tasteless, they put some cherry pepper sauce on top, but by far it was not cook together. No good at all. Of course it would be useless to tell the waiter after the previous experience. We finished our wine and left. Its sad to put the business in the hands of mediocre, ignorant, careless employees who don 't care for either cooking the food right, or serve the customers with total lack of professional, knowledgeable waiters that would care for the customers experience.
