Sabor of Spain in San Rafael - Friday September 3rd

Sabor of Spain
1301 4th St.
San Rafael CA, 94901
Happy hour at Sabor of Spain 5 to 6:30 Tuesday - Friday


The hard wood floors, dark red and brown accent walls , granite bar with tea candles set a sexy ambiance, with a touch of metropolitan, which includes sidewalk seating:).  Sabor of Spain offers Spanish style tapas and wines, without leaving the comforts of Marin, and the hassles of the airport.
House red or white wine $3 a glass
Sangria $3 a glass (red only)
Tapas two for the price of one ( tapas range from $6 to $15)
With the price point of $3 a glass wine for happy hour, we couldn't afford not to drink. The house white was Raymond Sauvignon Blanc from Napa, and the house red was Filus Malbec from Argentina, both ok, but at only $3 a glass, we moved their rating up to good... yep we were swayed by the cheap booze.  They have a fantastic Sangria, full bodied, lots of pieces of fruit, refreshing, well balanced, and again the great happy hour price of $3 a glass!
The tapas were very Spanish style, LARGE portions. Our favorites were the Empanadas, Spanish pastry stuffed with chicken, mushrooms, spinach and peppers, and the Pinchos de Calamar, grilled calamari with a garlic aioli. The flavors were ordinary, which was sad cuz with Spanish style food you are expecting a little or a big POP, but the pop never happened:(.

Over all rating from the group 7.75 out of 10, we'd go back, but we're in no hurry
