San Francisco Restaurant Guide

Cafe Arguello is a family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant and we take great pride in serving one of the finest Basque and Spanish comfort foods in the city.

Immigrating to San Francisco in the Mission District in 1962, the Argüello family grew up in a new lifestyle of the most diverse neighborhood and surrounding district, with great food, art, music and culture. The ethnicity in my new home inspired me to share my art in culinary and everything with it; the wines, hosting, whom make the their guests feel welcomed and comfortable, which is something I truly value.

We decided to open the restaurant, which was a life long dream in 2000 on 1499 Valencia st., After five years in the business we moved to our current location, 2832 Mission st. in 2006, with a better, extensive tapas menu and enhanced venue. Regulars have been calling us La Nueva Espa?a.

This is a special place to gather with co-workers, friends, and family over festive tapas and sangria, We make our guests feel specially welcome with our mind-blowing food, amazing music and eclectic conversation.
