Experienced the Kopali Pop up and it was great! Food was very flavorful, service was excellent, all around a great night.

I had dinner at the Kopali pop-up last night - it was terrific. Many of the same service staff as Bellota, so that was great, and the food - now gourmet Mexican - was delicious. Just the right combinations of spices, sauces (mole was great), traditional recipes with modern twists.. hope they extend their stay!

It was the Kopali popup tonight, high-end Mexican food. I had duck done carnitas, both juicy and crispy. The raw scallops were amazing as well. I hope this guy gets a restaurant of his own because everything we tried was delicious.

So sad to see such an amazing restaurant close down. It was such a treat to visit again before it closes! Had a wonderful date night with delicious food. I have often suggested this location for corporate dinners - and it's always been a hit! Thank you for everything

This restaurnat is too good. I have been dining here since they opened and it's one of my favorite restaurants in SF. A group of friends and I chose to celebrate at Bellota one last time before its official closure, Saturday 8/17. From the cocktails, small plates, and paella- Bellota is and will always be a true gem. Every plate was spot on, and flavorful.

I am very sorry to see this place go as it has been a favorite. I am hopeful its menu and overall concept will resurface somewhere. The band was a bit loud for my tastes, but the overall atmosphere and the food were great.

Great dinner for my wife's birthday! Food & cocktails were all excellent, and our server was very helpful- highly recommend! But I think I heard it's closing? Hope they are able to find another location somewhere in SF- so good!

I've loved this place for a long time and have been a patron for years, but the service and food have gone downhill. The flavors were just ok- the server was pushy to get us to leave. Not sure I'll be back any time soon.

Amazing restaurant. Loved the food and the service
Nice looking place. On a hot day no ac was turned on. Water was requested. When arrived it was hot. ice had to be requested. The food was ok. Have eaten better., Had to pay a lot for three pieces of bread. Went for a family member's birthday. Three ice cream scoops were given. Staff did not sing happy birthday. They said nothing.

Bellota is one of the better Spanish restaurants in San Francisco. It is very nicely decorated and has plenty of seating. We made a reservation ahead of time, but they do take walk-in customers. We asked to be seated at the kitchen bar area so we could watch them cook, and we luckily were seated right in front of the paella station!
Here's what you should order:
* Pulpo gallega, $25 (4.5 out of 5 stars) - we always order octopus from Spanish restaurants to see how well it's cooked. This might have been our favorite dish of the night. The octopus has a little bit of a kick to it, which we enjoyed.
* Jamon ibérico, $32 (4.5-5 stars) - you really can't go wrong with this iconic appetizer of sliced premier ham. Get it with the pan con tomate. It's one of our faves and a must order.
* Paella, $55-65 depending on which one you order (4 out of 5 stars) - they always have 3 on the menu, and some of them rotate given the season. We had one with shrimp and red peppers, and it was pretty good. They gave us an aioli on the side for the rice as well. It's a large portion and we definitely took some home for leftovers.
* Boquerones, $5 (3 out of 5 stars) - these are sardines in an olive salsa. We wished there was more flavor in this dish.
* Churros (4 stars) - leave room for dessert. You can never go wrong with churros.
Overall, solid Spanish food option for SF. It wasn't too hard to find street parking on Brannan. Bring a small group with you and order a bunch of these dishes.

Staff was amazing. Accommodated our last-minute dinner reservation for 14 people with patience and grace, despite having two other large parties. Food and drinks were excellent too. Thank you!

The food was delicious. Delightful and sometimes unexpected flavors. Wonderful warm attentive staff. We definitely took every recommendation offered, from timing to wine pairing, and could not have been more happy with the results. Jerry was the star studded steward we all deserve for service standards! I can't wait to go back!
