Third visit and I think I can finally say I've experienced pretty much everything Suspiro has to offer. This time, after the Mother's Day dinner, my mom and I checked out their speakeasy. But first, the paella is still a must-order. We went with the seafood paella this time and it was just as good as I remembered, fresh ingredients, packed with flavor, and still my favorite paella in the Bay Area. The Patatas Bravas wasn't quite as memorable as my first visit, but still good. As for the speakeasy, it's definitely one of the nicest upscale cocktail spots in San Jose. It's not exactly hidden, just walk past the restroom area and through the curtain, but the atmosphere is beautiful. Dim lighting, elegant decor, great music, and gorgeous bar setup. I ordered the Enchanted for myself and my mom got Midnight in Spain, and both cocktails were well-made and beautifully presented. I always enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders work their magic. Overall, another great experience. Between the food, cocktails, and atmosphere, Suspiro continues to impress me. Definitely a spot I'll keep recommending to friends and family. read more

Suspiro has become one of our go-to places to take friends for a meal. Service is great and friendly, plenty of seating inside and outside, and the food is delicious. We've ordered a good spread of their menu between the times we've visited, but we always come back to: paella, ceviche, and sangria. There's a variety to choose from for each, so pick whatever speaks to you -- they'll all be tasty. If you're planning to also order a spread of different food like we did, a medium paella was enough for a party of 4 (even though it says that it serves 2). We also tried the empanadas on our most recent visit, and those were also super yummy. When in doubt, ask your server! Ours gave us great recommendations each time. There's also a special brunch menu on weekends with more brunchy things like bottomless mimosas, French toast, and benedicts if that's your jam. read more

Food was very good. We went to suspiro not knowing if we'd have a ton of options given our dietary restrictions and we found that they have a ton of veggie options. We ordered the bombas, empanadas vegetales, the skewers, the papayas and the Spanish omelette and it was all very good. My favorite was probably the empanada stuffed with a corn filling, but the bombas were also very nice. The drinks were good too. We left feeling full and we had about half of the patatas we ordered. Service was very good, they even brought us an extra dessert for our anniversary which was a nice touch. We would definitely come back!! The vibes and the atmosphere were good. Was a bit noisy but nothing unreasonable for a Saturday night at Santana row. read more

We had a big group and made an advanced reservation. Service was great, food came out promptly and we were really happy with the drinks. Really like the fusion between peruvian and spanish, the paellas were really good and each tasted very different from the other, really enjoyed that they didn't all taste the same. read more

Enjoyed the vibe and service was great. Food was alright, brunch menu had no taste and new item Scallop with green sauce was not worth the price at all. I was afraid that I would not be full so I ordered Empenada too anddddd I was not full at all with those Well I did enjoyed the sun, music and the surrounding then stopped for ice cream later and had late lunch at home again read more

I'm sorry I just can't get over the service I just had. I went to the speakeasy on a Friday night around 8 which was not too crowded which I loved. Was greeted nicely by the bartenders. But I felt the hate from the waitress as soon as she walked to the table and interacted with me. I asked what her what she recommended, gave her a choice of two drinks, and she sooo rudely said, " ma'am I don't drink where I work". Mm ok. So very unhelpful. Asked her about the Foccacia appetizer and again, another rude response that she's never had it. Her response for a lot of the questions were basically, " I have no idea but a lot of people order it". I just felt so rubbed the wrong way that I had to write this review right away. Like if you hate customers for no reason and have never tried the drinks or food where you work at, what is the point of you being here?? Overall, I'm not looking to come back anytime soon. read more

First time trying the S bar in Suspiro and this is definitely being added to the lineup for sip and yap locations. The vibes were immaculate and the drinks + food were delish! Got 2 gin martinis, 2 hugo spritz, and 2 specialty cocktails :) All the drinks were fabulous and were so necessary after solidcore session. The ceviche mixto was bright and fresh and the paella was so yummy. The service was 10/10, atmosphere amazing, and vibes were it. Can't wait to bring everyone I know here hahahaha! read more

Suspiro is elegant casual with a super chill, yet sophisticated vibe. They have beautiful inside and outdoor seating. We arrived early on a Saturday and were seated right away. Service started out great. We ordered the mariscos paella right away because it takes awhile to cook. Mariscos is the seafood version. But since we had 30 minutes, we ordered a couple additional tapas and Bloody Mary. One was tortilla de patatas which is like a quiche type egg omelette with potatoes. It came with delicious garlic cream sauce. Without that it was bland. We also had albondigas, which are delicious meatballs on a bed of mashed potatoes. And when the paella came, that was excellent too. Crispy on top but not on the bottom. They use a lot of oil on the bottom and meat broil the top. It was all tasty but pricey. These items were $165 all in. For instance, at &18, it was $5 per meatball. But really good meatballs! By the time we finished, it was quite busy in the restaurant. Service level dropped off and took a long time for dessert and check. Overall, very good restaurant. read more

I was super excited to try some amazing Peruvian food in santana row and suspiro looked amazing from yelp pictures so couldn't wait to come here and give this a shot. We finally made it here and the space looked amazing. We got seated right away and I loved the interiors. The high ceilings added an amazing touch to the ambiance. We took a look at their menu and loved all the amazing options they had.. it was vast. We came here and whatever we ordered came to our table within 5 mins.. I was shocked. Literally all our food came right away. Now regarding the taste itself.. I would say it didn't quite hit the mark with us. It was good, don't get me wrong but honestly after having mind blowing Peruvian food in the past this didn't quite amaze us to the fullest. read more

Suspiro is a really cozy spot with great aesthetics and a welcoming atmosphere. The waitstaff wear classy black aprons that add to the vibe, and everyone was genuinely friendly and attentive. The mix ceviche was fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The croquettes were also tasty, although the ham croquette was a little disappointing since it tasted more like the sauce than the ham itself. We ordered the carne paella, and while it was absolutely delicious, the portion was massive for two people. I wish they offered a smaller size because we ended up with way more food than we could finish. It also felt a bit expensive considering the amount of meat included. The octopus in the ceviche was another miss for me. It lacked the bite and texture I was hoping for, and it was chopped so small that it was hard to really taste it or get any mouthfeel from it. One thing I highly recommend is asking for their hot sauce. It's an orange colored sauce that reminded me of the creamy orange salsa you get at some taquerias, and it was seriously good. The cocktails were reasonably priced, and most of the tapas felt fairly priced as well. That said, $15 for four croquettes felt a little steep. I also enjoyed their house made taro chips, though they're an extra $4. My only other complaint is that their digital menu doesn't include pictures. It would make ordering a lot easier, especially for first time visitors. I also wish they had a larger tapas selection since that's what I'd primarily come back for. Overall, Suspiro is a great spot for tapas and cocktails with a fun atmosphere, friendly service, and some standout dishes. I'd definitely return, though I'd probably skip the paella unless I was dining with a larger group. read more

Pretty restaurant with nice interior. We visited on a busy Friday lunchtime, the service was quite slow, we have to wait for order and long delays for basic requests like clean plates. The Ceviche Mixto was refreshing and a great choice in the warm weather, the Gambas al Ajillo with shrimp, mashed potatoes and garlic bread was quite nice. However, I'd skip the Paella Negra, it was tasted fishy and lacked of flavor. The Rosé Sangria was a pleasant highlight to this lunch meal. read more

Food - Got the chicken croquette, seafood empanada, and jamon Benedict for lunch Croquette was super crispy, but it was too rich and creamy for me. Empanada was different and unique but I wouldn't get it again. I'm glad I tried it. Benedict was the star! They use aji Amarillo for the hollandaise and it made all the difference. Service was great. Price is fair and ambiance was nice. Parking was not that convenient but it is what it is for the area! read more

Suspiro - Seafood Empanada Croquetas de pollo (4) - Spanish Near Me - San Jose, California

This trendy Peruvian - Spanish restaurant is the perfect blend of flavors! Heavy spanish tapas paired with bright Peruvian ceviche makes for a well balanced meal in the heart of Santana Row! The meal is pricey, but it is worth trying this spot at least once to experience how these cultures meld to form such a unique cuisine. Classico Ceviche: 8/10 Solid ceviche! Bright flavors. I like the natural Peruvian non-GMO corn kernels inside. Berenjena y Salsa: 9/10 Amazing roasted eggplant with the perfect smoky sauce accompanied by a delectable cheese that makes the dish taste like an exotic eggplant parmesan! Definitely a highlight and a very unique dish I haven't seen elsewhere! Gambas al Ajillo : 6/10 The shrimp texture was perfect but what we got is not what I typically expect from Gambas al Ajillo. It lacked garlic flavor and this dish was primarily mashed potatoes more than shrimp. Patatas Bravas: 7/10 Uses the same smoky sauce from the eggplant to create a unique spin on traditional spanish patatas bravas! (Plus the kitchen gave this to us for free because they made extra!!) Pulpo : 8/10 One of the more elevated dishes here! The octopus arm was accompanied by peruvian purple potato, a roasted lemon (adding the perfect brightness), and a crunchy purple potato tuille. It was a bit chewier than desired, but was otherwise an amazing dish! Ambiance: 10/10 Very trendy and warm! Nice atmosphere for date night or a cute brunch. Even the bar seats were comfy and the outdoors area has heat lamps. Service : 10/10 The staff were so nice and even gave us an extra tapa of the patata bravas! They even helped lead us to the secret speakeasy afterward read more

The food wasn't nothing really special , the queen of the day was the Beef empanadas, better than other places but the price for two $18 and the size are in the smaller side. The tortilla de papas ( Spanish potato omelet) was ok but too dry. Patatas bravas something in the middle with a lot of room to improve. Paella.... ????? Yes question mark. Do can't call what you served paella even seafood rice it's a big name for it. Just calamari cooked with the rice, missing other seafood, like octopus, white fish , clams, and missing the saffron flavor. A lot of sofrito o too much paprika. And top of the rice few grill prawns and steam (frozen) green mussels, no socarrat ( basic for any good paella) and kind of gratin in the top. very different that I know for a dish call paella, so sad and bad. Flavor mmmmm no for me. Server Oswald was very attentive and cordial. He please every request with a smile. The ambience is modern with the bar in the middle off the dining area. Also they have a patio. Prices are in the high ..... 4 appetizers, 1 main dish, 1 desserts, 2 soft drinks and 1 bottom less sangria a little more than $200 with out tax and tip. I really like to trying something else but I'm no sure if I'm going back. read more

We were looking for a restaurant with big windows on a rainy night and so grateful we landed here. The food is delicious and the service from Jazz, impeccable! We had their signature cocktails and it's the perfect kinda cocktail that pairs well with a rainy ambiance and a sunny day and we look forward to coming back on a sunny day to enjoy outside! And as Jazz said their cocktail menu pairs well with their food items. We had their tomato bisque perfect for a rainsy night), charcuterie board with jamon iberico and queso manchego (accompanied with fruits and a perfectly paired made-in-house jam) and had the paella de mariscos (the shrimp was my favorite, the hubby preferred the mussels and we both liked the squids texture) To top us off, we had a two glasses of their pinot noir and flan for dessert. I wished the flan was a bit sweeter but my husband thought it had thw perfect amount of sweetness. The decor is beautiful, open and airy with a bar at its center. We got seated at like a long bench which with a cushion as the backing (i found uncomfortable and kinda was hoping we'd get seated at a booth since the restaurant wasn't too busy but alas it meant we got to meet Jazz!) When we come back we hope to have more of an appetite and try one of their platos fuertes. read more

I was very excited about this cuisine and restaurant and got the opportunity to try it out in an office event. Let's talk taste first, beautiful set up inside, our server was great too! I couldn't taste anything special or special in the food. Empanadas were normal 7/10, croquettes were fine too 8/10, for entrees we had chicken/pork Paella and vegetarian Paella. They were average tasting for me 6/10. Lastly we ordered some desserts and we had 4 different things Flan, cheesecake, chocolate cake and sponge cake I didn't try Flan, but the others. Chocolate cake was nice and warm and busting with flavors 9/10. Cheese cake was also good 9/10 and the sponge cake had some elderberry syrup which I couldn't appreciate. read more

Came here for lunch on a holiday Monday. They were still serving brunch, which is normally only weekends, but with it being a holiday, they extended the menu. The brunch menu is in addition to the lunch menu. I came with a big group and we ended up ordering two different paellas. We got a medium (serves 2) of the Fideua and a large (serves 4) of the Paella de Mariscos. The Fideua was the crowd favorite as it was unique and served with short noodle paella in lieu of rice. The Paella de Mariscos is more traditional with the rice, shrimp, mussels, squid and aioli sauce. We also got their ceviche, which was refreshing and delightful. My friend and I also tried their omelettes of their brunch menu. I got the chorizo with asparagus and manchego cheese while my friend got the seafood that came with shrimp and white fish with onions. We both thought the omelette was alright. Could use more flavor and something else. Honesty, skip it. Service was good, they were attentive. The place was relatively quiet for a holiday lunch. They are also on InKind app, which makes getting cash back, rewards, and paying a breeze. read more

Ambiance is very nice, and the back connects to a bar/speakeasy-type place! Paella: large enough to share with 2, but we had 3 peckish people and still had some left over. The physical dish is wide, but it's not deep. The sauce is definitely one of the highlights! Ceviche Mixto: recommended by the server, this was amazing! However, Rocoto pepper is a nightshade related to berries, and we had a berry allergy in our group. The server and manager were both extremely kind in remedying the situation, and even checked with their chef about all the ingredients. I appreciate their effort! Flan: I'm not a flan person, but this one was irresistible!! I loved its light sweetness, texture, and flavor!! Highly recommend. Pricing seems right for Santana Row, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt your soul a little when you pay lol. I also feel like their menu isn't super extensive, so the four of us took a while to decide what we wanted to share. However, I feel like that just means they really specialize in their dishes! read more

Loved the vibrant atmosphere and the spacious indoor + outdoor seating. Service was very friendly, and they walked us through the menu, which we always appreciate. First time here, so we went all in and ordered a little bit of everything - mixed seafood ceviche, sausage paella, tempura shrimp over purple potato cake, roasted eggplant, beef empanadas, and meatballs, plus two glasses of fruity sangria. Everything was flavorful and we were very full by the end...so dessert will have to wait for next time. Favorites: the ceviche, paella, and meatballs. read more

Don't be fooled by the hip and chic interior. Food is very mid here--we didn't like all single dish here sadly. Everything lacked flavor or was lukewarm. - Mariscos Fritos: 1/5 came out soggy and not even crisp. Asked the waiter if we could have it be remade and it came back extremely overcooked and almost burnt and very crunchy. - Berenjena y Salsa: 1/5 no flavor or seasoning. Too much cheese. And worst, it was not even hot (cries) - Ceviche Mixto: 3/5 needed more seasoning, the portions were good, but the fish was not super fresh imo. Still chewy. - Paella de Marsicos: 2/5 they didn't cook it long enough for it to get that dry crispy bottom. Basically was still mushy like porridge. :/ Service was great and our server was so sweet. Vibes were cool here but food really lacked. I can see how maybe getting drinks after work here would b cool but otherwise I'd skip this spot if you're trying to have good food. Also music was unbearably loud here lol. read more

Suspiro - Long Island and coconut tequila - Spanish Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here to try out their paella, patatas bravas, ceviche, croquette de jamon among other items. The paella we ordered was Paella de Mariscos. It was alright but not as flavorful as I would expect out a good seafood based paella. Also I asked for a more burnt base but it came out still a little too soggy and without the crusty bottom I was expecting. The patatas bravas has a nice crunch to it but the aioli brava drizzles over the potatoes was incredibly little and sparing that we had to ask them to bring out more sauce on the side. Cerviche was fresh and good. I ordered their off menu, mezcal cocktail which has a little stronger tequila concentration than the ones I had in other places. Nice ambiance with modern setup. Like how the restaurant has an "open concept" and you get nice fresh breeze of air coming into the air conditioned restaurant. read more

Santana Row has A LOT of new restaurants and we haven't been to any of them. Well, we knocked off 3 (yes, 3!) in one evening: Suspiro, Augustine, and Zazil. First, Suspiro. They have a "secret" bar, but unfortunately, it was closed for a private event. But the restaurant was so pretty and lively, and the hostess was so nice, that we decided to sit at the regular bar. Suspiro is Peruvian, which meant we had to order the Pisco Sour. We also got the Pitahaya, which had gin, dragon fruit, orange juice, egg white, and a Tempronillo red wine float. Since it was 87 degrees, ceviche sounded good, so we got that to snack on. We agreed that the Pisco Sour at Cascal's is still the best, but Suspiro had the most potential out of the 3 restaurants that we tried tonight. I loved the vibe! The restaurant was just so well designed, we really did feel like we were transported to Spain on a hot, sultry night! The service was good and the ceviche was fresh and a surprisingly large portion. This ended up being our favorite spot of the night. We will definitely be back to try the secret bar! read more

Tucked away by Cinemark and the NetApp office is Suspiro, an aesthetically pleasing, Instagram-worthy Spanish and Peruvian tapas place. I wasn't sure what to expect, but their food was excellent. We ordered the empanadas de vegetales, croquetas de jamon, lomo saltado, papas bravas, squid ink paella, and cocktails: Poncho and an espresso martini. Everything came out super fast, and the empanadas and croquetas were to die for. I would've ordered more of the croquetas had I still had room for it. Our server was excellent at checking in on us throughout the night and allowing us to enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. She recommended we check out their speakeasy in the back after dinner: S Bar. Absolutely loved the entire concept, the decor, good music (heard many tracks by singer Miguel come on) and the fact that they had a completely different drink menu from the main restaurant. The food was a little pricey, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a fancier tapas spot. Nevertheless, I would come back here again! read more

Was really looking forward to trying this new restaurant and the menu looked promising. Beautiful restaurant in Santana Row. We had a very good server and overall had a good service experience, but the food unfortunately was kinda meh. - Jamon croquettas - 4 out of 5 stars, pretty good, though small bites only - Beef empanadas - 2.5 out of 5 stars, flat flavor overall, needed more seasoning and would have benefitted from more of an acidic sauce like a chimichurri - Shrimp with garlic - 2.5 out of 5 stars, overall the dish was bland! Needed flavor or at a minimum more salt. It didn't help it was served on top of basic mashed potatoes. The grilled bread also wasn't toasted or seasoned, so more bland on top of bland. The shrimp was cooked well, but sad it lacked flavor. What a shame! - Mixed ceviche - 4.5 out of 5 stars. Definitely the best thing we had all night. A beautiful plate of mixed ceviche with great flavor, bracing acid and a nice little kick. Definitely also get the taro chips on the side to pair with the ceviche. This was excellent. - Bread pudding 4 out of 5 stars. Quite good, nice flavor and moist paired with some nice cherries. I wish the food was better, but still on the search for amazing tapas. read more

Overall, this was a bit of a mixed experience for me - some positives, but also a few things that made it hard to justify the price point (at least based on the lunch menu). First, service was very kind. The heater wasn't working inside while we were there, but they offered to bring me a blanket, which actually helped a lot. Food-wise, it was more mixed. The Ensalada Barcelona was actually quite good - fresh, well-balanced, and probably my favorite thing we ordered. The mocktails were also good, though on the sweeter side. If you like a sweeter drink, you'll probably enjoy them, but I personally would have preferred a little more balance. Unfortunately, the carpaccio de ternera was a miss for me. I rarely leave food unfinished, but I couldn't finish this one. It just tasted bad. The pan con tomate also surprised me - it was essentially a light tomato sauce on toasted bread, which felt a bit underwhelming for the price point. At the end of the day, for the price, I was hoping for a bit more depth. To be fair, I've only tried the lunch menu, so dinner may be a different experience. But based on this visit, it felt overpriced for what we received. Kind service and a couple bright spots, but not somewhere I'm rushing back to. read more

Well-decorated, modern restaurant in Santana Row! Have been wanting to visit but I think it's always busy here. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I made a reservation for lunch on a friday. It wasn't busy at all. We sat inside and ordered a medium paella de mariscos (shrimp, mussels, squid, aioli) and the ceviche mixto (white fish, shrimp, scallops, octopus, leche de tigre, Rocoto pepper). I thought the ceviche was interesting. The seafood on the paella was delicious although the dish was a bit oily (but expected). read more

We came here with a big party of 15 people. My biggest compliment is the service. From the woman at the front door taking people to their tables to the waiters to the team cleaning the table the service was the BEST. I never had to raise my hand for anything. If you start looking around for someone they will come right away to get you what you need. Sometimes the service alone will get me to comeback to the restaurant. However that was not the only bright spot. The Paella's were very very delicious. I am setting it apart to say the seafood items got me hooked. The seafood paella and the ceviche are so so delicious and a must try. The specialty cocktails were a change of pace because they had some I had never heard or tried, they were definitely a taste from the Peru/Spain motherlands. The atmosphere was another great positive, the music was great with the Latino beats, and the bars and tables were nice and beautiful. In the end this is a great spot for dates, big groups and or the family. read more

Our server was very kind and attentive, we went for our anniversary and did the speakeasy portion of the restaurant. It was much more quiet and intimate. We went around 6:45 and it started getting busy closer to 7-8 We shared a couple of drinks and some carbs. The patatas bravas we wish would have been crisper. The Mariscos plate was yummy especially the creamy sauce. Honestly the drinks are the main attraction here. If you like something sweet go for the midnight in Paris and if you want something sour then the pisco sour is for you. read more
