Instead of flamenco music, low-fi beats played as servers polished glasses behind the bar. The modern space, adorned with trailing plants and orange pottery and flooded with natural light, was not what I expected from a tapas restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For owner Raul Aguilera that\u2019s exactly the point. Instead of repeating the same clunky and overused motifs of bulls and flamenco dancers, Aguilera chose to model the restaurant after the bars he enjoyed in his native Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBars in Spain are places where people stand up, order little bits of food \u2026 it\u2019s a place to hang out \u2026 like Starbucks. If you want to meet somebody, you go to Starbucks. In Spain you go to a bar,\u201d Aguilera said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Aguilera moved to San Francisco from Madrid in 2004, he couldn\u2019t find a bar \u2013\u2013 or Spanish food, for that matter \u2013\u2013 that reminded him of home. \u201cI was miserable here,\u201d Aguilera said. \u201cI didn\u2019t have Spanish food and I didn\u2019t have a lot of money [to spend on eating out].\u201d<br>So, Aguilera learned to cook from Spanish cookbooks his parents mailed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"400\" width=\"600\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-50239\" data-id=\"50239\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Destapas_3553.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Destapas owner, Raul Aguilera, looks over the menu of his Spanish restaurant on 24th Street.

Just as he was ready to open at the beginning of 2020, the pandemic hit. \u201c[We] had to delay the opening, but we were already paying rent,\u201d Aguilera said. \u201cIt was very stressful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, Destapas opened for take-out only in December 2020. However, this proved to be a challenge in itself. \u201cThis concept of Spanish food for to-go sometimes [was] \u2026 tricky,\u201d Aguilera explained. \u201cPeople really want to enjoy these tapas in the space, in a lively environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, \u201cwe had the feeling that this could work, so we struggled to cling onto the idea and kept going,\u201d Aguilera said. Destapas opened outdoor dining on their covered back patio in February 2021 and is now open for indoor dining, catering and private events as well.<br>Still, life in the restaurant industry is tiring. \u201cIt\u2019s been really hard on our families,\u201d Aguilera said. \u201cWe\u2019ve dedicated every day, pretty much 18 hours a day [to the restaurant].\u201d<br>Despite setbacks, Aguilera remains rooted in his desire to bring Spanish cuisine to the Mission. \u201cI wanted [Destapas\u2019 menu] to be really the food that you would eat in a bar in Spain. Nothing fancy,\u201d Aguilera said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the core tenets of Spanish food, Aguilera replied, \u201cgood quality of ingredients and simplicity.\u201d Many dishes like Destapas\u2019 Spanish tortilla, or omelette, have only three to four ingredients, so each ingredient must be fresh and flavorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produce is sourced from markets on 24th Street. Gulf prawns, squid, white fish, clams and mussels for seafood paella are sourced from local fisheries. Most wines and specific ingredients \u2013\u2013 olives, chorizo, meaty white asparagus, lower-sodium anchovies and humanely-raised, cured jam\u00f3n \u2013\u2013 are imported from Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aguilera explained that some restaurants \u201cmix tabasco with ketchup and that\u2019s their [patatas bravas] sauce.\u201d Destapas blends fresh vegetables to create a sauce that\u2019s smoky, peppery, and subtly sweet to complement the fried potatoes and thick, lemony aioli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destapas emphasizes simplicity not only in its menu and atmosphere, but in its price point as well. \u201cWe really are interested in having people from the neighborhood come by. That is key for us,\u201d Aguilera said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of Destapas\u2019 kitchen staff are Latinx, not Spanish, which the owners view as an asset. \u201cThey know how to cook,\u201d Aguilera said. \u201cThey can build that seasoning of the home-cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom what I\u2019ve seen,\u201d Aguilera reflected, \u201cpeople are embracing the cuisine \u2026 It\u2019s really special that they\u2019re coming from 24th Street [to Destapas].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Spanish visitors, \u201cThey finally found a place that reminds them of home,\u201d Aguilera said. For Mission residents, Destapas remains \u201ca place that comes alive \u2026 [that] reminds you of the whole Spanish experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re headed to Destapas, don\u2019t miss the croquetas, a cheesy guest favorite, or happy hour (which starts Nov. 9) from 4-6 p.m. every Tuesday through Friday. Aguilera\u2019s favorite is the patatas bravas, but the seafood paella makes for a savory, briny meal if you\u2019re looking for something more substantial. And as you sip sangr\u00eda from the bar or pop aceitunas from the patio, make sure to, as Aguilera reminded, \u201chonor the whole Spanish bar concept\u201d and befriend a few strangers, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I stepped into Destapas, I was met not by flashy posters of bulls and dancers in red skirts, but by a pop art cityscape sprawled across the wall.
