I am quite impressed by the quality of the dishes! Starting with the brussel sprouts, the foamy creamy layer of aged cheese was excellent with the appetizer. The crab croquette was small but I savored it all. The paellas (there is both large and medium option which is not listed on the menu) are well seasoned. You can request for socorrat, if you want the crunchy bits, I’d emphasize it as the socorrat we got wasn’t as crunchy as we’d prefer. Having that said, I enjoyed the meal tremendously!

Another great location for Teleferic. Smaller location than Scottsdale but they have a large patio. Tuna tacos can’t be beat Tried the meatballs and they are now a favorite. I tried the bacon wrapped shrimp and they looked nothing like I envisioned. Basically Spanish egg rolls. Tasty
Service was friendly but a little too relaxed.

It’s already a very famous place, but I only visited it today. I had the chance to come last year, but I postponed it because I was traveling to Spain, and finally got to go. I liked the slightly modern yet cozy atmosphere, and the food was delicious. Especially the ink paella was definitely the best. If there was a downside, it was that the clams weren’t fully cooked. I ordered octopus together, but it didn’t come out, so I inquired and they brought it right away, but I was very impressed to see them exclude it from the cost, saying it was their mistake. I’m thinking of trying a different menu next time!
I highly recommend you visit at least once.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice for dinner, and both visits were memorable in their own way.
The first time was a weekend evening with a date. We had a reservation and were seated outside on the patio, which had a very lively, upbeat tapas-bar vibe. The service was quick and attentive. We started with a few tapas- patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo (one of my all-time favorites), and crab croquettes. Everything was delicious, but the gambas al ajillo really stood out. I only wish they had served a few more slices of bread so I could soak up all that garlicky olive oil goodness. They gave just two pieces, and I felt a bit shy asking for more.
For drinks, I ordered the Barcelona sangria, which was absolutely amazing—sweet, refreshing, bubbly, and very light on the alcohol. It almost felt like a sparkling lemonade with wine. He ordered another cocktail, which he enjoyed as well. We also shared a burrata salad with pistachios, strawberries, and tomatoes. It was nice and fresh, though nothing particularly standout. That wrapped up our first visit, and overall, it was a great experience.
The second visit was with a friend who was visiting town, and this time we went all out. I ordered the same sangria again (still excellent), while my friend chose a virgin mocktail, which he really liked. We started with oysters, which were served very theatrically—on pebbles with dramatic white fumes, possibly from dry ice. Visually stunning and very fun. The oysters themselves were fresh and tasty, topped with something interesting that I sadly don’t remember, but we enjoyed them a lot.
Next came our favorite patatas bravas again, followed by a grilled octopus dish served over potato purée with truffle. The octopus was cooked perfectly—not chewy at all, just tender and flavorful. The real highlight of the meal, though, was the Barcelona-style squid ink paella. A heads-up: the portion is huge. We couldn’t finish it and had to take leftovers home. The rice was jet black from the squid ink, deeply umami-rich, and packed with seafood—octopus, clams, shrimp, and more. It was incredibly comforting and flavorful, and honestly, I may have overeaten because it was that good.
Even though we were completely full, we still ordered churros for dessert. They were decent, nothing extraordinary, but a nice way to end the meal.
Overall, the food is consistently very good, the service is fast and professional, and the atmosphere is lively with a slightly upscale feel. It’s always busy for a reason. I really enjoyed both visits and would highly recommend this place.

Came by with a group of 7 (6 adults and a baby). We had a reservation, but didn’t end up getting sat until 10 min after our original time.
We were sat at a smaller table, which was unfortunate, as we ordered quite a bit of food, so we were definitely a bit crammed.
As a table, we ordered:
-pan con tomate $8
-patatas bravas $9
-wagyu empanadas $16
-octopus $19
-tuna tacos $15
-paella negra $48
-iberico paella $56
Tuna tacos, octopus, and potatos were good. Everything else was a bit of a miss. Paella was underwhelming. Overcooked and salty. This was my first time at this location. Usually go to the Los Gatos one.
As other lower reviews have mentioned, service here was an absolute miss:
-probably saw our server twice during our meal and had to order with random people
-when asking for new plates, staff took our plates and never came back with new ones because they forgot
Originally planned for a 2 star review, as I’ve had significantly better experiences at other locations, so it could’ve been better.
What drops this to a one star: Telefaric reached out a week later via email saying there was an issue on their end and their system showed we didn’t pay. Though they mentioned it was their fault, they asked us to check our bank statements and help pay the balance. Startled, we checked and we had split the bill in 2 and clearly paid for it. We mentioned it was split and we had records. A bit later, they mentioned “they reviewed the account and can see where the issue was”
Are you kidding me? You didn’t check your system first in FULL detail…and our respose was we had it and split it, and you were able to find the issue? Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional way of going about this situation.
This just goes to show how unorganized this location is.
Not sure if I’ll be back to Telefaric based on this experience.
You’ve been warned.

The service and the food was absolutely fantastic. I’m a paella lover and the Paella Mixta with Socarrat was amazing. One of the best we have tasted in California. The shrimps were super fresh and tasty. The servers were extremely attentive. One of the best things I liked was that all of them were bilingual and very kindly spoke to us in Spanish and although they were extremely busy they were always smiling! The place was packed since we visited on a Saturday night and the vibe was vibrant.

I love this place! Been here both of my last work trips out here and it’s so good I’ll be back next t time too. Cocktails are delicious, the bartenders are lots of fun to talk to and they know a lot. The food is really something special!
* Spanish Albondigas- well made meatballs w Manchego and ham carbonara – delicious
* Tuna Tacos – special – perfect shell with fresh avocado and plenty of tuna make these bites shine
* Grilled Salmon – what a simple description for an amazingly well executed dish! The salmon is perfectly cooked (may look rare to some of y’all but trust me, it’s perfect) with a golden crust from well executed searing served on a bed of whipped cauliflower then topped with crisp Iberian ham (think bacon, but better) and snap peas. This dish is splendid and I’ve had it on both visits
Also, great ambiance with a bustle, nice “uniforms”, structured levels – really fun place and there is a small front patio
Go give Teleferic Barcelona a try – bring a friend as it’s more fun to share dishes!

Had a very delicious meal here with some friends. The service was great, waiter was nice and friendly and gave me some travel recommendations to Spain. All the food dishes we ordered were very good as well I especially enjoyed the octopus dish. Nice family style portions for sharing among the table.

Good food, EXCELLENT service! Their dishes are just fantastic! Their Pink bubly sangria is just perfect! Their tapas selection is fantastic! Their tuna tacos, patatas bravas, Shrimp and Octopus are just a few examples of their delicious selection. Nacho is the chef at this location and he shines bright in excellence with his dishes. Their service is also the best! The Teleferic in Palo Alto captures the essence of what an “excellent restaurant” means.

We came here on a Tuesday night around 6:30pm without a reservation, but fortunately we were able to get a seat at the bar within 45 minutes. The food and drinks arrived very quickly after we ordered.
– Virgin the tourist: this was sweet and tropical, I couldn’t really taste the lychee juice though
– Carajillo: this was like an espresso martini, luckily the caffeine content wasn’t too much
– Paella mixta: the pork belly was super tender and the shrimp was plump. The rice was ok in terms of flavor, and some were stuck at the bottom of the pan and hard to scoop up.
– Pulpo: This was really good. The truffle oil made it even more delicious
– Wagyu empanada: This looked very aesthetic with a leaf shaped potato chip on top, the flavor was ok though
Overall the restaurant was nice, though I was slightly disappointed by its paella. Maybe my standards are a little skewed since my baseline for paella are ones that I’ve had in Barcelona. I would come back here to give it another try though.
