    House red Rioja
    Anabel M.

    Some of the best food I had in all of Spain was at this restaurant. I'm at a loss for words. From the food to the dining experience, everything was excellent. My friend and I ordered the tuna tartare as an appetizer and wow. The best tuna tartare we've ever had. It was so fresh and paired perfectly with the aioli it came with. As our entree we decided to share a small portion of black squid ink rice with two full portions of pork loin with sweet potatoes. OMG. That rice. It was absolutely amazing!!! I've had black rice in paella before but this was absolutely delicious on another level. This rice was completely black, creamy, almost risotto-like. It tasted fresh and had small pieces of squid. I would have eaten a large portion by myself if I knew just how exquisite the rice was. The pork was cooked perfectly - tender and flavorful. The sweet potatoes completed the dish and added the perfect hint of sweetness. We ordered the house red wine Rioja instead of Ribera Del Duero and enjoyed it so much we each purchased one bottle to bring home! Smooth, slightly fruity and medium-bodied, it went perfectly with our meal. Our server was extremely helpful and the outside seating was spectacular. Absolutely loved every minute of my time here.

    This was hands down my favorite tapas restaurant in Seville. The prices are reasonable considering the high quality tapas they serve. I really enjoyed the tuna tartar with avocados, but all of the other tapas were equally as delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. There's an English menu and the servers speak English, which was a very nice touch.

    Seville is our second stop after Madrid and so far this place has the best tapas and sangria! Get the sardines, shrimp burger, pork cheek, oxtail and pan fried cod. The shrimp burger was so good we had to order a second plate! We also got shots after the dinner, which was on the house. Great service and awesome food equals happy customer.

    This place was fantastic. Just a shame I was already full from a night of eating. We decided to stop here because we saw the menu and there was a few interesting things worth trying. The tuna tartar on a potato purée was ok to delicious depending on if you like tartars. It was declicious but maybe because I was full I couldn't quite enjoy it as much but nonetheless the actual dish itself was perfectly done with a balance of not being too acidic. Next up we had the oxtail on corn which was phenomenal. The meat was so tender and it had the right amount of taste to the accompanying sauce. Lastly was the fried cod over abed of veggies. By far my favourite. Loved the perfectly fried fish. Batter was crispy and the fish retained its meaty moisture and texture. Top it off with the fresh veggies it was a perfect dish. The tartar sauce wasnt overly strong which created a fine balance with the fish Service was excellent - no delays. Price point - 2 drinks, 3 well portioned tapas with side bread and olives for 18 euros was more than worth it if you ask me Would come again. Would try dessert if stomach capacity allowed

    Ribs with potatoes. These were good but not amazing

    The arepita with oxtail or arepita de maíz con cola de toro is one of the best things I've eaten. Super tender oxtail with excellent flavor. If you come here you should definitely order this. They also had excellent sangria

    Delicious Italian - no matter your dietary restrictions!…read more I came here after reading reviews and seeing from the menu that they accommodate dietary restrictions. I have to be gluten-free and dairy-free, but I still had a good meal here! Their menu is available in Spanish or English and they use symbols to denote vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. I'm not sure why it's not marked on the menu, but I'd seen a review that their gnocchi is the gluten-free pasta option, so I asked about it when we got there. If you're gluten-free, mention it and ask about gluten-free gnocchi (not sure if all their gnocchi are gluten-free or if it's different). They have two vegan pasta options and three gnocchis, but they're good so if you have any dietary restrictions I'm sure you'll still enjoy what you have here. What we ordered: -Mediterranean Salad: Spring mix with tomato, raisins, and Gorgonzola (subbed vegan feta - I think they use Violife which is good) with a red pepper vinaigrette. It had an interesting mix of flavors, but I would've preferred the tomatoes to be incorporated into the salad (I think it was more form over function), possibly using a San Marzano tomato sliced in halves would've been better. Pine nuts and or bits of olive could've complemented the flavor too. It was nice to have something fresh to go with the meal. The dressing was light but nice and tangy. It was decently large so we shared it as a side salad for both (large for a side for one). -Gnocchi Gorgonzola: This is what my mom ordered, so it isn't dairy-free, but she enjoyed it! -Gnocchi Pesto Pugliese: I ordered this. It's vegan and gluten-free (I said gluten-free gnocchi, but again, not sure if all the gnocchi is gluten-free or it was different). The gnocchi was doughy but not too mushy and the sauce was light with little bits of crushed almond and pine nuts throughout. Sort of like a sundried tomato pesto. It was good and I was happy to have an option, but it was a bit simple so I added some of the vegan feta from our salad and bits of the complementary olives to it to add more flavor. I think it could have used the extra cheese, larger bits of nut to add more texture, or Italian sausage crumbles (obviously this wouldn't be vegan, but if I were to remake the dish at home). You're just missing something crispy and textured or a richness. If you're dairy-free or vegan and need an option, it's nice to have this. The gnocchis were generous and we each took home half our portion as leftovers. If I didn't have dietary restrictions, we could've shared one along with the salad. They have a good selection of Spanish wines available by glass or bottle. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately. The staff was very nice and it was a nice environment.

We dined in mid day upon arrival in the city. It is just outside the super touristy area (by a block), where you find a nice mix of locals and tourists. With a vast tapas list compared to other places, the variety was perfect. We tried several dishes, but our clear favorite was the Elvis Burger, followed by the spring rolls with shrimp. Honestly everything was delicious. As with many restaurants in Spain, there are two service hour windows, mid day, then again for dinner starting around 8pm. In between, you can order drinks, but no food. Give this place some love if you're in town. Both indoor and outdoor dining available. Service was fantastic.

We ordered five tapas dishes to share between us. Everything was served rather quickly after ordering. The dishes we tried were: patatas bravas, pork tenderloin, shrimp tacos in a lettuce wrap, another pork dish with mashed potato and quinoa, and salmorejo. While everything we had was absolutely delicious, the salmorejo (an Andalucian chilled soup specialty) and the two pork dishes were standouts. Service was friendly and efficient.

I was there in October, 2025 on the recommendation of a friend who once lived in Sevilla and knew exactly where to tell us to go. The food is exquisite. Mai is a supremely gracious host. I'm sure that everywhere in Sevilla the flamenco is excellent, but La Madriguera de Mai is more than simply sitting in a theater atmosphere. You feel as close as possible to the real experience of seeing flamenco performed in a home. The three performers I saw, cantaor Armando Mateos, tocaor Diego Reyes, and bailaora Carmen Torres, fit so perfectly together I felt like I was in a dream, flooded with the deepest emotion. They performed as if we were not even there, purely for the passion of it. Armando's voice and gentle handclaps were like the rhythm of pulsing blood on the air; when Diego rests his head against his guitar you feel his heart spill into the room; Carmen dances commandingly with a face that seems to fully understand the distance into the past that this tradition reaches. I was thoroughly overcome that night, a very particular night, and this one evening of many in Spain was the absolute highlight. If you are in Sevilla for just one day you must go to La Madriguera de Mai. ¡Ole!

She seemed to be only one of 2 waiters there and there were also a few tables full outside. But we were the only customers inside. So we initially overlooked her behavior as being busy. No big deal. Then the food came out and one dish after another that was a salad or came with a salad was brown. Half the salad was brown and wilted. But, we could not get her attention as we were in the back room. And when another table filled up back there she was in such a rush that we could not flag her down to tell her about the wilted salad. So we ate around the brown salads. And when we were able to get her attention we told her that the lettuce and salad were not fresh. She took a micro second to look at it as she was running out the room and repeated "La lechuga no es fresca?" While she was running out the room. And never came back to inquire if we wanted another salad or a replacement. That was it. You take it or leave it apparently. I must say there were some really good dishes that we ordered. The ox tail and pig trotters were soft and well seasoned. But the grilled Iberian pork and grilled chicken had ZERO seasoning. Just plain and rubbery. Maybe that's the way it is. Maybe not. But there was zero taste. However we were able to salvage most of the plates by dunking the meat pieces in the pork trotter sauce. And we were all hungry and just wanted to be done and out of there. We left 75% of our salad and various lettuce from other plates, as we picked our way through the brown stuff, in order to not waste more food than needed. We also hoped somebody back in the kitchen would realize that most of the greens had not been touched. But there was no word by the end of dinner and we quickly paid and left. We passed the waitress on the way out and there was not a single word out of her mouth. We even had to pay at the bar and that guy also did not say a single word. I have been an Elite Yelper for 7 years and I have only written 2 other reviews of less than 4 stars. I don't want to hurt anybody's business. I figure a bad restaurant will eventually put itself out of business. But, this is the third time in my life that I'm writing up a less than 4 star review. Bc they deserve it. The 1 star is for the wonderful decor and 1/3 of the dishes that were very good. It really is a pity. We were expecting so much more from the experience-our last meal together in Spain before going home tomorrow. Unfortunately, 2 out of 7 of us had to go hungry (they didn't touch their food and the rest of us had to eat half their plates for them) and go elsewhere for food afterwards. Really a shame. We're staying just down the street from it and were looking forward to staying at the bar and drinking afterwards. The poor service and food made us run out of there.

    Terrible service, terrible microwaved food, nice ambience. We really wanted to enjoy this…read morerestaurant as we were staying very close to it. But it turned out to be such a disappointment. The waitress treated us like we were bothering her, from the time she took our order. All the greens were half brown. All the food was like warm. The "grilled" meats were clearly microwaved and barely warm. But we couldn't get her attention and we were all very hungry so we managed to eat most of it, but left all the greens and salads. When we finally managed to get her attention she merely glanced at the greens and huffed as if offended, clearly irritated but made no attempt to remedy the situation. Such a disappointment. We probably would've left it alone if it was just bad food. But the bad service really pushed it over the edge. You have no right to treat customers in such a manner, especially when your food sucks. Clearly a tourist trap. They don't have to cater to any repeat customers. Only customers who visit once in a lifetime. And there's a sucker aka new tourist every minute. You have been forewarned.
