For tapas, we ordered roasted pablano peppers, bacon-wrapped dates, the fried potatoes with spicy sauce, mussels in a spicy tomato sauce, and fried calamari with garlic aioli. I also ordered the jamon iberico because I was curious to try it. Peppers: Good. Could use a tad more salt. Bacon-wrapped dates: YUM. Fried potatoes: they were good, but I've had better. Mussels: Do not recommend. They were rubbery tasting, and the sauce didn't pair that well. Fried Calamari: Very good. Jamon Iberico: So good, I ordered a second plate and went home feeling a tad...gluttonous... So yep, all in all, I'd recommend this place. Service was friendly, if a bit accident prone that evening (glassware crashed to the floor twice in the two hours we were there). I'd go back!

Menu is not huge, but what they make, they make well. You get a plate of Gambas, meatballs, calimaris, etc for around EUR8 served with white bread. They have Bitburger for beer drinkers and a decent lineup of Spanish Reds that aren't awfully expensive. I've heard they have a white sangria wich is supposed to be quite good although I've not tried it. Service is relaxed and super friendly in a Spanish kind of way. I give it four stars not because it's haute cuisine, but because it's got good food reasonably priced and has a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

While visiting Kleinmarkethalle, we needed to eat lunch, so we stopped at Arkade Tapas…read more They had a dedicated seating space for larger groups as well as a number of 2-top tables around the food making area. We reviewed the menus that were on our table. Shortly, a server came by and we ordered a 4 + 4 tapas meal. It comes with 4 cold dishes and 4 hot dishes. About 10 minutes later, the cold tapas came out. It had Feta Cheese, some sort of Flaked Fish dish, Green Olives and Marinated Artichokes. I enjoyed all 4 of the cold tapas. My wife isn't a fan of olives or artichokes, so I ate all of those. The hot tapas came out about 20 minutes after the cold. It had 2 Chicken Wing parts (1 full wing), Bacon Wrapped Fig, Fried Potatoes and one other dish that I'm unsure of. It was sort of like a Potato cake maybe. We both enjoyed 3 of the 4 hot tapas dishes. The yellow cake thing, while not offensive, was rather flavorless. Happy we tried out Arkade Tapas. The service was good, the price was right and the food was decent.

So we walked away and tried to find something else to eat, but was not really interested in anything else. So we walked back and this time, the owner, was there and he sat us. This place really needs to hire another person because they would have lost a customer if we didn't walk back. We ordered the Fried Squid, Dates Wrapped Bacon, Jamon Pata Negra, Picked Artichokes & Paella. With a sangria and coke, the total came out to about 57 euros. We were too full to finish everything as his servings are a little generous than a normal tapas place would be. I thought the food was just ok. Nothing about this place would make me want to come back. The paella was not good at all. The Jamon pata negra was dry and does not look anything like the pictures on Yelp. There are some good items, but overall, I thought the food was just ok.
