    Probably some of the best food I've ever eaten in Spain, as far as "homestyle" restaurants go. We…read morecame here after an afternoon of strolling Park Guell and were welcomed by the daughter of the owner, who was super friendly and concerned that we ate well there. This place has been in business for 24 years and for good reason: a 20-Euro lunch menu including crusty toasted bread with tomato and olive oil, tortilla espanola, cogollos de endivia (endive w/ sauteed garlic and raisins), little artisanal hot links on top of toast rounds (spicy!), croquettes, succulent roast lamb w/ poblano peppers, gambas con bacalao, and then dessert...plus Basque cider and agua con gas? Una ganga! I nearly teared up during my meal it was so good. The server treated us to an anise liqueur called "pacharan" at the end of lunch, and we ended up getting a bottle (9 euros) to go. What a find. Do not hesitate to come here. Normally only open for dinner, but we were here on Easter Sunday and I could not have asked for a better experience. .... Para chuparse los dedos! Comida excelente con una moza encantadora y simpatica. Uau.

    Came through an open door at 4:00 PM. Proprietor stated they were closed for the afternoon but that…read moretheir leftover tapas went for €1.50 each. We happily complied and were served tap beer and "Vermut de la muelte", or iced vermouth with bitters and shredded dried orange peel. We dined on boquerones en vinagre, sardines, marinated olives, skewers of peppers, olives and sardines, and sandwiches of omelet and imitation crab, eggplant, and salmon and tuna salads. We would've eaten more but knew we had to head over to Park Güell and get in before the sun set. Before we left, the proprietor poured a double shot of whiskey into a glass, lit it on fire, and put it under his coffee machine as it dispensed two shots of espresso. It was for him. He was very nice to talk to.

    Cool little place for tapas. We had the La Pepita which was steak with bashed potatoes, deep fried…read moreeggplant, calamari with Kim chi sauce, pan con tomato, and a much needed green salad! Service was excellent even though they were super busy even at opening time at 1:00p. Reservations highly recommended!

    Wandering around Gràcia in late August can be a bit of an adventure -- so many local spots close…read morefor holiday that finding a place that's actually open becomes its own challenge. After discovering that our first three choices were all shuttered, we ended up at La Pepita by default. Thankfully, it turned out to be a great find. We stopped in late in the afternoon, when the pace was relaxed but the energy still lively. The space had a fun, casual vibe -- the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. We ordered a few snacks and drinks, all of which hit the spot. Everything was flavorful, nicely presented, and perfect for sharing. Even though it wasn't quite the dinner rush, there was a steady flow of people, which tells me it's a popular spot year-round, not just a backup when others are closed. Overall, La Pepita was a happy surprise on an August afternoon -- great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and the kind of easygoing charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Would absolutely go back. 4.5 Stars
