Pringa
Bridget D.

We came here because my husband saw someone on YouTube recommended & because it's on YouTube it must be true, right? We waited half an hour for a table at 3 in the afternoon (didn't know they close at 4:30 before reopening for dinner). Food was so so so bad. Service was mediocre. They have a "famous" pringa which is a small sandwich with about 2 spoons of stewed pork - picture below cut in half. Also had a shrimp something that had no shrimp but tasted of bacalao. I love fried food but this was just gross. There were a couple other tapas that I also refused to eat. $50 euros and left hungry. It's not even charming ambiance. You'd have better luck trying places on the Calle San Jacinto.

Seat at the bar facing sherry casks and their Iberico Jamon.

Great atmosphere, crowded all day long. Very clean and the staff is professional. Didn't try any food as we are stuffed from other places. Come check it out, neighborhood vibe from all the clien

Montadito de Pringá
Vivian C.

Came here to try the Montadito de Pringá or stewed pork sandwich for which this restaurant is famous for. On menu it is listed as "la autentica Pringá." Didn't disappoint. Meat was tender and tasty, bread was warm and crunchy. Didn't want to eat too much for lunch on a busy sightseeing day so the tapas version (we ordered 4) was the perfect size. Would advise to come early or ?make reservations (not sure if they accept) as this place is tiny and fills up fast. We arrived just a few minutes prior to opening lunch time 1pm and the place filled within 10 minutes.

Spinach and gorgonzola
Jenny O.

This is a great local tapas bar, close to the bullfighting ring with good vibes. We ordered the slow braised pork cheek, asparagus, spinach, cuttlefish meatballs, and cod croquettes. The slow braised pork cheek was excellent - you can definitely taste the slow braise. It was so succulent, juicy and packed with umami flavor. The spinach was hearty and warm, it tasted almost like a spinach stew and was excellent. Unfortunately, I thought the other dishes did not taste like anything and were too soft in texture... almost like baby food. Tip on the beer: if you order one, you'll get about 1/4 of a pint unless you specify for a large (which is still about 3/4 of a pint).

Menudo de ternera
Tony T.

Came for dinner and tried a lot of things on the menu. One tip - come early to score a table. We were there a few minutes before the restaurant opened and there was a line already. Scored an outside table and proceeded to start ordering. Must haves - montadito pringa, carrilada iberico and bacalao a la plancha. All 3 items were great. Also tried the tortillata camarones, boquerones, and revuelto de bacalao which were all very good. I particularly liked the scrambled eggs mixed together with the salt cod. A dish that is more unique is the menudo de ternera (tripe stew) which was very good but also an acquired taste. The esparrgos was OK. Would definitely come back and eat here again. Great place to eat tapas in Seville.

Marinated potatoes (served cold)
Gabrielle N.

We arrived in Seville after a 4.5 hr drive and needed to indulge in a late lunch. Bodeguita Romero was steps away from the room we rented and there was a table outside calling our name. The waiter didn't speak much English (if any) but between my broken Spanish, and his ability to provide great service, we made it work! We very much enjoyed all of our waiter's recommendations; everything was delicious. We'll probably be stopping in again tomorrow to have another of the lightly battered salted cod and to try a couple more items. I could have eaten 10 of those delicious fish dishes. I must add the prices are fair! Amazing service and amazing food. Highly recommend! Be cautioned they close for a few hours in the late afternoon/early evening so plan accordingly.

Spinach with chickpeas and tortilla espanya/ bravas
Preetha A.

Excellent tapas bar in seville. There seem to be a few with rather similar names, but this one has some amazing food. We went here for dinner around 9:30 and sat at the bar. Drinks: Manzanilla sherry- quite dry. Not quite my thing. Vino tinto de verano- nice. But all the ones in seville have a slight rancid taste. Vino blanco- asked for a medium to sweet. This was great. All drinks were recommended by one of the guys behind the bar. What we ate: ordered everything in tapas sizes. Chickpeas and spinach(v)- excellent. Perfect for vegetarians. Had a touch of cumin. Tortilla espanya(v, eggs)- this was nicely done and very filling. Grilled cut of bacalou- amazingly tender fish. Saw lots of locals getting this and just pointed and asked got the same. Pork cheek- amazing. Probably the best dish here. Very tender and amazing flavors . Would go back for this.

Pringa montadito was ok
Isabel L.

Seville was our last stop of our Spain Trip so we were pretty tired of eating tapas however this place was highly recommended by our airbnb host so we stopped by. We really wanted to try the oxtail and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful and moist, tender, amazing! However we did come back on another day late at night and they were sold out :( And we had another friend come back on a weekend around 3pm and it was also sold out. We also tried the famous stewed pork cheek (their most popular dish) and it was also super yummy! I would recommend as well. The pringa montadito was okay. It tasted like a pulled pork sandwich without the sauce but our friend really liked it! Everything here was reasonably priced. Definitely a good spot to hit up in Seville!

Beef cheeks and spinach with chick peas
David L.

Wonderful little bar with fantastic food. Insanely busy during high time, so expect to wait and have to fight your way to a bar seat or a coveted table. They are known for their pringa sandwich which doesn't disappoint. You can probably end up pounding 3 or 4 of these, but you'll want to try the other dishes they have. The braised beef cheeks and spinach with garbonzo were particularly tasty. Locals definitely flock to here, so it's super crowded, but it's worth the work!

Jalapeño fried cod
Lily C.

This is a wonderful and intimate restaurant that gets filled up 10min after open. We found it on Yelp based on good reviews for serving delicious, authentic food. The reviews were spot on. We arrived 10min before open at 20:00 (typical for Spanish restaurants) and grabbed a table, soon all the tables filled out with people standing next to bar to wait for tables. Some were tourists as it's close to sights, but many patrons are locals! We ordered a variety of tapas - Iberian ham, potato and sausages, stewed spinach, fried jalapeños cod, chick peas with spinach, and braised pork. Oh, the pork was heavenly, bursting with flavor in the mouth. We also liked the cod a lot. It was fresh, tender, with just a hint of jalapeños. My son loved the potato with sausages. the portions were generous, we had to work hard to finish all the food. Staff was very friendly too, fast service.

Squid meatballs and very tender, delicious pork cheek (3 euro each June 2017)
Alisa Z.

My sister and I stopped by for some tapas and drinks at the bar. It was packed with locals which is always a good sign. We shared 3 tapas (about 3 euro each): squid meatballs, rabo de toro (bull tail), and the pork cheeks. All 3 were pretty large and delicious, the bull tail was falling of the bones, the pork cheeks were incredibly tender as well. Definitely recommend this place!

The pringa was served fresh and hot! It was delightful. The place got packed easily. Come 10-15 mins early to get a good spot at the bar. The locals seem to love this place as well

Knowing we were going to eat a lot during a food tour, we settled on some small tapas (ham, cheese, bread, and olives) and got some sangria and a beer.

I came here due to a yelp recommendation because like most westerners unaccustomed to the Spanish way of living I was hungry at about 7 pm and needed something to eat. Yay yelp to the rescue. The place was crowded and there were no seats available when I arrived. There were many small groups congregated around tables and a few couples as well. It isn't obvious how to proceed once you come in the door so I probably stood there awkwardly for a few minutes near the door before making my way to the bar to what looked to be a vacant seat. A gentleman informed me that it belonged to his girlfriend so I was forced to now stand awkwardly next to the bar. Bar tender to the rescue explaining that if I waited he was pretty sure someone would leave soon and I could order a drink while I waited. I ordered a sangria and also inquired about food but was told that I need to have an actual seat in order to order food. After nursing my drink for about 20 mins when I was about to pay and head out to find somewhere else to eat, a spot finally opened up and I was treated to the most delicious steak and potatoes and zucchini tapas. This had to be one of the most delicious things I have eaten on this vacation. When I finally vacated my seat to save a pair of new arrivals, there was a line outside of people waiting for the opportunity to eat here. I might chance it again before I leave Seville. I highly recommend for the food and friendly waiters but wish there was a way to turn seats over more quickly. One guy kept insisting he was saving his girlfriend's seat but in the 90 mins I spent there she never showed up. Who knows if she ever existed. Bread comes free with your tapas order and really complimented the meal.

The best food I had in all of Seville.. stopped by this place for late dinner during my recent trip…read moreto Seville and this place did not disappoint. We ordered their roasted lamb with cous cous, garlic shrimp croquetta (that was the croquetta of the day), pork cheek stew with potato purée and the chocolate panna cotta for dessert. We also ordered their sangria and tinto de verano. Every dish we ordered was AMAZING - tasty flavorful well seasoned melt in your mouth meat bursting with flavors. We devoured every bite and it was hard to pick a favorite. Both the lamb and pork dishes were 11/10. Not just the taste but the presentation of every tapa was fantastic. Their drinks were also great. The dessert was to die for. This place is super packed during peak dinner hours and there is barely any room to stand. Since we walked in around 11pm, we got a seat and were well taken care of all thru the night. Also noticed alot of veggie options on the menu which was great. Service was awesome ambience is chic. I am certain I am going to crave their tapas once I am back home. Highly highly recommend this place when in Seville.

Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.

The layout can be a bit confusing, as the restaurant seems to have three dining rooms with separate entrances but only one kitchen. Where we sat was charming, with stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. We started with the foie appetizer, which was a delightful surprise for my palate. It was a unique combination of foie, cream cheese, and what I believe was pear. It was unusual, but I ended up really enjoying it. The zucchini noodles with pesto and burrata were also very enjoyable. However, the star of our dinner was the 40 day dry aged ribeye, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, and absolutely delicious.

Great texture and flavor. 9/10 The croquettes were good, I didn't like the mayo on top. 8/10 The dessert that was essentially a bread pudding was absolutely delicious.i barely tried the orange dessert but it tasted like a Pillsbury orange cinnamon roll.
