We ordered the croquettes and burrata. The croquettes were nicely crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The burrata was fresh and came with tomato, olives, and some arugula. For the main dishes we both had steak. I went with the sirloin and my friend went with the skirt steak. Both were cooked perfectly and tender. The servers spoke English which greatly helped with the wonderful experience we had for dinner. The meal was decently priced.

Meat heaven. This…read moretiny, tiny restaurant packs in the locals. As I sat down, another guy who worked nearby grabbed a seat at the next table and declared that this was some of the best steak in Barcelona. He even said he'd buy meat raw from this place and take it home to cook it. Hell of a recommendation. I ordered the solomillo (sirloin) "poco hecho," which I guess is supposed to be medium rare. The steak was more raw than that, but I didn't care. It was tender and juicy and flavorful. The salt on my platter provided a little extra punch whenever I needed it. The steak came with half a potato, but, unaware of that, I also ordered patatas bravas. Really not the best patatas bravas I've had in Spain, but it's easy to forgive that. The local I spoke to said he recommended the lomo alto, so I'll try that next time. If you want a killer high-quality steak prepared with love, you can get it at La Tavernícola. And as a bonus, it came out quite fast. I'll be back.

Not a particularly large dining area so reservations may be necessary. Simply decorated The serve was friendly and at least one spoke English well. We ordered meat empanadas to start and then grilled platters for the main course. Excellent empanadas, could make a whole meal of those. Everything was grilled perfectly. The sausages and chicken were the best. The cuts of meat were not particularly tender and the grilling toughened them. There is a good selection of wine available and the Malbec was a good choice.

We were served by a friendly couple, Argentinian transplants both, who chatted with us about jazz and idioms. I felt bad for the woman who brought us our empanadas, because she dropped the tray on the way to the table and exactly HALF of each of the three empanadas we ordered fell on the floor, so she had to bring us three new ones in addition to the halves we got to eat. (I did offer to eat the ones that fell, because hey, I do that in my house, but she just gave me a disgusted look.) My favorite empanadas were the espinaca (spinach, goat cheese, and nut) and the atun (tuna, onion, bechamel). They really stood out for the flakiness and lightness of their pastry crust.

For the main, one of us got a bife which came with fries and the rest of the 3 of us shared the parilla for 2 and it was plenty of meat! It came with a great variety of cuts and 3 sides, French fries, baked potato and salad so it was plenty!! And then to wrap it up, we get the Dulce de leche flan for dessert and it was also delicious. An amazing restaurant with great quality food and great wait staff! Would love to go again the next time we are in Barcelona.

They have a huge selection of empanadas, including lots of vegetarian options (one of the best vegetarian flavors? Pumpkin and Mozzarella!) I also recommend the Chicken and Herb. They also have great dessert empanadas, like the Apple Cinnamon (basically a handheld apple pie). The empanadas are really cheap, I think around 1.70 Euros each. The only downside is they are cold in the case and heated after you buy them, and often they were still cold in the middle after being heated. That's the only reason they don't get five stars. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the Gracia neighborhood and looking for a quick bite. They're open late, so check them out!

Came here with 3 others on a lazy Saturday evening for an early dinner. We had a dog with us and the guy invited us right in! There isn't a terrace or back patio, not sure if they always allow dogs or just because they weren't too busy. Our group was ready to eat but unfortunately the kitchen wasn't open for another hour. After speaking with our server (who also seemed like he could be the owner or manager), he said we could order some things for a pica pica (small bites to share) while the kitchen was opening. I've worked in the food industry and this was very kind of them to accommodate us, especially since we were so early. So we started off with a round of housemade Vermouths (vermuts), nachos with guac, and fries with cheese sauce and bacon. Holy guacamole- YUM!! Guac hit the spot, the nachos really were just tortilla chips, the bacon cheese fries were addicting! I've never had a better cheese sauce, usually I strongly dislike them but this one was perfectly balanced in flavor. Oh I'm dreaming about those cheese fries and crispy bacon! Okay, maybe they were so amazing because of our hunger from beaching all day, but still they were tasty. I would say those two appetizers split amongst four people were perfectly portioned. Also we all agreed that their Vermuts were the best we've had in Barcelona. Not too sweet, flavored nicely and garnished with orange and olive. They were 2 or 2.50 each. For our main meals we ordered two portions of the "Parillada para dos personas". This was a board of assorted grilled Argentinian meats including 3 types of steaks and 2 types of sausages. It also came with fries which were seasoned perfectly with some sort of spice/herb blend. The meat board was accompanied by two sauces: a garlic aioli and a chimichurri. SO, so good!!! The meat was cooked a juicy medium to medium rare, very distinct flavors but all so delicious! There was plenty of food. I think the price was about 24 or 26 euros per meat board. I suppose you could split the parillada among three people but it splits really nicely for two. Our waiter was awesome! I would not describe him as friendly at all, but he took care of us and made us feel welcome. I would return in a heartbeat. -- Update-- This place is still awesome. Great service, you can tell the staff actually care about the place and watch out for little details. Bacon cheese fries are still a must. Their other drinks are delicious! Caipirinhas, daiquiris, etc.

OMG BEST FOOD IN BARCELONA!!!!…read more I came here for my last meal while visiting Barcelona and I was so happy we did. We were a little tired of eating tapas so we decided to have a nice steak dinner. Even though there were only 2 reviews on Yelp for this place, Trip Advisor had a ton so we made a reservation online of the restaurants website. The food was absolutely amazing! I started off with a glass of the house wine and my fiancé had a tap beer. The wine came in a huge glass and the pour was so generous! Definitely would be considered two glasses of wine in NYC! They also gave us complimentary olives. Yum! For our dinner we shared the steak and 2 different kind of potatoes which were both delicious. My favorite part about the steak was the chimichurri seasoning on the steak. It was the best thing I have ever tasted. I even had to ask the owner/chef what it was! We also shared the grilled vegetables and they were out of this world as well. We finished everything but the portion size was great. I was so happy we found this little gem in Barcelona and if I go back to Barcelona I would 100% go back to eat there!
