    Chicharones
    Danish B.

    After coming home from my trip, it's become my personal mission in life to figure out how this place does their chicharrones. They are special here, so throw your idea of what they are supposed to taste like, based on past experiences, out of the window. As a matter of fact, just resign yourself to enjoying some of the best cured meats you've ever eaten in your existence. Of course, should you make it past the charcuterie in this place, there are many local dishes that are absolutely fantastic. A word to the wise: come early. There are few tables and not much room at the bar. When people arrive, they don't move quickly.

    These are probably the best tapas I've had in my entire life. The actual place is very small, but even if you stand around the bar they are very quick to serve you. I don't even know where to start on all of the things I tried, from shrimp, to lots of ham, and and cheese. And the prices are even better. I kid you not, we were a group of 16 people, we must've had 40-50 beer in total and I don't even remember how many appetizers, and the total was around 200 euros. I love this place!

    Authentic local tapas! Very much a place to have a beach snack of jamon and cheese. Enjoyed the sardines and stuffed peppers too. Avoid artichokes they are only canned versus the fresh ones you get everywhere else.

    Great service, some food not available. Food okay, nothing special. No tapas, only half portions.

    Excellent tapas. Tried about 4 between 2 of us and waddled out. So good maybe we'll go there again tonight.

    Great local spot. Excellent tapas, beer, and wine. It's really a bar so be prepared to stand.

    Oooof! The highlight of our time in Cadiz! We would have spent all afternoon here enjoying the food…read moreand wine if we didn't have to rush out to catch our ship. They have the most delicious seafood soup that you'll ever try, and their squid-ink rice is on another level. It was a lot of us, so we tried a little bit of everything and I can honestly say that every item was delectable. You can't go wrong. Will definitely visit next time we find ourselves in that neck of the woods!

    We came here twice during our recent visit to Cádiz... first at the suggestion of our Air BnB host,…read moreand second, because the first time was JUST SO GOOD! I agree with several of the other reviewers that getting tapas at the bar is the way to go here - and even if you want a full-blown meal, getting it at the bar will save considerable Euros from your bill, and service is a lot quicker. That said, this place is VERY popular among the locals, and so you may have to wait awhile if you go during the lunch rush-hour of 2 - 3 pm. We'd been told that this place is known for its tuna dishes, and in all honesty, that's a good thing to be known for in this end of Spain. They do it proud! They use sushi-grade tuna and will serve it as rare as you like (Tuna Tartare) to fully cooked. IMHO, their tuna is better on the rare side. The other meals we had there (my wife's favorite goat-cheese salad, and a lasagna de ternera) were also quite good, but - when a restaurant in tuna country is known for its tuna, order the tuna! Buen provecho!

The "cooks", if you can call them that, had at least two microwaves going at all times. It's no wonder the food is a disappointment. I was so sad as it was our only night in Cádiz and what a waste of a dinner it was. When we arrived, there was a few people waiting in line and the restaurant was full and seemed very inviting. I was convinced that we should stay and the wait didn't take long! Once seated, we were served bread and our drinks. The bartenders were great. We ordered 5 tapas dishes and they arrived extremely quickly. First the cuttlefish (which was tasty), and then the Bao bun (overpriced but my husband liked it). Our next three dishes arrived together: fried cheese which was served with whipped cream from a can (weird), salted cod (cold and a terrible representation of a local staple), and the tuna lasagna (also very weird). Due to how fast everything came out, I started noticing the sound of the microwaves dinging and I could see one of them open and close over and over. As soon as a dish came out, another went it. No surprise they can turn over so many guests. Just an embarrassment.
