Across the car-park from the old fish market of Isla Cristina, is Bar Abuelo Mañas. You would be…read morehard pressed to find a more typical bar serving Andalucian seafood with locally produced sherries and wines and complimentary olives. We ordered cold grilled shrimp, which the waiter said are always more fresh and a better all around option than fried shrimp. Lightly salted and very tasty. Then came the clams in Olive Oil - very tasty. The server seemed a little untrustworthy as he kept encouraging us to buy more food because it was supposedly cheaper (?...). He also suggested for our purse to be taken off the table and put on the chair adjacent to us even though there was plenty of space on the table to accommodate it as well as what we had ordered. We said we wanted to keep our stuff in eyes view because of thieves. He rebutted by saying that thieves don't operate in the area (?...). In the end, we kept our belongings on the table and had a great experience.

CLOSED MONDAYS…read more Indoor / outdoor dining, as with most Spanish tapas bars. Located adjacent to the Plaza del Punto in Huelva. We were in Huelva on a Sunday evening, and many other restaurants were closed, or serving very limited menus, so we were lucky and grateful to find Los Tientos. Our server was extremely friendly, and answered all our questions, and gave us recommendations from the menu. They had specials too, but this time we stuck with the standard offerings. 4 tapas were under 25€, which was a very good value for their quality. All of the food was prepared with beautiful presentation. The cheese round with carmelized onions, orange marmalade, and raspberry with raisins, was extremely good. The server confirmed it was goat cheese (not specified on the menu). The cheese round was crispy but soft, not dried out. The eggplant sticks were the one disappointing dish. We had had eggplant-based tapas at a number of restaurants in Spain, and it was always very flavorful and well-executed. These battered, fried, sticks of eggplant were pretty flavorless, and while the honey and balsamic sauces helped, they were only just to mask the fact that the meat of the dish itself was extremely bland and unappetizing. Very let down by this one. My husband had the Hake gratin with garlic mayo and tomato marmelade. He was surprised at how the mild whitefish taste allowed the herbs to give it so much flavor. He said it was cooked very nicely, with a tender but flakey texture. My absolute favorite was the Salmorejo, a tomato soup exploding with flavor. The tomato, of course, had a very robust, perfect flavor, mixed with a lot of herb emphasis, and just made a delicious soup. I could have ordered two more servings, and I am craving it now as I write this, it was just that good! Even the egg garnish added to the overall taste. Overall, it was a very good meal, and we were pleased with stumbling upon this place in Huelva, on our way to Portugal. * * * TIP * * * Note that they prefer cash, but were able to take our credit card when they saw we wanted to tip. ;-) * * * TIP * * * They charge for bread on the table.

We were delightfully surprised at the amazing and charming service from the waitress, and other staff. It's a simple restaurant with an espresso bar as well and outside tables. The secret here is simple, home made style of food, decent portion size and very low pricing. And it works very well. For starters we had fried cuttle fish which was lightly battered and hit the mark. This was followed by grilled tuna seasoned perfectly with garlic and olive oil, with some fries as the side. The tuna was cooked just the right amount so as to still be tender and flaky. Finally we tried the house paella with tomato base and seasonings with calamari, baby clams, and shrimps. It was spectacular. Like I said, you never know what to expect, and this time it was really nice.
