We were lucky to find this place which was a few minutes from our hotel. On the website, it said…read more"online reservation made before 8 pm gets 30% off." So we went! We were led to the dining room upstairs. The menu has English descriptions beneath each dish. We ordered 10 dishes: Pan Con Tomate (bread with tomato and tomato sauce), Patatas Bravas (Spanish potatoes; not greasy, very tasty), Albondigas de la Yaya (meatballs with tomato sauce; very tender meat), Calamares a la Andaluza (fried squid; nicely cooked and not rubbery, like them alot), Bastoncitos de Pollo (homemade chicken nuggets with BB sauce; crispy and tender, tasty BB sauce), Empanada Compesina (not too crazy about this one), Empanada Picante (spicy meat; it is okay), Spaghetti Carbonara (very soft, lots of sauce; nice dish), Yakimeshi (rice with squid and shrimp; my favorite!), and Macareno (hamburger, doble cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and fried egg; very juicy, mouth watering and very American hamburger!) Water is a very pricey item in Europe. We ordered three bottles of water at 2.30 EUR or 2.60 USD each. We did get 30% off our bill! The server was friendly, patient, polite, and very warm. The dishes were reasonably priced. We had a wonderful dining experience at this place. Highly recommended if you visit the area.

Rib meat bao: Another taco style bao with really tasty rib meat filling. A bit sweet, but worth it. Both baos are 2 pieces. Caesar salad w/ chicken: Imagine a Caesar salad where the dressing was not creamy, but more of a vinaigrette. This was excellent!

The tapas are homemade and although the…read moreservice can get slow depending on the time of day (it can get pretty busy and I believe it's family run), its worth the visit. The coolest part of this pub is the adjoining wine store to its left. It sells wine directly from barrels for takeaway, and the pub's self produced bottles of wine. Great for an afternoon drink after the beach.

We went a little crazy and ordered a LOT of food...but loved everything we ordered (with the exception of the fried calamari--came out cold :( ) and ate everything! The house red wine I ordered went well with all the dishes we ordered. Our server was attentive and informative. We met the very hospitable owner and experienced the cuisine of a very creative and talented chef. It was a stumble-upon, let's-give-it-a-shot restaurant that I would recommend to anyone staying near the Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona. Though we had one dish that was not perfect, the chef and the owner made up for it with a very delectable croquetas de pollo(?). For that 5 STARS, BABY!

I wanted to try a place like this on my trip to Spain. I picked Lizarran because of the great…read morereviews and the proximity to my hotel. This place is a decent option for a quick pinxto fix. You take a plate and help yourself from the counter. At the end of the meal they calculate your total based off the toothpicks. There were lots of delicious cheese pinxtos. The goat cheese one had soooo much cheese, it was amazing. Octopus was a little disappointing because it was chewy (maybe overcooked or just because it was sitting out) and the potatoes didn't seem to be cooked all the way. This is a fast snack option to get you back to scheduled plans. I wouldnt go out of my way to come here.

Three years ago I went to La Cholita and wrote review about them on Trip Advisor:…read more "I was visiting by myself and saw over 40 positive reviews (on Trip Advisor:) and NO negative reviews and thought I would try them. The food was not only terrific... in fact one of the best meals I have had in months but the staff was so wonderful with the fact that I don't speak any Spanish. They are friendly and that combined with great food make this a go to place. I have only 2 regrets... 1) I can only give them 5 stars when they deserve more 2) They do not have a place near me. Go there... you will not regret it !!!!!!" I went back to Barcelona last week with my girlfriend and revisited La Cholita. They now have 574 reviews ... 77% Excellent ... 18% Very Good... that adds up to 95%... WOW They are now rated 158 of 10,467 of places to eat in Barcelona... WOW The food was as wonderful as I had remembered... the service was as wonderful as I had remembered... yet again 5 stars ARE NOT ENOUGH... I say again "Go there... you will not regret it !!!!!!"

Not your standard tapas bar, the food is a gastronomic delight. You can taste the freshness of the produce and the love put into creating the beautifully presented dishes. Every we had was amazing. My top 3 would be the blue fin tuna sashimi, the 'Black & White' burger and the tempura calamari. Front of house staff are friendly in a genuine way. If you don't know the local tongue, fear not, these fellas have good English and they are very knowledgeable of their menu -- both food and wine -- and will happily go through it with you. There's limited seating and they don't take bookings so be prepared to wait, trust me, it's worth it. Would come again for sure. Maybe tomorrow?
