The main meal was a Chorizo steak which was cooked to perfection and complemented nicely with a cheesy rice, like risotto but not quite. All very flavorful and I again washed it down with another Estrella chopp.

We were fortunate we arrived before the evening rush otherwise we would be waiting. Menus were in portuguese but the translation app did the job. No issue ordering several rounds of tapas and the staff adds or clears the plates promptly. The bar itself has the appearance of cellar bar from Spain, lots of wood. Very relaxed seating for any size group.

Drink is the Macuinama, which tastes like an alcoholic tea but I like it! I had the Vila Olimpia burger and it was delicious. Hard to eat with all the toppings, maybe not a great idea to eat on a first date lol. The lemon risotto was delicious as well.

I would suggest sharing it but keep in mind that there are only 3 shrimps. The waiter was very kind and willing to help. The hostess, Agatha, was also amazing.

The food here tastes like something you might find in Madrid. The ambiance is interesting; they're apparently trying to create a household environment in each corner of this small saloon that holds fifteen tables. The service here is wonderful!

I have mixed feelings about Maripili, this place is tiny, like other people have mentioned, tables…read moreare tiny as well, so don't rush up and order everything at once because it will just not fit on your table. Price is reasonable but there were many technical errors when we came in to dine. What we'd ordered: Jamón Iberico - 18 months cure Decent quality jamón but slicing was off, instead of delicate shavings, we got some jamón chunks, some a bit chewy. Sobrasada - spicy red bell peppers patê Good but wouldn't order it again. Duelos y Quebrantos - jamón, bacon, chorizo, eggs Very good, this is what my dream of a sloppy breakfast is. Filled with my favourite parts of pork, scrambled eggs, but not overly greasy. Gambas al Ajillo - sautéed shrimp with garlic and spices TERRIBLE! Shrimp were tiny and not devained, so it was a bit sandy and there were no season to it. Just awful. Jamón com Melon - jamón with melon Very good! Took me to memory lane during Christmas times, spending with family, relatives, having good laughs, people having a great time. Melon was sweet and the counter balance of the jamón saltiness just enhances overall taste and experience of eating melon. Esgarret - red bell peppers, salted cod, EVOO, garlic TERRIBLE#2! Red bell peppers were tender and full of flavour, on the other hand, it was filled with a bunch of raw garlic chunks that had the same color as the cod! Not only they were pungent, it stole and killed my taste buds! Some other cons, the parking situation sucks and service is slow as molasses! But overall, I would come back to try other tapas, drink some wine as they have wine from all over Europe and ZA. I just have to remember to ask them not to use too much garlic, since it's raw it means that is added when served.
