Great food and service. Highly recommend this place. Get there early in the afternoon as they don't take reservations.

Our Airbnb host recommended this spot and I actually had it bookmarked prior to visiting, so we decided to come on a Sunday night for dinner. The restaurant was chaotic and very overstimulating; granted, it was Palm Sunday and the beginning of Semana Santa. Unsure where to sit or stand, we shuffled around before we somehow found a standing spot at the bar. We ordered a vino manzanilla to drink as we perused the menu to order. Did not expect the vino to be so strong, but it def kick started our appetite. We ordered the espinaca con garbanzo, merluza y gambas, and choco Fritos. All which were simple, but very delicious! The choco fritos were plump and fried to a crispy perfection. The espinaca was flavorful and rich. But my favorite had to be the merluza y gambas. It came out piping hot! The fish and shrimp were so meaty, tender and the oil soaked up so well with the bread they had given us. We wanted to return to try some other items on their menu, but never got around to it. This would be a spot we would return to though! --most of the staff aren't very fluent in English, so speaking Spanish gives you way more leverage read more

Our first meal in Seville was based on a local's recommendation to try Bar Dos de Mayo. We dropped in on a Friday evening (7:00pm). Service is rough around the edges but the food comes out incredibly quick. All the plates we ordered were tapas size. Menu is massive and available in several languages. - Pan y picos (0,90€) - they charged us for bread even though we gave the basket back. - Binomio Reserva tempranillo - graciano (2,90€) - Ensaladilla de pulpo a la gallega (3,75€) - potato salad with bits of octopus. Wouldn't get again. - Paleta ibérica de bellota jabugo (3,90€) - iberico ham was good. - Bacalao al estilo de la viuda (3,75€) - their house special. Cod was tender, rich sauce. - Rosada al romero (3,80€) - was supposed to be pink-cusk eel, but we were given a cod dish. Overcooked. - Flor de alcachofa (3,90€) - grilled artichoke. Okay. - Carrillada ibérica al jerez (3,65€) - stewed Iberian pork cheeks was homey. Decent fare but nothing that impressed. read more

Casual tapas-style dining, great place for a few drinks or a quick bite when you don't want a big sit down meal.

The Tapas were the best we've had in Andalusia. The waiter recommend the Cod au gratin and red fruit(Bacalao Gratinado y fruitos roja)....so awesome! read more

All of these Michelin stars that they got is for a reason because I believe this is the one of the best Spanish food I tried and also one of the most cute environment read more

Stopped by late night for some tapas since we were still a bit hungry. The food came out super fast and price was very affordable. The flamenquin tasted fantastic. I walked back to hotel and ended my day fully satisfied. read more

I think we were expecting more based on the reviews. It was just kind of average. The food wasn't super flavorful or fresh.

EN: My boyfriend and I were hungry and walking around the city and decided to stop by this place on the corner. The menu was thorough and had lots of language options if you don't speak Spanish. The waiters were nice, responsive, and our food came so fast. It was delicious! ES: Mi novio y yo andábamos por la cuidad cuando vimos este sitio. La carta era muy buena con un montón de opciones. Los camareros eran muy simpáticos y rápidos. Fue delicioso! read more

This was our first tapa spot when we landed in Spain. I did some research on Pinterest and Yelp before and this was recommended by locals and tourists! Our airbnb was conveniently located up the block from this restaurant. Even our airbnb host recommended this spot. There is outdoor seating with many few other bars/tapa restaurant in the same area. The night we were there, there was someone playing "All of Me" by John Legend on the saxophone. This totally made our first night in Sevilla memorable. I would recommend the seafood salad, which comes with shrimp, octopus, onions, red and green peppers. We enjoyed it so much we ordered two of them! We ordered baby clams, which were fresh and came with this white wine sauce that was great for dipping with the baguette that they give you. We also ordered solomillo al whiskey topped with jamon, served on top of sliced potatoes and shishito peppers, grilled calamari and garlic prawns. The prawns were the small ones but they were soaked in garlic oil, what's there not to love?? I would recommend this tapa spot if you are looking for an authentic tapa spot and good outdoor vibes! read more

We came here based on all the good ratings. We ordered a few tapas, 5 to be exact Chorizo and shrimp and leek quiche, which we forgot to take pictures. The chorizo was good. Quiche was not. The anchovies, cod fritter, and pork medallions took over 45 minutes to come out even after checking three times. Services are lacking. There are more places to eat around here. I'm not sure why such a high rating. 1 1/2 hours for 5 tapas and 2 drinks is unacceptable Don't recommend and will not be back read more

Excellent food and wine. Loved everything about this place. So many fabulous tapas...great service and wonderful ambience

This place was so good I came here twice within 2 days! I walked by this place and noticed how crowded it was, so I ended up coming here the next day at 12:30 PM when it opened. I wanted to make sure to get a seat ,and I was able to get one out on the terrace. Whatever you do, order the goat cheese with carmelized onion! This was the best thing on the menu, and I came here the second time just for that alone! I ordered that, a goat cheese tapa with foie gras pate, mariscos salad, jamon serrano tapa, stewed pork cheeks, the pincho corodero, and a sirloin tapa iberico and a couple of other dishes which were all good and reasonably priced. The only thing I didn't care for here was the solomillo al whiskey, which was waaaay too salty. I felt like I swallowed the ocean. And it came with soggy fries. Otherwise, all of the other tapas here were delicious. Most tapas dishes ranged from 3 euro to 5 euro. I had more than enough food for only 18 euro - and that was more than I needed! Credit cards are accepted here. read more

Decent tapas but even though I pointed to the menu which was in English for the items I wanted, I received the wrong items. The server would look at the items I pointed at in my English menu and then look for the same item in the Spanish menu. As a result I think he mixed up some items and we ended up receiving different items than what we ordered. duck bonbon croquetas= croquettes pescaito frito=fried fish filet read more

Dos de Mayo - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

Visited Dos de Mayo from a recommendation from our Airbnb host and boy were we not disappointed!! If I could have visited more times during my short visit to Sevilla, I definitely would have. It is in a small plaza, so you can easily miss it if you're not looking for it. It's a tapas bar that is self-serve, so you'll take a menu and then go to the bar and order what you want. They primarily speak Spanish so it was easy for us to order since I'm a native Spanish speaker. We asked the bartender what his favorite dishes were and went with those. Obviously, we started out with the bread which was delicious. Then ordered the gambas al ajillo which were incredible. Took advice from a previous Yelper and just mopped up that delicious buttery sauce. 10/10. The croquetas de jamon iberico were spot on. They tasted just like the Spanish homemade ones and we even ordered a second helping because we enjoyed them that much. OMG and the bread with goat cheese and onion jam was to DIE for. Just order this right now if you're reading this review. We ordered this same dish at three other different restaurants while we were in Sevilla and none of them came close to how good it was here. Finally, we ordered a dish which I unfortunately did not write down the name. It was a pork cutlet on top of french fries. The meat wasn't memorable but I still think about those golden crispy fries. (Just order the fries if you can -- seriously). Absolutely loved this place and can't wait to come up! read more

This place was recommended to me by a Spanish friend so I gave it a go. When I sat down I had doubts about the place because the menu was translated into a few different languages which is always a sign that it's an overpriced tourist trap. Thankfully I was wrong. Everything I tried was really yummy and for under 4 euros for each tapas which is a bargain. I tried the house baked cod, zucchini "soufflé" and the seafood salad which were all delicious. On top of that the waiter was super friendly so I had a great dining experience. read more

Dos de Mayo is the place to go for solid tapas. We came back twice during our trip because it was that delicious. It is on a lively plaza and the restaurant was packed with locals. Score! For dinner, we tried the espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas), which was simple and delicious, along with a plate of jamón ibérico. The highlight of our meal, however, was a plato (larger portion) of berenjenas con miel, aka fried eggplant drizzled with honey, aka the meal that I want to eat on my deathbed. The batter on this eggplant was thicker than other tapas places making it taste almost like amazing fair food. The dark honey/molasses was just stunning. This dish was definitely meant for at least four people but the two of us inhaled this large helping so quickly that a cute Spanish family sitting next to us stared. We came back for lunch for their solomillo al whisky (steak cooked in whisky) and gambas con ajillo (shrimp with garlic). The shrimp stole the show. I had heard about this dish from my parents who ate it nearly every day when they were in Spain, and I am so happy we got to try it on our last day in Sevilla. It was remarkable. But honestly, when you bring out a sizzling clay pot out with shrimp cooked in a giant pool of garlicky-melted butter what is not to love? I dare you not to dip your bread into that vat of butter. TL;DR: try the berenjenas con miel and the gambas con ajillo. Die happy. read more

You'll hear this one piece of advise over and over when looking for a little gem allover Spain: ==Look for a place full of noise and packed with locals!== Dos De Mayo is that sweet corner spot that completes the checklist. We stopped in to cure my early afternoon hunger pain and managed to place an order with my broken Spanish speaking skills, so just smile and hold that smile, open your eyes really wide and point to things on the menu and see wait to see what you ordered, because that is what we did, it worked. Seriously, I only recognized the words Chorizo and Croquettes, so what was going to come out was going to be a happy mystery, learn to embrace it, our server sure did without hesitation! =Now take a moment to admire the beautiful wall of charcuterie -this is what I came to Spain for!= Set Up:] Sitting and standing tables inside, and seating outside. The outside seating is beautiful in the summer time, right in the open plaza and quite enough to hear birds and see locals walking for fresh morning bread. we placed our order inside and when our name was called we were happy to see what we got. Food:] a basket of crackers was placed before us as we enjoyed our cano early in the afternoon. When we picked up our order it was a huge plate covered in freshly sliced charcuterie; iberico ham, chorizo, and omgyum-ness! the croquettes that came out were delicious and fresh, dotted with pieces of ham and gooey inside. overall:] great experience, although we had our own language barrier we were happy with what we tried. read more

Amazing tapas at very afforable prices. Very busy so you'll need to have patience. It's a restaurant/bar but self-serve style so you go up to the bar and order and get your food from the bartender before finding a place to sit (it was so busy people just sat on the curb to eat). You pay when you're done eating so it's more or less on the honor system because you need to go back to the bar to get your bill. My favourite was the bird's nest with spinach and cod (nido de bacalao y espinaces). read more

Terrible, had such high hopes for this place since it was recommended by both Yelp and Trip Advisor. When we arrived we sat down and were looking through the menu for what to order, we were then told with attitude by one of the servers that it was self service and you need to order at the bar. How will we know what to order without looking at the menu first From that point we already felt pressure to order without exploring the menu. My first impression was one of a restaurant with rude service Second point of contention was when we ordered 1) Tostaditas de Bacalao. They messed up our order and instead gave us Tostaditas de Cabra. I have no problem eating the Tostaditas de Cabra if it's what i ordered.... but it wasn't. Finally the last item we ordered were the navajas , which are razor clams. I've had this elsewhere in Spain and they are super delicious and a specialty for Spain, when we got the navajas they were extremely undercooked and raw. Outside was warm and inside was chewy raw and undercooked. The same with the shrimp. I don't understand how restaurants undercook their food ? Especially when it comes to seafood. I only pray that my undercooked doesn't make me sick. Word of advice, go to the smaller local bars, the food is better, cheaper, and because they aren't locally owned water they won't rush you treat you with attitude. read more

Came for tapas and to sit on the patio, there were very friendly waiters. The goat cheese with carmelized onions was to die for. Must get. Cod fritters were good but super oily and salty and needed a dipping sauce. The pork Wellington was super good too. Also tried the garlic prawns and that was good. My friends got the beef stuffed peppers, chicken, omelette and liked them a lot too. read more

Dos de Mayo - Goat cheese with carmelized onions, fried cod fritters, pork wellington - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

We came here late night and found a great atmosphere, with people mostly standing and eating at one of the outside tables, along with its many indoor tables. We found a table to sit at no problem and ordered up at the counter. Within minutes, our food arrived and we were eating. My favorite dish here is probably the pork rinds. They were made in a such a unique way that I have never encountered before. They were thick and meaty, not too soft. We ordered a variety of other dishes and the shrimp in garlic sauce also stuck out. Yes, this is offered at pretty much every tapas place, but were so good here. This was a true Spain experience and the only reason this was not a 5 star review was because they were out of many things on the menu. read more

Not as good as it used to be... Una lástima!.... The quality of the food went downhill.

Always good food, fast and inexpensive. Central location, and great tapas. Can be difficult to get a table though (it's popular) but if there isn't one when you get there, just wait and one will free up quickly enough. read more

Dos de Mayo - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

Authentic tapas bar, order at the bar, sit if there's room. Always crowded with locals, and tourists who were guided in this direction. All Spanish menu, so get out google to help you figure it all out. My advice: order random tapas and be open to the surprise & authenticity & uncertainty of it all. Not good for groups. It's always crowded, and finding a table is a free-for-all. Sangria pitchers. Tapas range from 2.50-4€, and almost all tapas come in large portion plates. Worth a visit. read more

Self service is a lazy and rude concept. The food came out fast but it was average at best. Service is terrible and I would not recommend.

For our last meal before we left Sevilla (I'm writing this on the ALSA bus as we leave), we had the following: "Gambas Al Ajillo"- Casserole of Shrimp (10 EU)- A hot ceramic bowl filled with a generous portion of shrimp and diced garlic all swimming pool of boiling olive oil. So simple, so amazing. We kept dipping the slices of baguette into this garlicky goodness. (5) "Espinaca" - Stewed spinach with garbanzo beans and chopped quail egg (2.1 EU)- This was a typical tapa which is commonly found among all tapas places. Nothing special, but a solid offering. (3.5) "Bacalao Frito" Cod fritter (2.5 EU)- Kind of expensive for 3 pieces of fried cod, but it was pretty good. The layer of batter was very thin, so that you definitely tasted the fish. (4) Clams with sherry wine (7.5 EU)- WOW. Again, so simple, yet so good. A generous portion of clams swimming in a tomato-olive oil-based broth with sliced garlic and shaved parsely. There were no bad clams among these guys. Awesome. We needed a second portion of bread to soak up the saucy goodness. (5) The wine of the week wasn't so bad either. A red wine light enough for lunch (Olagosa) (2.25 EU). If you want good seafood and don't want it to cost an arm and a leg, this is the place to go. Service is brusque, as is most tapas places in general, but they do have menus in English. You won't regret coming here. read more

Seville is one of those most beautiful and charming cities I've ever visited. This was my first bite of food upon landing in Seville. We had landed super early- around 7am, and our hotel wouldn't be ready until noon. So we decided to explore the city and it wasn't until a few hours later we popped into this little cafe. I forgot what we ordered, but we thought they were jamon sandwiches. Instead they were a tomato-based paste below jamon on top of sliced baquettes. Very interesting indeed, but didn't do it for us. read more

A very extensive menu, focusing predominately on seafood. At the bar, they offer prawns, sardines and other fish at market prices, sold by weight. A great place to try the traditional Seville style fried fish. The prawns were fresh and delicious. The shrimp meatballs came in a savory sauce with slices of blanched potatoes. The paella was salty, as was a rack of ribs that were rather difficult to finish. The atmosphere, however, is the main selling point of this restaurant. If you're lucky, you can forge a tiny gap at the bar. Orders are being shouted across the bar to the bartenders, you're elbow to elbow with other patrons. There's quite a cacophony between the empty beer glasses being slammed at the bar, constant clinking of plates on plates, the teasing between bartender and patrons and the endless Spanish chattering all around. The food, mediocore but the experience - priceless! read more

So I came here with my family as per the recommendation of our Airbnb host and because it looked decently priced, but for our first meal in Seville, we left sorely disappointed. The staff were nice enough, but didn't speak much English, so I had to get by on my intermediate level Spanish. And while there's no table service, meaning you have to go up to the counter to order, they did at least bring the dishes to our table once they were done. The four of us each ordered one full plato, and while the dishes themselves looked presentable and were reasonably sized, they did not live up to expectations. The cod with garlic sauce came warm (like room temperature warm) and was way too salty, and while the potatoes they came with were good, I had to add lots of pepper for me to even be able to stomach it. The "house special" cod with vegetables was even worse. Firstly, the only vegetables that it came with were potatoes, which were swimming in some sort of tomato sauce that was topped with cheese. It was just way too sour, almost like someone drizzled the entire dish in vinegar before serving it. Even after separating the fish from the sauce and trying just to eat only that, it still tasted very off. I was (and still am) seriously questioning the freshness of that dish, and immediately upon tasting it my mother said that it was almost like they served us an old, reheated plate of fish that someone didn't want. I warn you, stay AWAY from the cod! We also ordered two potato omelettes with cod that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me (which says something about how memorable they were). They weren't bad, definitely much better than the cod dishes, but still very bland. The dish was 'spiced' with nothing other than the bare minimum of salt, so once again, pepper was a necessity. It tasted just like you think it would: french fries with eggs. You couldn't even taste the cod, which in hindsight may have been a good thing. All in all, it was nothing special but it's the reason why I gave this place two stars instead of one. I'll be honest, I don't know if we maybe just got unlucky and ordered the wrong things, especially since there were a couple of locals eating there too, but I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Tourists be forewarned, there's GOT to be better food than this in Seville! EDIT: I came back to bump it down to one star because it's been a couple of ours since we were there and I'm already showing CLEAR symptoms of food poisoning. I know it HAS TO BE from the fish at this place because I felt nauseous after the meal and have only been feeling worse since! DO NOT COME HERE!! read more

The good: The bacalao dishes, the squid (don't know the spanish name, but it's 3 euros - only comes in tapa portion - and the last item on the middle page) and the cod fritters. The bad: A bit far from the "city centre" but Sevilla really isn't that big anyway. Would I go again? Definitely! Great place filled with locals at all times. It's really busy, but they have a decent system. You simply go up to the bar and put in your order, and they'll call you over when it's ready to pick it up. The cod with tomato was fantastic. They have it in another style where it's drenched in it's own oils, which is interesting but as you can imagine very very oily. The giant squid thing is pretty darn good, I definitely recommend that. The cod fritters are good, but this is a pretty common dish. If you haven't had it in Spain yet then give it a try. As always, go early (which is 8) if you want to get a table. read more

The food isn't that great, and the staff is really busy so good luck getting help with the menu. Most dishes are traditional to the Seville region. It wasn't as tasty compared to what else is around. Self service place, wait for a table, order at the counter and then pick it up. Don't remember the names of dishes but the only one worth mentioning was a toast dish with cheese and honey. read more

Bodega De Mayo: Our friend who lived in Spain for 10 years suggested this place for Tapas and it turned out to be one of the best Tapas restaurants that we've ever had. We ordered: Pork Cheek Stew (the best in Seville - the pork meat literally melts in your mouth) Deep Fried Fish that look similar to Sardine (was really good) Mixed Seafood con Ajilo (my favorite, it was very tasty) Pringa (one of the best in Seville) Solomillo ala Whiskey (the meat is a bit chewy and salty, not too my liking) Croquette (good) We spent 70 Euro for 4 people (6 dishes and 8 beers). The service is a bit slow as they get very busy, but I will still highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Seville. PS: the restaurant right next to Dos de Mayos was bought by Dos de Mayo, so they both have the same owner and menu even though it has a different name. read more

Dinner It gets packed fast, again mostly locals. Go early or very late. Great value as well. Food is delicious. Have to order your food at the bar after providing your table number. They have an English menu, but you'll need to ask for it. Think it is at the bar. Service is satisfactory. You can't sit there asking for suggestions when it is packed, as this is not that kind of tapas place :) The English menu does have pictures and other helpful info :) read more

Shove your way in and order the gambas al ajillo. Just do it. Mop up every last drop of garlicky butter with the bread. You will run out of bread. Order more. Supplement all of this with one or two additional things off of their extensive tapas menu board, wash it down with a couple of beers, wine or vermouth, and there you have it. The perfect meal! read more

I wound up getting the calamari here and it was not the best that I've tasted. It wasn't served hot, and the calamari itself was a bit rubbery for my liking. The service also took quite a while; I wound up having to wait 20 minutes for the calamari to be served which is pretty long considering that it's a tapas bar. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this place because there are a ton of other great places in Sevilla, but if you're really strapped for time or you're literally right next to it, then maybe check it out and you'll have a better experience than I did. read more

Very nice place, delicious food and friendly waiters! Moreover, for 2 of us we paid only €21 in total for the meal and drinks! LOVED IT..!!!

Best Tapas in Town, Wine and Mood very well! Thanks for good specials, the bartender pretty lovely!

Nice restaurant in a very busy part of Sevilla. Overall the food was okay, the drinks were decent, and the service/location were great. I wouldn't come here if you're deciding between several places, however, I would say this place is a fairly safe bet if you're looking for a decent meal in a good location. read more

Yes! We ordered the berenjenas, bacalao and croquets and we loved them. Plus the flavor/euro ratio was really high. That pushed it to 5 stars. Our experiences with the staff were fun but I wouldnt say they were there to be your best friend. Its too busy for that! How does that one lady make the food so fast and keep track of everyones order just by hearing it once? We arrived at 8:15 and only had to share our table for a 1/2 hour ;) !Qué bien¡ Pedimos el berenjena, el bacalao, las croquetas...nos encantaban. La ration de sabor/euro era alta. Eso lo lleva a 5 estrellas. La experiencia con los empleados fue divertido pero yo no diría que intentan ser tu mejor amigo. Hay demasiado para hacer para eso. ¿Cómo prepara está mujer la comida tan rápido y acordarse todo solo después de escucharlo una vez? Llegamos a 8:15 y solo tuvimos que compartir tu mesa para una media hora ;) read more
