Gambas al ajillo
Shantel R.

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!

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!

Cod fritters

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

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

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.

Don't leave without trying the berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey) (top right). Divine.

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.

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.

These were the dishes I ordered and was happy with all 5. A little much for two people but I managed to finish every last bit!

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).

Incredible tapas, especially the chicharones. Open all the time, right in the heart of Sevilla. Just an amazing, convenient and cheap place.

We had a great dinner at this Spanish Asian fusion tapas spot. We ordered 8 tapas between the 4 of…read moreus to share: (1) pork jowl stew (delicious!), (2) lamb cous cous (great!), (3) truffle humus - wow!; (4) salmon tataki w/ broccoli (very good)i; (5) salmorejo tomato bread soup 9very good); (6) pork w/ broccoli, veggies; (7) veggie tempura sushi: ok; (8) zucchini sachet: ok. Overall, really great dinner!

Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.

This was one of the most memorable meals we had in Sevilla. I recommend making a reservation,…read morethough it may be possible to find a table by walking in. The layout can be a bit confusing, as the restaurant seems to have three dining rooms with separate entrances but only one kitchen. Where we sat was charming, with stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. We started with the foie appetizer, which was a delightful surprise for my palate. It was a unique combination of foie, cream cheese, and what I believe was pear. It was unusual, but I ended up really enjoying it. The zucchini noodles with pesto and burrata were also very enjoyable. However, the star of our dinner was the 40 day dry aged ribeye, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, and absolutely delicious. If we had discovered it sooner, I would have happily eaten here a second time.

This was an excellent meal!…read more My family tried the croquettes, a pumpkin starter, the 100-day aged iberico steak, the cod, the mushroom risotto, and 2 dessert. The star was obviously the 100-day aged steak. It was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious with a little bit of funk. And my grandpa was a cattle rancher so I've had quite a bit of steak in my life. 9.5/10 The pumpkin dish was also exceptional. 9/10 The risotto was the perfect compliment. Wow. Great texture and flavor. 9/10 The croquettes were good, I didn't like the mayo on top. 8/10 The dessert that was essentially a bread pudding was absolutely delicious.i barely tried the orange dessert but it tasted like a Pillsbury orange cinnamon roll. Dessert and service were 10/10

This place is relayed to but distinct from the Bodeguita Antonio Romero, which is newer; this restaurant has been family run since 1939. The menu is only in Spanish, but some staff speak English. They have many wine options by the glass and the classic red vermouth, but we opted for house rioja, which was great. Onto food: they have various size options for most dishes, which is nice if you want to try more variety. Atún rojo envuelto en iberico: red tuna wrapped in iberico and the most amazing tomato sauce Bonito en escabeche con pimentos asados: canned bonito but with a nice acid from the escabeche Pringa: their classic sandwich Carilla: pork cheek served on fries, so tender and rich, not overly fatty Espinaca con garbanzo: spinach and garbanzo stew Alcachofa confitada con taquitos de jamon: confit artichoke stew with their ham version of fried, diced pancetta Everything comes out pretty quickly, but every dish has such great home cooked depth of flavor. This is exactly what we were looking for when we wanted a more low key, authentic place. Note: credit cards accepted.

This was one of our biggest disappointments in Spain. Maybe we came on an off night. We asked our…read morehotel for a recommendation for a really good restaurant where locals more than tourists go. This is the spot they told us to visit and after doing some quick research, it seems to appear in several lists for the best tapas/casual restaurants in the area. They told the hotel that they could not offer a reservation but that we should show up a few minutes before they opened and we should have no problem getting a table. We got a little lost on the way and got there right as they opened ... upon checking in, the hostess said about a 45 minute wait. She said that she could likely get us a spot at the bar earlier, which honestly would have been our preference, but we had a toddler in tow and it wouldn't have worked. After about an hour, we were shown to our table. You can order drinks from the bar while you wait, so I was pretty happy by the time dinner came. The drinks are not cheap here, either. The menu looked fantastic ... Although mostly in Spanish, so I had to keep asking my phone what each item was. Overall, everything was okay ... to less than okay. They are 'fakous' for their beef sandwich (pringa, or something of that nature) We each ordered one and they were kind of dry and tasteless. The bread was so dry and dense ... and the beef filling tasted reheated. The fried anchovies were good ... we had better other places. These were a little soggy and more of a filet than the whole fish. The braised pork was the best dish we had ... in a creamy sauce. I am not sure why the meal didn't hit, but we considered it to be average. We did see many locals there, so I am sure it's fairly authentic but it wasn't quite tapas and it wasn't quite dinner. The waitress was a little frosty and told us to speak English because she was busy and our Spanish wasn't great. Fair enough, though we did hope to practice more while in Spain. Overall, you probably won't hate your experience here ... but it performed far below the glowing reviews from our hotel and websites. We liked the food overall much more in Barcelona vs. Seville ... but consider the atmosphere and scenery better in Seville. Maybe we came on an off night, or had too high of expectation.
