    This was possibly the least favorite meal that we've had in Spain, unfortunately. After a couple…read moretries on Christmas night for other restaurants, which we found were all closed, we ended up coming here bc we had seen it open (but fairly empty) around 8:30pm. It later filled up... possibly bc of limited restaurant openings in the area. There was definitely a language barrier- at some point my mom has questions about dishes and the waiter called over one of the cooks who spoke better English. We definitely had a miscommunication about paella- they initially let us order seafood paella for one person but later told us that the paella were minimum for 2? But then the two servings arrived at different times??? One came hot and the other one was lukewarm. Paella was good, according to my mom who knows better than I do on this dish. There weren't that many seafood pieces though, and it arrived in a regular plate instead of in a paella pan (TripAdvisor photos from 2017 indicate they used to?) My dad ordered some sort of Iberian steak- it was dry but tasty. Could have done with some sort of sauce. My mom's fish arrived raw in the middle- I ended up explaining to a waiter using Google Translate and he immediately whisked the plate away- when it came back, it was perfectly cooked. Our favorite dish (at least for my mother and I) was probably the dish that they served immediately (lettuce, tomatoes, onions and some vinegar dressing) and the mixed salad which was... more of the same but with some beans and a different ratio of the same items. Sangria was also forgettable. Overall, really 2.5 out of 5, but I upgraded it to 3 since they fixed the fish. There are really plenty of good options nearby.

    We had New Year's eve pre-fix dinner here and while it was delicious and they certainly gave you…read moreyour money's worth (unlimited wine and cava) we think the fois gras pate made us sick. The star was the main dish, grilled iberico pork with potatoes. This place was packed with locals and the food was good, just don't order the pate. The service was phenomenal for Seville and the waiter tried hard to accommodate our 2 year old (which we agree is tricky at a fancy place) they brought him soup and chicken and a chocolate torte cake. Super nice.

    Incredible service in a tiny little tapas car. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun.read more

    Food was undisputedly delicious and I'm glad that I came here but be forewarned that this is a tiny…read moreestablishment that does not do reservations and is on a first come first served basis. I came here due to a yelp recommendation because like most westerners unaccustomed to the Spanish way of living I was hungry at about 7 pm and needed something to eat. Yay yelp to the rescue. The place was crowded and there were no seats available when I arrived. There were many small groups congregated around tables and a few couples as well. It isn't obvious how to proceed once you come in the door so I probably stood there awkwardly for a few minutes near the door before making my way to the bar to what looked to be a vacant seat. A gentleman informed me that it belonged to his girlfriend so I was forced to now stand awkwardly next to the bar. Bar tender to the rescue explaining that if I waited he was pretty sure someone would leave soon and I could order a drink while I waited. I ordered a sangria and also inquired about food but was told that I need to have an actual seat in order to order food. After nursing my drink for about 20 mins when I was about to pay and head out to find somewhere else to eat, a spot finally opened up and I was treated to the most delicious steak and potatoes and zucchini tapas. This had to be one of the most delicious things I have eaten on this vacation. When I finally vacated my seat to save a pair of new arrivals, there was a line outside of people waiting for the opportunity to eat here. I might chance it again before I leave Seville. I highly recommend for the food and friendly waiters but wish there was a way to turn seats over more quickly. One guy kept insisting he was saving his girlfriend's seat but in the 90 mins I spent there she never showed up. Who knows if she ever existed. Bread comes free with your tapas order and really complimented the meal.
