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.

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.
Seat at the bar facing sherry casks and their Iberico Jamon.
Pringa sandwiches were blah.

It wasn't hard or tough to bite like the baguettes you usually get from the markets. There was also a good chunk of meat and salami for both. To top it off the Pringa was only 2.50 and the Mantecaito was only 3. The burger was very large and you could pick whether you wanted it rare or medium.

Don't be scared by the two € on Yelp - the large portions of the plates (plenty for a full meal) are around 10€ each, which is not bad at all! When a surprisingly large number of people ordered chicken rods (very crunchy chicken fingers), the owner and waiter came to advise us that we had ordered an enormous amount of food and wanted to give some suggestions on substitutions and eliminations to our table's order to better enjoy our huge meal. We took their suggestions and appreciated them. The jamón ibérico and manchego cheese plates we ordered as group appetizers were very high quality and delicious. My own meal was the bacalao enrollado (cod fillets stuffed with smoked salmon and covered with aioli sauce. The aioli was overwhelmingly covering the entirety of the fillets, so I had to scrape most of it away to really enjoy the fish.
