Cala Boca means appetizer in Portuguese, and that is precisely what tapas are, pretty appetizers…read morethat constitute a dinner. Every time that I visit my hometown I find new modern and hip restaurants, and Cala Boca is one of those: located in an old street nicely gold illuminated at night in downtown Sabadell, is dark and lovely in the inside. Minimalist yet well studied decoration with old school chalkboard where you can see the tapas and drinks of the day. I really liked the thick plastic bag where our Albariño wine was served, it was very chic and I have never seen that before. The place was packed last night, with tons of people enjoying their food and people watching while getting some fresh air. About the food: some tapas were amazing, like the cod based and the padron peppers. However I did not enjoy that much the calamares a la andaluza (calamari Andalusian style) nor the pulpo a feira (octopus Galician style). Calamari were too gummy and the bread covering it was too thick and there was not flavor so I asked for some aioli sauce. As per the octopus, I just prefer it cut in disks and only boiled with paprika and olive oild added, and this style seemed to be a little bit fried and the flavor was just ok. Patatas bravas were good but not awesome, I would have add more spiciness in the sauce, it was too blend for me. The mushrooms mix was very good, i did not even know so many of the varieties presented in the dish. The yolk of an egg was add to the mix and I find it very creative and tasteful.

Modern, eclectic yet with the classic tapas. Try anything seafood related and I fully recommend the padron peppers, they put so many, definitively these tapas are to share at least among 2 people. My bestie Silvia and I had a great tapas night-people watching and enjoying a great late summer night.

In the end the chocolate cake was better, I think. But everything very personal with very nice waiters and a comfortable ambience. In a Street with many bars this I recommend to everybody!

My friends and I shared some patatas bravas, morcilla and chocos and all was ok. Maybe because we sat outside we didn't enjoy the Andalusian atmosphere from inside, but it was a pleasant night and service was prompt. Tinto de verano drinks are a must at Sacromonte.
