    La Taberna, Ronda 2-10-18 (cool reflection from menu outside)
    L L.

    Respect to Jim R. (review below) from my hometown--Motown Philly's back again!!! So we got, pretty much, what Jim R. got, plus a couple more. But I think they screwed up our mushrooms b/c Jim's didn't look like ours... more below... Indoor and outdoor seating. It was chilly when we were there, so we sat inside. The place was empty when we arrived, and totally packed (as in standing-room, only) when we left. They got SLAMMED! We hit them just in time! FOOD: Pinco de Mar y Tiera (land and sea kebab) not really as described, just shimp, but it was flavorful. Not the best we had. Pinco de Cordero con miel de cana (lamb kebab with honey) tender, flavorful lamb, very good. The lamb I had in Rota was too gamey tasting, but this lamb was great, had a good grilled-meat taste. YUM! Carrillada de Cerdo Estofada (stew of pork cheek). My husband thought this was AWESOME!!! Deep, rich, meaty flavor. Very tender, like extremely rich stew! Langostinos Curry, again, good but no stand-out in any way. Queso de Cabra con Cebollas Caramelizadas EXTREMELY GOOD! So tasty. I was afraid the onions would be too sweet but they were perfect, and the goat cheese was amazing. Not too mild, not too strong, the perfect tang against the sweet onions. YUM!!!! I am not a big croquette fan, but I was up for the authentic regional tapas experience. This was my second Flamenquín in Ronda, basically a ham and cheese croquette. The one I had the night before at La Niña Adela was smothered in sauce, which really helped because the ham tends to get dry in a croquette. Taberna serves the croquette dry, so, well, it was a little dry. The Champiñones Rellenos (stuffed mushrooms) were apparently also done as a croquette (???). Not sure if they served us the wrong thing or if this was really it? The croquette we got was mostly stuffed with spinach, so it is hard to say. Jim R.'s photo shows a croquette with mushrooms in it and no spinach, so my hunch is this was the kitchen's bad. Leche Frita was a custardy cake, kind of like a boiled junket. Typical Spanish flavor with the custard texture against carmel and cinnamon garnishes. Very good!!!!!! Mousse de la Casa was SOOOOOO good! Rich and creamy chocolate mousse, with thick chocolate shell on top, like quality Euro chocolate. Absolute YUM! SERVICE: Our server, Juan Carlos, was super nice, and very attentive. We asked his suggestions and he was helpful about everything. Awesome service! He was also really grateful when we asked him to add a tip. The Spanish really appreciate American-style tips! Total for all this was just 27€, then 33€ with tip we added.

    Small quaint restaurant in Plaza del Socorro. Good quality tapas set in a simple & traditional decor. Tapas and wine are very inexpensively priced compared to Northeast U.S.A. standards. (in Ronda 1.5 for tapas and 2.5 for glass of wine) Strongly recommend for simple traditional tapas like Jamón Ibérico, Queso, Chicken Skewers etc. The attentive and friendly attitude of the staff here in Spain makes you wonder what we're doing wrong back at home (and I say this with compassion because I do love my country)

    Fried goat cheese with onions reduced in red wine and a small sandwich of grilled churizo.

    Great place in the square to get good food at decent prices. All other spots in the square are over priced and mediocre

    One of my favorite meals in Spain. It is situated in the middle of small street close to Puente…read moreNuevo, which could easily be a tourist trap. Maybe I should get out of that mentality, because everywhere we ate in Spain that was close to popular attractions was decent. Anyways, I digress. The service was excellent. It was definitely fine dining. They used an aerator for our wine, and kept refilling when our glasses were close to finishing, which was attentive service. The cod and avocado salad was amazing. They used avocado skin rather than avocado meat, which gave the salad an extra crunch rather than creaminess, which I thoroughly enjoyed and was unexpected. There were orange slices, quail egg bits, and black olives (which were NOT at all bitter, despite other occasions we've had black olives). It was a wonderful balance. The paella was delicious. We got the seafood paella; although it wasn't as crunchy as we had hoped, the seafood flavor was super saturated. Plus, there was sooo much good and fresh seafood! Salmorejo was soooo good. We did a cooking class the previous day where we made salmorejo and we couldn't get enough! It is similar to gazpacho, but tomato-based. No salmon in it as you might guess :P But very creamy and topped with chopped hard boiled egg and quality jamon. There was a leg of jamon sitting on a table next to me looking DIVINE, so I was excited to have it in our soup. Tiramisu was delicious too. Not typical to what I've had before, but the ladyfingers at the bottom were not crushed, but rather whole. I loved it! Also, quite possibly the BEST wine we had all trip. So sad we couldn't bring it back with us, but ask for their recommendation, and you won't regret it... It was a local Ronda wine. If you're around the area, definitely check it out! Great date spot, romantic and quaint.

    Top-notch service and great food. One of my favorite meals in Spain…read more Given the late lunch-time heat, we chose to sit alone inside to people watch at the window and take in the bull fighting artwork in the comfort of AC. The meal started with 3 complimentary bites (Spanish omelette, tuna, and mussels). I had the garlicky gazpacho to start, which was poured into my bowl for a little table side pizzaz, followed by the fried eggplant which was very light and delightfully sweet. The bull tail was impressively large (although a lot of it bone), and cooked so tenderly no knife was needed. The flan dessert was a bit of a work of art and its taste on par with its appearance. Finally, our meal ended with complimentary sweet wine. The service could not have been more attentive nor nicer. We realized when we exited we were the only ones left because of siesta, but there was absolutely no rushing. Should I ever return to Ronda, it'd be my first stop.
