The hotel recommended this spot near the beach and I was expecting a cheese plate and if we were lucky, some bread. Boy, I was surprised! We had salmorejo, fish baked on coals, octopus that tasted like bacon, little whole fried fish and an avocado mango shrimp salad. I felt like I was eating at a 5 star restaurant at a luxury resort. It was amazing and affordable.

Went here last week with friends visiting - they had been stationed (as I was) at the Rota Naval…read moreStation and apparently spent a lot of time in Sanlucar. It was a very doable walk from downtown Sanlucar as I didn't want to take a chance trying to find parking on narrow spanish streets. To be sure of my location when I was nearer to the spot where I thought it was, I asked a man on the street and he was very kind, even going to a bar across the street to be sure. The Bar Restaurante El Colorao is located in the same place it's been for decades though my new friends remembers a lot of wet smaller streets. Disappear for 40+ years and things change! Tables along the walls so we found a spot and sat. A few people at almost 2pm (spanish lunch hour) waiting for their take-out. Lots of bullfight posters, along with framed fotos of the place, and other views/scenes. TV over our heads in opposite corner had CanalSur on for the ongoing Semana Santa processions. We eventually ordered a variety plate that with whole fried squid, chocos, fish of various types, and fried whole shrimp. It was delicious and served quickly considering all the people here. We later ordered a salad served with tomatoes and boiled eggs, and a local type of tuna, along with great Sanlucar boiled shrimp which was also great. My friends drank a beer and manzanilla wine which I missed so much being in the states and it's difficult to find. As we ate, the place literally filled up. I would say there were close to 40 people in all sitting at tables or ordering take-out, and not even 30mins after we entered (what great timing!). All in all, a great experience and a great new place for me to return to when I'm back in the future! Bar Restaurante El Colorao is listed in some Sanlucar tourist maps. About a 20min slow walk from downtown but worth it if you love seafood like we do! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a bit of great food and not a touristy place to relax and eat. Saw a lot of gorgeous patios on our walk there and stopped often to admire and snap pixs. Based on living and eating out in San Francisco, I would say the total price would have been 3x what was paid in Sanlucar!

Unfortunately, there was little in the way of vegetarian food. The salad offered was not so good and most disappointing of all, the staff did not seem to care if I ate or not. To make it even more of a bad experience, our server managed to break dishes and glasses three separate times during lunch.

There is nothing like sitting at a table here and enjoying the great food and great view. I always have to order tortillita de camarón from here, but there's tons of great food on the menu. Throw a dart and order whatever you hit. I love the pollo frito, jabuguitos, salpicón de mariscos, solomillo a la cerveza, brochetas de pescado, salmorejo, and I could go on. This place has great food that is indicative of this city and this region. Definitely check it out if you find yourself looking for a true "sanluqueño" experience.
