An ca Curro is the best tapas bar my partner and I could find in Tarifa…read more We rented an apartment right around the corner from this establishment, and unfortunately, we didn't stumble upon this atmospheric bar until our week in Tarifa was almost over. So, on our last two nights we decided to patronize this place and help hold-up the bar. We always ordered a plate of excellent Spanish ham, croquetas, tortilla, and seasonal vegetables, all washed down with cheep and cheerful Spanish vino. Each night was packed with locals; there wasn't any English words in the air other than our own conversation. That said we were made to feel right at home. It was so nice to see a small neighbourhood bar like this one, run by a family, basically, still doing well for themselves by treating all their clients like extended family. This was so refreshing to experience and be a part of. The décor of this very small rectangular space is plastered with picture upon picture of Spanish superstar legends (mostly old-timers) from soccer players, to bullfighters and so forth, all adding to the dusty, well-worn atmosphere. A visit to Tarifa, must include a evening tapas stop here. There are one or two tables at the most, and chances are you'll have to stand. We went early to snag the two bar stools at the back!

That's the treat we got at this place. Curro is the nickname/diminutive of the owner, whose real name is Francisco. We had seasonal (and phenomenal!) tomato salad with Roquefort cheese and their "secret" pork dish. Highly recommended.

Not quite sure what the fuss is with this restaurant but I'm assuming because every other restaurant is closed during the fiesta and they're the only ones open, hence the reason everybody floods this location. Do not go if you want to have a good time!!!

We took a chance and went next door to Bar El Pasillo. Here, we were seated quickly and before I knew it I had a glass of wine from Ribera Del Duero in my hand. The service was polite and prompt. My wife is allergic to nuts, and the chef made an off the menu tomato salad that was so fresh that with just a pinch of sea salt, the natural flavors exploded in my mouth. The one of a kind fish croquettes were crispy on the outside and smooth and moist upon biting the crust. Our girls loved the mini Spanish burgers. We were entertained by live music in the plaza which was far enough away to add to the ambiance but allowed dinner time conversation without yelling. If you want excellent tapas and love to people watch, look no further!

Service was polite and attentive with some English spoken. Two of us ate 6 dishes and had a beer each for approximately €25. This was plenty of food as a lightish dinner.
