The inside is TINY but there are a few tables outside too. The menu is simple by necessity as the kitchen is the size of a broom closet - but Inch does some pretty great things in there. I opted for pan con tomate with spicy chorizo - it was simple and perfect and everything it should have been. The Mister had a very good plate of ravioli - again, simple but good. Drinks are reasonably priced and the sangria is served in a giant glass. The one gentleman running the place was taking orders, making food and generally doing everything yet the service was still really good. Definitely a locals place for a simple and tasty meal.

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.

The bar was extremely crowded, and we had to worm our way through towards the back, where there is a pool table with some stools and tables.

I appreciate how they have a list of all their drinks on the menu. They had lots of interesting drink names that I had never heard of before. The M&M cocktail was a tasty, milky drink.

We were quickly greeted by a Gentleman who gave us a quick summary of their breakfast options. Around 10 on a Saturday morning, it felt like we were opening the place. Smaller and cozy narrow space inside and they had a few tables outside. Given the view of the Basilica, we opted for outside. We ordered a couple of Cafe Con Leches. Just the right temp. and perfect. For a light breakfast, we shared the Spanish Omelet (when in Rome or Barcelona in this case......) Eggs infused with potatoes and onions and, on the side, mini toast topped with a tomato spread/olive oil. Maybe it was the fact that we had an amazing view of the Sagrada but this Omelet was amazing. Simple ingredients done right! Our server was upbeat and engaged and took great care of us. Ardevol has been around since 1957-I see why. Great spot for coffee, snack or a drink.

The deco is cool and with an azteca and mexican mix style! All colorfull! About the service they have always been kind with me! I have been there many times and always super respectful and kind! I don't give the 5th start bc of some small things such as: terrace closing at 12am bc of the neighborhood. Also the alcohol of the margaritas can be sometimes bad taste and also the prices of the dishes i think can me a bit overvalued!

From the moment the doors opened, the hostess greeted us warmly and immediately offered us the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. It sounds simple, but after being ignored for nearly an hour elsewhere, that genuine welcome meant everything. Our waitress was an absolute star -- attentive, enthusiastic, and thoughtful about accommodating our group's preferences. She walked us through appetizer modifications without hesitation, making sure everyone in the party was taken care of. The food was outstanding. Highlights included: * Table-side prepared Guacamole -- fresh, flavorful, and a great show * Red Tuna -- beautifully done * Chicken Mole -- rich and complex * Carnitas and Beef Tacos -- both excellent * Cochinita Pibil -- a standout dish The margarita menu offered something for everyone: Classic, Spicy, and Peach -- all great. They also offer tasting menus if you want to really explore the kitchen. Miss Bobby had the Mother's Day celebration she deserved, and Oaxaca delivered it with grace. Highly, highly recommended.

They use fresh fruit puree to flavor them and strawberry was definitely my favorite. We split their nachos that had the most dreamy queso! I also had their shrimp cocktail and it was absolutely delicious. I literally felt like I should be staring at the ocean from a balcony in Mexico! For my entree, I ordered their chicken salad and it was MASSIVE! It had tons of grilled chicken, avocado, peppers, tomatoes, and a yummy balsamic dressing. It was everything that I needed and more.
