We wandered into this place while going for an evening walk. We had passed it before admiring its rustic vibe. The seafood paella was one of the best I've had. I know I will be craving it! The sangria was perfect with just the right amount of fruitiness. The tiramisu ranked at the top of the charts. Absolutely to die for! Decadent! Service was top notch and servers were very attentive! read more

We came to Barcelona for our anniversary trip. We're on Day 3/7 and have eaten dinner here twice and will be back! It's funny because we stumbled upon this place on our first night simply because we were on La Rambla and it was close and we were hungry and jet lagged. It turns out its the best restaurant we've had in Spain so far! The ambiance is great! It gives a quiet tavern feel. The service is great with friendly service in both English and Spanish (we're bilingual so no problem with understanding each other). The food was out fast and there was no pressure to leave like when they bring you the check without being asked in the U.S. But the FOOD... oh my GOD. It is to die for. I would recommend the bravas papas, the mussels, pimientos, pulpo, and the tiramisu. Also the sangria was great! You MUST go here when you are at La Rambla. read more

Came here after feeling overstimulated by the Mercado De La Boqueria and it was just alright. Sat at the bar and service was prompt and friendly enough, but the paella I had was disappointing. It looked great as far as presentation goes, but the rice was really undercooked, to the point of being crunchy. The shrimp was a little dry as well. This was my first paella upon arriving in Barcelona so I actually thought oh, maybe this is just how they do it here. I then went on to learn I was wrong - paella rice shouldn't have a crunch to it. Maybe I came on an off night? I was there around dinner time and the place was pretty empty. I was surprised at my experience given how many positive reviews this place had. This paella was also the most expensive that I had while in Barcelona. I don't know, I'd say to skip this spot based on my experience. read more

Nice little spot off the main strip, was hoping for a good dinner based on other reviews, but did not happen. Ordered two of the paella plates, was not good at all, like Chinese fried rice plus salt bombs and literally slimy shrimp. We left most of it on the table, finished our drinks, paid and left in search of human food. Not sure how they got such great reviews, but we were extremely disappointed. read more

Looking for a dinner spot and checking Yelp, we found this awesome looking place. The interior of the location with its exposed beams and bricks is like taking a trip back in time. We were lucky and able to walk in for a table. The service was friendly and quick. The menu has many great options and we selected a couple starters and drink. The sangria was very tasty and the beer was cold just like I like it. We order the seafood paella for two and it does take 15-20 minutes to prepare. Ours came out perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food and service. Enjoy! read more

Wandered into Mino's as we were exploring the historic Gothic Quarter. No advance research, no Yelp previewing, or inquiries with the hotel concierge. Just a hungry Hubby desiring tapas, so we landed here. The quaint ambiance in this old brick walled building lured us in. We tried the Bacalau Croquettes, the Tomato Toast, and the Pork Shoulder. All were ok, but nothing special to speak of, though the Pork Shoulder was too salty for me. In fact, it was as salty as all the jamon I've having in Barcelona that I thought at first that it was jamon! The food was sustenance when we needed it, and it was fine. Not a place to bookmark, or necessarily return to, but the staff was well versed in English and pleasant. Just an ordinary tapas lunch. read more

Yummmmm!!! Favorite meal this month! This place was so yumm. The girl that was working here made it even better. I came here last week: right before the corona virus craziness reach Spain. It was very very busy!! Made it here at opening and luckily, I didn't have to wait. I believe it was like 5:30 pm? Or 6? I eat dinners early since I also get up at 4 am. I was starving. Food: they make it as you order. Apart from the olives, nothing is readymade. So it takes a little time. It's also the only spot in the area that has paella for 1!!! Drinks: BlackBerry mojito: it was recommended! But I ended up didn't liking it. Super pungent/ sour for my taste. And my server/ waitress got me 2 new drinks! Yey! You're cool. Sangrias! I like both the red and the white! I'm not a huge drinker. And they each came in massive goblets! Can't finish it. But you get your money's worth!! Started with free olives: yumm. The patata bombas! That was so good. It's like a potato bomb stuffed with meat. Spice sauce on top! The calamari: fried! Light and good. The best! Langostines! Ala plancha. I love grilled seafood with shells on. Brings out so much flavors. This was all that and so much more. Simple and tasty. My favorite! And the most popular dish: seafood paella with squid ink. So much seafood! Langostine, clams, mussels, squid. A little salty for my taste but I still loved it. Best meal this month. Coming back for sure! read more

We were ready for dinner after walking and exploring Plaça Catalunya & Ramblas. Mino is located on one of the side streets and if you didn't know it was there you might miss it. We arrived around 8 and it was empty. Ah, but wait, this is Barcelona where dinner starts no earlier than 9 so we had the place to ourselves for an hour:) We started with a couple of Tapas. Our server recommended two as we are going to have Paella. Chiperones Andaluza (Fried Squid) & Patata Bomba (stuffed potato with meat). The Squid was fried to perfection and the Bomba was very tasty. Now for the Paella-we ordered two (for three people) based on our server's advice and this was just the right amount. We got the seafood variety (pork is the other one). The seasoned rice with clams, mussels and baby lobster was perfect! We also ordered some Sangria which was on the sweeter side and all enjoyed. Our server was awesome! Actually the entire staff was awesome! Really liked the way they've decorated and designed the restaurant. Will be back! read more

I loved finding this restaurant in the gothic quarter. I like the layout of it--very romantic and quiet. Our waitress was also very helpful and kind! We ordered the patatas bravas and the mixed paella. The bravas were so good--i forgot to take a picture of them! I had only realized it after we finished the whole plate! The paella was also amazing, a little too salty for me but the seafood in the rice balanced it out. read more

We had the Paella, skirt steak and cold cuts. The cold cuts were cut right off this huge leg that was sitting near the entrance. Excellent! Perfectly fatty and savory. The steak was cooked well although there wasn't anything specifically special about it. The Paella was really tasty. We asked for a lemon because --- seafood! And it was heavenly. There was only a bit of crunchy bits on the bottom so better to ask for crisp if you like that stuff. (I do!) Lovely place to go to dinner! The server was very friendly and helpful as well so we had a great night. Pro tip: The glass of Sangria is pretty big for 4 euros! Get it! read more

Wow... we had such a blast at this place! Servers were fantastic and the food was amazing!!! When we landed, first thing on mind was tapas in Spain. Yelpers have this place high regards so we decided to trust our fellow elites. Rightfully so, it was a hit. First time I've ever had paella and man... it was so flavorful and sublime. The burnt edition to the rice gave it a nice crunch profile. Love the flavors in the mussels as well. It was well rendered in this dish. Had a slight heat which was perfect for additional bites. Garlic shrimp did well with their bread and mussels. I didn't post the spicy chorizo but that was also a delicious hit. Seemed like all the dishes compounded well by the time we got through this episode. Drinks! Their local wine was 3€!!! My original mint Mojito, which was perfect I ratio btw, was 4€... 4€!!! And it did its job well too. Decor has the outside/inside look with a rustic feel. It's a bit small if you come during busy time but well worth the wait if any. Highly recommend this place. read more

We didn't get the memo about making reservations before eating here, but the owner and bartender were so accommodating. Even though we were seated in the "waiting area", we were still attended to and received excellent service. You must order the blackberry mojito! Absolutely delicious! I ordered the sangria for my next round of drinks but was disappointed. We ordered lots of tapas which was more than enough to make us full. The patata bomba is pretty much a croqueta but the meat is filled with lots of flavors. The chipirones andaluza (calamari) was okay but I've definitely had better. The gambas al ajillo was probably my favorite tapa. I love anything seasoned with garlic and the shrimp was so tender. read more

We came in pretty late, about 40 minutes before they closed and they were kind enough to still take us. Interesting interior for sure with random items mounted on the walls. The staff was super friendly and despite their limited English and our limited Spanish the communication was easy. We decided to make this our first paella and was grateful that they would still cook a dish that takes so long at the late hour. We each ordered a mojito and were impressed by both, in presentation and flavor. When the paella came out we were pretty impressed by the appearance. The proteins looked like they have been roasted beautifully. The flavor was great, tastes of the sea and of the earth. We were both surprised by the size of the dish for one person and grateful we ordered the smaller dish to share. Definitely a great place to see and eat at if you are in the area. read more

Paella - awesome just like what others wrote about. It was flavorful. Rice was a bit crunchy; right amount of spice and seafood. Prawn in garlic - good but didn't taste the chili in the garlic. Looks like shrimps and baby shrimps, definitely not prawns. The waiters are super nice even though she's not fluent in English but tries to talk and be personable. Our hotel was 18 minute walk. I had to take a cab just for this place and did not regret! read more

Don't let the entrance scare you. It's less than impressive entrance is not a reflection on the food or service.

This was a good little restaurant in the heart of Las Ramblas. Fairly touristy, but quite frankly I don't mind if that means you obtain good service. My family and I ordered the sangria and paella, and weren't disappointed. The food was flavorful, however, I will say that the paella was not freshly made. Traditional paella is cooked for about 2-3 hours, and is a bit crispy at the bottom. We learned that the paella is frozen and warmed up in the oven in roughly 15 minutes. If you're in a pinch and need a place to eat in Las Ramblas, this is good to place to stop at. read more

I stayed in a cute airbnb on del Carme, this place came highly recommended on Yelp, Being that it was my first day in Barcelona I had trouble with navigation, only to be sent to the one restaurant that is on my street. Service was prompt and friendly. It has wifi. The server tells you right away in case you need to do some social media break from your day of walking on La Rambla. The mixed paella was large and needed to take home after we tried to eat it all, too much food. The grilled calamari and the mussels were great. Still did not realize at the time wine is cheaper than water in Spain but after this meal, we got it. This being our first meal, we did not realize how expensive or how cheap it was, we knew it was less than the U.S. and Germany where I'm from and where she's from, so we were delighted by the check when it came in. Still, I think the most impressive thing about this spot is how nice it is inside, after a hot day walking around, this was the refuge we were looking for. read more

FOOD: 3 SERVICE: 3 AMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 2 Sorry, I was not impressed with the food or the service. The best thing was the bottle of Kava. We ordered the following: 1. Corazones de Alcachofas - warm artichokes heart salad with 'Romesco' sauce. The artichoke include dsome non-edible/chewable parts. The rest was a little salty and mostly devoid of much taste. 2. Cordillo de Cerdi - baked knuckle of pork. Over cooked and dry, almost Jamon like! The best part was the baked potato slices. 3. Paella Mixta - iced seafood and pork rib paella. It could have been nice, but tonight it was way over-cooked. The rice was mushy and all the seafood and meat were shriveled up and dry. Service was very slow and if it wasn't for the free wifi, we would have been really pissed with the service. Not worth a try in Barcelona. read more

What a nice little find in Barcelona right off La Rambla. Really cozy and romantic... Don't eat on the main street, there are plenty of little gems like this one on the side streets! They bring olives to start...seems to be a custom at many Spanish restaurants and I really dig this. While bread is nice, some olives are nicer. Patatas bravas - nice chunks of fried potato with two sauces drizzled on them. Pan con tomate - bread and tomato! Took a bite from my wife's side dish and it was great. Artichoke - it was amazing! I would order this again - and certainly recommend you try it. The red sauce that comes with it adds a nice flavor boost to the already flavorful artichoke chunks. Sprinkled with sautéed arugula! Paella mixta - with pork ribs. On my last night in Barcelona I had to get my Paella. And these folks delivered! It's a super large plate with all the traditional seafood....and comes with 4 pork ribs. Awesome flavors. We went with a bottle of red wine ( only €15)...that was excellent. Wish I had jotted down the name. The restaurant itself is covered with stone walls, hip lighting fixtures and random objects on the wall like bicycles (yet it doesn't feel weird, it all works so well.) Dull colors, low lighting, exposed wood on the roof...it's got the perfect atmosphere for a nice dinner/glass or two of wine while in Barcelona. read more

Just arrived in Barcelona and wanted some seafood near our hotel. We found this place through Yelp. We were one of the first to be seated around 7 pm. There was 4 of us. We are quickly learning that people eat really late around here, as it did eventually get crowded. And we could see why! Delicious! Started out with a liter of sangria for 2 people and 2 mojitos for the others. We are learning not to be impatient Americans. Slow down, take your time and don't expect immediate service and all will be great. Both drinks were great. The sangria was nothing like we have had in the states, nice flavor and fruit. The mojitos had a great flavor and had lots of min and limes. For appetizers we had artichokes and a dish with mackerels and grilled veggies on bread. Wonderful. Our main course was paella with sea food and pork ribs. We got a big skillet to share. It was delicious! Then we finished off with mussels. This is a small cozy hole in the wall place. The waitstaff was friendly. Really enjoyed our experience. read more

While in Barcelona there is no shortage of options to visit to get your finish of Spanish (and Catalonian) cuisine. Off the main drag from La Rambla, Miño was one of our first stops in the city. Charming and intimate, it is the perfect casual place to unwind with a pitcher of sangria or some wine after a long flight - or just because you're craving a refreshing glass or three. The vibe itself is laid back and trendy, with stone walls and simple decor. While I won't claim it was love at first bite with every dish we ordered (the seafood paella was disappointingly dry to the point of the rice seeming uncooked and the gambas in the gambas al ajillo were minuscule), there was plenty of winners. The basic pan con tomate, and the jamon were very generous, and more than made up for the misses. Stop on in, enjoy some tapas, and definitely be sure to get some their sangria. Miño is a delightful low key choice. ¡Buen provecho! read more

If we come back to Barcelona, we definitely want to come back! Our AirB&B was close by, and we didn't really like walking through Las Ramblas (a bit too touristy), so we walked around this area. We had 9PM reservations for dinner, so we wanted to walk around to get little tapas around 6 or 7 and to get some drinks before we go! We just stopped by Mino, and I noticed it had good reviews on yelp! It was pretty small restaurant, but we walked in, and not a lot of people (at 7PM). We sat right at the bar, and the bartender was working something. He was so sweet! His name is Javier; he doesn't speak much English, so I'm also guessing that means Mino isn't a big touristy place! But the amazing thing is -- he tried talking to us even though we didn't speak Catalan or Spanish, and he didn't speak English! He took our order, and did a great job with our drink! I saw the blackberry mojito and my husband got the capiriña/caipirinha. It was on the happy hour menu, and I thought it was going to be a refreshing drink! He ended up spending so much time making our drinks, really smashing the blackberries into the mojitos, and getting the mint flavor into the mojito as well! My husband then asked if we can buy him a drink, and we would all do shot together! He seemed so pleasantly surprised, and he ended up choosing a tequila (great chose for my husband, actually)! Javier only did a quarter shot, but he took a photo with us (and we took a photo with him too, see photos)! He asked why we were there, and he told him we were on our honeymoon. He didn't understand "honeymoon," but we used Google translate, and he was like "oh!". He was so sweet to try to get to know us, and we loved our drinks! We also ordered grilled langoustine -- grilled (4) shrimp/norway lobster on a plate -- also photo'ed. It's so simple -- just grilled, salt, pepper, and some lemon. I never was the type to suck on the shrimp head, but my husband does it all the time. But this time I tried it, and it was SO GOOD!! I highly recommend it!! It was a game changer! I never did it before, but now I feel like I should always do it! I was about to order another order of the langoustine just to have more, but we said we shouldn't eat too much!! But we were off, but we were so glad we stopped by! It was so nice to meet Javier, and when we paid the check, he comp'ed us the tequila shots! What a nice guy, and definitely made our visit so memorable! read more
