Not only does this restaurant have many menu options, but also they have quite a few healthy ones, numerous inventive ones, and (based on the 6 or so we ordered) many utterly delicious ones. These are not the tapas you will see (or may eat) here, there, and everywhere else in Spain. I can't remember everything we ordered (we had croquettes, a chicken option or two, seared tuna, and a few others), but I do remember that everything was well plated and scrumptious. It also bears mentioning that we were given a basket of bread and a small dish of mixed olives to munch on while we waited for our dishes to arrive. We topped this meal with the white chocolate cheesecake, which was the best cheesecake I've ever had (and I've had many cheesecakes in quite a few countries). Surely the individuals and groups who stopped by hoping for a table (many of whom were turned away), are testament to this restaurant's food and popularity. Based on the same, I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. I can't really speak about the restaurant's interior atmosphere as we were seated outside. The outside view wasn't anything special (at least not from where we sat facing parked cars and side street traffic), but we enjoyed the beautiful evening all the same. BOTTOM LINE: We enjoyed an amazing, celebratory meal at this restaurant. Should you choose to dine here, you'll very likely share our high opinion of La Mata 24.

La Mata 24 is located at a side street of the big and lively square of Alameda de Hercules. The…read moresquare is pleasantly crowded during evenings with kids playing and their parents enjoying some beers or tapas at one of the plenty resto's around the area. We decided to go here based on TA reviews and were not disappointed - at all! After several nights of trying out different tapas places, we can easily say this one was our favorite. The menu might not sound that inspiring at first, but the tapas dishes are incredibly tasty. The cook gives a little twist to every dish and blends the ingredients well with different spices and herbs. Please try the carpaccio of shrimps - an awesome surprise and well worth the price. All other tapas were very flavourful and supernice as well. Service is great with friendly waiters who like to make a little chat. Desserts are ok - nothing wonderful but the whole innovative and very tasty tapas dishes make up completely for this. The resto is not super big, with some tables inside and about 5 or 6 tables outside. We got there around 9h30 and soon after that, the place was full. The atmosphere around the square is great and it is the best place to eat in the area (we tried a few others around the Hercules square...). Ahhh...writing about this place, makes me want to go back! We found it better than San Telmo - with similar prices (some dishes might be a little pricier - but they are also better than at San Telmo).

But we decided to give it a try and it was the BEST decision of our 1.5 month trip in Spain!!!!! Food here is flavorful; contemporary; creative and I would say the most delicious meal we had in Spain that was 3-5 euro per tapas plate!!! This is a comparison across San Sebastian, Madrid, Barcelona, Cordoba, Granada, and northern Spain! We were quite impressed that these people had balls to experiment and execute the tapas so well! We loved all the 6 tapas that we ordered. The waiter recommended a special of the day, which was shrimp and we were hesitant to try but at only 3 euro, why not? Best decision ever! It was shrimp in a wrap, deep fried and came with a curry sauce! Totally unexpected flavors! We love the risotto, the duck wok, the briased beef with crunch/soft potato and fresh garlic, and pull pork. We were so sad that we couldn't eat more and that we had to leave Seville. If it weren't for booked hotel and bus tickets; we would have stayed longer just to try all their stuff!

My wife and I visited this place twice while in Seville for 3 nights, which speaks volumes. It's…read morelocation was convenient for where we stayed and is right off of the plaza near the Alamade de Hercules. Many of the dishes we tried were delicious and very affordable. Both times, we left full, had a few glasses of house wine, and left very happy for under 20 euro. If you don't get to this place at the right time, it is going to be hard to find a table. On our first visit, we utilized the limited bar space and enjoyed ourselves immensely. On our second visit, we went a bit earlier and were afforded a small table to enjoy the meal. The cannelloni dish filled with spinach is delicious, but based on how fast it arrives on your table after ordering, it is 100% chef Mike'd (microwave). Also, curiously, the familiar taste of the sauce and presence of some campbell's cans on display suggest the sauce isn't super authentic, but rather a tweaked canned sauce. We still ordered it twice, so don't get me wrong, it was delicious. The Filete de Turco was a nice dish, consisting of a heavily seasoned turkey patty that was stunningly good to eat. It was served with a small bed of greens and some sort of sour cream/herb dipping sauce that complimented it nicely. One of the highlights of our visits was the Salmorejo dish. If you aren't familiar, it is chilled tomato based soup similar to a gazpacho, yet blended to a silky consistency and is amazing. Theirs comes with slices of Jamon and some chopped egg, and is absolutely wonderful. Order it if you go there. It is 2.50 euro. We love how a lot of locals, not just tourists come here. Definitely a bonus. Will definitely return. =) Cheers.
