    Wow! We stumbled upon this beauty and boy was it delicious! We tried the patatas bravas, risotto, red tuna and the black angus beef, to name a few highlights, and they were stupendous. Reasonably priced and great service. Nothing like leaving the restaurant with your stomach full and money left in your pocket!!

    I left Sal Gorda VERY pleased. Let's start with the service: exceptional in every regard. We tried nearly every tapa that Sal Gorda had to offer and we loved every dish. Things you cannot miss: cube roll black angus, ox-tail, and the shrimp & edamame salad. However, you really can't go wrong at this place! The location and ambiance were great, as well. 10/10 restaurant with even better service :) .

    The Food was very flavorful and delicious. The service was very patient and the food arrived very soon after ordering. I highly recommend the Tuna tartar, and the shrimp edamame mashed potatoes, but honestly everything was great. The place was a little small and hot but it fit 10 of us with no issues.

    Best meal we have had in Spain yet. The vegetable curry was fabulous, as well as the ceviche and the Cube Roll Black Angus. The prices are very reasonable.

    We came here twice during our Seville trip and both times were just amazing. Tasty tapas with a hint of sophistication. Waiting time - be prepared to wait and chill out, don't get nervous, the wait is worth it. The first night we waited around 30 min at 9pm while we asked for a table for the following night and were seated pretty quickly. Service - there are only 3 waiters for the whole area: inside, outside and the second floor. So chill out again, get your glass of wine and wet your appetite with a nice drink and wait to be attended. Food - everything was good, but I would particularly suggest three tapas: Steak tartar de solomillo de retinto - you gotta love raw meat though, if not - don't even order - raw meet served with fresh yolk on top, mustard and mayo, for better tasting mix it all. Incredible. Canelones de ropa vieja - cannelloni filled with shredded pork with a creamy sauce on top, delicious. Risotto de boletus and langostinos - whoever said it is not tasty, does not know risotto taste. The creamiest mushroom risotto with a large shrimp on top! Great wine list and a round of limoncello from the house as well! Thank you Sal Gorda!

    Amazing service. Genuine and welcoming staff. Super helpful with my order, as a vegan, they did not have an allergen menu but the server was vegetarian and helped me pick the Ajoblanco without the Mojama (salt cured tuna bits) and is almond milk based and is a MUST try. Absolutely delicious. Also the verduras which is a tartar style dish with tomatoes instead of meat or fish. My family got the ham/patata croquetas, fried salmon, and some other tapas and loved all of it. Would 100% recommend this place to any local or visitor!

    During my few days in Seville, this was one of my favorite tapas restaurants for their creative takes on traditional Andalusian dishes. Their strawberry salmorejo was unfortunately unavailable, but I tried the crispy cones filled with sea anemone topped with plankton emulsion, the grilled sea bream over ajoblanco, the ajoblanco with mojama and sesame, the steak tartar, and the cochinito/roasted suckling pig. I had to try the sea anemone cones, since it sounds so ridiculous. And it turned out to be very tasty. Each cone is a bit small, but reasonable for 2 euros. And the briney flavor of both the sea anemone and the plankton cream is nice. Definitely worth trying. One of my favorite dishes here, the grilled sea bream was amazing. The fish was cooked perfectly so that the skin is wonderfully crispy and the meat is moist and flakey. And the subtle taste of the ajoblanco serves as a really nice complement to the fish. More of a sauce than a soup. I really like ajoblanco so I also tried the one with mojama (dried cured tuna) and sesame. This was is an actual bowl of soup, so if you want soup, then go with this one. Only get this if you really like the taste of seafood because the bits of mojama have a very strong salty fishy taste, but it balances well with the light flavor of the ajoblanco. The steak tartar was actually my least favorite dish. Not bad, but I didn't really taste much of anything. It just seems like they have more interesting dishes. In contrast, the cochinito is delicious. Usually suckling pig is really expensive so I love how it's less than 4 euros here. The meat was moist, juicy, and tender, and the skin had a great crispiness to it. Overall, I loved the tapas. My favorites are the sea bream and cochinito, but I really like how most of their dishes are very modern and inventive, yet still inspired by traditional Andalusian dishes and ingredients. I definitely recommend.

    Draft is great, esp. in a rainy cold night.

    I have been to a few tapas restaurants in Sevilla for those two days. This is definitely my favorite place. It's a cozy and tasty restaurant. I don't speak Spanish, and I feel unsure when I tapas every time. I showed pictures to the waiter, and he helped me place the order and recommended other tapas for me.

    Back early the 3rd time for Cochinito (Pork). Darn!!! Still out. Tried many items; Shrimp Risotto, Dorado Fish, Gazapacho, Kim Chi Wings, Tuna Tataki, and of course beer and Sangria. I can say that they were all great. Lunch over. Very satisfying. Service was vey good also. Will have to try the Cochinito the next time back in Seville.

    Sal gorda - busy on a Tuesday night!

    Know in advance there are two options, if you want to eat here …read more.. 1. Book a table online ... There is a cancellation policy, so you will need to put down a credit card and around 15 Euro per person to hold the time/date. You will have access to a sit-down table and a waiter and full-plated menu and fancy tapas. VERY IMPORTANT ... Know by sitting at a table with a reservation, you will pay 3 - 5 times the price for the same tapas on the bar side! 2. Show up and get a seat in the bar area for tapas. This is first come, first serve and there was a line of around 5 people when the restaurant opened at 1 p.m. It probably wouldn't be a problem getting a bar area or table if you show up 15 - 20 minute earlier. Otherwise it's a free for all. We would have preferred the bar side and less money ... however, we had a little one in a stroller so we didn't want to jockey for a spot. Had we known showing up a little early at the opening time was so easy, we'd have done that. The waiters are all older in the restaurant side and act pretentious ... as fine dining waiters do. They have little patience ... aren't very friendly ... and are very brusque. They act like they are you doing a favor by waiting on you. Also, be prepared to speak Spanish. The food here is good to average. It's expensive (on the fine dining side) I would imagine the food is the same quality ... just smaller portions on the bar side. We didn't try it. On the sit-down side, things get pricey and you have to order larger portions. We ordered: - Iberico Ham ... 20 Euros. They brought a big plate. There was no smaller order. It was very good. Not the best that we had but better than anything you'd get in the US. - Croquettes ... 12 Euro. Another big order size with no smaller available. These were the best Croquettes we had in Seville. Fried perfectly with a very loose and cheesy filling. Almost like a breadless grilled cheese sandwich. - Cuttle Fish ... 12 Euro. This was pretty bad. It was like eating giant strips of rubber with no taste. Way too chewy and hardly any batter. It was served with no nipping sauce and was like eating a basket of small tires. - Creamed Spinach ... I have never tasted anything like this. It was like eating spinach blended with cream with church insence mixed it. I'd imagine a basket of poppuri soaked in salt water would taste similar. It was not great, although very unique. For 8 Euro, a big pass. - Cheesecake ... Not great. Tasted like a square of sweet cheesecake with strawberry jelly on top. I can't imagine you couldn't find something similar in a supermarket for much cheaper than the 6 Euro price. Overall, the atmosphere was nice. It was immaculately clean inside and it didn't really look as ancient as you'd expect. It looked like a Spanish restaurant you'd expect. However the food was pretty average compared to other restaurants in Spain. We saw the table next to us both got steak and left it about 3/4 eaten, so it couldn't have been fantastic as they didn't look like the GLP1 type. This is one you must hit in Seville, just because it's so famous. It's on a cute street. However, don't expect it to be the best food you try in Seville and if you can do the tapas bar side, you'll probably have a better experience than in the formal dining room area.

There was a show going on when we arrived around 10:50, so the main entrance was closed off, but we went through the side entrance and ordered drinks at the bar. I got a small glass of the orange wine, since I heard that was the specialty in Sevilla and wanted to try it. It was a sweeter wine but had a slightly bitter after taste. There were already a lot of people there, so it was a bit hard for us to see the performance, but from what I could see, it was really good. When it finally ended around 11, the lights came on. My friend and I didn't want to wait around for the next performance, so we finished our drinks and left. They also have plenty of seating outdoors in the courtyard, so if you want to just grab a drink but not watch the show, you can always sit outside and chat.

    The best food I had in all of Seville.. stopped by this place for late dinner during my recent trip…read moreto Seville and this place did not disappoint. We ordered their roasted lamb with cous cous, garlic shrimp croquetta (that was the croquetta of the day), pork cheek stew with potato purée and the chocolate panna cotta for dessert. We also ordered their sangria and tinto de verano. Every dish we ordered was AMAZING - tasty flavorful well seasoned melt in your mouth meat bursting with flavors. We devoured every bite and it was hard to pick a favorite. Both the lamb and pork dishes were 11/10. Not just the taste but the presentation of every tapa was fantastic. Their drinks were also great. The dessert was to die for. This place is super packed during peak dinner hours and there is barely any room to stand. Since we walked in around 11pm, we got a seat and were well taken care of all thru the night. Also noticed alot of veggie options on the menu which was great. Service was awesome ambience is chic. I am certain I am going to crave their tapas once I am back home. Highly highly recommend this place when in Seville.

    Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.
