What an amazing place. The best tapas and blank ink paella I have ever had outside of Spain. And we are outside in a courtyard surrounded by atmosphere, art, and nature. read more

Tabarka - Our atmosphere - Spanish Near Me - Ajijic, JAL

This restaurant is outstanding. Spanish food from Alicante offers mediterranean flavors with a flare, and their Spanish wines to accompany them are truly delightful. The chef welcomes you into his restaurant with warmth; the service is excellent as well. In my opinion Tabarka is #1. All dishes are cooked to perfection, delicious!!! !Provecho! read more

Came here for lunch and had a pleasant meal. Nice garden and nice selection of items. Having lived in Spain I was pleased to know the owner is from there. I had tortilla española, ratatouille, and grilled shrimp. Coffee and Flawn for dessert. All good but not outstanding. Still it's a nice place to have a meal. read more

This is an excellent Spanish restaurant. The Chef owner David is a virtuoso in tapas and paella. He is from Alicante and infuses pride in his creations. The fish selection is limited and was only ok. The location is a bit out of the way and the settings is somewhat awkward. Ask for the tapas and chistorra and you will have an enjoyable meal. Returned on 4th of July and today and had the best Pámpano fish as well as home-made chistorra which was among the best I have ever had. The "tapas" included Dorado fish, were excellent and the Chef David has personalized the dishes asking for our preferences and outdid himself. Very enjoyable! read more

Tapas good! Fish just ok. Too many bees and flies. Service was solid. The local expatriates are the crowd. I can't say it's bad it just didn't do it for me. read more

The bad: paella, their specialty, is not worth the 40 minute wait. Seafood one is not fresh enough. Lasagna is so so. Appetizers could stand more flavor. They missed one of our orders. Bloody Mary was bland. The good: friendly service and nice open ambiance. Conclusion: could be above average with a massive amount of improvement. read more

We had a wonderful evening at this Spanish tapas restaurant. A little off the beaten path, at about 12 blocks from the plaza in Ajijic. Our group of 4 went for the "tapas promotion," offering all 12 tapas plates for the table at 160 pesos per person. Very authentic tortilla espanola and gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). The seafood selection was phenomenal-- all seasoned and cooked well. Well worth every penny! read more

We are loving this place. The tapas are sublime. Do not miss this place. Lovely gardens to look at, excellent Margaritas. Service is excellent. What more can I say? read more

We did not eat here. The sign on the highway says "Simply the best steak in town". Yeah, except, when we sat down, the said, "Sorry, we don't serve steak here. Maybe other days; I can't tell you when. Today, only fish and tapas.". Hm. Unfortunate. read more
