Listen... this is the most honest review you're going to get. This place is not worth it. This was my first Tablao experience and, if I didn't know any better, it would be my last. Food was extremely average. Not very hard to serve veggies and mashed potatoes. The meat and dessert were eh. The table height and the seats were quite uncomfortable. The servers were great (only thing really keeping this review alive). The performance felt boring and tacky and honestly I couldn't wait for it to be over. I hate giving bad reviews, but honestly I felt it was a waste. Tip: read through some of the other reviews because they suggest other Tablao places that are probably much better.

We booked this tour via Viator. We got the show and tapas and 1 drink per person. I was expecting small plates and to my surprise, the number of dishes just kept on coming. We had salmon tartare, tomato gazpacho, boneless duck, cod fish, mousse cake, etc. For drink, you can choose wine, beer, sangria, soda or water. The food was so much that you can basically call it dinner. Trust me. It's pretty good for the price. Now the show was absolutely amazing and it was our first time to a flamenco show. All the performance and music were on point and LIVE. The mixtures of performers (man as well) were exciting to watch. They dance with extreme passion and it shows on stage. We got there at 6pm and the show started around 7 for about little over an hour. Definitely highly recommended and it will receive a 5 stars from me.

Located within walking distance of the Cathredral of Seville. I made reservations via our concierge at the AC hotel - who suggested this Flamenco dancing show over another venue. They have two shows nightly. Since many of the restaurants were on siesta, I chose the early show with no dinner option but included one drink. The theater is small and seats less than 50 people - intimately romantic. The dancers were incredibly talented as well as the musicians. Every instrument was acoustical and nothing electrical.The entertainers were so intense and passionate - they were perspiring profusely while dancing, singing and played for several hours. I'm glad we made it a point to attend this show because it was cultural and entertaining in a great atmosphere. I would recommend this venue if you plan on visiting Seville. I enjoyed it so much I purchased the the DVD too! Check out the online video from U tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcny1psZ8VU

El Arenal has a combo Flamenco and dinner show. There are 2 shows per night at 8PM and 10PM The food included in the ticket price was a meat & cheese plate, 3 tapas, dessert, and a drink. You can order additional items at extra cost. Nothing too memorable about the food, but the Flamenco show was very entertaining. You can see some of the fuzzy pictures that we took with no flash or other pictures on their website.

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND GOING HERE IF YOU'RE IN SEVILLA!!! We did the full dinner and show (buy the tickets early and online, you'll get it almost 50% cheaper compared to the door price) and enjoyed the food, the drinks and the dance so much. They serve you a 4 four course dinner along with a bottle of wine. You can pick your courses from their menu once you arrive. I got the chicken Milanese and was extremely happy with my choice. You can also choose to just have a drink and enjoy the show. But I would recommend the dinner and show. It was a great meal! The show was intense, emotional and mesmerizing!! Best flamenco we have seen so far in Spain. Dress nicely! You'll be greeted by the servers in suits and tux. Most people are nicely dressed with a few exceptions. DO NOT take pics inside of the performers , people apparently get kicked out for that. I wish we could go back again during our trip, but I hope to be back here if I'm in Sevilla again.

Knowing we were going to eat a lot during a food tour, we settled on some small tapas (ham, cheese, bread, and olives) and got some sangria and a beer. We sat at the bar and I was able to practice my Spanish with the bartender. The ham was a generous portion and I loved watching them cut it behind the bar! Very fun and old establishment-y vibes. Wish we could've tried more on the menu if we didn't have other plans!

I came here due to a yelp recommendation because like most westerners unaccustomed to the Spanish way of living I was hungry at about 7 pm and needed something to eat. Yay yelp to the rescue. The place was crowded and there were no seats available when I arrived. There were many small groups congregated around tables and a few couples as well. It isn't obvious how to proceed once you come in the door so I probably stood there awkwardly for a few minutes near the door before making my way to the bar to what looked to be a vacant seat. A gentleman informed me that it belonged to his girlfriend so I was forced to now stand awkwardly next to the bar. Bar tender to the rescue explaining that if I waited he was pretty sure someone would leave soon and I could order a drink while I waited. I ordered a sangria and also inquired about food but was told that I need to have an actual seat in order to order food. After nursing my drink for about 20 mins when I was about to pay and head out to find somewhere else to eat, a spot finally opened up and I was treated to the most delicious steak and potatoes and zucchini tapas. This had to be one of the most delicious things I have eaten on this vacation. When I finally vacated my seat to save a pair of new arrivals, there was a line outside of people waiting for the opportunity to eat here. I might chance it again before I leave Seville. I highly recommend for the food and friendly waiters but wish there was a way to turn seats over more quickly. One guy kept insisting he was saving his girlfriend's seat but in the 90 mins I spent there she never showed up. Who knows if she ever existed. Bread comes free with your tapas order and really complimented the meal.

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.

The food across the board was very good, but the Carrillada Ibérica con Parmentier de Patata really stood out (Iberian pork cheek). It was tender and full of flavor, and the potato parmentier balanced it perfectly. It was easily the most memorable dish we ordered. Service was friendly and relaxed, and we felt comfortable dining there as a family. Overall, a solid spot in Seville that we were happy to return to.

The layout can be a bit confusing, as the restaurant seems to have three dining rooms with separate entrances but only one kitchen. Where we sat was charming, with stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. We started with the foie appetizer, which was a delightful surprise for my palate. It was a unique combination of foie, cream cheese, and what I believe was pear. It was unusual, but I ended up really enjoying it. The zucchini noodles with pesto and burrata were also very enjoyable. However, the star of our dinner was the 40 day dry aged ribeye, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, and absolutely delicious. If we had discovered it sooner, I would have happily eaten here a second time.

This was an excellent meal!…read more My family tried the croquettes, a pumpkin starter, the 100-day aged iberico steak, the cod, the mushroom risotto, and 2 dessert. The star was obviously the 100-day aged steak. It was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious with a little bit of funk. And my grandpa was a cattle rancher so I've had quite a bit of steak in my life. 9.5/10 The pumpkin dish was also exceptional. 9/10 The risotto was the perfect compliment. Wow. Great texture and flavor. 9/10 The croquettes were good, I didn't like the mayo on top. 8/10 The dessert that was essentially a bread pudding was absolutely delicious.i barely tried the orange dessert but it tasted like a Pillsbury orange cinnamon roll. Dessert and service were 10/10

I spooned this out til the last drop. The bread was also so good. Perfect afternoon food! The drink and soup were exceptional. The only thing that bothered me was that other than my sever who was nice, rest of the staff seemed kinda rude and not very friendly. Food was great though! Loved the location .
