    La Tranca - Vermouth and complimentary Olives

    It's loud and cozy and what you expect for a smaller, local Bar…read more Got here around 8 on a Monday evening and it was like a competition to get to the Bar to place an order. Give one of the Bartenders a wave and that's about it. Ordered a Vermouth to start-local and tasty. I wanted to try the Flamenquin and asked what other Tapa is a good one to try (smaller). The kind Bartender suggested the Zucchini Tortilla. Solid Omelette with Zucchini and very good (but it isn't really small). Star of the show was the Flamenquin (and this alone would've been enough unless sharing) Pork with peppers breaded and fried with a side of Patatas-excellent and I haven't seen this one anywhere else locally. Friendly people behind the Bar. Just gently navigate your way to the Bar for your order-friendly local crowd. Surprisingly, they slowed down shortly after I arrived. Must be Holiday on a Monday night effect.

    I had read about this tapas bar on Trip Advisor and we decided to stop here for something to…read moreeat...the place was packed around 5pm.....definitely light crowd, according to our server Dani. It gets really busy after 8pm. We eventually got some free room at the bar and we ordered several nice tapas to eat along with some cañas (small glasses of beer). She gave us Victoria which is a Malaga beer brand and it was really good... The place was loud, lively and fun. A really cool place to stop by if you are in the area.

    This place is probably a bit of a tourist trap, but we ended up here since they had seating and…read morewere serving food as early as 6:30pm, which is *extremely* early for Spanish dinner. To their credit, the service was the "best" (most attentive, by US standards) of almost anywhere we've been in Spain so far. That said, the food was average and at least partially frozen-reheated. The cod and oxtail were both cooked pretty well, but didn't come out entirely hot. I'm pretty sure the roast potatoes with most dishes were frozen/reheated since they were a bit sqiushy, and so were the green peas and such. Bread came automatically but was commercial and nothing special. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't especially great either.

    I'm usually skeptical when a tour guide gives a restaurant recommendation but I'm really glad I…read moreaccepted this one. A classic Spanish tapas bar, noisy and chaotic. The weight staff was impressive, recognizing new arrivals in the crowded quickly getting us drinks, taking care of everything after a couple of beers, we got a table. (Note that the restaurant is on both sides of the pedestrian street! ) Our waiter was cheerful and amusing. Although we mostly spoke Spanish, his English was quite good in the din of the small room. Better was the food . A really pleasant surprise. A major plus is the atmosphere which feels really authentically Spanish with a largely local crowd that night. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

    We went for tapas and great tapas we got!…read more We had the beans in the little clay pots, we also split a machete anchovy sandwich (so good) and pimento stuffed olives. Plus the house vermut. It did not disappoint. The place is super busy (for a good reason) but the staff still managed to help us pick what we wanted. This is what a tapas place is supposed to be.. The bar is beautiful and those barrels of house made vermut made it look and feel so authentic.

    This is a little tapas bar that is popular with the locals. We got a ton of food (1 small sandwich,…read moreone large sandwich, 2 croquettes, and 2 "free with drink" tapas) and 2 drinks (beer and vermouth) for only 10,80 Euros. Whooooa. What a steal!!! The downsides - they don't really speak English, the menu is Spanish only, and it's crowded and standing room only type of bar - so it's hard to get the attention of the bartenders if you don't speak Spanish or don't know how to navigate a Spanish tapas bar. The food was ok in terms of quality, nothing super delicious but not bad either. Just average. But the value was phenomenal. The free tapas options that come w your drink(s) are a saucy rice & meat dish w bread or a mushroom dish with bread. The mushrooms looked canned (ew) so we went with the rice/meat/veggies dish which was pretty good.

    Guillermo Lorenzo is a small-scale worker of miracles…read more Guillermo is the chef and proprietor at De Locos Tapas, and what he does at this tiny spot is difficult to believe until you experience it. He is the owner, chef, front-of-the-house guy, and server, all at the same time. How a guy who wears so many hats manages to conceive of and produce such a large variety of small-scale gourmet items at prices this low is beyond me. Our first encounter with Mr. Lorenzo actually wasn't too great. I'd earlier attempted to reserve a table through De Locos's website, but never received a response (we were in Spain without phone service, so I couldn't call ahead, and we'd just arrived at our hotel). So we trekked over to the restaurant without a reservation and waited around for the place to open at 7:30 pm in order to try our luck. When we walked in and explained our situation, Mr. Lorenzo frankly was not very friendly or welcoming, even though no other diners were present at the time. But he led us upstairs to a table nonetheless, explaining that he would need our table by 9:30. As soon as we were seated, though, the rather surly version of Mr. Lorenzo switched off like a light, and the excellent, gregarious impresario version of Mr. Lorenzo switched on. What happened over the next couple of hours was just about the best dining experiences we'd ever had at prices this low. He brought us plate after plate of wonderfully composed and almost uniformly delicious, mostly non-traditional tapas, which we ordered off of a handwritten-in-English menu (see the attached photos). While simultaneously perfectly pacing everything and playing the consummate cosmopolitan, hospitable, charming restaurant host. (A native of Bilbao with a globe-trotting resume and excellent English, he told us former New Orleans residents that his grandmother was born in New Orleans.) I've attached photos of the menu from that night, and, frankly, at this late date, I can't remember everything we had. But the ox cheeks, lamb tagine, smoked duck, oyster Bloody Mary, seabass ceviche, and red tuna tataki stood out. Everything was terrific, though, with the possible exception of the piquillo pepper stuffed with crab, which was just kind of mushy. We're not the biggest dessert eaters, but the Bailey's ice cream was terrific as well. All of this beautiful stuff, plus a couple of drinks each, set us back less than 40 euro, which just seems like an impossibly good deal. P.S. De Locos isn't all that easy to find if you're staying in the main, touristy part of Ronda. You've got to head south down the main road from the old town toward the Barrio San Francisco. Just before the road bends right as you're looking at the rather imposing Iglesia del Espiritu Santo, drop down the "ramp" on the left to the Calle Espiritu Santo, which leads to a little triangular square just inside the wall. When you get to the square, hang a left. De Locos is a the end of the row of buildings, facing the wall and square. (We went on All Saints Day, missed the "ramp," and ended up in the big square in San Francisco, where masses of locals were assembled for festivities. That got us totally turned around...)

    I had a lovely meal here, large part of it which was due to the friendliness of the owner. I was…read moreable to grab the last open table (outside) as a solo diner, but would definitely recommend making a reservation as I saw multiple parties get turned away. The menu seems to have not changed much over the years, so many of the older reviews hold true. I started with a drink of sangria which I would skip if doing it again (it's a large drink and on the more liquor heavy side). I got (from most to least favorite): Foie gras - Don't miss this. Yes you can get foie gras everywhere but the one here is stellar. Perfectly seared, juicy and sprinkled with a few grains of salt, and paired with a passion fruit sorbet (tbh could have done without the sorbet). I was skeptical about ordering this but wow it was so good. Smoked duck carpaccio - The smoked duck on its own was good but not stunning, but when eaten as it's meant to be eaten (on top of toast and sweet jam), it's delicious. Recommended. Truffle eggs - I like soft boiled eggs and tbh this was just a good soft boiled egg. Didn't taste much truffle but did taste the jamon on top. Yummy but not a must get. Beef cheek - Conflicted about this one, the beef was very tender and very good, but it had an odd flavor that I didn't love. Also on the heavier end, and by the time I got to this dish, I was pretty stuffed so couldn't eat much of it. Quail's nest - I got this more for the novelty as I saw many photos of it. Pretty but not super flavorful, and hard to eat. Finished with the chocolate truffles, which are covered with dried mangos. They were good (rich and chocolately) but not something mind blowing as some reviews led me to believe. All in all, I enjoyed my meal here, and prices are quite affordable given what they're trying to do. In general, felt like they were trying to do a twist on each dish, which was appreciated, even if they didn't always work. But it's a refreshing find to find something like this in a small town like Ronda.

The…read moreatmosphere is rustic (almost American western) but features a pretty neat menu with bites we had yet to experience. We started the meal with some sangrias. Admittedly they were a little weak but the fresh fruits on top were a nice touch, especially the muscat grape! My favorites of the night was one of the fatty slices of pork off the "from the land" sampler (possibly the pork dewlap) and the torrenzos. The dewlap was tender and so flavorful! Their aged Cecina de león was also very good. The burrata and caper berries were my favorite additional accoutrements on this platter. As for the torrenzo, wow! It was sliced crispy pork belly served with a sweet and sour green mojo sauce. You should definitely try this dish. For a unique dish, we opted for the courgette pappardelle which were thin slices of zucchinis marinated in citrus, pineapple gel, pesto, and pepitas. It seemed so simple but it was super refreshing! When it came to service, it was slow. Definitely an at your pace kind of spot. If you don't wave the staff over, they will not come. Period. When we left close to 9:30pm there was a long line out the door so it's clearly a popular spot! Glad we came!

We ordered the red sangria which I really enjoyed but there is a lot of ice so you might want to tell them to go easy on the ice. The bathrooms were clean and beautifully decorated as well as the Decour of the restaurant. We had a lot of dishes but I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything. We ate: The octopus (2 days in a row!) The pork ribs on the bone The meat and burrata platter Service was nice and well paced. They didn't rush us, but heads up- bring a person that speaks Spanish because in this part of town their English is limited.
