    Super Expensive for a very ordinary Spanish tapas bar. Wine collection is measly and very expensive. Service OK. Very congested to sit comfortably.

    Nice spot for tapas. Service was fast and courteous. Outside seating in the summer time also available however it's right next to a busy road .

    (Translated by Google) A Spanish name and Spanish music do not make a Spaniard. The aoli ​​tastes like Aldi, a little more garlic, but not acceptable. The gambas boring. The supposedly warm tappas were lukewarm. All in all too expensive, too bad and not recommended. There are much better ones here in Cologne. (Original) Ein spanischer Name und spanische Musik machen noch keinen Spanier. Die Aoli schmeckt wie von Aldi, zwar etwas mehr Knoblauch, aber nicht akzeptabel. Die Gambas langweilig. Die angeblich warmen Tappas waren handwarm. Alles im allem zu teuer zu schlecht und nicht empfehlenswert. Hier gibt es wesentlich bessere in Köln.

    Great. Really good.

  • 3/5 Sergij Plevin (. 5 years ago on Google • 63 reviews
    Good tapas. Reasonable prices. Don't expect to have proper drinks there though, it's wine and beer only. But if that's your thing then it's worth checking out.

  • 4/5 Esra D. 2 years ago on Google • 31 reviews
    I like this place because they have tasty sparkling wine. I think they could improve the tapas options and add more vegan and vegetarian options too. The staffs were very nice last time. You can also reserve table online.

  • 4/5 Rodolfo L. 6 years ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Very Good! If you are looking for rent space for a party (25 people or more) with drinks, good food, good service and very nice ubication. This work very well for us.

  • 3/5 Bastian M. 5 years ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Good place to share a drink with friends, but food is nothing to write home about: limited menu (part. for vegetarians), served in a chaotic fashion (no extra dishes to put the tapas on when sharing, small forks available, at least when we visited).

  • 5/5 Álvaro 1 year ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Tapas bar, extraordinarily good food. I'm Spanish and the food was even better than the tapas I have in Spain. Super recommended. Very good price-quality relation.

  • 5/5 Sabrina P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Sarah H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I can not understand the positive reviews. If you have really eaten Spanish well, you can not find these tapas good. They arrived about 3 minutes after ordering and were only lukewarm. The pots were hot, the food was not. Very moderately seasoned and no great quality. I'm sorry, I do not often rate restaurants but here I was so grossly disappointed that there is no other way. Shrimp in oil and fried potato is not rocket science, you have to do some wrong when it comes out. The only plus was the service, which was really very friendly. (Original) Ich kann die positiven Rezensionen leider nicht nachvollziehen. Wer wirklich schon gut spanisch gegessen hat kann diese Tapas nicht gut finden. Sie kamen ungefähr 3 Minuten nach der Bestellung und waren nur lauwarm. Die Töpfchen waren heiß, das Essen darin nicht. Sehr verhalten gewürzt und auch keine tolle Qualität. Tut mir Leid, ich bewerte nicht oft Restaurants aber hier war ich so maßlos enttäuscht dass es nicht anders geht. Garnelen in Öl und frittierte Kartoffel ist kein Hexenwerk, man muss einiges falsch machen wenn das dabei rauskommt. Einziger Pluspunkt war der Service, der war wirklich sehr freundlich.

  • 3/5 Ray L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was as always delicious, but we had a table in the middle of the room, so that either the waitress or other guests constantly pushed my chair. The service also did not impress as regards friendliness and also forgot an order. (Original) Das Essen war wie immer sehr lecker, wir hatten allerdings einen Tisch mitten im Raum, so dass entweder die Bedienung oder andere Gäste ständig an meinen Stuhl stießen. Die Bedienung überzeugte auch nicht was Freundlichkeit angeht und hat zudem eine Bestellung vergessen.

  • 4/5 Alex 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great value for money and very good sangria. Otherwise the classics among the tapas. Friendly staff, even if the "beer garden" is more of an outside area on a main street, but that is a detail and you can really look past here. (Original) Preis-Leistung super und sehr gute Sangria. Sonst die Klassiker unter den Tapas. Freundliches Personal, auch wenn der "Biergarte" eher ein Außenbereich an einer Hauptstraße ist, aber das ist ein Detail und man kann hier wirklich gut vorbei schauen.

  • 5/5 Edgar B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In this area such a quality at a very fair price - I would not have expected. First-class prepared tapas, a red wine for kneeling and a brisk, eloquent service. You can not get more anywhere! (Original) In dieser Gegend eine solche Qualität zu einem sehr fairen Preis - hätte ich nicht erwartet. Erstklassig zubereitete Tapas, eine Rotwein zum Niederknien und ein flotter, eloquenter Service. Mehr kriegst du nirgendwo!

    (Translated by Google) Super store, super Cava, great atmosphere - oh yeah ... @vorbewerter the rest -> Who ... tingles want to drink a glass of tap water in the left bank of Cologne had better treat the saved tip still a Calgontab it then determines more beautiful than the Cava ... (Original) Super Laden, super Cava, super Stimmung - achja...im übrigen @vorbewerter -> wer im linksrheinischen Köln ein Glas Leitungswasser trinken will sollte sich lieber vom gesparten Trinkgeld noch ein Calgontab dabei gönnen... prickelt dann bestimmt noch schöner als der Cava...

  • 1/5 Tobias J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pity! Missed the chance.... We have been there several times but will not go there anymore. The waiters can not even reach for a glass of water from the tap. Refers to the mineral water on the map. I find that regrettable, although we have consumed for over 100, - €. When giving tips, the lady was probably not enough (we have given only 5%). With a disappointed look we were "dismissed". But now that I have read the answers to all the owner's comments that are not too positive, I could have really saved my comment. I actually expected the owners to handle it professionally. The way in which answers to non-positive remarks suggest a capacity for criticism, which in turn speaks for itself. (Original) Schade! Chance vertan.... Wir waren nun schon öfters da, werden aber nicht mehr hingehen. Die Bedienungen dürfen noch nicht einmal ein Glas Wasser aus dem Wasserhahn reichen. Man verweist auf das Mineralwasser auf der Karte. Das finde ich bedauerlich, obwohl wir für über 100,-€ konsumiert haben. Bei der Gabe von Trinkgeld war es der Dame wohl nicht genug (wir haben nur 5% gegeben). Mit einem enttäuschten Blick wurden wir "entlassen". Nachdem ich nun aber auch die Antworten auf alle für den Inhaber nicht all zu positiv wirkenden Bewertungen gelesen habe, hätte ich mir mein Kommentar wirklich sparen können. Ich hatte tatsächlich erwartet, dass die Inhaber damit professionell umgehen. Die Art und Weise der Antworten auf nicht-positive Bemerkungen lassen auf eine Kritikfähigkeit schließen, die wiederum für sich spricht.

The five stars are earned and I will eventually come back. (Original) Es ist schon eine gefühlte Ewigkeit her, dass ich hier einen Abend verbracht habe.

  • 5/5 J H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was to die for and the service very friendly. The only thing to complain about is the long wait for the drinks and unfortunately we forgot to place an order. It was immediately apologized, so I see no reason to withdraw a star. (Original) Das Essen war ein Traum und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Das Einzige was zu beanstanden wäre ist die lange Wartezeit auf die Getränke und leider wurde eine Bestellung von uns auch vergessen. Es wurde sich aber direkt entschuldigt, deshalb sehe ich keinen Grund dafür einen Stern abzuziehen.

    I've been here for 2nd time in one year, and will come again. Tapas - very tasty, service - very great, location - excellent. For sure one of my fav place in Köln. P.S. Previous design in restaurant was better though :) I missed empty bottles at the wall.
