    I came here and the waiter said the food was fresh and recently made, in fact, it wasn't and I just couldn't even finish it. The squid taste like gum , Morcilla was sour. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for authentic tapas.

    Very recomendable if you want to taste some authentic Spanish tapas and some good wine. We order octopus and I give it an 8 out of ten. truly you will find a wide range of choices. Service could be better. Prices are acceptable considering the location.

    (Translated by Google) The portions are no longer as generous as before. The price a bit high, the quality ........ On the other hand, you have to take more care of the WC, unfortunately, I was very surprised. Quality and service must be online, careless, clean toilets but with a "0" maintenance, do not go according to the price of consumption. Take care of the image, which is worth more than everything that is said here. (Original) Las raciones ya no son tan generosas como antes. El precio un poco alto, la calidad........ Por otro lado, hay que cuidar más los WC, lamentable, me sorprendió mucho. Calidad y servicio deben estar en línea, unos aseos descuidados, limpios pero con un mantenimiento "0", no van acorde con el precio de las consumiciones. Cuiden la imagen, que vale mas que todo lo que se diga aquí.

    We think we need to go back to order other dishes. For this particular visit, we had padron peppers, deep fried squid, and pulpo (🐙). It was filling, and the vibe of the place was warm and cozy.

    A unique Tapas restaurant with delicious Squid as their specialty. It can get very busy so it's good to be patient. I suggest you order plenty when it's your turn. All of the choices are available for you to see and the staff is glad to explain what they are. Excellent lime beer on tap and definitely one of the best casual dining options in Barcelona.

    (Translated by Google) I had been there for a long time and I had a great memory ........ what a great disappointment ........ the food .... we didn't get to try it ...... after half an hour trying to either of the two waiters would answer us or look us in the face when we talked to him, we got them to do it but in very bad ways ......... or little personal or unprofessional ... we went to not return ....... by the way we hit Bodega Vasconia in Carrer Gignas .... (Original) habia estado hacia tiempo y guardaba un gran recuerdo........que gran decepcion........la comida....no llegamos a probarla......tras media hora tratando de que alguno de los dos camareros nos respondiera o nos mirara a la cara cuando le hablabamos, logramos que lo hicieran pero de muy malas maneras.........o poco personal o poco profesional........nos fuimos para no volver.......por cierto acertamos en Bodega Vasconia en carrer Gignas....

    If you want to eat octopus this is the place. I recommend pulpo in la pancha.

  • 5/5 Karka C. 1 year ago on Google
    That tapas bar was the best I had ever been! I think the prices are low comparing the amount of food you'll get and quality. The local has very friendly, 'Spanish' character and its not elegant in good way. The atmosphere is very relaxed which I believe makes the atmosphere of this place. I really recommend, you'll be surprise how good is that food

  • 3/5 Ernesto F. 11 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere of the place is unique, a bunch of happy faces around, however a bit dissatisfied with the food. To play safe, just go for Callos. Those were amazing. The experience wasn't the best, the first waiter was a bit off, not really happy to see customers coming in, then there was a change of roster so our plates took long time to get to the table. I noticed my tortilla was placed in the microwave, and then after the microwave did its job nature worked to unheat the meal just because the tortilla was sitting in there for ages before I asked the new waiter about it... the result was a cold and flat spanish tortilla... Will I go back? I don't think so, but if you are after the experience then (once again), refer to the callos and have some drinks (those are quite cheap)

    Was walking and randomly stumbled upon this place, wow it was the best restaurant I went to in Barcelona. Local, authentic, and great price. The octopus was the best I ate in my life, I don’t say that lightly. It was tender, but crispy at the same time and the garlic butter on top was amazing. I don’t understand why it doesn’t have higher reviews, it was my best experience. Please go and try it you won’t be disappointed.

  • 2/5 Grosperrin L. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been to this place multiple times as I live just above, and although the food is good, the experience is systematically ruined by how self-righteous and pretentious one of the guys working there is. Sometimes you may wait up to 30 minutes before any drinks or food arrive to the table, and he will always find a way to justify himself or tell you that you're being impatient. If you want to eat octopus or other traditional Galician meals there are plenty of other restaurants in the neighbourhood where you won't be treated like sh*t by (one member of) the staff.

    Delicious food, a very local vibe. One good tip; the menus are in the wall, you are expected to know what to order then the waiter. Try the baby calamari and potatoes "bravas". Drinks are also priced very reasonably, 2 Euros for a glass of wine.

    Simple, high-quality and delicious tapas. The pulpo is obviously a must try here! Order whatever you want, as you can't wrong with a dish here.

    Service was good and the staff spoke decent English. Sangria tasted really nice. Octopus was fresh and nicely done. Pricing is reasonable. Recommended place for a quick snack break.

  • 4/5 Viviane Lima de M. 2 years ago on Google
    Simple place, yet great food options. My hisband had the octopus, clams and fried squid. I tried the only two vegan options of the menu: bread with tomatos and patatas bravas. Ok overall.

  • 5/5 Somin P. 1 year ago on Google

    Best food I had in 1 week BARCELONA ??? great authentic atmosphere, good prices, perfect location. Coming back for sure!!! Gracias amigos!

  • 5/5 Manuel Enrique Urquidi Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Have eaten here at least three times. The food is great for a very reasonable price. Their octopus and the potato tortilla española are great (the last one is different from what I have tried elsewhere in the good sense, try it). Make reservations or you might end in the basement where service is not as good and there is no view.

  • 5/5 Carlos J. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite place in Barcelona to eat the best octopus in town. The service is amazing and the location is just unreal.

    Our favorite bar in Barcelona! Each of our visits to Barcelona we come at least once to enjoy the tapas, sangria and atmosphere

  • 3/5 Blaž L. 6 months ago on Google
    Long waiting lines because of high ratings. Overrated. Food (tapas) average, they are heated in microwave in front of you, or refried just to get it warm. Really no need to go try tapas here, they are ok at best. Sangria on the other hand is really good!

  • 4/5 Monika 11 months ago on Google
    Very simple bar with nice food, especially the octopus. Don't expect a fancy place but since food is nice and it's very centric in the Raval It gets quite busy. The service was a bit messy, they don't give additional plates and things fall onto the table. However it's quite cheap so for that price it's more than ok. Galician food. Wine is served in ceramic cups.

  • 5/5 Paul F. 5 months ago on Google
    Perfect place for tapas and a drink, eaten in the traditional way (sat at the bar), at an unbeatable price for Barcelona. The octopus was the star of the show, closely followed by the black pudding. EVERYTHING was delicious. Some have complained about the service, but everyone was perfectly polite and friendly to me and my partner. You definitely need to be able to speak Spanish, their English is not good at all, but you're in Spain so 🤷

  • 5/5 Magdalena S. 6 months ago on Google
    Simple, authentic, local bar. Some nice tapas, cheap drinks, chilled vibes. It's rather basic/simple/old-fashioned but has its own kind of charm.

  • 5/5 Ebtissam W. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible food and great atmosphere at a very affordable price. We had 9 tapas with bread for a total of €65!!! You must try the Bouqueron Vinagre

  • 5/5 Nishan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Back again after 3 years and this tapas bar is as good as ever! It's changed very little on the years between my last visit. And as ever the food was good, the staff very friendly and the service efficient. A very down to earth place with a really wide selection of seafood tapas. The house wines here are also good, so you don't need to splurge on the more expensive ones really.

  • 4/5 Rui C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Could be better. Most things are pre-made which diminishes the overall quality. The sangria is barrel and has no quality. (Original) Podia ser melhor. A maior partes das coisas é pré feita o que diminui a qualidade geral. A sangria é de barril e não tem qualidade.

  • 4/5 Valentín D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I liked the place, although there was no one to enter (something that I evaluate when I choose a place to eat, if there is no one I usually do not enter, but here among the same), very rich octopus,. we ate at the bar, some canes and something else. Excellent attention. (Original) El lugar me gustó, si bien no había nadie al entrar (algo que evalúo cuando elijo un lugar para comer, si no hay nadie generalmente no entro, pero aca entre igual), muy rico el pulpo ,. comimos en la barra, unas cañas y a otra cosa.

    One of the best tapas (especially sea food) I have eaten, it is always so full, you have to wait a lot but it is definitely worth it! It's cozy and traditional. Self service makes it hard to order but be patient, you wont regret!
