If you ever wondered what authentic Spanish tapas are, you need to go here. The variety of tapas is great, including some very topical Spanish ones. The service is good as long as you don't expect much table service (you have to go up and choose your tapas anyway). Usually I would recommend a dish or mention ones to stay away from, but every single dish was excellent! It's always very full so go early if you want to get a table. If you're just a couple or so then I recommend sitting at the bar.

Amazing food, great wine, magnificent service. Best food we've have had in Benidorm.

The pintxos (small snack or tapas) bar in the heart of Benidorm. Pintxos are typical for north of spain. However, in Benidorm we managed to find such a bar. They had a wide variety of tapas around the bar, and we could select and even get some cooked if needed. Among the many pintxos we ordered, the highlight was the crispy and delicious one made from lamb intestines. The staff seemed busy and not overly friendly but tried to be helpful. The lively atmosphere was accompanied by loud music.

At the end of Tapas alley, open from noon till midnight. Most recognisable for its hanging hams, the food here is consistently good. None of the Tapas bars here are particularly big so you might have to wait for a seat but it's definitely worth the wait. Lovely to just do people watching whilst eating and drinking.

Made a reservation but it was on a side salon, not the tavern. It didn’t specify on the website. Very loud and hot. Quite expensive for what it was. I ordered “Jamón” and it was 25€ for it which is ridiculous. Quite disappointing experience.

Well worth a visit if you are in the Old Town of Benidorm. Tucked away in Tapas Alley this little gem is a great find. Service is with a smile and the staff are welcoming and friendly. We had tapas and the local red wine and thoroughly enjoyed. Returning again before we leave to go home.

We waited almost an hour for the pizzcas(Tabla 16) and these arrived lukewarm. Wine was good tho.

Great choice of tapas, great value in a wonderful location

Tasty tapas, nice, cosy place, full of people, good wines and very pleasant service from the waiter Miguel. We will definitely revisit!

Lots of choices of tapas, quality above average. Nice place to take a quick bite and continue explore the city

I love your tapas me and my family come many times but your staff are miserable, very rude,laughing and talking about you from the counter and the big lady walking about serving customers behind the bar wearing a wooly winter hat !!! She could smile a little too,as a bar owner you really need to review your ataffs manners towards your clients. Starting with a hello and thank you and goodbye,pretending also they don't know what your saying.its a pity cause you have a fabulous buisness and we will come back,also you never seem to see who is the boss or manager on each shift,maybe this would help.thanks

Quite a lot of Oily ponchos but thays fine as you can choose easily what to have as everything Is displayed. It just would have been nice if one of the waitresses smiled at some point. Really miserable service. Took us so long to try and pay.l we felt like walking off.

Honestly I was expecting better tapas. They were way too big for "finger food" and same of them tasteless (like the 3fried balls in a stick with cheese and shrimps where the shrimps were invisible). I didn't like them so much and I find it expensive as a tapas restaurant. If you are starving and you just finished a big walk you are gonna find it refreshing anyway! Just few tables to seat.

Crowded place, but it justifies because the tapas are delicious. Arrive early to find a spot! The staff is friendly and very helpful!

Great place, really nice tapas, 👍 very busy, which was great, good atmosphere, some staff very helpful, some not so . All in all good, but not your 1 euro tapa, I'd give it 8/10 please try this place.

Wasn't massively impressed by either the food or the service. The food was so so, nothing spectacular, expected much better. The prawns were good, the black pudding was actually delicious but the sauce the snails came in was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like ditch water, very musty, they had used too much smoked paprika and there was no sweetness - it didn't go with the snails, it needed something to lighten the flavour. The scallops were ok, if a little under cooked, the sauce had very little flavour. The belly pork was fine, nothing to write home about.

This was a great eat in the lanes of old town Benidorm.

Lovely food Terrible service The chorizo was to die for The guy behind the bar restocked soft drinks while 5 people waited for service so we left quicker than we normally would

Impressive selection of tapas in display. Decent sangria. Lively location, definitely a place to try out in Benidorm.

My belly is not big enough for all those best dishes . Amazing , delicious 😋

Excellent tapas bar in the old town. Food and drinks very reasonable and tasty. Last went here 11 years ago and it's just as good, if not better, now.

Amazing tapas food in a great location, the place was always bustling with people and the staff were friendly

Great tapas and nice location by the gay quarter. We had croquettes, king prawns in garlic, meatballs and chicken wings all were hot and freshly served 😋 The only grip we HD was acknowledgement by staff as we stood at counter for about 5 mins before anyone talked to us which to be honest was a bit rude as they weren't busy. Once served all went smoothly after that.

Great selection of tapas. It's a cozy place for tapas. There are a lot of bar seating and high chairs with tables around the bar to seat. The food quality is great and the service is good.

Great food, despite the price. €25 for a plate of Serrano ham was eye watering! In fairness it tasted amazing, as did the other tapas we ate here. Great place, will definitely go back if I ever go back to Benidorm

Great choice of tapas, all very tasty. Happily return again. Nice to sit at the bar and pick what you want. Reasonable priced too. 5* for the Ali Oli 😋

Ate here twice in 4 days,great authentic tapas and Spanish food.Atmosphere amazing,lots of Spaniards eating and drinking,our Venezuelan waiter Brian was great

Excellent food, friendly staff and small lunch with drinks for 5 was 31 euro! Would recommend wholeheartedly.

The best place so far we had amazing dishes in Benidorm! Congrats guys, your food is amazing, the atmosphere is fabulous and all the members of staff just brilliant! I can tell that we returning sooner that you can imagine! The 5 stars I easily could give! Thanks so much for this treat! Xxxx

Lovely food good service

Cool place with a nice selection of tapas

Fast and efficient. Very tasty dishes and good service. I recommend this restaurant. Wine also very good.

The restaurant is in a very busy complex of many small taperias. The tapas I had was nice but not that special. Quick and friendly service.

A great Spanish tapas joint with lots of choices (all on bread). However, the tempo is superhigh and the service is slow and stressed. People come and go in a high pace which does not suit anyone who wants a nice dinner. Go here for a quick snack and a beer and then leave.

Called here for lunch hadn't tried tapas before and really enjoyed it 10 Tapas 1&half beers Really enjoyed it ...clean friendly staff

Been here many times before, glad to see the standards are kept high and an amazing selection of tapas. My favourite has to be the garlic and chilli prawns

Excellent went through the white wine selection wow who knew that food could influence the taste of the wine so much. Fabulous

Very busy so a little wait for food but we'll worth it. We had a set lunch of 4 hot and 4 cold plus cider for €18 between us. Nothing not delicious. Definitely going back for more

Definitely the best place to visit and have a little dinner as a traveler. Love it. My favorite dish was Beef in tomato sauce, also I recommend tasting the Cava wine 👌🏻

La Cava Argonesa is the best tapas bar,in my opinion, in Benidorm. The range of tapas is excellent add together the friendly staff and you've the best atmosphere. It's been going for years and should be on 'your to do list' 50 metres from the sea front.

Our favourite tapas bar. Just sit at the bar with a beer or glass of wine and let your eyes do the walking across the glass fronted counter cabinets stuffed full of delicious foods. A must do.

Authentic with a great atmosphere .. reasonable prices. Always a pleasure to go there. Lovely Tapas and wine, you couldn't ask for anything more in lovely Spain .

Tasty tapas at this lively little place. Ham croquettes and octopus were our stand out dishes. Crisp dry white wine was a great partner. Our waiter was very attentive and funny.

Really vibrant place in old town. Great staff and good food.

This is one of my favourite restaurants anywhere in the world (and I've been to a fair few) and, for value for money, is outstanding. Very authentic feeling, staff are very efficient and friendly, and the food is nothing short of 5 stars. I try and eat here at least twice whenever I'm in Benidorm.

Great variety Tapas bar. Lots of seats at the bar area and around but does get busy so u need to grab your seats. Selection of cold ready and hot to cook.
