    The service was quick and attentive. The food was okay, but not overwhelmingly good. Atmosphere was nice. We went spontaneously on an early Sunday evening and didn't encounter any problem in getting a table for two. We even got offered one for four. While eating, the restaurant filled, though. Probably, it's just been the grace of an early dinner. Still, being offered a larger table than necessary was interesting.

    (Translated by Google) We made a short-term reservation with Google on the weekend trip. When we were there we had to wait a little longer for the table, but it wasn't a problem. The service is very hard-working and friendly. The food was really delicious and small complaints (cheese balls were still cold) were immediately implemented in a friendly manner and even some were added. Nice little shop with freshly prepared and very tasty food. At the end I have a schnapps on the house as "sorry". We recommend! (Original) Wir haben beim Wochenendtrip kurzfristig mit Google reserviert. Als wir dort waren, haben wir noch etwas auf den Tisch warten müssen, war aber kein Problem. Der Service ist sehr bemüht und freundlich. Das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker und kleine Reklamationen (Käsebällchen waren noch kalt) wurden sofort freundlich umgesetzt und sogar noch welche drauf gelegt. Hübscher, kleiner Laden mit frisch zubereitetem und sehr leckerem Essen. Zum Schlusd hab es zur "Entschuldigung" noch einen Schnaps aufs Haus. Sehr zu empfehlen!

    Ambience is good. Staff is friendly. Tapas are quite small portions for the amount you pay. We ordered 6 different ones, 3 of them are salty. Others are just average., overall the experience was just okay. Not sure why reviews are so great, May be they never tried real tapas ? Bread is free ..

    The owner was funny and very nice! Food tasty and prices affordable. All in all a great place to come back to. It would be great if there were more meat items (pork and beef) on the menu.

    Wonderful restaurant - my favorite meal in Koln! The food was delicious and the owner was so friendly and kind. He even gave my friend and me one of his metal spoons when we took dessert to go, because he didn't have any disposable ones 🥺❤️. Definitely worth a visit!

    (Translated by Google) Central location, easy to reach and really very hospitable hosts! The tapas, mostly frozen, dressing sauces etc were bought. Not very original. Come here for a sangria!

Kommt hier gern auf einen Sangria rein!

  • 4/5 C.A. L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very friendly staff. Food was good. However, I do not go to the Spaniard to eat there as we Germans would like. If you stay more yourself and don't adjust too much, then it would be perfect. (Original) Personal sehr freundlichen. Essen war gut. Ich gehe jedoch nicht zum Spanier um dort so zu essen wie wir Deutschen es gerne hätten. Bleibt mehr ihr selbst und passt euch nicht zu sehr an, dann wäre es perfekt.

  • 4/5 Michael T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice ambience and helpful staff. Food rather middle class if you know tapas from Spain. Anchovies and prawns are highly recommended. Bravas very atypical in terms of size (are very small) and sauce, papas arrugadas without mojo, a shame. I would give 3.5 *, but all in all rounded up to 4 * :) (Original) Nettes Ambiente und hilfsbereites Personal. Essen eher Mittelklasse wenn man Tapas aus Spanien kennt. Sardellen und Gambas sehr empfehlenswert. Bravas sehr untypisch was Größe (sind sehr klein) und Sauce angeht, Papas arrugadas ohne Mojo, schade. 3.5* würde ich geben, aber alles in allem auf 4* aufgerundet :)

  • 5/5 David C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's an inconspicuous restaurant with a comparatively small menu. On the other hand, the dishes are extremely tasty and the service is remarkably friendly. (Original) Es ist ein unscheinbares Restaurant mit einer vergleichsweise kleinen Karte. Dafür sind die Gerichte ausgesprochen schmackhaft und die Bedienung bemerkenswert freundlich.

    (Translated by Google) Hello everyone, we were eating at Arriba 1 week ago. The tapas were served very fresh and delicious! The tarta de queso is now my favorite cheesecake: D The waiter was very warm and super nice! If you go to the toilet, you can take a look into the kitchen, which I think is very good, everything was hygienic and clean! Definitely the best tapas restaurant in Cologne !!! We will come to eat here more often! (Original) Hallo zusammen, wir waren vor 1 Woche im Arriba essen. Die Tapas waren sehr frisch serviert und super lecker!!! Die Tarta de Queso ist jetzt mein Lieblings Käsekuchen :D Der Kellner ist sehr herzlich und super nett gewesen!

Wir werden hier öfters essen kommen!

    The place was very small and has it own charm. However, and this where the bad starts all my food was microwaved I could see the cook getting the food in and out at fast pace from the microwave. I sat in the corner where you can see what was happening in the kitchen. So, from the meatlball to the squid as well as the patatas bravas all microwaved. Avoid the place. You do not want to eat MW reheated food.
