    Bad service, and the food was just ok. I was extremely disappointed despite ensuring on their website that the restaurant is complying with COVID-19 restrictions, and they were not. They didn’t ensure that all the guests can keep at least one meter's distance from other people. I felt they were filling in the restaurant with as many people as possible, which made me feel extremely unsafe and extremely uncomfortable.. Answer to owner: Even if you literally followed Folkhälsomyndighetens’ rules, it was too crowded, and it definitely did not feel Corona safe. People who were placed in the same corner with me shared the same concern and left directly as they did not feel safe at your restaurant. As a part of the community, social distancing should be taken seriously! 🙏🏼

    Most homophobic place in Stockholm… I wish this review was about the food, but the manager did not allow us to give it a chance. We had ordered multiple plates per person and a bottle of wine and were about to order a second when the manager came over to our table and started harassing my friend because he “had a few buttons undone” and demanded that he button up. Funny enough, none of the 3 waiters we interacted with said anything, no one stopped us at the door, and no one mentioned a “dress code”. It was evident that the manager only went on the attack after some time had passed and it became evident my friend and his husband were gay. My friend told us to stay and enjoy our meal while he went elsewhere as we had already placed the order a while back, but we refused to stay. I’m surprised to find such a horrible place in Sweden in this day and age. If I could give it zero stars I would. This is a tapas bar on a street surrounded by bars and late night fast food, not a fine dining establishment. Extremely disappointed.

    Absolutely what it says on the sign, great Tapas, a wide choice with something for everyone, vegetarians well catered for. Outdoor sheltered seating street side is good for watching the world go by. Nice to see Spanish cerveza on the drinks list at reasonable prices. The whole thing was very tasty and not expensive for a capital city.

    Airy and atmospheric tapas on Södermalm. Inside and outside dining with good space between tables. Good menu with many classic tapas and large selection of wines, spirits and beers. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the prices were very reasonable.

    Went to Madrid TapasBar to celebrate my sister’s birthday. The visit unfortunately left a lot to be desired. While the food was decent, the service was absolutely terrible. It was very disorganized and we ended up waiting a ridiculous 50 minutes to receive our food. When they finally brought it out several items were still missing and we had to remind the staff a number of times. Even worse, it took 30 minutes for the staff to refill our water, which is a basic expectation that should have been taken care of much sooner. On top of that, we asked three different waiters to bring us another can of sangria, but it took a whopping 40 minutes for it to arrive (during which all of us were sitting with empty glasses). This showed a complete lack of communication and coordination among the staff, and left us feeling frustrated and ignored. We could tell that the staff knew they had messed up, but their attempts at compensation were woefully inadequate. On a bill of 3,700 SEK, they offered us only a jar of olives - hardly a satisfying resolution to our frustrating experience. Overall, while the food was decent, the awful service and disorganization ruined our dining experience. For a tapas restaurant, we expected the food to be served relatively quickly, but unfortunately we ended up waiting an unreasonable amount of time for everything. We left the restaurant feeling disappointed and frustrated, and it's a shame that such a potentially great dining experience was ruined by poor service and organization.

    They nailed it on the ambience-the food was acceptable if one intends to have their fix for tapas whilst away from Spain. Overall a good round the corner restaurant for a quick bite.

    We loved all the different Tapas. I especially recommend the eggplant, it was so delicious!

  • 4/5 Mirko E. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Tapas were delicious, dessert disappointing. Staff very attentive and friendly. All in all a good place to dine.

  • 5/5 Marcus B. 1 year ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Vibrantly rich puls with waiters flowing between the tightly packed tables. The interior decor stands out with odd bits and pieces that in it self makes a whole and complete feeling of a spanish vibe. The food was amazing. Fresh and packed with flavour. We were served astonishingly fast even though the resturant was fully seated.

    Packed with people, but a little crammed. Fantastic staff and food at a fair price. It not fine dining, but it a wonderful place for a good time with friends, drinks and food.

    Big and spacious Spanish restaurant serving delicious food and with good service! Highly recommended! 👍🏻

  • 3/5 Stephania Arantxa Nevado F. 10 months ago on Google
    I give it three stars if I compare the price, quantity, and quality. The food is not special in flavor, for typical Spanish food it is quite expensive and the tapas portions are small. The service and atmosphere are good.

  • 5/5 Anna 1 year ago on Google
    Great choice of Tapas. Food was really delicious. Great cocktails as well.

  • 2/5 Simon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place and nice waiters, and good Cava. I’d stop at that. The food was bland and underprepared (which is extra nasty with seafood, and just weird with garlic bread, how do you even fail at that?).

  • 3/5 MaCaVa V. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't complain about the service,but the food would be more tapas made with swedish style. Too much sauce and oil in the food ,seafood is far from descent.

  • 4/5 Charles L. 1 year ago on Google
    The plates (although on the small side) tasted fresh and were well prepared. The bellota lomo was perfect. Wine pours are also smallish. Service was great and they were able to sneak us in without a reservation.

    Extremely friendly staff, delicious and authentic tapas & well prepared cocktails. All together a perfect place for an evening with friends.
