Bodeguita Romero is famous for its award-winning pringá montaditos – the best in Sevilla (and according to FoodieHub, in the world). Pringá is typically a mixture of pork, chorizo and black pudding, served on bread as a sort of paté or paste in most other tapas bars. But here it’s very meaty and chunky; just tender slow-cooked pork and black pudding (with a dollop of manteca) in a perfectly toasted hot bun – pure porky heaven. Other favourites include the melt-in-your-mouth carrillada (pig cheeks), grilled salt cod, and the house marinated potatoes, prepared daily by Pedro Romero himself. Be sure to also check the daily specials board. The owners and staff here are friendly and welcoming and even when the place is heaving (which is often) the service is fast and efficient.

Also check out the wine list for a terrific selection of wines by the glass, including some top sherries – Alejandro Romero has created an exceptional sherry list.

But what makes Bodeguita Romero so especially special is how you feel so at home – I’ve been coming here for almost 30 years so the Romero family and their staff are like family to me (this also explains why SO many photos…). Going strong for more than 80 years now, and into its third generation, Pedro and Angela still run the show here, with their son Alejandro gradually taking over the reins, and you can feel the heart they put into it. Great home-style cooking, lovingly prepared from old family recipes, professionally presented, all in a cosy family-style atmosphere where you get superb value for money. One of the very best traditional tapas bars in town.
