Honestly, I have been trying to like this place – and their “famous” jam\u00f3n croquetas – for years. Especially as so many local foodie types keep insisting they are the Very Best Croquetas in Sevilla. Well friends, they are not. The breading has a nice crunch, but what is inside is a gooey bland bechamel with very little flavour of jam\u00f3n, or anything else. The rest of the tapas I’ve had here (been trying since 2012!) are okay, but not exceptional. This last visit we tried the solomillo al whisky again and it came without any sauce (just like on previous occasions)… once we asked for some sauce on the side it was better, but why serve it without sauce in the first place? The flamenqu\u00edn was a bit dense and dry… so I think I’m kind of done with this place.<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons I probably won’t be back is that in order to enhance their Semana Santa ambiance clouds of incense billow out from a shelf behind the bar, making it not only difficult to breathe, but also impossible to taste anything. Another peeve that hasn’t changed over the years is the lack of a written menu, which as far as I know is against restaurant rules and regulations. Instead the barman rattles off the list of tapas to each customer. It’s not only tedious, but you don’t know what anything costs. On a previous visit, when we sent back a lurid pink tuna dish, we were assured it was top quality from Makro (!!!). Enough said.<\/p>\n

Tapas are served in the bar area and there is a dining area in the back for raciones, and a couple of tables on the sidewalk across the street.<\/p>\n
