    Iberian pork cheek stew
    Eugene W.

    Iberian pork cheek stew (9/10): a must-order. Slow-cooked, savory goodness. Goat cheese (8/10): delicious and packed with flavor! Loved that the goat cheese was bundled with the tomatoes and sauce in nice little bites We came here immediately after having an awful experience at Bodega de la Alfalfa across the street, so didn't have the stomach to order more. But definitely get the pork cheek.

    When we walked in, my eyes were immediately drawn to the Iberian ham hanging from the ceiling and I knew this was my kind of place. Knowing we were going to eat a lot during a food tour, we settled on some small tapas (ham, cheese, bread, and olives) and got some sangria and a beer. We sat at the bar and I was able to practice my Spanish with the bartender. The ham was a generous portion and I loved watching them cut it behind the bar! Very fun and old establishment-y vibes. Wish we could've tried more on the menu if we didn't have other plans!

    Beef cheek stew

    Food so nice, we ate here twice! Everything was so good - I have no notes. First the drinks - the tinto de verano was so refreshingly good. We got the chicken dish which was my favorite. We also got the beef cheek stew which was also my favorite. Highly recommend trying these two. I enjoyed the squid ink pasta, as well. It does get busy so have patience. It's worth the wait. The evening staff were also incredibly friendly. We had a jovial conversation with them in our broken Spanish. What a memorable visit we had!

    Decent spot for tapas. Seems locals come here. Packed and can sell out of items (i.e. paella). Tables aren't cleaned so don't expect anything. Items like stewed beef and alfalfa chicken are delicious. Skip the jamon here - better quality elsewhere. We had the shouting (but kind) bartender so it was an experience!

    Au gratin smoked cheese
    Stephanie C.

    It got crowded, there's no reservations and you have to wait for a spot to open up and order at the bar. The bartender was a little sassy but overall very efficient and fair. Impressive service given how busy he was. I loved the bruschetta classica tapa. Recommend getting this over the caprese. The au gratin smoked cheese was also delicious and great to eat with the bruschetta. It was kind of like queso fundido but Spanish instead of Mexican. Their bresoala was also tasted. Reminded me of a hearty Irish stew with tender braised meat. Their Berenjas Rusticas very also really good. Fast efficient service and very delicious food! I would come back here.

    Salmorejo soup with Jamon and egg

    A charming and cozy local tapas bar and the best way to say a sweet goodbye to Seville. The place is quite small but popular with locals and travelers from all around, so expect a bit of a wait, which is worth it. We ordered 5 tapas for 2 people, and left very happy with the food and service.

    Can u imagine having so much to eat and paying this much only?

    Highlight of our trip to Seville... a local place with amazing service, food (tapas) and local beer. The place was bustling with locals and tourists but there is always a place to sit. Will definitely go back and highly recommend.

    Paella, bacalao, salmorejo and aceitunas!

    Affordable, delicious tapas! It is often overcrowded with tourists and has quite a wait- usually there is a line out the door. The tapas are delicious with a nice selection. We loved the bacalao! The aceitunas and paella were fantastic as well.

    Excellent Restaurant

    SEVILLE SPAIN - 05/ 02/23 - Absolutely amazing on every level. As usual perusing Yelp trying to find a place to eat I see Alfalfa & 2 of my Yelp acquaintances had eaten there. Salena my friend from Chicago & Lily (formerly from Chicago now in Copell TX). Alfalfa is rated 4 1/2 stars on Yelp for good reason. When we arrived we stood outside waiting for over an hour to gain access as it was packed & for good reason. The restaurant is on triangular corner w/limited space. The space is a high volume but the space above is very creatively utilized crammed full of an assortment of wines racks. This restaurant is small but vibrant full of people and staff chatting around you w/music playing & the server walking around singing the songs. We ordered 4 dishes which proved to be plenty for the * Tallerin de Calemares - Black Noodles w/baby squid (excellent) * Salmon Marinado - Marinated Salmon on Bread w/potato salad * Bacalao a La Roman - Cod Fish * Roja Tapa - Pesto w/Pecorino cheese & Pine nuts on toasted bread And a ice cold grande brewski (oops). I mean Creveza to wash it all down We sat at the bar quick service outstanding food & inexpensive. Dinner $22.60 Euros plus tip. You can't even get a good burger & beer in Chicago for this much & the food was outstanding in an awesome lively environment. Hell yeah I'll go back again if I make it back to Seville. I LOVED THIS PLACE

    I stopped by Bar Alfafa in Seville after reading all teh reviews. The restaurant definitely did not disappoint. It had a really chill vibe for traveling solo or in a group. In terms of food, I tried their Pork Cheek. The meat was surprisingly tender and flavourful. It was also really affordable, especially given the location (in the touristy area). Probably my favourite spot in Seville so I'd give it 9/10

    Stumbled upon this local little tapas joint where we grabbed a quick bite of cafe con leche + tostada con aceite, tomate, y jamón on our very first day in Seville. As we planned to only be in the city for a couple days, we decided to take an early flight from Madrid to get a fuller day of sightseeing upon arrival at 9 am. Alfalfa was an easy 15ish minute walk through the quaint streets from the lovely boutique hotel we stayed at near the Alcázar. Service at 11ish was quite slow and only a few other people were inside. We sat ourselves at the bar and ordered from there. Great breakfast bites selection for wonderful prices. The jamón was spectacular. Would've loved to see it in full form during actual nighttime but it was great to have as an option for breakfast!

    Cute place!
    Eric T.

    WOW! Amazing, tasty, and fresh local food; wonderful ambience with a very cozy and historic feel; and delightful service! Everyone was so helpful and always smiling! Not to mention the amazing cheese tapa and paella we had! This is not a fancy or sit down place but a casual spot to eat & it can get crowded as it is small so don't come with a large group of people. Although there are bathrooms, there are no sinks to wash your hands so travel with a bottle of hand sanitizer. Highly recommend!

    Grilled Steak
    Thanh L.

    We came at like 8pm. The line was out the door. This place is small inside . The wait was like 20 minutes. The service was fast and smooth. We got sangria, pork cheek, baked Provolone, grilled Steak, wok in squid ink, smoked Salmon and fried cod. The steak was amazing in texture and taste. The fried cod was tasty and moist inside. The smoked salmon was salty. The wok in squid ink was too salty from the sauce which tasted like soy sauce . The pork cheek was so tender and Flavorful. Overall a great experience and amazing food

    The best food I had in all of Seville.. stopped by this place for late dinner during my recent trip…read moreto Seville and this place did not disappoint. We ordered their roasted lamb with cous cous, garlic shrimp croquetta (that was the croquetta of the day), pork cheek stew with potato purée and the chocolate panna cotta for dessert. We also ordered their sangria and tinto de verano. Every dish we ordered was AMAZING - tasty flavorful well seasoned melt in your mouth meat bursting with flavors. We devoured every bite and it was hard to pick a favorite. Both the lamb and pork dishes were 11/10. Not just the taste but the presentation of every tapa was fantastic. Their drinks were also great. The dessert was to die for. This place is super packed during peak dinner hours and there is barely any room to stand. Since we walked in around 11pm, we got a seat and were well taken care of all thru the night. Also noticed alot of veggie options on the menu which was great. Service was awesome ambience is chic. I am certain I am going to crave their tapas once I am back home. Highly highly recommend this place when in Seville.

    Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.

The layout can be a bit confusing, as the restaurant seems to have three dining rooms with separate entrances but only one kitchen. Where we sat was charming, with stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. We started with the foie appetizer, which was a delightful surprise for my palate. It was a unique combination of foie, cream cheese, and what I believe was pear. It was unusual, but I ended up really enjoying it. The zucchini noodles with pesto and burrata were also very enjoyable. However, the star of our dinner was the 40 day dry aged ribeye, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, and absolutely delicious. If we had discovered it sooner, I would have happily eaten here a second time.

The star was obviously the 100-day aged steak. It was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious with a little bit of funk. And my grandpa was a cattle rancher so I've had quite a bit of steak in my life. 9.5/10 The pumpkin dish was also exceptional. 9/10 The risotto was the perfect compliment. Wow. Great texture and flavor. 9/10 The croquettes were good, I didn't like the mayo on top. 8/10 The dessert that was essentially a bread pudding was absolutely delicious.i barely tried the orange dessert but it tasted like a Pillsbury orange cinnamon roll. Dessert and service were 10/10
