    A friend and I visited El 58 on a weekday evening for dinner. We arrived just after 8pm. We didn't have a reservation and they were clearly busy, but they put our name down on the waiting list and we went to sit at the bar while we waited. After only a few minutes, we were seated at a cozy table for two against a wall. Instead of paper menus, El 58 uses cute chalkboards to show what's available for ordering. The chalkboards nicely compliment the vibe and ambiance of the restaurant, which is both chilled and more than a bit quirky at the same time :-) Tip: While El 58 is advertised as a "tapas" restaurant, many of the dishes served here are anything but small plates. Two of the dishes we ordered (the steak and the risotto) were served on huge plates, and could easily be construed as an entrée intended to be shared by two people. Service was friendly, welcoming, and completely on point. Our server suggested that we order no less than five or six dishes to share; everything is served "family style", and they bring each dish out when it's ready. Each and every dish featured unique flavors with lovely presentation and plating as well. While we couldn't finish everything, we left completely satisfied, with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Our smiles were grew a bit larger when we saw the check - the prices are so reasonable that I double-checked to make sure they had billed us for everything we'd order.

    This place is a hidden gem. When you pass by it you wouldn't know it's a restaurant because the entrance is a bar. The menu is approachable with diversity in foods provided in multiple languages. The food is elevated without it being elitist. A must culinary experience during your time in Barcelona. Friendly service and eclectic decor makes you feel at home.

    Busy little place that we discovered thanks to online ratings. We had to wait a few minutes, but well worth the effort. Staff does a good job of speaking English menu is translated too. The variety of Tapas dishes were well executed. Edgy, Spanish, continental fusion style. Well balanced and beautifully plated dishes. Eat here if you have an opportunity.

    Everything we had was awesome. Staff spoke English and was a pleasure to deal with. Made our day. The sangria was best ever.

    Had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed everything. Seafood tapas, smoked beef, octopus, risotto, eggplant with honey. Staff was super friendly and spoke English. Loved the food and sangria.

    A bit of a wait for a table, but not too bad. They didn't think they could fit me in before closing, so they served me at the bar, which was fine. Potato Bravas and risotto were both amazing. Bartender was nice.

    I stumbled upon this place and it was one of my best meals. I ordered a couple of tapas and shared with a friend. There was a tomato and micro greens salad with seared tuna, hot coal octopus with potatoes, braised tuna belly, and a beef carpaccio. We also had your typical bread with tomato spread and a sangria. Just ask your server for their suggestions and the most popular dishes. Everything was really wonderful.

    Food was amazing! I don't remember the names of the tapas we ordered but everything was delicious!read more

    Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

    So I just got back from beautiful Barcelona - and I have to say this was one my favorite breakfast…read morespots - I actually went twice - walked 2 miles one way - that is what I am talking about. First time I went I ordered 1. Cappuccino - which was the best one I had while staying in Barcelona 2. Eggs Benedict - with pulled pork which was amazing 3. Pancakes with fruit - this was good but not eat your heart out good 4. Fresh squeezed OJ - yum yum The service was excellent - very friendly - just wished I had a place like this in the states. The Cappuccino was so good my friend who arrived a couple days after me wanted to see for herself - so I went again - since we actually already had a little breakfast I only ordered 1. There awesome Cappuccino - that chocolate drizzled on top was what did it for me. 2. Avocado toast with a fried egg - so fresh and delicious 3. Another glass of fresh squeezed OJ - always good All I can say if this place was just around the corner from me in the states I would be a regular - Please look this place up if you are ever in Barcelona - you will not be disappointed.

    We were seated right away, the service was very good. The food was oh so delicious. We ordered…read moredifferent plates and they all tasted great. A couple that was with me came back the following day to eat there again! I was too hungry and my phone did not ear first, I forgot all about it.
