This place is one of the possible reasons why the Spanish food in Sevilla is so much better than the Spanish food in Boston. I met up with my hostess from Gines (a suburb in the outskirts of Sevilla) and she took me and a few other people I hung out with to this place, there were probably about 5-8 of us that ordered. It was fairly crowded, with a decent number people, mostly Spaniards, since it was a Friday night. I had a great time eating at this place, and thought the dishes were excellently tasty. We ordered a bunch of "platos" (dishes) rather than tapas because there was a group of us. Here's what I remembered getting with my hostess:
Queso de Cabra al Horno (Baked Goat Cheese)
Pez espada (Swordfish)
Pijotas (I have no idea what it means in English, but it's some sort of a fish that is fried. I think it means "hake".)
Espinacas con Garbanzos (Spinach with chickpeas)
Patatas Fritas con Salsa Brava (fries with a spiced up sauce)
Ensalada Pollo Cocktail (this is a grilled chicken with salad)
I really liked the goat cheese. It was served on a really crispy and freshly baked large piece of toasted bread. Loved the delicious flavour of the goat cheese. Probably the dish I enjoyed the most was the Pijotas. It was a little similar to eating fried calamari, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. The swordfish was pretty good and meaty. The Spinach also was decently good and I actually liked the chickpeas. As for the fries, one of my hostess' friends warned me that the sauce is spicy. I ate the fries, and it was not too spicy, but I knew that the more I ate them, I needed a cold drink soon. I had a good glass of wine as my drink and it went decently well with the tasty food.
Atmosphere is fairly casual, and interior is very Spanish. Chairs are fairly hard. I remember that there was a room in the back, and there were a lot of Spaniards and possibly some tourists watching a lady sing flamenco music with a Spanish guitarist.
Eating at this place was not the conclusion, but the beginning of a somewhat insane night in Sevilla. Overall, I thought I had some of the best Spanish food in Sevilla so far and I have yet to find a place outside of Spain that would replicate the tasty food here. If I ate at the Spanish restaurants in the Triana neighbourhood of Sevilla, I probably would have given this place 4 Stars out of 5, but since the food was really good, and I had some dishes that are not going to be this good until I come back to Spain, I am going to give this place an excellent rating. If I come back to this place, it will probably be for the seafood, the fries, and the goat cheese. read more
