Arco Tapas Bar is a very cozy and charming tapas restaurant located in the Old Town historical…read morecenter of Marbella, Spain. The owner, Anita, was so friendly and invited us to sit wherever we preferred. My husband, sister and I chose a table in the back room next to the fireplace since it was a chilly night in January. We were dehydrated from drinking wine all day during our wine tour in Ronda so we immediately ordered several bottles of water and soda to accompany our wine. I was dreading the bill after ordering so many beverages, but prices were very reasonable and this was one of our cheapest meals in Marbella! The menu at Arco Tapas Bar consists of a variety of hot and cold tapas and small plates. The Iberian ham, fresh buffalo mozzarella, sliders, and goat cheese salad were some of our favorite dishes. We later found out that Anita's husband is the chef. Anita's husband is from Italy so you will notice some Italian influences on the menu. This was the perfect spot to relax with friends and enjoy some great wine and tapas. Would highly recommend this spot. Unfortunately, they are not open for lunch or we would have returned the next day!

Solid find. Some of the best tapas we've had between here and Madrid. Truly special. As gourmet as…read morethese tapas are, my heart was taken prisoner by their hamburguesa tapas. Two simple sliders that hit all the right notes. Simply brilliant. The rest - tuna tataki, grilled octopus, and fish tacos (amazingly made from cod baccalao) were all top notch.

We were lucky to have a spot as it could get so busy. Place seems to be popular among the locals who enjoy their cervezas & tapas. Hence, making it a bit loud but lively.

After reading all the positive reviews, we decided to try Puratapa on a Saturday evening. They do…read morenot take reservations and some outside tables were already full at 7:45pm, waiting for them to open. We really wanted a seat inside, so that was fine. The menu are chalkboards on two walls. They are only in Spanish language. The atmosphere is hectic. My boyfriend and I ordered 6 different tapas and a sparkling water and 0,0 beer. Olives and a bread basket were immediately placed on the table. They had 6 waiters who provide attentive service. We watched plate after plate being served outside. Finally, my Hamburguesa Ternera arrived. Then my Hummus Tapenade arrived and shortly after that, my Pate de Ave. I had finished and was sitting a good 20 minutes before my boyfriend received his first plate,Tataki Atun. Pretty much all the people seated outside, even those who came after us, had finished their plates by now. Another 15 minutes passed before by boyfriend received his Bikini de Rambo and Bikini Bacalao at the same time. It was obvious the kitchen could not handle the Saturday dining crowd. They were making one type of tapa at a time to fill all orders for them. My Pate was good. I have had better hummus at a neighboring restaurant. My boyfriend's Bikini Bacalao was supposed to have guacamole. The sandwich was somewhat tasteless. When he removed the bread, there was none to be seen. He asked the waiter where the guacamole was. The waiter looked and pointed to a tiny unseen fleck on the bread and said that was the guacamole. The check was 33€ which included a 1€ fee for cutlery and 10% IVA. I don't see how this is considered the top tapas restaurant in the vicinity. We have had better experiences elsewhere.

Tapas are not particularly memorable but dirt cheap... all under €2.00. Go for the feeling of timelessness, the bullfight photos, the oldtimers chatting at the bar. Great place.

We also tried the mixed cured meats and cheese platters. So freaking good! You MUST try this place!!

The "cooks", if you can call them that, had at least two microwaves going at all times. It's no wonder the food is a disappointment. I was so sad as it was our only night in Cádiz and what a waste of a dinner it was. When we arrived, there was a few people waiting in line and the restaurant was full and seemed very inviting. I was convinced that we should stay and the wait didn't take long! Once seated, we were served bread and our drinks. The bartenders were great. We ordered 5 tapas dishes and they arrived extremely quickly. First the cuttlefish (which was tasty), and then the Bao bun (overpriced but my husband liked it). Our next three dishes arrived together: fried cheese which was served with whipped cream from a can (weird), salted cod (cold and a terrible representation of a local staple), and the tuna lasagna (also very weird). Due to how fast everything came out, I started noticing the sound of the microwaves dinging and I could see one of them open and close over and over. As soon as a dish came out, another went it. No surprise they can turn over so many guests. Just an embarrassment.
