We went after receiving a recommendation and being hyped up on it being a historical restaurant. The food was OK, and the service was subpar. We went to the restaurant, I recommend just staying at the bar and ordering tapas. We should have done that as most reviews state. read more

Food was ok, nothing special though the Bacalao a la Rotenia was good. The croquetas were reheated and not iwell fried and the salad was rather plain. The suspicion of being scam as a tourist came clear when our bill ended up on 25 cents. Not possible if all dishes are rounded and we had two drinks which were the same. We were never given a chance to check the bill either read more

The service was great and food amazing. We got a few tapas from their English menu (they usually will have one at request). We ordered the spinach with garbanzo beans, cod in tomato sauce, couple glasses of wine paired with chorizo and their choice of cheese. We got here at 6pm and unfortunately they were out of the Arroz (rice) which was probably their hottest selling dish. Definitely worth a try when in Seville. read more

This oldest tapas bar of Sevilla was definately worth going. I went there twice. Although there are a lot of tourists, the locals still visit this place for it's fine tapa. Just standing at the bar and see tegen work was a pleasure! read more

El Rinconcillo - Jamon - Spanish Near Me - Seville, SE

The service at this place left so much to be desired. We didn't even got items we ordered (and they were on the bill). We were brought someone else's bill while in the middle of our food. The waiter forgot us on a number of occasions and things we asked for. The food was very good, but as good as any other authentic tapas place. The only part of the experience that stood out was the classic decor. So if you want to see a 200 year old place in Seville, order a beer at the bar, take your pictures, then go elsewhere. read more

Wonderful tasty amazing history and outstanding hospitality. I can't say enough. They were recommended by a friend. You can't go wrong stopping in here. read more

Perhaps my favourite tapas bar in Sevilla - very traditional, cool waiters (very flirtatious and kept topping up our drinks!) and great vibes. Everything is very good (jamon iberica, spinach with chickpeas, croquettes, russian salad with prawns) but the signature pig cheeks are exceptional - these are a must-try! read more

The food is pretty standard Spanish fare, not particularly good or particularly bad. The service however was sub par. We had to wait a long time to get our bill and frankly the waitstaff was not friendly in the least. I will not be returning soon. read more

Awesome! Best Tapas/Bar experience we had on our whole trip. Seems like it could be a tourist trap since its on the maps of the city but this place is legit. The garbanzo/spinach dish they have is so yummy, we had the best iberico here and a plate of anchoas fritas (fried anchovies) that we could not stop eating. Sparkling sangria was perfect and refreshing after walking around in the heat. We should have gone back another day but there are a lot of good places in Seville to eat... read more

Read the reviews and really enjoyed this. We ordered the Gezpacho,green salad,spinach with garbanzo beans,which was a little oily, the sole was excellent also ordered the leg of lamb which was ok, not great.Good service, easy to get to from our hotel without a map! read more

A beautiful restaurant/tapas bar. This place invites you in, with its windows wide open and you hear the chitter-chatter as you approach. Peering in you can see the jamón hanging above the bar and an extensive collection of wines in the racks. This bar, dating back to 1670, has a traditional decor with promotional alcoholic beverage tiles, kegs and little trinkets (my faves were bottles shaped like the torre de oro -gold tower). We had started to get quite hungry here and picked a handful of options from the menu: a typical Seville dish espinacas con garbanzos (chickpeas and spinach), bacalao a la riojana (cod with Rioja-style sauce), carriallada en salsa (pig cheek) and solomillo ibérico (Iberian pork fillet). read more

Don't miss this "hidden" oldie gem (Est. 1670) and make sure you don't leave without trying one of the best Carrillada in Sevilla.

Don't go here if you're not white! This place is apparently the oldest tapas bar in Seville, dating back a few centuries. It seems their way of treating people is also from a few centuries ago. We waited at the bar for a long time without being acknowledged or greeted by the older white bartenders, let alone served by them. We were patient because the place is notorious for slow service, but we were kept waiting for at least 15 minutes without being acknowledged, while they kept taking other orders. When we asked for service, we kept being told gruffly to wait, while we watched the bartenders tend to everyone else but us. They even tended to (white) people who came in after us before ever taking our order. It wasn't especially busy so it was clear they just didn't want to serve us (we were the only nonwhite people in the place that evening). We almost left but decided to stick it out to experience the supposed good food. Now, the food itself. We managed to order a couple of tapas which were quite mediocre. The chickpeas and spinach were over-salted and had little flavor besides salt. The pork cheeks were tender but were also over-salted. The drinks we wanted weren't available and we were given substitutes without really checking properly with us. In sum, this place has mediocre food and racist service. Avoid! read more

Oldest bar in Seville! Service was slow just because the place was packed (we went on a Thursday). The tapas were great though, worth the wait. They have a famous "cup" of wine only locals know about. You will also be standing the whole time! read more

Come hungry as the portions are huge at this great restaurant. The food was outstanding and a great value for the money. Eat downstairs at the bar or move upstairs to the dining rooms overlooking the street. read more

This place was very authentic, busy and had good Spanish food! It is one/the oldest bar in Seville and was very beautiful on the inside. We had the spinach and garbanzo bean tapa, wonderful. And 2 other dishes but can't remember the English name! They were both delicious. read more

About as authentic a tapas bar as you'll find in Seville. The battered cod was the best fried fish I've ever eaten. Friendly staff and very cool vibe. Recommend standing at bar, or bar tables for true tapas dining. I could've done without the head-on shrimp. Others ordered beautiful plates of humans cheese and cockles. Meats are curing beautifully right over the bar. read more

This place is old...like older than my grandmas grandma! But the food, the vibe and the experience is totally worth it. While here, I ordered the typical food any tourist would order...manchego cheese, jamon iberico, salmorejo, and flan! And of course a shit load of beer with help of some the locals. I came early and beat the crowds. read more

Came by on a hot day after running 10K in the morning. Great spot to grab a cerveca and espinacas. Lots of tourists and locals. The bartender keeps a tab on the counter using chalk! We enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. A must do in Sevilla! read more

El Rinconcillo - 2.40 per glass - Spanish Near Me - Seville, SE

One of the best meals I had in Seville! The bar tender/ owner was so nice and suggested we order the small clams in white wine/ butter/ garlic sauce and it was amazing!! read more

The service was excellent. The interior has a delightfully rustic, old-world feel since it was established in the 1600s. I enjoyed the caña de lomo and specialty tapas, croquetas were average. read more

This is the oldest tapas restaurant in Sevilla. The fried fish is magical! Everyone should try this joint once!

This place is awesome! No one speaks English but they are super nice and help you figure out what to order. Very friendly staff. The ham is amazing, try it here! read more

Great tapas bar. For two we ordered Sollomillo a la plancha (grilled sirloin steak which comes with grilled peppers and potatoes) and espinacas con garbanzo (spinach with garbanzo beans tapa). The flan queso (like a cheesecake) was delicious and rich dessert. Highly recommend! read more

Major disappointment. We walked forever to get here our last night in Sevilla, expecting something really special. There was no way to have tapas unless standing, and anyway the bar was full. So we sat down for dinner, no tapas allowed. I thought surely the dinner would be good. Seated on main floor past the bar, the waiter was indifferent at best, and at times rude. We ordered in Spanish, dinner and wine. I asked for flan, and he said "No hay flan." Well, all right. 20 minutes later, as we were finishing our really pretty unpleasant meals the same waiter recommended flan to the table of four just adjacent. He then looked at me and shrugged. It turned out to be almost the most expensive meal we had in Seville, and by far the worst. I call this place a tourist trap. Well, the decor is very nice. read more

Back again because we loved it! The vino de la casa in the barrel is clutch, and the tapas are wonderful and all the bartenders are nothing short of awesome. Love the way they write the tab in chalk on the wood bar. Xoxo wish I had a place like this at home. Javi (one of the bartenders is a cutie). read more

Much hype and perhaps tapas downstairs are good, but restaurant upstairs was disappointing. Food was mediocre and service was atrocious for a place of this caliber. Waiter sat us and took our drink order, but when it came time to order he said "not my table. " Different waiter took the order but original was back to serve food and then bring bottle of water with NO glass. Stay away!! read more

I ate here for dinner. The food was very good ! I got pork meat with potatoes and some chiles. Me and my friends got dessert. The flan WAS SOO good. It was a good experience. The waiter was very nice as well. read more

lots of must sees in Sevilla: palacio El Real Alcázar, Plaza de España, la Catedral (Christopher Columbus' grave), Jardin de Murillo. for eats, don't miss out on carrillada cerdo iberico en salsa (iberico pork cheek stew) in the oldest bar-taperia in town (1670). and callos, jamón, croquetas de bacalao, tortillas de queso manchego. or just ask what's cooking that day and have a go. best with manzanilla or Rioja in hand. read more

What a disappointment - I can't understand the stellar Yelp raising this place has. From my experience dining there tonight the food was totally forgettable. The service was even worse - it seemed as though our waiter just forgot about us after placing our orders. That they don't take credit cards is a nuisance also. My other dining experiences in Seville have been fantastic, but not this one. Given the better options the city has to offer, I would look elsewhere before considering this place again. read more

My wife and I ate here earlier this week. Although we had a nice meal, we were disappointed by this restaurant, and this review is simply to provide information about our experience. We arrived without a reservation (none were ever really necessary on our trip because it was off-season). The ground floor bar is "as advertised" with hanging hams, etc. This area is standing-room only. There is an adjacent dining area that has only a few tables, so even off-season these were all taken. The maître d directed us to the upper floor for a table. Note that Fodor describes going "around the corner" to a wine bar where you have a drink while waiting for a table. We were not offered this option, and we saw no such wine bar anywhere in the area. The upstairs dining room was a very attractive space (beamed ceiling, antiques, table clothes, small rooms) with most tables filled. Had it been a wan, empty space where we were the only customers, we would not have stayed. The waiters were pleasant and professional, and our meal was good. HOWEVER, as we dined, we began to notice that every patron was a tourist. Further, while we were there a large party of tourists in a tour group came in and were seated in an adjoining dining room. (The tour guide hovered outside the room talking to the staff.) As such, we had anything but a atmospheric, local dining experience. So our advice would be: if you want funky experience, figure out how to be in the ground floor bar, or go else where, perhaps around the corner to the square where there is a large outdoor patio area. Bottom line: if a restaurant pops up on the CityMaps2Go app on the IPhone, the restaurant is for tourists. read more

Get the carillada and you'll be very happy. Super cool place, with great manchego+ tapas, and it's fun how they keep track of your bill by writing on the table in chalk. read more

Ate here twice! The spinach and garbanzo dish was beyond delicious! The Spanish summer wine was also very good. Beat tapas place in Sevilla!

We ordered a lot of food (for Spain) and found it all to be 3 stars. Really interesting ambiance though brings it to 4 stars for me. It does get crowded and touristy though. read more

supposedly the oldest bar in town? not sure if that's true or not but regardless this was a great spot for a beer and tapas. our taxi driver told us to order the spinach with chickpeas, bacalao and an omelet which we did and they were are great! especially the spinach. the waiters were a little stiff and cold towards us at first but warmed up after we ordered more food. read more
