We dined here on my birthday and were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. The surprise…read morerelates to how few tapas we ordered and enjoyed on our trip prior to visiting La Mata 24. Not only does this restaurant have many menu options, but also they have quite a few healthy ones, numerous inventive ones, and (based on the 6 or so we ordered) many utterly delicious ones. These are not the tapas you will see (or may eat) here, there, and everywhere else in Spain. I can't remember everything we ordered (we had croquettes, a chicken option or two, seared tuna, and a few others), but I do remember that everything was well plated and scrumptious. It also bears mentioning that we were given a basket of bread and a small dish of mixed olives to munch on while we waited for our dishes to arrive. We topped this meal with the white chocolate cheesecake, which was the best cheesecake I've ever had (and I've had many cheesecakes in quite a few countries). Surely the individuals and groups who stopped by hoping for a table (many of whom were turned away), are testament to this restaurant's food and popularity. Based on the same, I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. I can't really speak about the restaurant's interior atmosphere as we were seated outside. The outside view wasn't anything special (at least not from where we sat facing parked cars and side street traffic), but we enjoyed the beautiful evening all the same. BOTTOM LINE: We enjoyed an amazing, celebratory meal at this restaurant. Should you choose to dine here, you'll very likely share our high opinion of La Mata 24.

La Mata 24 is located at a side street of the big and lively square of Alameda de Hercules. The…read moresquare is pleasantly crowded during evenings with kids playing and their parents enjoying some beers or tapas at one of the plenty resto's around the area. We decided to go here based on TA reviews and were not disappointed - at all! After several nights of trying out different tapas places, we can easily say this one was our favorite. The menu might not sound that inspiring at first, but the tapas dishes are incredibly tasty. The cook gives a little twist to every dish and blends the ingredients well with different spices and herbs. Please try the carpaccio of shrimps - an awesome surprise and well worth the price. All other tapas were very flavourful and supernice as well. Service is great with friendly waiters who like to make a little chat. Desserts are ok - nothing wonderful but the whole innovative and very tasty tapas dishes make up completely for this. The resto is not super big, with some tables inside and about 5 or 6 tables outside. We got there around 9h30 and soon after that, the place was full. The atmosphere around the square is great and it is the best place to eat in the area (we tried a few others around the Hercules square...). Ahhh...writing about this place, makes me want to go back! We found it better than San Telmo - with similar prices (some dishes might be a little pricier - but they are also better than at San Telmo).

I appreciated the ample veggie selection-- yes, you can get your solomillo here, but there's plenty of verduras, which is a nice change. And everything we sampled was tasty. The couscous with chicken comes topped with sweet, plump raisins, caramelized onions, and a sprinkling of nuts; the spinach croquettes are the very best croquettes I've had on this trip (and trust me, there have been a lot of croquettes); the falafel served in pita with tzatziki was the weakest (the falafel was good, the tazatziki was more plentiful than I would have liked); and the solomillo was served covered in a delicious mojo sauce and with three perfect potatoes. And the chocolate tart is dense and decadent without an overpowering sweetness. I should say, the pacing at Paladar is far less Spanish- we showed up at 9, and by 915, the restaurant was nearly full (which is early for here), and people didn't seem to linger as they do in other tapas spots. Dinner for 2 (4 tapas, and dessert) came to 17E.
