Another spot I was trying to dine at had over an hour wait, so someone recommended this local spot to us instead. We came by with no wait, but still busy with other diners. It's off the beaten path with all your traditional Spanish cuisines. I ordered the Marisco Mix Tapas (€28) while the boyfriend had the Smoked Ham Galician with Potatoes and Red Sausage (€13). Although the mix tapas is probably meant for sharing, I finished it all by myself and was happily content. The platter comes with razor-shell clams, mussels, octopus, clams, and red prawns. All the shellfish was flavorful, fresh, and yummy --very happy with my choice. read more

Great place, awesome food, excellent servers!!! For a true Spanish experience, a must go!!!

A fantastic dining experience that doesn't feel like a tourist trap! I came here six years ago and remembered the food being excellent so wanted to revisit and it really did not disappoint. Their veggie paella in particular is a knock out--so flavorful with a bit of char at the bottom for crispiness. It is infused with garlic and has tons of veggies! Also loved the gambas ajillo and highly recommend the tapas mixta if you're with a friend or just extra hungry. It's like a charcuterie board of food and everything tastes authentic and homemade. Can't recommend this place enough, especially if you're looking for a more trattoria-like, friendly family-owned vibe--this is a shop owned by three siblings. read more

Debemos utilizar nuestras vidas para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor para vivir, no sólo para adquirir cosas. Para eso nos han puesto en la tierra -- Dolores Huerta Making the world a better place, lifting others up; that's truly the meaning of life. I wish with that Spanish philosophy I could give a better review but we merely thought this local Barcelona joint was solid, not great or outstanding. We made a reservation on our first night, and had a good table near the door. Perfect for people watching, this place was packed. Service was definitely rushed although they did let us sit longer than other groups. One of the brothers served us and he was busy doing so many different roles in helping run the place. We ordered apps, wine and paella. Everything was good, nothing great, including the paella. We went here in part due to a review that said it was "legit" but what it really needed was more seasoning. Very bland and flavorless. Traditional and authentic, yes, but I literally had a more enjoyable paella the next week in Walnut Creek. Wine list was local and inexpensive; the total meal cost less than $100. I would still recommend this place for the "scene" and mingling with locals but I doubt I would return myself. Please note it's in an area known for pickpockets. read more

Stopped into this bustling restaurant located very closed to the Rambla area, very authentic, with excellent service, from Gerard our excellent server and good food. Four of us ordered various croquets (spinach, and potato) both very good for a small appetizer since the different paellas we ordered would take about 25 minutes to cook. We also ordered a chicken dish which I was told came out deliciously moist and seasoned well. Our seafood paella for two, and one chicken paella were tasty but a little on the salty side, but the four of us enjoy our meal and look forward to a future visit to O' T 3 H... read more

Our group was initially impressed with the unique menu. There are 2 pre fixe menu with 2 pricing options and a generous amount of small plate dishes. We ordered multiple pre fixe menus and a bunch of small dishes ala carte. Their wines by the glass options could improve, i.e. there were none listed although we were able to order 4 glasses based on type of wine. The taste of the dishes was hit or miss. And the quality was somewhat inconsistent. For example, the steak tartare was very salty but the tomato spaghetti was surprisingly delicious and a big hit among our group. The reason my review is a 3 is because of an unusual incident. One of the pre fixe dishes we were told to our surprise was no longer available (croquettes) and was substituted with some some spicy chiles. What was very unusual and kinda upsetting about this substitution was that as we ate the substituted chiles we saw multiple orders of croquettes being served right by us. And then when we said one of our diners could not tolerate spicy, we were served one croquette. Very very puzzling. Overall it was a unique experience with several diverse dishes. read more

This place is rather inconspicuous and unassuming in it's esthetic, but it's serving Spanish classics to perfection. We popped in for an afternoon of tapas boards and Spanish wine. I mean, what else would you want after a day of shopping. The boards were filled with tastyAF tapas. You can lean into the classics and get a "best of" Spain here. Lots of locals here, so we knew we made a great choice! read more

The tapas were great, especially the Albondigas my friends and I got the vegetable Paella, it was ok, I enjoyed the seafood one more!

They have a ton of tapas, but I liked the potato one the most. Of course, since I didn't eat the meat ones we ordered. The seafood ones looked a bit too scary for me to try too. LoL. The atmosphere felt like a cozy bar that the locals would go to. The service is very friendly. read more

Waited until our last day of vacation to try seafood Paella and it exceeded our expectations! A quaint rustic restaurant with stone interior. We arrived at 1pm which is early so there were plenty of tables. By 2pm the restaurant was filled with locals. My partner and I split Iberian ham and paella. Great quality ingredients and lovely wine. Left filling full with energy and not feeling over stuffed. Not too salty either, perfect amount of spices read more

Came here twice, each time for paella: -first visit got the seafood paella. It was really good. Lot of paella and the taste was great. -second time got the squid ink. This wasn't as good... it was a little salty. Veggie appetizers taste nice. Sangria was good and quite strong. Our first visit was at rush hour (around 2ish), and we had to wait for a table. Second time we came at 1 with no wait (and it was full of locals then). Friendly service. read more

This was a hidden gem. Only a 5 min walk from La Rambla. A local Tapas/Paella bar. Good local food at a reasonable price. We had the Jamon croquets, tomato bread, and spicy Tomato for tapas. All delicious. My spouse doesn't like seafood so we selected the meat paella. It was very tasty. The only complaint would be the bones in the chicken. To top this we split a pitcher of Sangria $16 Euro. The total check was $40.15. Oh and did I say the waitress speaks English and is extremely nice. Absolutely recommend you visit! read more

Local Barcelona, casual vibes in a great neighborhood. Good paella and yummy sweet-ish sangria.

This place is fairly new or fairly new on Yelp. It's a very traditional tapas place where you can also to go at the to go counter facing the street. We came here starving and were delighted to find all sorts of yum seafood. The tapas size to me is fairly large, and at around $4 to $5 each one can afford to eat a whole bunch of things without feeling guilty. The seafood is very fresh here, nearly too delicate to eat. The Catalonian salad was meat and cheese with veggies, highly recommended. The price is super reasonable. You can get your beer or wine and a bunch of tapas for about $40 for two people. And you have bunch of extra that you can take home with. Home, at the time, is exactly 5 doors down. read more

I would give it zero stars but can't. We went based on yelp reviews. This was our third day in Barcelona so not our first restaurant. We ordered albóndigas, púlpitos with garlic and parsley, shrimp with garlic, the octopus bomb and the paella Mar y Montana. The only thing remotely ok was the albóndigas. The shrimp were overcooked and swimming in a sea of oil and burnt garlic. The worst was the paella that looked like a uniformly brown mess they scraped from the street and smelled equally bad. Even the sangria had crystals of sugar that hadn't yet dissolved and tasted like a sweet fruit juice my kids would drink. To top it off, we were sitting close to the door where wafts of sewer smell and cigarette smoke were coming in. I should have known better when I saw only tourists eating the food and the locals only drinking the beer. Ah well. We're from San Francisco and so very accustomed to all sorts of variety but save yourself the expense. . read more

One of the best restaurants on my trip to Barcelona. Here I got the best sangria and you are positively surprised about good tasting tapas. The whole restaurant is running by the family and it is a very nice atmosphere. Also it was very clean and not so touristic at all. read more

Somehow I always end up in Barcelona. Not that I don't like it, I just like to try new places often. That said, with a few exceptions I usually don't visit the same eatery there since I'm getting to know the city little by little on each visit. On my second visit, we stumbled across O'toxo. Great food, good ambiance, the service was a little slow, but they were very communicative and pleasant. I've returned to Spain twice since that first visit and plan to continue to seek out this great little corner spot. read more

Yum. Glad to get off the beaten path a little. Super service. Loved the sausage and white beans. The meat paella was also great! read more

Since our hotel was pretty close to La Rambla I wanted to make sure we found a paella spot that was legit and not touristy. Read good reviews of this restaurant and gave it a shot. Basically everything from beginning to end was awesome! They seated us right away, took our order right away. My glass of wine was huge (which is always a plus). We had the green sauce clams, potatoes bravas and paella. They were my favorite bravas of the trip and my husbands second favorite. The paella was SO good, we were literally scraping the pan at the end to get more out. It's small but cozy and sort of inconspicuous as it's on a smaller street. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for true paella/tapas. read more

So if you don't like delicious food and friendly service you won't like this place. We were staying nearby and saw the great reviews so we took a chance and are so glad we did. It is a small restaurant, but it has big character. The staff is phenomenal and goes a mile per minute around the place, but manage to be friendly and ever so helpful choosing plates. The food was delicious! The small fried fish and small squid were crispy and wonderful. The galacian octopus was slightly spicy and had a glorious texture. The olives were even superb. Oh, and get the sangria. Thank me later. We will absolutely come here again when we come back to Barcelona. read more

Really great, not far from Las Ramblas, but really no touristy feel whatsoever. Highly recommended. Had the mixed paella and two glasses of white wine. Liked the Albariño quite a lot. Happy traveling. read more

Came up on my last night in Barcelona and wanted a special remembrance dinner. Delivered on all counts, starts with a pleasant setting just off the track enough you don't feel hurried. Started salad had fresh ingredients with a well aged balsamic. Paella was again very fresh ingredients with great seafood. If asked where to go in Barcelona this will be tops on my list. read more

Ended up here because we struck out on our original plans... Our server was so nice!! Def a 5-star there. The food: Sangria - yummy. Shrimp - great! Grilled Cuttlefish - tasty. Catalonian Sausage - good. Croquettes - just okay. Paella (chicken/beef) - uhh not gooduhh. Chalked up the croquettes to personal preference, maybe they're supposed to be mushy. Just wasn't our thing. The paella though was a huge disappointment & this is after having amazing paella elsewhere. Restaurant worth trying. read more

La paella y comida en general aqui es DELICIOSA. Es un MUST de Barcelona. El servicio es genial tambien.

The seafood tapas combo is what they must serve when you arrive in heaven. The waiter spoke perfect English while you still get the flavor of living as a local. It is definitely a local favorite as the old timers come in to flirt with the pretty bartender. What a fun find! read more

Location: In El Raval. The place: Very small, but it's a place locals go to dine so you can't go wrong. The goods: They have a very, very vast assortment of tapas so if you can't find one thing to like, there's something wrong with you. That said, they also seem to specialize in paella, which is what we decided to go with. We didn't regret our selection at all, but it was a LOT of food for two people! I'd say you can share this between 3-4 people. The seafood paella was delicious. They make it on the spot so expect to wait 30 minutes before you're served. I think a little more seafood would be nice, but other then that, this is a great dish that's loaded with flavour. We also got the patates bravas, which were good - I really liked their aioli - it had a kick to it! Service: Good. Price point: Well, its $13 per person.... and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, if you're four people, that's $50 for one dish. It IS huge, and fresh, but I think it could be priced a tiny bit l read more

We found this restaurant via Yelp with quite a good rating. And what to say, it was absolutely worth to pay them a visit!! We ordered a variety of tapas, I think about 5 or 6 different types incl. fish, meat and vegetables and not to forget the tasty bottle of red house wine. The food was of good quality, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and to our surprise the prices are very affordable! We'd go there again! read more

The decor was pretty homely with its brick walls shelved with an impressive alcohol selection and thankfully lacked the more touristy vibes common at many other restaurants I passed by in the El Raval area. My friends and I ordered the "menu del dia," which is an option available at many Spanish restaurants during the lunch hour, where you can choose an appetizer, main dish, dessert, and drink at a low price. The option here cost only 9,50 euros and was served in generous portion sizes. I opted for their soup, which consisted of tender pork and potatoes, and was an excellent remedy for the cold windy weather outside. For the main dish I chose their pork chops drizzled in orange fruit sauce -- quite a funky combination, but its uniqueness made the dish worth the try. For dessert, I chose the creme brûlée, which tasted as if it was laced with cognac. I would've loved the dessert if it wasn't so sweet; I've noticed that the Spanish tend to prefer their pastries and desserts to have greater sugar and chocolate proportions than those of the American variety. The service was pretty slow however due to it being understaffed -- we had to flag down the poor, bustling waiter multiple times. read more
