All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!

We discovered this gem thanks to a recommendation from our taxi driver, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and located in a clean, welcoming area--perfect for a relaxed evening out. We went for dinner and were blown away by both the service and the food. The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. We started with a refreshing maracuyá drink and shared the guacamole appetizer, which came with 5 flavorful salsas. For the main course, the cochinita pibil was a standout--tender, rich, and packed with authentic flavor. Everything from the ambiance to the attentive service and delicious food made this an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

This place is perfect for an in-between breakfast or brunch! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking--seriously, it's like a dream. They blend nature and food so beautifully. The red velvet pancake? Wow, just wow! Normally, I don't gravitate toward sweets, but this was so well-balanced and perfectly sweetened to suit my taste. It was absolutely delicious.

Since we were early, I started with a margarita on the rocks. I know they used the top shelf stuff to make this one - it was excellent! Our waiter was very attentive and ready to answer any question in excellent English. Ultimately only two of us chose the fish tacos - you might know I *love* a good fish taco - but unfortunately, these weren't it! Although we were among the first customers of the day, the fish was coated in a thick layer of... breading(?) that was soaked in oil. Perhaps they didn't wait to heat the oil enough? I don't know, but they were a soggy disappointment that we could only eat after cutting away that greasy coating. This was really a shame, as everything else about this place was reaching for five stars!

We walked in without having reservations and we were welcomed in! Let me tell you a couple of restaurants we tried to go to without reservations & those restaurants were sparsely filled with customers had no problem turning us away. Thank you to Thomas, who greeted & waited on us! Great job, making us feel welcomed! Yes, as I mentioned this is a ways off the local tourist area, however I guarantee if you appreciate good Mexican food this is well worth the walk. Besides after eating you will need to walk your meal & beverages off. Let us start off with the awesome waiter, who spoke perfect English & very courteous. We were both slightly hungry from the previous attempted meal. By this time I was in need of a Michelada. Michelada is not a common drink at all. Well imagine my surprise when I discovered this was as good as few of the Mexican Restaurants from San Antonio, Texas! The rim Tajin lined, right amount of Tabasco, Worcestershire, Tomatoes & cold Pacifico! Gosh, could have easily had 2 of those! The guacamole literally dances on your tongue, right garlic, lime & accompanied by the freshest chips we ever had! The portion is perfect for 2 people. Remember we were slightly hungry. Had the Diablo shrimp which came with their own smoky sauce, these were not tiny shrimp either. I couldn't eat all the shrimp. Spouse had the ceviche with fresh shrimp & nice sized avocados. Both our bellies full & satisfied. There are about 7 indoor tables & 3 outdoor tables. The other restaurants near, also recommended again, please make a reservation & walk over for the best meal in Barcelona

Ah, the best fish tacos I've had in my eight years in Barcelona!…read more This place is small and kind of dive-y, just a few blocks away from Avinguda Paral.lel, and just off of the Ronda de Sant Pau. They do offer outdoor seating as well, so we didn't feel at all crowded. Our host/waiter was quick and offered explanations in fluent English. The music was mid-70's to mid-80's while we were there, so that offered a nice vibe. As for those fish tacos: made with cod fillets, very lightly battered and breaded, and grilled to a toasty golden color. Each was topped with a wedge of avocado, diced red onion, chipotle mayonnaise and garnished with fresh cilantro. Oh, and there was a fresh lime wedge for each of the three tacos in the order. Although they have another restaurant closer to the Arc de Triomf (which offers a much more expansive menu) this joint really has me wanting to come back for another round of those tacos - perhaps with a margarita this time.
