A little gem in the center of Seville and a wonderful way to experience andalusian gastronomy.

The menu is limited, but the quality of each dish is exceptional.
The cheeks are spectacular, with a powerful flavor that goes perfectly with the apple puree. The Iberian rice dish is also recommended if you like meat.
As for desserts, the cheese cakes are exceptionally creamy and the torrijas are delicious for their delicate flavor.
Superb attention and very fast service. 100% recommended.

It is definitively a tapas paradise, with excellent portions of sliced meats and cold cuts and the famous Serranito superlative quality.

It is a place where you get the real Sevillian atmosphere: lots of locals, a kind of "amphitheater" inside where you can sit, decorations and colors.
It's quite a noisy and chaotic place, but that also makes it attractive.
The staff is super nice, open, moves fast, and you may have to wait a while before sitting down to eat (assuming you can find a seat)... but if you hang in there, you'll have a truly unique experience!
