What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Taperia La Bodeguita is widely praised for its authentic Andalusian cuisine, particularly its outstanding paella and homemade tapas. Diners frequently highlight the warm, family-run atmosphere and the exceptional value offered, especially through the set menu. While most reviews are glowing, a few patrons noted food being overly salty or some dishes being slightly dry on occasion, and the cash-only policy can be an inconvenience.
"hola people,
that was such a lovely restaurant visit! 10/10! we had many different tapas: paella, piemetos padron, croquetas, chorizo, prawn & chicken skewer, batatas aioli - and it was delicious! we particularly would recommend the chicken croquetas and the paella because those were outstanding! the wines & the sangria were also delish! we also loved the chocolate cake as a dessert, that was homemade my the owner - just amazing! it’s a family business & everyone was super lovely, nice and welcoming, they are great hosts. we would really recommend coming here! :)

"Visited following the reviews and wanted good, Spanish tapas. Not at all disappointed. Excellent food, very reasonably priced, nice surroundings and a friendly host. My wife was almost speechless at the quality of the food and was so happy to have fulfilled a foody wish. Thanks."

"Good tapas and service. Food a bit too salty. The smell of cigarettes from people sitting outdoor was not pleasant"
