This place is FUN! Get ready to elbow your way (gently) to the bar, and order from a wide variety of excellent tapas. The prices are very reasonable. The bartenders are have got attitude, but in a good and playful way. They might assume you want to have a beer, but I made sure to try out various sherry wines, which they also have. Plenty of tourists, but plenty of Spaniards here, too. With a bit of luck, you can grab a table the instant one becomes free. I've walked by here 5 times in the past three days and it's packed every time. But don't give up -- just get to the bar. Or maybe you can even find a table outside. Enjoy!

A real tapas bar. Not a tourist trap. All the tapas from the kitchen are at 3.10 euros. A beer 1.70 You will have a lot of food like 5 different dishes and 3 beers for 22-23 euros. Cold and hot dishes. One of my favorite is fried eggplant with honey!

We were lucky to grab a table quick around 12:30. We each ordered a Chicken in broth with potato and bread tapa, which was tasty, and the chicken was tender, cooked well and fell from the bone. I had a glass of sangria and it was cool and refreshing on a warm day. This is in a tourist hot spot so I’m not sure it is a local feel, but it was close to where we were. The only negative has little to do with the establishment and that is the smokers were pretty heavy there the day we went.

Good place to try local food. The prices here are good and the value for money as well. You can stand outside to enjoy the sun and a drink or sit inside. The food is served very quickly. The perfect place to try different flavors of the culture!

A great place where you can try local food. The crowd was so big that we hardly found a place at least at bar. Which turned out to be a great thing, because the gentleman who served us was very interesting and very helpful. Although I speak little Spanish, I understood everything and it was very interesting to me. So much so that I didn't even bother to order anything, I just let him present the tapas that are the specialties of the house. It was delicious. I especially liked the Montadito de Pringa and Carillada. I would love to go back to this place. All recommendations.

If you want tapas with soul, noise, and a splash of glorious chaos - Bodega Santa Cruz “Las Columnas” is the place to plant yourself (if you can find a spot). This legendary tapas bar sits just steps from the cathedral, and yes, it’s always packed… This is old-school Andalusian charm at its finest: orders shouted over clinking glasses and to get a place good luck elbowing your way to the counter. The tapas? Ridiculously good for the price. The montaditos are tiny flavour and the fried goodies come out golden, crispy, and unapologetically addictive. Order a cruzcampo or two—because cold beer tastes better when you’re standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers who are also having the time of their lives. Fair warning: don’t expect fancy seating, personal space, or a quiet conversation. This is a fun, messy, delicious adventure—like being adopted by a loud Andalusian family for 20 minutes. Prices are great so be prepared to drink and even eat on the street with your bunch of crazy friends

This is the place to be while in Seville. Enjoy the Cathedral and after the visit head straight up to this magical full of live spot for food and drinks. It’s soooo busy and so different, so real in its simplicity. Atmosphere is unreal, very authentic. Food portions are great. We enjoyed hour time while having quick snack during the visit of Seville. Tapas are great price, sangria (red) is delicious - homemade! Enjoy

My husband and I chose this place for our very first tapas experience and OMG it was overwhelming but so much fun Thank you Senor Manuel for being patient with us! He was super friendly and nice. You are the best!!!! We just went up to the bar and ordered with no problem. The serving time was super fast! We were able to grab a seat later on and made friends with people sitting around us. Everything was delicious and so much fun! Highly recommended just for the experience but food was also good. Huevas fritas was our favorite
