Apartment Barcelona

Jai-Ca is always buzzing. The pescadito frito is a house favorite, as is the salpicón con gambitas. The terrace outside is equally full of life and is a great place to enjoy lunch in the summer months

Alexandra Dekanova

It's a cosy place where locals hangout , hidden away from the touristy promenade. Very tasty local barceloneta tapas and the best sangria ever ever ever. Get the table outside , it's worth the wait.

Yana T

Great place. Locals are sitting next to us which is a good sign. Get a table outside (you can sit inside and wait until someone outside leaves then ask waiter move your dishes). Seafood 's delicious

Dan Murphy

Amazing tapas , great atmosphere, authentic and non-touristy. Authentic lively Barcelona with delicious food and great atmosphere. If you come to Barcelona you MUST come here.

Meltem Balcı

Probably my favorite place in the universe . Food is perfect, it is a very local tapas place in Barcelona. Everything there is super delicious and really value for money . Especially chipirones!!!

Rachel Doyle

Great local spot for fresh tapas although it's becoming a bit more touristy recently. You can't make a reservation so expect to queue for 20-30 minutes. It's worth the wait.

Coco Cat

Lovely place, filled with locals(December)-always full: 10-15 min waiting time.Good tasty tapas . Friendly staff . Downside:brought one plate at a time after long intervals that could have been combined

Pablo Fernandez

Typical tapas bar , cheap ans really good. If you want to know what spanish tapas looks like, that s the place in Barceloneta. Bartenders are really nice.

Alina Netesova

Tasty food, great drinks, authentic atmosphere! No matter where we were trying to have dinner , we've ended up there every night, at least for drinks and music ????

Sander van Leeuwen

Very popular tapas bar ; probably the best in Barceloneta. You'll almost certainly have to wait to be seated (leave your name at the bar ) but the wait is absolutely worth it!

Abk 56

Good food (gambas , mussels , octopus à la Galicia, ...). The location is authentic bistro style. Service is a bit slow.

Ceciel Mulders

Great for tapas ! Their ensaladilla rusa is the best. But you should also try the gamba 's planxa and the chiperones. Very friendly service !

Simon Khoury

Authentic Tapas bar , very good prices and generous portins. Frequented by locals and tourists alike (a good sign). Ask for the specialty drink . Seafood Tapas especially good.

Erdem Tosun

Good place for lunch . Good food for a good price. We liked “bomba” and Andulusian Style Calamari . Cava is always the best suits with those:)

Jarek M.

Generally great food and generous servings , a pint of beer and tapas is exactly what you need after the day spent on the beach . Sit outside and enjoy!

Maikel Janssen

A good crowd, good tapas and a place at the bar is perfect.

Andre Rauch

If you want to meet locals, and dine like locals in Barceloneta check this Tapas place out. Very authentic cuisine .

Saskia Kempers

Chaotic, cosy, funny to watch and really good tapas ! Go here if you want to experience the real barcelona.

Yury Shevchenko

Amazing place, packed by locals and very chaotic, prepare to fight for your seats. Ask for vermouth , patata con carne, crab claws and, well , pretty much everything else.

Ola Pawlicka

Very good tapas . Lots of amazing seafood and vegetarian dishes ! Reasonable prices. The first location is a bit nicer,altho always full.

Mish and Rob

OMG the vermouth . Get the vermouth . And enjoy it while sitting among lots of lively locals (and tourists - if you're there in summer).

Mateus Potumati

The best tapas in Barceloneta . Try the seafood : the navajas, chipirones and the buñuelos de baccala are amazing! Great staff , too.

Tamay Gündüz

Try the fried Aubergines , they are amazing. Generally speaking this place is amazing: good food, nice snd vety fast service , moderate prices .

Teresa Schilder

Authentic and rustic tapas and fish , casual but professional service . Don't expect anything fancy . It's a traditional tapas experience. Locals go there.

Ania Sołtysiak

Jai-Ca is hidden from tourists , you can meet there locals watching football with friends and family. Good sangria , fast service .

Jason Pickens

Tapas are great here. Cheap drinks and good local vibe. Get the cuttlefish fritters . Yums.

Noah Norman

This is a small, low-key joint with a good selection of thoroughly unhealthy, thoroughly delicious Spanish tapas .

Oscar van Gend

Great tapas , lost of choice. Not many tourists know this place. There is an English menu though. Moderatly cheap .

Some of the tapas dishes are really good. Best bacalao bonyoles . Although touristy still authentic

Delicious Seafood . Check out the pulpo . Crowded , loud and very charming. A must on a trip to Barcelona.

Had the Pimientos de Padron and shrimps . Nice small place. I think I was the only tourist tonight

Very crowded , gut atmosphere, real tapas !!! Makes sense to wait a little if all seats are taken!

Philippa Wadsworth

Gambas , grilled eggplant , patates, etc excellent! We'll be back

Alex Simon

Focus on seafood - cockles and clams were great

Anya Gregory

Great local tapas . Fresh and good quality. Definitely will be back!

Bambarche

The papas bravas are great. Also the potatoes with egg is good. Had tomato bread was OK and fish was OK too. Very noisy place and no good for families or kids.

Tobias Schäfer

Awesome Tapas ! Seafruit and meat!

Daniel Sequeira

Great place for seafood tapas , but the quality of the service sometimes is not the best

Gabriel Jorby

Order slowly. Two dishes for two people, with drinks is really enough to start.

Excellent atmosphere, and demonstrates the point that tapas is not supposed to fill you up but to get you to socialize. They taste great here and there's a great variety of them. - Laszlo Letai

We ended here looking for cheap beer after hot day at beach. With our broken Spanish, we still tasted some great tapas. The lovely owner gave us vermouth in the end! Loved the reverent flamenco vibe! - Shaileshwori Sharma
