In this regard, we make your task easy and share the list of favorite chicharrones of some servers. A pure cholesterol route that only those who are willing to delight themselves with the dirtiest snack will admit.
1. Casa Morales
This legendary Sevillian bar stands out for its wide variety of wines and for being one of the best places for tapas in the purest traditional style. It’s usually quite crowded, but it’s worth making a hole at the bar to taste its chicharrones, as well as other tapas such as the pringá montaditos or the cabrales rolls.
📍 c/ García de Vinuesa, 11
2. Álvaro Peregil Tavern
A must for lovers of Andalusian food. One point in its favor is that it is one of the places where they serve the coldest botellín; the other is that they serve the best chicharrones (pork rinds) in Seville . Accompanied by salmorejo and shrimp salad, they become a delight in the heart of the city, a few steps from the Giralda.
📍 c/ Mateos Gago, 20
3. Kiosko La Melva
A stronghold of Sevillania is the Kiosko la Melva, standing since approximately the second third of the last century. This kiosk offers a whole catalog of local products that pair seamlessly with their ice-cold beer.
The melva montaditos are one of its specialties, although they do not detract from other preserves such as mackerel, anchovies or larded meat. And another of its essential elaborations, the one that occupies us along these lines: its addictive chicharrones (pork rinds).

4. Giralda Bar
Go all the way to Parque Alcosa (if you are not from that neighborhood, of course) to eat some chicharrones? The answer is definitely yes, as long as the place is Bar Giralda. Their chicharrones de escándalo (pork rinds) are proof of that. Try them after or before a stroll through the neighborhood should become an obligatory stop.
