Fried ‘pescaíto’ is one of the emblems of the city of Seville, albeit a few hundred kilometers from the sea. In the iconic fried fish restaurant Puerta de la Carne, they champion this tapa with an unquestionable quality-price ratio. Liquidize your small ration on the spot or take it home in cartridge format. The marinade, by the way, does not detract at all from the aforementioned frying.

This top restaurant, distinguished with the Bib Gourmand category and among the cheapest in the Michelin Guide, is devoted to Iberian cuisine. Its commitment to mix tradition and creativity is one of the keys to its success. And another of its infallibles is the raw material.

25. “Mantecaíto” | En la espero te esquina (I’m waiting for you on the corner)

Close to the heart of the city, but in a very autochthonous area full of legends, En la espero te esquina is one of the bastions of Sevillania in snack form. Don’t expect a trendy place, because here tradition is served on the plate.
Imagine how a toasted mollete crepitates and its corresponding sirloin steak marked and simmered in whiskey or brandy sauce. Huge (and justified amounts of garlic) and fried potatoes, also inside this montadito. This is exactly what you will experience here, two steps away from the Plaza del Salvador. One of the best tapas in Seville that you must try quickly if you are in the area.
📍 c/ Corral del Rey, 10
26. Codfish: Bodega Dos de Mayo

This is one of the classics dedicated to tapas in the center of Seville. The service is excellent and the traditional food eaten here is a delight: potato omelette, sirloin steak with whiskey, octopus salad, anchovies, shrimp omelette ….
But in Bodega Dos de Mayo they are tangentially devoted to cod, to which in fact they dedicate a chapter. This one in particular is one of our favorites.
📍 Plaza de la Gavidia, 6
27. Chicharrones: Casa Morales
This mythical bar stands out for its wide variety of wines and for being one of the best places to have tapas in Seville in the traditional style and in the center of the city.

📍 c/ García de Vinuesa, 11
28. Crispy chicken wings with bbq sauce | Ovejas Negras Tapas

Deciding on something here is like choosing your favorite child. It’s always difficult, but it’s clear to us that, among the dishes that revolutionize their new menu, the crispy chicken wings with bbq sauce deserve a special mention.
Another alternative for lovers of addictive bites is their roasted eggplant and emmental cheese pepito or the chicken and vegetable gyozas. Economic and addictive options to repeat again and again.
📍 c/ Hernando Colón, 8
29. Buñuelos de rabo de toro (bull’s tail fritters) | Taberna de Alabardero

Possibly Taberna de Alabardero is not one of the best places for tapas in Seville. What is clear is that it is one of the gastronomic meccas of the hispalense, one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city and the continuous promise to improve and surpass its menu.
Among its dishes there is no lack of taste, culinary expertise and avant-garde and among the most exquisite tapas prepared here we celebrate its fritters of oxtail stew or goat milk and ham croquettes.
📍 c/ Zaragoza, 20
30. Calamari sandwich – Zelai

In Zelai they allow themselves all the gastronomic licenses to achieve the best fusion of flavors. Among the tapas to start your gastronomic journey, the squid sandwich with rocoto sauce and sweet potato chips is an excellent choice.

31. Rabo de toro (oxtail ) – Las Piletas
Reinventing oneself is not always necessary and Las Piletas knows that. When something turns out well, as is the oxtail they prepare here, logic dictates that tradition should be maintained. You can opt for this succulent tapa and go in the mornings to taste their also remarkable Andalusian breakfast.
📍 c/ Marqués de Paradas, 28
32. Caracoles | Cervecería Pepe Cruz ‘Casa Pepito’.

Spices, garlic and mint are the basic elements that complete this delicacy. Such is its success that Casa Pepito can serve between 100 and 120 kilos of snails per day. One of the most celebrated spring and summer tapas in Seville, which could not be missing in this ranking.
📍 c/ Previsión, 8
