Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Saturday evening; average quality food, selection was great either; average prices; no good vibes, rather loud, didn’t like the lights; service was very friendly but understaffed, couldn’t handle all guests; not all food came out but was put on the bill. In a nutshell: no...recommendation.More

Great restaurant with an awesome value for money ratio! The service is super fast and friendly. When you order, do it in 2-3 steps Cozy and typical Spanish Tapas - Loved it

We really enjoyed the food. Great tapas and good service However poor acoustics in the room making it almost impossible to have a dialoque with your friends. Ruined a little of the experience.

Very local! Fantastic tapas. 1 vegetarian with us - she struggled a little with options, but overall we loved. Great mallorcan wine too at 18 Euros a bottle!

The food was bland without finesse or care and the staff was neither attentive or sympathetic. Not the culinary experience we had hoped for.

We were in Palma for a week and went to this restaurant on our first night and went back for a second time. Each tome I had lamb chops, which were absolutely delicious. Wine , atmosphere and service were all good.

Very traditional tapas and good value. I would note however all food comes out within two minutes of ordering, so better to order a few dishes at a time rather than all at once. Loved the dates wrapped in bacon.

We came to this restaurant because we liked the way it looked and felt "from the outside looking in". Once in, the impressions remained the same. Wonderful food and atmosphere. We especially liked shrimps with garlic and sausage in red wine.

This is a great little place reliable good quality tapa and wine but very popular, for the obvious reasons , so difficult to get in without a booking. It is all inside and can get very hot so try and get a table in the...lover 'cave' room as it has good air conditioning there. The service was good and fast. It is a shame that the Taverna La Bovida around the corner is permanently closed as there was outside space there. Well worth a visit ...book ahead !More

We've been going here for 25 years, and have always recommended it to friends and visitors to the island. Our recent experience was of not enough staff,(slow service), and in particular small portions compared to other restaurants. The chipirones portion was half the normal size,...for the full price! Disappointing overall!More

Great quality tapas. The floor was under staffed and the little staff that they did have were not friendly to customers. We were left waiting at the door for 25 minutes without any acknowledgment. If the service was better they would have a cracking restaurant.

I would urge you to avoid this restaurant. My experience here was disappointing: (1) the waiter and staff were quite rude, giving us the cold shoulder, and were unwilling to engage (2) there are very very few vegetarian meals (most have meat and/or seafood) (3)...the quality of the food is alright, but not exceptional. It is definitely not worth the price. (4) as per the last point, the meal was far too expensive. Please consider a different place if you’re looking for a nice meal.More
