El Rinconcillo

October 3, 2025

A great experience! We decided to go for a sit-down meal upstairs and it was very pleasant. The food was lovely, even if not exactly what we thought we ordered. The two waitresses who looked after us were extremely pleasant and great to talk to (in my poor Spanish). We had a drink in the bar after. What a unique experience!

A Historic Gem in Seville—Delicious Tapas and Wonderful Service! We visited El Rinconcillo, the oldest bar and tapas restaurant in Seville, Spain, and it truly lived up to its reputation. We arrived without a reservation and waited right at opening time — a good tip is to arrive early, as it gets busy and lines form quickly. We started with a refreshing local sangria, which was delicious and perfect for the sunny day (October 9, 2025). Then we ordered a variety of dishes: Boquerones (fried fish), Espinacas con Garbanzos, Huevos con Chorizo, and Carrillada Ibérica en Salsa. OMG—the last one was absolutely amazing! The meat was tender, juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The customer service was excellent, and I want to give special recognition to the Colombian server, who was fantastic — courteous, friendly, and very professional. I highly recommend El Rinconcillo for anyone visiting Seville. The authentic flavors, historic atmosphere, and warm hospitality make it a truly unforgettable experience. ¡Bravo!

This is known as the oldest bar in Seville. Most people would be standing while eating. We made a reservation so we can sit down to enjoy our meal. Not everything was the best, but the place has generally good food. We also weren't able to order the best of what the restaurant had to offer since at this point, we've had a hit too much traditional Spanish food already. The ox tail was very good. Excellent! So yummy and flavorful. Get that! The clams were also pretty good. We got eggplant stuffed with meat but the eggplant wasn't as soft as we hoped it would be. Squid was hard, so I don't recommend that. As for dessert, get something else from what we ordered. I think it's pudding? But the general location of the place and wait staff were good, so I'd still recommend to come here : )

Food was top notch, 5/5. Really enjoyed the oxtail and cod in tomato - they weren’t just tasty… food here was so good I’d line up again just to eat. Great depth of flavour, tender where it needs to be, absolute perfection. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for good tapas. That said, be prepared to line up, and be prepared to stand while eating especially if you do not have a reservation. We came around afternoon (3PM) as a group of 4 with no reservation and it took around 15 min to get in, but the interior is a bit chaotic. That said, service was good, order and you will get your food, and staff was friendly! While I normally dislike standing while eating, I’d say the chaos actually added to the ambiance :)

A traditional Andalusian restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is excellent and the wine impeccable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Reservations are recommended, as otherwise you'll have to eat at high tables. We had a good lunch at El Rinconcillo.
