    Seriously one of the best spots for authentic tapas in Barcelona. Mostly locals were present. Everything was superb! Also there homemade vermut wine was something else! 😛

    My favorite restaurant in Barcelona! Get the gambas, bomba, grilled calamari, the fish of the day, razor clams, sardines

    Calamari is the best I've had in Barcelona. The bacalao, blood sausage (morcillas) are also very good. Have the la bomba for a fun starter.

    One of the tastiest things I ever had! Amazing food, absolutely amazing. Do not be fooled by the simple internal design...

    Great down to earth tapas. Delicious calamari (grilled squid), la bomba, grilled artichoke. Bacalao and fried calamari rings looked good too.

    Grilled calamar is exceptional. Prawns are so fresh, delicious bit pricy according to other tapas in restaurant. Environment is so basic, Prices are not cheap, but ok

    A must spot when you do bar hopping at Barceloneta. The hot sauce makes your beer 3 times tastier.

    JASON: Fish is incredibly fresh, make homemade bombas, a fatty ball of mashed potatoes, sometimes with meat stuffing, and mayo on the side. Morning and lunch place, so go by while taking in the area.

    La bomba and Calamari were awesome and artichokes is a must as well. Great atmosphere and friendly service. This year is their 70th anniversary, so that tells you how authentic this place is!

    The real thing. In the old days the fishermen in Barcelona got 1/2 their pay in fish - and then their families made restaurants like "La Cova Fumada"

    Best meal in Barcelona. Tiny seafood focussed tapas bar open weird hours. Stand at the bar and order one of everything.

    The bomba is stupid but tasty. Buy one so this amazing place can pay their bills. But don't leave here without those fucking garbanzos.

    My favourite tapas bar in Barcelona. They're only open until 3pm, cheap, cheerful and serve spectacular seafood. Also try the artichokes.

    Catch the helpful host wearing glasses to explain yourselves in English and get seated on crowds hours.

    This place follows an old local tradition. The fishermen used to get half of their salary in fish, not money. Many fishermen's wives cooked it and sold it in little restaurants. This place is one.

    Muy risas en general y además la comida muy buena, me fui sin probar el calamar, pero fue lo que más me recomendaron, la próxima lo pediré seguro, lo malo es la cola que se forma para entrar.

    Uno de los mejores bares de tapas de la ciudad. Inventaron la bomba. Además, pescado y marisco fresquísimo y desayunos de tenedor con cap i pota y potaje de garbanzos.

    La comida es EXCELENTE. Estar aquí y no comer bombas o pulpo es un pecado!!! Pequeño restaurante de barrio, local, pequeño y muy acogedor. Muy amables todos los que trabajan allí. Volveré :)
