Bar La Tita

Restaurant recommended by a friend of mine. I had the best Spanish tortilla ever in my life. I won't regret having lunch here. The staff and hardworking and friendly. The food is amazing (not only the tortillas). Highly recommended restaurant.

The most famous tapas place in Santiago. Always busy, but managed to get a table outside. You get a free portion of tortilla with a drink and I would also recommend their Galician style octopus (pulpo a la Gallega), with olive oil and smoked paprika on top, very tasty.👌

We tried to get a table during the two days we were in Santiago but was not only impossible, the staff was a bit not too friendly, just to put this in a nice way (understandable due to how busy the place was (?) ) Anyway, we ordered a large Spanish omelette for 9 people, which to our surprise, was one of the worst we’ve ever tried. It was absolutely tasteless and didn’t even look good (see picture attached). During our journey on “El Camino de Santiago” we tried others that were so much better than this. It could just be a “bad day” however the 9 of us (all Spanish by the way) thought it was absolutely terrible. If this place was ever that good, I hope they’re not sacrificing quality food for money and can rectify before it’s too late.

Very attentive waitrons, tapas beautifully presented & very tasty, drinks come with complementary tapas side dishes as per custom in Galicia. I had the ⭐ Estrella Galicia negra 0% alcohol , served ice cold ❄️, my wife had the bottled pineapple 🍍 juice. We ate Pulpo a Feira, and Zamburiña ( delicious 🤤😋) as per 2 last photos respectively.

This place was recommended by a tour guide. She said it was famous for its tortilla española (spanish potato omlette) which comes for free when you order a drink. She said that during the high season, the people line up down the street, so be careful. We showed up and went inside - we asked a waiter about getting a table and he said to go to the bar to put our names on the list. They will ask you if you want to sit inside, outside, or "egual" - we asked for a table inside because it was pretty chilly that day. As soon as we sat down and ordered our first drink, a vermouth, we were almost immediately served with a nice slice of tortilla with a little piece of bread in a little ceramic bowl. It was a good tortilla - it was made with caramelized onions, which is just how I like it. While it was great, I didn't feel like it was better than I had eaten elsewhere (I like the free one at Bar Caña Hueca better, and they have a great selection of vermouth to boot). Still, if you are hungry and on a budget, you could pop in here for a beer and satisfy your hunger for free. We saw one younger dude do just that - he came in solo, grabbed a beer, ate his tortilla and left. After the tapa, we wanted to try a couple of things. We ordered their fried calamari, which was served on a bed of french fries - that combination really worked. Their croquettes were amazing and basically as good as the ones we had tried at the Michelin starred Simpar (which won an award for best croquette in Spain). Highly recommend their croquettes - we got the jamon ones. Next we wanted to try something different and went with (I forget the name) breaded chicken cutlet which was pounded thin and friend that came with a salad. This wasn't anything unusual, but it was hearty. We finished our meal sharing a dessert. They had a coffee flan that day. One of them was more than big enough to share and it was also excellent. Overall good vermouth, good beer, good to great bar food and excellent dessert. Definitely worth a stop - just head to the front and put your name in. Then you can hang around outside until they come out and shout your name.

Ordered patatas bravas and this is what we got. Fries with spicy ketchup, not even similar to traditional patatas bravas, very disappointed. When asked the staffed and showed a picture from another review, they said this is patatas bravas they serve, which clearly isn’t looking at their menu. Good tortilla de patatas free of charge when you get the drink and amazing sangria. Can’t even split the bill, staff not very friendly.

Let’s be honest, this place is a Tik-Tok phenomenon, but is one of the few that overcomes the trends. Its tortilla de patata is amazing and its staff service even when at a first glance could see engreidos, they are really funny and nice (specially Brian)

Probably the most famous spot in Santiago. You get a small portion of tortilla (Spanish omelette) with the first drink, and it tastes really good. We also had octopus and scallops, which were great. Especially the scallops had an amazing garlic oil thin sauce. Long queues depending on the time you go, I'd recommend going at times when it tends to be quieter, like early in the afternoon. They get your name, and when a table is ready they shout your name so you can get your reservation.

Great cheap local spot. Their omelet was huge, cheap, and excellent. Our tour guide recommended this restaurant then when we came we saw a waitress from another restaurant hanging out here. We wanted some snacks but the omelet was so big that we end up skipping dinner. The free egg and bread that they served was almost a meal in itself. Friendly, informal servers who kid around and chat with you.

Amazing tortilla! We arrived in Santiago on a Monday night and couldn't believe how incredibly busy Hospidaje Bar La Tita was. It was packed full of students probably because of the free tapa of tortilla Española (Spanish potato omelette) that you get with every drink - €1 for a caña - about 250-300 ml of beer. We've eaten a lot of tortilla and the tortilla here is probably the best we ever eaten - it just melts in your mouth!! No one (except us) was eating anything else in this bar - we also had a salad and some croquetas which were nice but unremarkable, and some very good house made desserts.

I had planned on spending a few days in Santiago after the Camino and bookmarked La Tita after reading the reviews. Glad I did as it was exactly the local tapas place I was looking for. We came in a group of 6 and had a 10 min wait for a table which is a good sign as it was very popular with the locals. We got an outside table which was perfect for people watching. The service was a little slow but understandable given the number of tables our waiter was serving and how busy the place was. The staff were very pleasant. And the tapas did not disappoint. All the dishes were quite good and reasonably priced. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend La Tita if in Santiago de Compostela and looking for tapas.

The Spainsh potato tortilla is quite good and abundant. The close proximity to the Basillica makes it a good option for an afternoon coffee and snack

5 stars for the tortilla / 0 for the service. Although their hours are posted as 9, I was brusquely told by the waiter with long curly grey hair that I could eat starting from 10. When I returned he made a big fuss about my covid vaccination pass, which has not presented a problem anywhere else in France or Spain, but it was apparently fine enough for me to be allowed service after his vague scolding. After I ate the indeed excellent and indeed very cheap tortilla I asked to buy another portion, and was told simply 'no', as I was when I subsequently asked for a glass of water. I was audibly and visibly mocked and insulted by this waiter to his coworkers behind the counter. I can only say the very good tortilla is only worth it if you have a thick skin for being treated like some kind of miscreant by such contemptuous staff.

First afternoon in Santiago. We came to La Tita following the recommendation of the hotel staff. We had cañas de cerveza con tortilla de papas (free appetizer with the drinks) that were delicious (so yellow and runny!) chicken cutlets (milanesas de pollo) wee also delicious. Our waiter, Ivan was very friendly. Highly recommended place for a quick bite.

Tortilla is a TAD salty, but I was spoiled and raised on Cordoba's tortilla and honestly it's still incredibly tasty and contrasts with a beer well - plus it's totally worth getting it for free with your caña. Pulpo de feira is also incredible, and prices are super reasonable - I'm a huge fan! I only wish I was in town longer so I could come back!!

Great food! The tortillas were amazing as well as the hamburgers!! My only complaint was that service was a bit slow (probably because they were super busy) but they were super friendly!
