Barra Castizo | Tapas Bar, Centro Sevilla

Friendly and helpful staff. Most of food was delicious. The fish we ordered was not cooked in the middle and it was still cold. We thought the kitchen would take it back and send a new piece, but it just cook the uncooked part which was served earlier.

Very good in general, but expected more from the food. We came in with a reservation and were immediately seated. Ordered drinks and checked the menu. Many fish options, some meats and veggie options. Generally good food but some were a little bland, like it was missing salt or vinniger to bring the taste out. For started the ‘Local tomato salad with scallion, sardine and kalamata vinaigrette’ was very good. As well as the ‘Toast with almadraba tuna, mustard and truffle mayonnaise’, was very refreshing and the tuna tasted not too fishy. The homemade fish croquettes were just fine. For the mains we had the ‘Grilled baby squid with marinara sauce and lemon mayonnaise’ which could’ve been done way better. You couldn’t taste any lemon and the marinara spice was very bland. It needed salt, lemon juice and different spices. The flavor pallet felt like it was meant for meat so it didn’t fit the baby squid at all. Secondly we ordered ‘Free range chicken thigh glazed with roasted pumpkin’ which had a little bit of the same problem. It tasted better than the squid but again something felt very bland. The sauce used could’ve been more tangy and salty. We talked to the table next to us, and they experienced the opposite of everything being way too salty. On the other hand the ‘Castizo rice of the day with Seabass’ was delicious, we enjoyed that dish a lot. Also the dessert ‘Castizo's mild cheesecake’ was very very good and heated up. Nice flavors and good pallet to round everything off. Service was very good, kind and helpful. Also the place gets very packed, and we saw multiple people turned away, due to being fully booked. So making a reservation is very much recommended.

Tapas-style restaurant with great seafood dishes. The squid tasted fresh although the marinara was too sweet in my opinion. The fish of the day (seabass) with bilbiana sauce was really tasty, definitely the favourite. The homemade croquette (scarlet shrimp) was fresh and delicious. It is a nice restaurant and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It is a small restaurant so definitely recommend that you reserve a table.

Year by year the place retains its mark. Most dishes were fantastic. However this time the croquetas were just acceptable - while before I use to order a second portion instead of dessert so good they were. The service has also moved from the top mark to less personal, pass-through experience.

The food was really unique and well prepared! The tables on either side of us also really enjoyed their food. The only dish I might not order again would be the pea/almond soup - because it wasn't actually a soup at all and chilled peas are not my fave.

This is my new favorite spot in Seville ! The service is amazing! Everyone is so sweet ! Love the food ! So fresh and innovative the chef is a genius ! A must visit to anyone who loves fresh seafood and fish! They also have tons of meat options . The fresh tuna toast is my fav & the clams! Also try the desserts !

The food is amazing, the chef is a poet! Lovely atmosphere, friendly waiters, especially Maria and high-quality food for a reasonable price. I came here for dinner every day of my stay in Seville. Hope to be back soon :)

Very nice modern restaurant in Spanish traditions. 👌😉Excellent service and original presentation of dishes!!! 🍒Caramelized chicken and medium-rare pork tenderloin were incredibly tasty😋😋😋 The appetizers also amazed with their exquisite presentation and taste!!

This has been my favorite spot to eat at in Sevilla. So much so that I came twice ! I highly recommend it. Everything is delicious on the menu. The Russian salad is the best I've had in all Spain. The tuna toast is super delicious! Their rice is awesome. There is some construction on the street but you can still walk down the side to get there.

Excellent tapas and fantastic main dishes. Very popular. We didn't have a reservation so we were sat at the bar. Which was excellent to see the beehive of cooks in action. DO eat here!

Had an excellent dinner here. The food was tasty and well prepared (see photos). The service was excellent - while we did try to muddle through with some poor Spanish, our servers happily flipped to English with us. While most of the patrons were locals, they are well equipped for travelers. The space itself is modern and has great vibe. Looking out the window, there was plenty of people watching as they are located in a busy part of Sevilla. Make sure you ask for/check out the daily specials. They have a set of these sitting out in front of the kitchen - while supplies last. What you see is what they have. Their primary menu is full of standard Andalucian tapas prepared very well and priced reasonably. Probably a good idea to make a reservation as we went early and it was full by 9pm.

This is our first restaurant stop in Sevilla and it did a great job meeting our expectations. For those who eat pork belly you will be very surprised and for the vegetarians you will love the artichoke. Give the place a try you will be very happy.

Sevillanos often use the word "castizo" to describe a traditional tapas bar, and Castizo lives up to the all the hype - serving typical regional dishes with freshest seasonal ingredients. We were here on a Monday night but the restaurant is still packed with locals and tourists. Through the open kitchen, you can see the chef and the younger cooks working hard throughout the night - makes for a lively atmosphere. The is a good list of local wines which we ordered the 50 Euro pinot noir that was absolutely gorgeous and interesting. Some of the standout superbly Sevillano dishes included the fried cod balls, the nightly special paella was pork cheek and shrimp that was delightful, and the daily offerings hiding in the seafood bar was a large scallops in a shell, cooked with ginger and coconut milk and olive oil, which was out of this world good!

We just happened to stumble into this wonderful restaurant that was just 3 minutes walk from where we were staying. All the tapas and main dishes were amazing. We love these tapas (appetizers or snacks) that we can order a whole bunch to get all the flavors of what the kitchen has to offer. The pork grinds were the best that we ever had. They were more like little chunk of pork bellies that were perfectly fried. So crunchy, salty and tender with a touch of fat that just melted in your mouth. Must try their sangrias. So fresh and tasty. The servers were friendly and helpful. What a great first meal in Spain!

First one staff came to acknowledge us and then seconds staff showed up literally she was extremely mad ... very Poor service, rude staff and overcharged us even though we did explain that we never got our first order and they said they fix it but we end up paying for what we didn't get.

Service was not great. First impression, the minute u come in we were told we had 1.5 hours to eat. That is expressed in not the most polite manner. Tortilla was a bit cold towards the middle. The ibérico ham was good. The garbanzo beans were not great. The zamburinas were cold and kind of raw. We were disappointed with the food. We referenced TripAdvisor reviews and was not at all in line with the overall experience.

Delicious food, great location, excellent servers. Arrived here late on a Monday night less than an hour after touching down in Seville. They were sadly out of the cauliflower starter, but it was understandable due to our dining time. The wine spritzer was our first ever experience with red wine mixed with tonic water and what a delightful surprise! We shared our plates, chicken with whipped vegetable potatoes, a classic Spanish omelet with potatoes and a crab sauce on top. Shared a salad starter and were too full for dessert! The prices for food are also super affordable, and we walked back to our apt after dinner. Highly recommend!

Incredible food - possibly the best meal of my life and definitely the best tapas I had in Seville / Barcelona. The sauces on their dishes are to die for. Very much recommend the truffle cauliflower, oxtail stew, pork shoulder, prawn croquettes, garlic shrimp, lentil stew (so good). Make sure to get bread service to sop up all the sauces. Server was great (shoutout to Jose) and the good was so delicious. Great digestif to finish it off too.

I rarely post here but this one was worth it. The food was completely overrated - of everywhere great in Sevilla, it was just ok - not bad, just ok (black squid with crispy rice had NO crispy rice and dessert - white chocolate with lime and phyllo was squirts of white chocolate, scoop of lime gelato and a tiny cracker that we decided must have been the phyllo. The best, however, was the service - completely aloof and totally put out that we were even there - terrible service!!! We asked for a 2nd bottle of water, waiter brings new glasses (its water), said we could use our current water glass so he put the new ones on the table and left - they stayed there for the rest of the meal even as other dishes were cleared - diva move did not work...... Seville has too much great food to waste a meal (or the extra price) on this one. Keep searching

Sort of pricey for what you get! Please refer to "Assorted Anchovies" which comprised of 2 slivers of Melba toast with anchovy canapies for 5EU. Drinks were also more expensive here. I ended up here after another restaurant was fully packed. Concierge at my hotel recommended this place, but I was a bit weary since there weren't many reviews and it always seems empty when I walked by... They did have stews on the menu, which is unique for this particular area, both were both vegetarian. Online menu doesn't seem updated to reflect the price we paid. Despite turning down the "pan", one of the waiters tried to add an additional 2EU charge. When I asked him what it was for, he said the sherry that he presented to us at the end of the meal. It seemed like they gave it to everyone. Then I asked another waiter, who spoke more English, and the charge was promptly removed from the bill. If the number of patrons is any indication of how good the food is, this place was only half full while other places were jammed packed!

Delicious good in an easy going setting. Highly recommend! Would. Ertrinkt come again.

Castizo is a modern gastro-tapas place with a nice menu of updated Andalucian tapas and some interesting vegetarian dishes like a roasted cauliflower with aioli. A Sevillian food-loving friend recommended Castizo. There is an open kitchen and watching the chefs work in a constant balletic dance is fun. We thought the food was very good until we had what we considered a rather unprofessional upcharge on the rice of the day. This dish was listed at 7.5 on the menu. We ordered one. It was very good with a deep seafood stock base and was topped by one reasonably sized langoustine. Therein the rub. When our bill came the arroz del dia was listed at 14 E. We questioned that figure and were told that it was 'special' because of the langoustine. No one bothered to tell us that we were buying one very pricey langoustine atop the rice. Too bad, this left a very bad impression and we would have ordered a full plate of meat or fish if we wanted to spend 14 Euros. We also had the bunuelos of bacalao which were very good and a montadito with crispy calamari and aioli. Also good. The Tinto Veranos were massive and very good for 2.5 E. But people... tell your customers when you are doubling their bill for something please. There are too many excellent gastro-tapas places in Seville to put up with getting taken advantage of.
