About Taberna Casa Manteca

Fewer frills than most places calling themselves a tapas bar, and that is exactly the point. The walls carry carnival posters and old photographs, and the room has the feel of somewhere that has never needed to impress anyone. No reservations: you stop by, give your name, and they find you when a table opens — Javi and the rest of the team move the floor with enough ease that the wait rarely feels like one. The tortillitas de camarones are the reason people keep coming back, and the kitchen makes them almost entirely of shrimp. The chicharrones arrive with a squeeze of lemon, the chocos are fried just right, and the salmorejo — served with jamón and an olive oil ice cream — is the kind of thing that changes how you think about a dish. Take-away is also an option.

In the last 90 days, Taberna Casa Manteca has drawn 29 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
