About Taberna El tío de La Tiza
Harder to find than it looks on a map, this taberna on a small plaza in the old town earns its queue. On a busy night, waiting an hour for a table is not unusual, and people come back anyway. The kitchen runs on Cádiz's own classics: tortillitas de camarones and patatas aliñás are the two dishes that appear on almost every table, followed closely by pescado frito fried in clean oil, and cazón en adobo for those who know to order it. The fried anchovies are worth noting too. Service moves fast once you're seated, and staff like Ana Belén and Inma are the kind of attentive that regulars mention by name. A group of six eats and drinks here for around €60–70 all in.
In the last 90 days, Taberna El tío de La Tiza has drawn 43 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
