About Universal People Bar de Tapas
Universal People Bar de Tapas sits in the heart of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, a popular spot where finding food that isn't just for tourists can be a challenge. Judging by the reviews, Universal People is doing something right. Many reviewers were impressed with the quality given its central location. The tapas menu offers a range of options, with several popular choices. Diners often mention the pork in whisky sauce, the goat cheese with marmalade, and the crispy shrimp fritters. Other dishes often mentioned include the fried anchovies and the fried chicken with Moroccan spices. They also have gluten-free options.
