Los Toreros

Es un buen lugar si te gustan las tapas, tienen todo tipo de tapas y está en pleno centro de Barcelona. Recuerdo la última vez que fui, sólo volaban tapas era una locura, aparte teníamos barra libre de sangría y a parte de disfrutar tapeando nos divertimos mucho.
El lugar está totalmente ambientado en toros, toreros y muy Español. Los extranjeros que encuentran el lugar les encanta por el ambiente que hay, siempre hay muchísima gente. La calidad precio es buena y si vas en grupo es genial porque tiene bastante espacio y puedes comer tranquilamente, reír, hablar y liarla un poquito.
Te aconsejo que si quieres ir has de hacer reserva anticipada, ya que siempre está llenísimo. Ves en grupo te divertirás con tantas tapas y tanta sangría!

tapas were nothing special, service quite unfriendly, and the atmosphere not very authentic… definitely not recommended.

Great Paella, however it’s my first dish in Barcelona so I have nothing to compare it to. I couldn’t image it tasting any better, the seafood was fresh and was cooked perfectly. I attempted to speak Spanish then the waitress started to speak English so ordering was easy. Free fast wifi. As I paid my bill we took shots together to top off a great experience in Barcelona.

Funky little joint with friendly staff and good food. We had a mixed salad, the bacalao croquettes and the seafood paella for two with a bottle of very nice dry white wine. Food was delicious and very reasonable. We couldn’t finish it all. For me, the paella could have been a little more dry and crisp on the bottom but that’s just me.
It was a good mix of locals and tourists and we sat for a couple of hours listening to the various languages and watching people discover the food and enjoy their meals. We didn’t try the sangria but most people did, including a couple of young spaniards who ordered a pitcher of it along with the seafood paella.

Huge tapas plates — and tasty too.
Service was average but overall great value.
I wouldn’t recommend the steak but everything else we had was great.

Mal. Muy mal. Comida muy muy normalita. Croquetas congeladas. Raciones escasísimas. Y lo peor, un olor a alcantarilla generalizado en todo el local.
Llegué a sentir cierto asco.
El servicio aceptable.
La decoración, muy taurina. Si os gusta, bien. No es mi caso.
No volveré jamás.

Ridiculously tasty hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurant. Amongst the many tourist trap restaurants, Toreros seemed the most benign on pricing. Two standouts were the roasted pimientos (roasted peppers with a generous sprinkle of huge salt crystals) and the lomo a la gallega (pork loin in Galician style). Perfect first dinner in Spain!

I would give it negative stars if possible. Agreeing with another Unilocaler below, the worst food we had in Barcelona. We saw all the Unilocal reviews for seafood paella and were specifically coming here for that, and we walked to the restaurant all the way from La Sagrada Familia. We were seated quickly, and our first waiter automatically announced he didn’t speak English and left. No one else came to help our table for at least ten minutes. Finally another waiter begrudgingly came over and took our order. We wanted to split the paella between the four of us and he announces the kitchen has run out of paella for the rest of the night. Sorry, what?! How is that possible? We all grumpily return to our menus and pick other things we didn’t really want. What we should have done is gotten up and left.
After we are brought our food, nothing is remarkable, noteworthy, or decent, two other tables of people are sat in front and behind us. Both are speaking Spanish, and both order paella. Within the next twenty minutes they are both brought large servings of paella. I flagged down the waiter, extremely pissed off, and ask why they are being served paella when we weren’t able to order it. He says they called on the phone and ordered it before they got here and they saved it for them. Really… both separate parties ordered paella and you saved it for them? Yeah… okay.
We ended up chatting with the table behind us when they heard we didn’t get paella. They admitted they hadn’t called ahead and had no idea why they wouldn’t serve us the dish. They were even nice enough to put some on a plate and let us all try a little. Thanks, guys! It was good, but not good enough to even give this place even one star.
Our waiter came over and brought us each a slice of honeydew to make up for the «mixup». Keep your stupid honeydew and learn some professionalism and manners. I don’t know if they wouldn’t serve us because we didn’t speak Spanish, if we were Americans, or what, but here’s a newsflash. In America it’s customary to tip well because servers rely on those tips. Most Americans are accustomed to this and tip well all over the world, and our server would have been very happy at the end of the meal if he didn’t treat us like dirt beneath his shoes.

This is a hidden gem! Had a seafood paella which was really good and the sangria was awesome as well. We went there as a large group and the restaurant was accommodating. Overall our experience was good!

The worst meal we had in Barcelona. Not sure how this place has 4 stars. It’s not a one star, because the food is edible but it is two stars because it tasted bad. We had the seafood paella (which was NOT good), and a few other items off the tapas menu which were equally as poor.
The food didn’t taste fresh but the service was ok. I would not come back here and wanted to make sure more Unilocalers didn’t get burned by the 4 star rating like we did

end up at the place because of so many positive reviews. We had six different tapas… sea snails no good at all, blood sausage with fried onion not bad, grilled calamity ok, sliced ham horrendous (i did not think it was possible to have bad ham in Spain), baby octopus also no good (rubbery, tiny, oily over-​fried) …service less then OK, traditional décor could have been been enjoyable if the food be any good

Visited the place because of the positive reviews here. Had paella and sangria for two. Very good food, portion size and friendly staff for a reasonable price! Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this place! Located just off Las Rablas, so didn’t seem as touristy as many of those tapas bars. It also has a traditional feel. The restaurant is great for groups of all size.
We ordered patatas bravas, croquetas de pollo, pinchos (pork), chorocitos diablo and calamari. All of the dishes were very good! After five dishes split between two people, we were stuffed. My personal favorites were: patatas bravas, chorocitos diablo and pinchos. My girlfriend enjoyed: patatas bravas, chicken croquetes, and calamari.
We also ordered 1L of the red wine sangria which was good and strong.
This was one of our favorite meals in Barcelona! Strongly recommend this place. We for sure will be back next time we are in Barcelona.

Oh my gosh… the seafood paella. i’m tempted to buy another $ 1,500 plane ticket to Barcelona just so i can eat it again.
I stayed in Barcelona for a month and had a lot of paella and decided to try this place as a recommendation from a friend and it was by far thee BEST place for seafood paella. Our waiter was super funny and friendly and didn’t treat us like dumb tourists for ordering paella for dinner (you’re supposed to eat it for lunch). The seafood was plentiful and the rice was perfect. It’s right off La Rambla but hidden enough in the alleys that it doesn’t make it very touristy. The next time I come to Barcelona i’m coming back everyday!

I’m baffled by the positive reviews. Absolutely atrocious experience. The tapas were mostly just frozen supermarket quality and the entrecôte was despicable.

Well we almost missed our ship because of this awesome restaurant.
We enjoyed a very nice and casual lunch here… Sharing a very large paella, fresh bread, and some olives.
The paella was as expected: very good. The service was also great.
The benefit of this place is that you’re close to La Rambla and our hotel in our case (Le Meridean) but not so close that you’re paying the La Rambla Tourist Premium
I highly recommend this little joint to anyone looking for a very substantial portion of excellent paella.

One of the best places for tapas and paella! Must try in your visit to Barcelona. This place has a very Spanish feel, with traditional decorations and cozy lighting. Our party of 3 ordered/​shared the pulpos, pimientos rellenos con queso crema, morcilla con cebolla and la paella mixta for 2 people (min 2 people to order a paella), all delicious and plenty of food for all. We tried the sangria, a bit stronger than what we were used to but still very good, and the house wine, which is sold by the glass and half bottle. Prices are very reasonable. I totally recommend this place, in fact, I plan to go back before leaving Barcelona.

I’m here at this restaurant as I write this, ordered the Paella con pollo y verduras (for minimum 2 people) and it was SO GOOD! I’ve eaten at a couple of other restaurants in Barcelona and I was completely satisfied with this restaurant! Ended my meal with the Crème Brûlée and it was very good. I recommend this place who is looking for delicious spanish food!

Phenomenal seafood paella and grilled calamari. Note that you need at least two people to order the paella. We had sangria, grilled calamari and seafood paella. It managed to stimulate my taste bud after days and nights of 5 star treats from a luxury cruise ship. MUST TRY!

I would definitely come back for the food and especially location.
Next time I would order Fried Calamari and Seafood Paella. If available, the Rabo del Toro should be tried. Additionally there is a large variety of tapas to choose from at reasonable prices.

I came here for paella and my wishes were beyond granted. My friend and I split the seafood, vegetable and chicken paella and it was enough food for four people at least (we ended up taking home leftovers). It was so tasty and got better the more we ate it! Scallops, mussels and prawns with the heads still on made for an excellent (if slightly intimidating) seafood medley. The chicken was ok but not great, but the flavors of the paella itself, the seafood and the grilled peppers more than made up for the chicken. The bill was € 12,50 a person, not bad at all!

Hacía tiempo que quería probar este sitio que está en pleno centro ravalense. Fuimos una tarde-​noche de sábado unas 6 amigas y pudimos coger mesa de milagro, porque era pronto, y teníamos que dejarla antes de las 22h por estar reservada, así que aconsejo llamar antes para reservar sobretodo durante el fin de semana.
La carta es extensa y nos decidimos por varias tapas, todo correcto aunque nada del otro mundo: las croquetas, chipirones, bravas…). Lo que quizás me gustó menos fue el pulpo a la gallega (he probado de mejores), aunque de precio está muy bien y es un sitio perfecto para ir en grupo y poder liarla un poquito.

We were in Barcelona for only one night, Sunday, and this was one of only a few of the best tapas restaurants open. (Most restaurants of note in Barcelona are closed on Sunday, and/​or, Monday.)
Didn’t have to wait for a table, but, once we were seated, the service team took a while to get going. Once we had all our dishes ordered, cheap vino poured, and when the tapas arrived, all was well. Depending on seasonality/​availability, I recommend ordering their excellent razor clams; stuffed peppers were also very good.
This is one of those great everyday places, filled with a good mix of tourists and locals alike. Nice vibe.

Vom Desert wird abgeraten: Ein bisschen abgeranzt kommt es schon daher. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, spricht es heute eher größere Gruppen mit ihren speziellen Menüs an. Eine Menge Fotos an den Wänden machen dem Restaurantnamen alle Ehre und fast hört man die Menschenmassen in einer Arena. Tolle Zeitzeugen, auch wenn ich zugegebenermaßen den Stierkampf null abgewinnen kann. Die Tapas sind bodenständig und lecker, der Preis völlig i.O. Auf die Dessertkarte sollte man jedoch lieber verzichten. Zum einen gibt es längst nicht, was die Karte verspricht, zum anderen sind Desserts offensichtlich nicht des Kochs Stärke.

Restaurant a tapas assez classique, la cuisine y est simple et bonne. Un repas tres correct pour un budget raisonnable.

Ideal para ir con muchos amigos y ponerte ciego a comer colesterol por un precio muy bajo.

Olé, Olé.
La España de tapas, embutidos, corridas de toros, mesones, flamenco, y todos los maniqueísmos españoles, incluidas sus ventajas y desventajas. Todo esto puedes encontrar en «Los Toreros», restaurante pensando para venir en grupo. Sólo en grupo. Porque si vienes solo, te encontrarás con miles de personas que no te dejarán en paz con sus gritos y más chillidos.
Aquí puedes esperar tu fritanga mientras bebes tu sangría. Get the concept? Los menús van súper bien de precio, por 18 €, te pegas una comilona «made in Spain», que no olvidarás fácilmente.

Solo he ido una vez, pero juro no volver nunca más.
Una fiesta de cumpleaños, un grupo de unas 15 personas fuimos a cenar a los Toreros. Para empezar, a mi lo de comer rodeada de elementos relacionados con los toros, los toreros y todo este rollo no me gusta nada pero bueno, vamos a hacer como que no lo vemos y ya está. Si al menos la comida y el trato hubieran sido correctos, no lo odiaría tanto. Unas tapas sosas, sin ninguna gracia, poca cantidad y un vino peleón malísimo que fue lo único que consiguió hacer que aguantara lo que duró la cena.
El restaurante estaba a petar de grupos, sobretodo de adolescentes, que no paraban de chillar y hacer show del suyo y los camareros iban a tope para aquí y para allá sin poder atender debidamente a las diferentes mesas.
Y encima, pagamos un pastizal que no veas. No me acuerdo pero fue algo tipo 20 y pico euros por comer poco, mal y beber vino malísimo.

Jarras de sangría y vino peleón sobrevuelan raciones de gambas, calamares a la romana, chipirones, embutidos, quesos y pan con tomate. Más de cinco personas por mesa y puede que alguna pareja de guiris despistados. A medida que pasan las horas y las jarras van bajando, la temperatura sube, se pasa de la risa a la carcajada, de la carcajada al grito y del grito al cántico.
La decencia, el «seny» y el saber estar se dejan en la puerta. En Los Toreros gobiernan el desmadre, el jolgorio y la alegría. ¿Que corra el vino!

La cabeza del toro exhibe astas largas y fiereza amenazante, muerto y colgado de la pared.
Pero la bravura es en realidad pánico.
Acorralado en la plaza circular trató de abrirse camino a través del manto rojo, pero recibió la estocada final.
Suena «Into the Arena» de Michael Schenker dentro de mi cabeza mientras repaso el museo del holocausto animal.

Es un restaurante muy cerca de las ramblas, un poco escondido.
Si piensas ir solo o en pareja a este restaurante, mejor olvídalo, porque es un restaurante 100% para grupos.
Los menús son todo de tapas, y estos varían su precio en función del numero de tapas que se sirven, o lo que es lo mismo, en función de lo grande que sea el grupo.
Quizás los precios te parecerán un poco caros, pero ya te digo que no vas a salir con hambre, y que vas a comer muy bien.
En este restaurante es típico pedir grandes cantidades de sangría para animar la cena, y te encontraras muchas cenas de grupos de universitarios, empresas, etc.
Antes de ir, llamad para reservar mesa, o no vais a tener sitio, y cuando salgáis, no la liéis mucho y empezeis a chillar por fuera, porque los vecinos están un poco cansados, y os tiraran agua por encima o por el lado para asustaros y intentar echaros.

Restaurante situado en el centro de Barcelona, a la derecha de las ramblas. Ideal para cena de grupos ya que es un local muy grande, formado por varias salas.
La comida está basada en las tapas. Las hay de todos los tipos y variedades. La enorme mesa en la que os senteis la llenan de platos de todo tipo como: jamon, pan con tomate, croquetas, calamares, mejillones, salchichas,…
Los precios varían dependiendo del tipo de menu que elijas (unos 15 euros mínimo). La bebida tambien es a lo grande, pudiendo eligir entre sangría, vino y cerveza.
Por último, si quiereis comer allí os recomiendo que hagais SIEMPRE la reserva por teléfono ya que el restaurante siempre está lleno y os podeis encontrar sin mesa.

Sympa
Ce restaurant est pas trop cher: pour 10 euro vous avez quoi de vous caler en tapas et la nourriture n’est pas mauvaise le personnel est sympa et en plus il vous offre un digestif à la fin du repas.

Muy torero
Este restaurante de tapas, es de los que tienen mas «charme» de Barcelona: lástima que sea muy difícil encontrar mesa. Muy cerca de las Ramblas, sus tapas son realmente excepcionales: ideal para cenar en grupo
