Paco Meralgo

"The atmosphere is as laid-back as a neighborhood watering hole, with bantering waiters and friendly regulars. Come early (one-ish for lunch, eight-ish for dinner) to avoid a wait in line."

"The name, a pun on para comer algo ("to eat something" with an Andalusian accent), may be only marginally amusing, but the tapas here are no joke at all." Full review

"Despite the wacky wordplay on ‘para comer algo’ (‘to eat something’), this “popular” Eixample place is serious about taking tapas “to the next level.”" Full review

"This bright, modern tapas bar has a gourmet menu based on recipes from around the country."

"The Paco MeraIgo has two bars and two separate entrances. Its most impressive features are its seafood display cabinets with a varied, fresh and top quality choice of options." Full review

"Gourmet tavern cuisine, with an assortment of dishes. The prices are linked to the quality and variety of their products." Full review

"The tapas menu may look pretty standard, but it's the quality that sets Paco Meralgo apart." Full review

"Patates braves, cod fritters, courgette flowers with mozzarella, grilled Palamós prawns, sautéed squid with Santa Pau beans and, just sometimes, lunchtime paella are among the exquisite seasonal tapas at this strikingly contemporary 'alta taberna' ('haute tavern')" Full review
