Tapas with desserts at El Reventaero

In Calle Gonzalo Gallas, right off Plaza Einstein, you can find one of those tapas bars that almost has it all: El Reventaero. With lots of seating and quick, efficient table serving, this is a hotspot for students and other tapas cravers. Here you are able to choose which tapas you want with your drinks; up to two different sorts per table. The list of choices is varied and contains hamburgers, calamares, grilled meat, typical spanish dishes and numerous bocadillos (spanish sandwich) as well as vegetarian options. The hamburgers are big, and the potatoes with alioli are delicious.

As a special treat, this tapas bar throws in DESSERT for those who have the urge, which you can ask for with your second round or later. Usually you can pick your favorite here as well: do you fancy a chocolate cake, a flan (pudding) or perhaps strawberry? The desserts are not the biggest, but come in addition to your pick of tapas for the round. There is only one trick: If you don’t eat your dessert, you pay for it!

If you’re planning to visit the Reventaero, it can be wise to pick your day. Popular and busy as it is, a late Saturday night is not the best time if what you’re looking for is a quiet break in a cosy environment. The environment is cosy enough, but in rush hour the bar appears a bit like a diner, with big, hungry groups of friends having the waiters run warm. There’s even a sign saying “ask for the bill at the table, or else we go crazy!” That being said – El Reventaero is popular for a reason.
