Quality is not the main reason for coming to this tapas bistro, though the tapas are reasonably delicious. Rather, it's the price-to-quantity ratio that is the winner, and with more than 50 varieties to choose from, you are spoilt for choice. Personally I prefer the hot tapas to the cold ones, though you can expect a little waiting time if you order the former. Beer / wine is decent though nothing fancy. Service is relatively fast. It's a place for a casual meetup with friends. The cosy interiors beckon you to linger around for more wine / beer long after your hunger pangs are satisfied. Or if you are looking for something to snack after that late-night musical (e.g. Lion King), its excellent address along Gran Via and late opening hours make this place a convenient and excellent option!!

This is the second Txapela that we enjoyed while our stay in Spain. We also went into one in Barcelona. Here Jorge was very accommodating with us. We asked for a few things altered on our tapas and he came through. Apparently here in Spain they are not very accommodating (not as much is in the US). This spot was awesome with that. This is also a good place to go if you want to taste different tapas and not break your back. Since we arrived in Spain I wanted to taste the Tortilla Española and I had it here and it was awesome. Jorge was kind enough to warm it up a bit since they are normally eaten at room temperature. I totally recommend this place.

He pedido una tapa de brochetas de pollo y el pollo tenía un sabor algo raro, como cuando se está empezando a poner malo, pero sin llegar a estarlo del todo. Como viene con una salsa se aprecia levemente pero se nota. También pedí un pintxo de pollo rebozado con piquillo y queso de cabra y, sinceramente, no creo que valga los 2,75€ que cuesta. (Subo fotos) La atención de la barra deja mucho que desear, la camarera con cara de mala leche, un poco seca (por no decir bastante) y centrada en recoger vajilla porque parece que estaba sola en horario de comidas. Ha entrado una pareja de ancianos a tomarse un café a las 16:00 y les dice que no se lo sirve porque están en horario de comidas. Y, después de haber trabajado 16 años en la hostelería, me surge la duda de si tanto ha cambiado la cosa desde que no la trabajo. He de decir que finalmente les han servido el café porque la chica que atendía la sala, al parecer nueva, había ido a atender otra mesa que se cansó de esperar y marchó (con poca paciencia porque apenas estuvieron esperando 3 min) y les ha preguntado a los señores mayores que que querían y, ante lo que supongo que habrá sido por su parte, ignorancia de las “supuestas directrices de la empresa” de no servir cafés en horario de comida, les ha dejado hecho el pedido y a la barra no le ha quedado otra que hacerlo. Pero me parece muy mal que se le niegue in servicio a un cliente por lo que entiendo que es que, a ti como camarera/o, no te viene bien en ese momento. A grandes rasgos, no volvería. Soy de Bilbao y me he decepcionado mucho con este sitio las dos veces que he venido.

This place is in la gran Via which is not easy to miss in this area. There are a lot to tapas bar in the street, but this one is a decent one. I would say the sangria is better than the food, but you have to try some of their tapas. I didn’t care for cold tapas, but the rest was good. The best part was the Nicaraguan bartender that night. She was so friendly and full of life. Thank you for giving us a great experience.

Great place for tapas on the Calle Gran Vía. Although I don’t know much Spanish the waiters understood what I wanted and were very kind. The prices are cheaper than I thought considering the downtown location. Around €3 per tapas dish with a large selection of traditional and non traditional Spanish cuisine. I particularly enjoyed the Tolusa but that might be because I’m an American lol. I would come back again!

The issue I sometimes have eating alone is that the tapas are made to share. At Txapela, they were just the right size for just me. I ordered three (all delicious) with a lemon Fanta. Surprisingly, I was satisfied enough that I didn't want (nor could fit) dessert. I ended my meal with a cappuccino. Nice, casual but polished atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Prices for food are very reasonable.
