La Taberna — Restaurant in Ronda

Today, I had dinner here with my wife and son, spending over 60 euros, and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment of my life. Recently visiting Spain, and particularly this restaurant actually, left me with the impression that Spanish people might be spoiled by an abundance of tourists, as they seem to show little respect to their visitors. Starting from the beginning, in our case ar least not only did we wait almost 40 minutes or more for our order to develop, but the staff barely paid any attention to what was happening at our table. We received large plates for the soup which were then taken back, and for the main course, my son had to eat from a small plate despite my repeated requests for a larger one. The waiter also didn’t bother to clean our table even once, and when I finally took myself the empty Coke cans to dispose of them in a trash can, a waiter approached me, grabbed my shirt, and screamed at me aggressively. Surprisingly their manager was no better because when I complained, he never apologized, instead telling me that I was not normal.

Regarding the food, it was average at best. The octopus could have been cooked a bit more, while the other two dishes — bulltail stew and another whose name I don’t recall — somehow tasted the same, which was very odd. Overall, this was the worst experience I've had at a restaurant, not only in Spain but everywhere. I definitely do not recommend this place.

Not to forget, that a group of teenagers next to our table began to smoke despite not having an ashtray and the restaurant not appearing to be smoker-friendly. For us, as non-smokers, this was a significant issue especially because the waiters did not react to this situation, nor did they care when we brought it to...

We stopped here for lunch when we were the bus tour to visit Ronda. Our tour guide had given us a few hours to explore Ronda on our own and were not pushy on which restaurant we choose. We simply went by google and TripAdvisor reviews and thank God for that. The had something for everyone. It had the traditional Spanish as well some of the modern sliders and Asian small plates but for a good price. Our experience with non Spanish food prices has been disappointing because of high prices. We ordered a large amount of with a combination of wine, soup, several small plates as well the legendary Rabo Del Toro and grilled rosada fish. While everything we ordered was delectable, the star of the show obviously the Rabo Del Toro (Ox tail). The meat literally melts in your mouth. Simply no words to describe. The service was impeccable with the waiter always referring us 4 as "familia". Our food cost us 73$ which was a steal for everything we ordered. Unforgettable experience. Please do this if you are in Ronda, very very highly...

I normaly only post positive reviews but i feel like i have to review this place because the treatment was so bad.

We ordered some tapas and 2 main dishes. After the first main dish arrived the waiter said this is everything and we told them we ordered one more main disb, he looked at his phone and said there was nothing more comming. So we said okay then something must have go wrong and instead of the main dish we ordered some tapas because we where still hungry.

Later both the tapas and the main dish wich they said wouldn't come arrived. We said that they just said it was canceled. They didn't want to listen and they didn't want to hear our beginner/intermediate level Spanish saying 'your in Spain you should speak good Spanish.'

We tried to talk with them all they said was 'you ordered, you pay!' In a rude tone. We ended up paying because we where getting cold and felt desperate. Worst restaurant treatment i...
