La Taberna la Encarnación — Restaurant in Seville

After a day of shopping, my wife and I went to this restaurant. To be honest, we wanted to eat here since the menu looked pretty appetizing but we were a bit afraid after we read the reviews on here. Decided to give it a chance anyway. When we wanted to order the waiter said the kitchen wasn't open yet. I asked him when the kitchen opens and he said "well the cook comes in around 20:00 or 22:00 something like that" 😳 I thought that was a pretty big gap and did not feel like waiting until 22:00 for staff to show up 😅 but luckily, around 20:00 a different waiter started his shift and when I asked him if the chef came in as well, he stated that we could order our food. The food was really good and I would definitely recommend people to go and eat at this place. However, staff left a lot of money on the table since they seem to never have heard of upselling 🤭 they could have sold us at least 3 or 4 more drinks if they asked us instead of just hurriedly taking away our empty glasses 🫣 All in all, good experience though....

I write a gluten free travel blog, and typically do a lot of research to find food ahead of time. We had stopped here for coffee during the day, and saw that they had an allergen menu, so I thought maybe they could accommodate by celiac disease and need to be gluten free. Although they do have an allergen menu, the only thing they could guarantee was gluten free was the sausage and cheese platter and olives.  It was good, but it was too much sausage and cheese for me. They did also list lactose, cereales (not sure if this is just gluten or all grains), shellfish, egg and a few more items on a separate menu. The people I was with all enjoyed their food. I hated to give this a 4 instead of 5, but, for what I was looking for had to downgrade it one.

This restaurant is right next to the Metropol Parasol. Fantastic location and amazing...

Please don’t eat here. This is not authentic Spanish food. Spanish food is fresh, this is not only packaged food but also it wasn’t cooked properly.

The starter was passable but they barely put on any oil, vinegar or herbs associated with this dish.

My sons ordered pasta carbonara. What they got was packet mushroom flavoured pasta that you add hot water to. Ithad been so overcooked it had turned into a glutinous congealed mess. There wasn’t a single piece of ham in there, nor cream nor cheese.

My husband and I ordered pork steak with salad and chips. The chips were packaged frozen. The salad was bagged salad with jarred peppers that were soggy and slimy. My steak was supposed to be medium but what I got was slightly seared on the outside and completely raw beyond that. It’s just asking for salmonella. My husband ordered well done, his was more cooked but still raw in the middle.

None of the food came together. Maybe they only have one pan in the kitchen.

They charged us €51 for something inedible. We paid €16 for something tastier and beautifully cooked off the main square.

Por favor no comas aquí. Esta no es auténtica comida española. La comida española es fresca, no solo es comida envasada sino que además no está bien cocinada.

El entrante era pasable, pero apenas le pusieron aceite, vinagre o hierbas asociadas con este plato, aunque había mucho atún enlatado, que fue lo único bueno de toda la comida.

Mis hijos pidieron pasta carbonara. Lo que obtuvieron fue un paquete de pasta con sabor a champiñones al que se le agrega agua caliente. Estaba tan cocido que se había convertido en una masa pegajosa y congelada. Allí no había ni un solo trozo de jamón, ni nata y, definitivamente, nada de queso.

Mi marido y yo pedimos filete de cerdo con ensalada y patatas fritas. Las patatas fritas se envasaron congeladas. La ensalada era una ensalada en bolsas con pimientos en frasco que estaban empapados y viscosos. Se suponía que mi bistec era mediano, pero lo que obtuve estaba ligeramente chamuscado por fuera y completamente crudo más allá de eso. Solo pregunta por salmonella. Mi marido pidió bien hecho, el suyo estaba más cocido pero todavía crudo en el medio.

Ninguna comida se juntó. Quizás solo tengan una sartén en la cocina.

Nos cobraron 51€ por algo no comestible. Pagamos 16 € por algo más sabroso y bellamente cocinado en Una otra...
