Tragantúa Gran Taberna — Restaurant in Zaragoza

Don't ever go here! IT IS A SET-UP TO STEAL FROM TOURISTS. I will tell you why:

OK food, unfriendly service and absurd prices for Spanish food. Also they charge extra for service and bread which is unusual in Spanish taberna's.

We ordered paella to share and a jar of sangria. The paella was OK but not really special. We ordered the seafood paella which mostly consist of squid (cheap fish). The paella portion was small, definitely to share although it's meant for sharing.The Sangria was below average.

In the end we had to pay the totally ridiculous price of 54 euro for a average meal and service.

Before we tried to ask for the price of the Sangria in Spanish, but they acted like they didn't understand us. Afterwards I get why: a jar of sangria costs 15 euro's. That's a totally insane price.

Futhermore the waiters are shouting and laughing at each other all the time, really rude while we were trying to enjoy dinner. We also saw how one of the waiters pushed a musician playing on the street, so that the musician would go away. It looked aggressive and totally...

Yesterday evening we had dinner at . We asked a seafood plate for two persons. The waitress told us that MARISCO PLANCHA (different shrimps ）is enough for two person. But we also ordered BRAZO DE PULPO A LA PLANCHA for trying out the local dishes. It surprised us when we got our food. After finishing these two dishes, we have to order one plate CALAMARES. The quantity of the food is small, but the price is very high. Especially the MARISCO PLANCHA , it costed 42euro and it definitely is not the portion for two persons. We haven’t expected so expensive food here. Besides, the service is not so good. They provided their least service in a hurry. Fortunately the food are fresh and the taste are fine. But we’ll definitely not come back to this restaurant again.

PS: here is the response to owner’s reply: yes, we did see the menu. We knew the price is 42euro. The quality of the food is ok. But my point is the quantity! You told us this dish is sufficient for two person, and with potatoes as side dish. But the fact is that the portion we got is far below what...

In short: the food was below average and the price was very high.

We wanted to order two glasses of sangria but that was not possible only a can was. We went with it and ordered a can of sangria and asked for the price, the waiter did not seem to understand the question at all and gave some vague undivided answer. The paella was oke but expensive, per person the paella was 18 euros.

It turned out that the sangria was indeed 15 euros (as someone already mentioned in the reviews) per can. We believed it to be extremely expensive. The sangria was of a poor quality and without any fruits whatsoever.

Furthermore, 1.50 service costs are considered per person, which is not to be expected in a Taberna in Spain. Especially considering we did not get any bread and the table next to us did get bread and ordered the same dish and drinks.

The waiters are unfriendly and in a hurry. I do not recommend this place at all. If you want a nice meal and normal prices...
