La Tasca de Braulio - Bogotá

Nice place with a nice atmosphere for a weekend family lunch. Hey didn't have a couple things we ordered but hey hey also tell you it is possible since they buy their ingredients daily. Service was ok since we were the only table at the moment. The cook offered us riñones (kidney) that were really good. The worst thing and were I think they really have to get right is the temperature of the food. We ordered chicharrones and they came cold. And the garlic rabbit from my brother was just warm. The callos a la madrileña from my dad were Ok but not to die for. The prices are ok. We would probably try some other places before going back there.

Beautiful ambience and service. I had conejo en salsa de ajo (rabbit), lentejas, callos a la maleguenya and pork ribs. All right. The tarta de Santiago is not the same as in Spain, but it is worth it.

If you've ever had a Spanish tortilla made by someone from the Iberian peninsula you'll be disappointed by the one served here. In fact, that's unfortunately a common theme with this place: every signature Spanish dish bears very little resemblance to the original recipes that they claim to represent. We had the riñones de Jerez which were the best plate of our meal (helped by the fact that they were freshly made but still fell a bit short on seasoning little garlic, not enough salt. The worst dish we ate was the Boquerones en vinagre, one of my bar food favorites in Spain. This one was very disappointing: The plate arrived with two kinds of fish actual anchovy filets but which were dry and chewy (i.e. past their sell by date! and then some strips of some other white fish (clearly not Boquerones with a tough texture, steeped in too much vinegar. What a disappointment. The olives in our fresh salad were also seriously aged fermented, in fact, and the tortilla, well, let's just say it wasn't anything like any tortila my grandmother used to make or any other I've ever tasted in Spain! Don't be deceived by the Spanish tourism decal on the window the food here bears only the faintest resemblance to Spanish food. But at a more basic level, it's just not very fresh or well prepared. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, Colombian, Spanish or otherwise. There are several other very good restaurants within a few blocks (try Donostia just a few blocks away, which is more of a Colombian Spanish market food fusion with similar prices and much more enjoyable results!

This “tavern” is more like a brasserie. Large bowls of tapas are laid out on the counter in front of the open kitchen, just like I remembered it in Spain. Family owned and operated. I filled up on “rignones” y “tripe” (by another name) before I noticed the “special” of the night, “pulpo a la Galicia.”

Recommended and the service of the staff was very friendly. Paella was good! The atmosphere was also Spanish
