About Bar Dos de Mayo
Bar Dos de Mayo is a proper Sevillian tapas bar in the Casco Antiguo, the kind of place where locals eat standing at the counter and tourists stumble in by accident and stay for hours. It's crowded, loud, and the tables are packed so close you'll hear your neighbour's conversation whether you want to or not — that's the point. The kitchen moves fast. Reviewers praise the bacalao gratinado, pork cheeks, chicken with almonds, and the brochetta ibérico (which one Dutch reviewer called "exceptionally good"). Portions are generous for tapas. The staff speaks limited English but communicates anyway, and they're attentive — one reviewer noted they "takes care of you immediately". Expect to spend €15–20 per person for a proper meal of several tapas and a drink. It's the kind of bar where you go for original Andalusian food done well, not for a quiet evening or table space.
What Stands Out
Food that tastes Andalusian, not staged
One reviewer called it "original, down-to-earth Andalusian cuisine". The bacalao gratinado and frutos rojos, pork cheeks, and chicken with almonds appear across multiple reviews as specific dishes people ate and enjoyed. Another noted the brochetta ibérico as especially worth trying.
Generous portions at €15–20 per person
Multiple reviewers mention the price point explicitly ("15 a 20 euros per person for tapas") and praise the portions as "beautiful" and "a lot". One Spanish reviewer noted "lo bueno se paga" (good things cost money) but didn't deduct a star.
Fast, attentive service despite the chaos
Reviewers praise the "rapidez de los camareros" (speed of the staff) and note that service is "very attentive and takes care of you immediately". One Korean reviewer noted food arrives fast — almost unusually fast. Staff are described as "very friendly" even with language barriers.
