Quick Verdict
Locals and repeat visitors come back for the food quality and the staff's genuine attentiveness, though the sangria pricing and occasional food-handling issues (two reviews mentioned digestive problems) mean it's good, not flawless.
You want to eat tapas on a lively square with staff who actually pay attention, and you don't mind standing or sitting elbow-to-elbow.
About CASA MANOLO TAPAS BAR SEVILLANO
Casa Manolo is a casual tapas bar on Plaça de la Alfalfa in the Casco Antiguo, where you'll eat standing or at tight tables with locals and tourists mixed in without pretence. The menu runs to small plates — prawns in garlic, chickpea-spinach tapas, fried fish, omelettes with whiskey sauce — and a strong wine and sangria list. Service is attentive without fussing; staff will steer you toward what's working that day and adjust your comfort if the weather turns (one reviewer noted a waiter moving a heater closer during rain). The square location means noise during peak hours, but that's the trade-off for sitting where Seville actually eats. Prices sit at €10–20 per person with drinks, though sangria runs €4 per glass — higher than other bars in the city, a point several reviewers flagged. The place fills by dinner time on weekends; arrive early or expect to queue.
What Stands Out
Staff who remember you and adapt
One reviewer returned and was disappointed when a waiter named Gerardo wasn't working, noting 'his energy definitely left a lasting impression.' Another praised a server for recommending the right dishes and moving a heater during rain. A Venezuelan waiter switched to Korean with a customer who'd worked with Koreans before.
Consistent small-plate quality
Reviewers specifically praised 'the sweet and creamy texture of the salad mixed with fresh shrimp, the balanced whiskey sauce on top of the omelette, the spicy and creamy chickpea-spinach tapa.' Another called the fried fish 'delicious' and the cheesecake 'one of the best I have had for a long time.'
Location on a central, animated square
Multiple reviewers highlighted the 'lively square' location and 'very central' setting as a draw. One noted the atmosphere is good enough to return for outdoor seating alone, though they also warned it 'might become noisy in rush hours.'
What Customers Say

Sangria also tastes very fresh and authentic.
Lekker gegeten, goede tapas en vriendelijke bediening.
