Where to eat Spanish food in Tangier: The Best Restaurants and Bars

October 26, 2019 Tynisha Seiler

Find out what Spanish restaurants to try in Tangier. Located on the Strait of Gibraltar where Africa meets Europe, Tangier has long held strategic importance. Ruled through the centuries by waves of conquerors including Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs and Portuguese, the city is more than two and a half millennia old, making it one of North Africa's most ancient. The medina, kasbah, bazaars and souks are among the country's most vibrant, and the beaches are excellent. In the last century, Tangier became a hot spot for the international jet set.

Reviewed By Leighton J

Drinking is a bit of a strange activity in Morocco (best kept to hotel bars) and the restaurant menus can all be a bit samey after a couple of weeks. We were therefore very happy to stumble across this restaurant/bar.We went in to try the Spanish inspired menu, inparticular the paella. Since this dish takes a while the waited provided us with a free house salad while we waited.We also had a few beers and noticed some people were coming in purely to drink at the bar, whereas others were eating/drinking at the tables.There was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and it's the sort of place you could pop in for a drink or a full meal. Recommended.

El Cocodrilo

Reviewed By Hans C

We were taken to El Cocodrilo for a business diner. We went back there the next night. The food was great and plentiful. The seafood is fresh and comes prepared with excellent sauces (squid, cockles, mussels).With diner we drank a Beauvallon A.O.G Beni M' Tir Rouge 2009. A very taste red wine with a very smooth and sweet bouquet. The place is crowded so be there early. The restaurant is located at the seafront. Parking nearby (not free).

Came as a huge family and loved it. Very friendly staff; we left the decision on what to eat to them and loved it! (Though, of course, it was way too much food). Wonderful. Loved the maroccan chicken pie; great tajhein (spelling?) Classic tea after the dinner. And they take credit cards!Note that it is small (no more than 20?) But recommended.

The only restaurant really open when we went, as it was the first day of Eid, this place has an amazing interior with great Moroccan food, from the tagines to the salad and starter. Would highly recommend as a place to get authentic food for a good price, and the staff were very nice and courteous.

Restaurant La Paella

Reviewed By lotusland_traveler

Decided to try this place based on reviews. We ordered the fish soup, seafood salad, and grilled squid. Soon after we placed our order the waiter came back with a squid on a plate and said that only a large squid was available for 20 dirham more. The smaller squid for the regular price was finished. We said okay. The soup was okay, needed some more seasoning and could've used a few more pieces of seafood. The seafood salad was simply boiled clams, squid, fish, small shrimp and a few pieces of salad veggies. Five minutes later the waiter brought the dressing which tasted like bottled creamy Italian. Nothing special.The grilled calamari (squid) looked significantly smaller than what they showed us. I was a bit surprised by its size when it arrived. Regardless, the squid was good - no complaints on the flavour, but again nothing special and no sauces or lemon wedges to accompany it. We finished eating and paid the bill of 235 dirham. Quite a lot for what we ate. Upon leaving I saw a much smaller squid (about the same size of what we received grilled) on ice at the front of the restaurant. This affirmed my thought of "bait and switch" and I left with a bad taste for this restaurant. I won't return.

点餐之后在室外餐厅等了两个小时告诉我们没有米饭了不能做海鲜饭。甜点催了好多次半个小时之后才上。味道也很一般,海鲜酱料撒的到处都是。it's a very terrible meal and service. first, we waited for about half an hour but they told us that we have to wait for another hour. but after that, there was nothing and we were told that there was no rice so the paella cannot be served. The seafood is awful and nothing fresh. The sauce is smelly and its only use is to cover the more smelly seafood. An awful experience. Never come here or you must regret for your silly decision!DearWith all my respect, i was very surprised and it hurt me a lot to receive this complaint in Chinese!! something very strange for our staff so from a community and one of the favorites clients than we respect and appreciate too much, for their exemplary education model, their behavior and remarkable kindness. Indeed I apologize about what happened & inconvenience.by the other hand I beg to differ the service manager revealed to me that the restaurant by this moment was completely full & reserved, with 2 groups inside of almost 60 people and they advised you that the service unfortunately will be slow taking more than an hour. despite this warning you have insisted to sit on the outside terrace.for the rest of comments be sure that we have a high self-confidence, the pictures and different reviews received from customers are the best proof of our daily efforts and sacrifice to excel in our activity

I’ve been a loyal customer to tangerino for many years. Great food, reasonable price and not bad service. Unfortunately, lately they hired a non professional, low IQ supervisor with a nasty attitude called Khadijah. We came and sat down and waited for half hours and no body came for service, and suddenly a servant ignored our follow up and went to serve another table who were occupied after us. We complained to the supervisor, Khadijah and instead of apologizing, she was looking for excuses and almost blamed us. It is a shame to see one off my favorite restaurant turned like this. I really hope that the management look in to this as this not the first time happens with this so called Khadijah. Too Bad .....

Everything about this restaurant was great...well almost everything. This restaurant is beautifully decorated and comfortable, with a fresh homey vibe. The owner’s daughter was the maître de and our sometimes waitress. She was fun and delightful and gave great recommendations regarding what and how much to order. We all had appies, the seafood paella, and desert...and all were beautifully presented and delicious! Prices were reasonable and service was great. Sadly, the only downside was that smoking is allowed in the restaurant and someone lit up next to us while we were still dining. Otherwise the experience was perfection!
