This is definitely a new favorite for us! Keep in mind that they only have one server at the moment so be patient. The atmosphere is really cool and the food was SOOO GOOD!We ordered the tostones ceviche, octopus, chicken croquettes, beef short rib empanadas, Cuban sandwich with fries and house Sangria. The empanadas weren’t our favorite, but that was only because everything else was so amazing. The octopus is VERY much worth the price. Very excited to go back and try the Paella.

This little restaurant is amazing. The food was top notch. The service is slow due to lack of help but it's worth the wait. I can't wait to go again. The paella was excellent. All tapas we ordered were delicious. Sangria was wonderful and I'm not crazy about Sangria. Maybe because this was the real deal!

Our party of five had a great time at Barzelona. The food was fantastic, and we also enjoyed our sangria. Our group ordered several small plates. My favorite was the tostones with ceviche. So delicious. The pork tacos were also great. Be sure and get there early as they close at 8:00 on weekdays and 8:30 on the weekends. Reservations are a good idea, because it's a small place and word is definitely getting out about the delicious food and fun cocktails.

Food is great, music mellow enough for conversation. Tables are a bit too close together there's no way to have a "comfy talk" without other people listening.

Place has a little mix of Spaniard and Latin American food. Went here on Saturday night and service was great. Our server Alberto was very kind and attentive. We got the sangria and it was one of the best sangrias I’ve had and a big portion. We got the fried calamari. Very good but very small portion. Not something I would recommend sharing. Also got the tostones with guacamole, though an interesting pairing, it was still good. Ended up sharing a Cuban sandwich, the pork was super delicious, very juicy, everything was perfect with this, and it came with chips. Price is reasonable and appetizers were mostly under $10. Would come here again and will be recommending to friends.

Tapas at Barzelona last night. Pleasantly surprised how good. Gambas al Ajillo, perfectly cooked shrimp in garlic olive oil. Even gave me tasty bread to dip into the oil. The Patatas Bravas, perfect too, were delicious. Alberto, our waiter, was excellent. He took the time to chat about Spain and food. Will definitely go back. 17

Ate here for the first time, and it was wonderful. The portions were a good size, food was delicious and the service was great. It's a small restaurant, and the ambience was pleasant. We got the portobello mushrooms, potatoes, ceviche, calamari, and plantains. I'd recommend any of these dishes, as none of them disappointed us. Definitely recommend
This place satisfied my craving for tapas and Spanish food. There is a bit of a fusion vibe with other latin American dishes so be aware that it is not 100% authentic Barcelona, Spain cuisine. I had the croquettes, sangria, snd sampled my friends small plates. All were very good. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent. Reminded us of being back in Spain. Server was very good and friendly. If you like octopus this is your place, we tried both of the grilled octopus and they were both delicious. We can't wait to go back .
This place is the epitome of delicious food, great service, and a relaxing, quiet atmosphere. With quiet music piping in, and the attention to details to food...what a wonderful little place. Make reservations for the evening or go early.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free and vegan options clearly marked

Easy five stars here. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Lexington. The food is phenomenal and the service is excellent. I brought the whole family here, and we tried a lot of different options: fish taco bites, Cuban sandwich sliders, pork street tacos, Cuban style roasted pork plate, bacon chipotle cheese burger, patatas bravas, and tostones with shrimp ceviche. You all, every single one of those options, from the tostones to the burger, were fantastic. The ceviche - it is so fresh and tasty. There are just so many great options here. If you said I had to pick a favorite, I'd say I'm not comfortable making that decision, but in the end I might go with the port street tacos. They melt in your mouth like butter. But I'm telling you that it is all top notch. I absolutely love this place. On a side note (pun intended), don't go without trying the plantains, patatas bravas, and, as unusual as this may sound, the french fries. They are incredible! Just writing this review has made me hungry, and luckily Barzelona is right behind the house, so I'm headed there now. I might see you there!

We tried the empanadas, croquettes, octopus, and steak with black beans, plantains and rice. Everything was exceptionally good! There was not one dish that we didn't like. Flavor was spot on. Pricing is very fair too. Definitely coming back.
Excellent food! The host makes it fun!
