El Mérida • Tapasbar in Melle

Great service and delicious food. I can only recommend the Estrella beer👍

A few days ago we were at El Merida with friends from Melle and Osnabrück. Had reserved a table for 8 people. We received a very friendly welcome and later had an absolutely delicious meal. My rump steak was simply great. Everyone else was also completely enthusiastic, they ate fish salad with chicken and several rump steaks. Everything is great! We will definitely come back.

Very tasty food and great staff.

The food is very tasty and the price is okay! Absolutely recommended 👍

We were there for the Christmas party and had a delicious steak. It was cooked to perfection and everything else was great. Gladly again.

As always, the food was delicious and the service was incredibly good. Very charming shop and all in all always very good. We have been here several times and will definitely come back again and again.

Super delicious food, the service staff is very, very friendly. It was a lovely evening again!

The food has been very tasty every time and the service has been super friendly :) I enjoy going here every time

Tapas for two 😃👍🏻great ambience, really cozy. Very friendly and courteous service, delicious and freshly prepared food. TOP! Even my wish for my favorite mini dessert, an affogato, was fulfilled. That was really great. We'd love to come back ❤️😃👍🏻

I've been there several times. Im great, great friendly service. Particularly noteworthy is the Argentine rump steak. Reservation required which speaks for the restaurant.

Hey great tapas bar for Melle 😉 It's always busy. Food very good, service is very attentive, even if you sometimes have to wait a bit 😉

A few days ago we had our department Christmas party at El Mérida. The food, in my case the rump steak, was very tasty. And the dishes from our colleagues also looked good. The service was also good. We deliberately chose a table next to the bar. The perfect choice. Here we were able to talk shop and our thirst was quickly quenched due to the short distances. ;-) Gladly again, in El Mérida!

Super nice and attentive service 👍. Food was also super tasty. We'd love to come back. A wonderful evening. Many thanks to the entire team

Great evening with great food. It's great that the spontaneous reservation worked out

I made a reservation by phone. And I was lucky to get a table. A very cozy Spanish restaurant. The service was great and very accommodating. The service was also great when it came to advice. The food was terrific and typically Spanish. We'll definitely be back. Many greetings to David. Very accommodating and extremely nice.

Very good food and very, very friendly staff would be happy to come back

Delicious food with a rich vegetarian selection...and the team attentive. We had a lovely evening at El Mérida and would love to come back.

The food and service was great, the ambience could still be improved. Thank you for the lovely evening

I am very disappointed. We reserved 3 weeks in advance. When we arrived we were told that there was no reservation. Reservations are probably only accepted by two siblings. In our case we had spoken to the sister on the phone. When we nicely pointed out in the restaurant that we had reserved 3 weeks in advance, the lady became very loud, unfriendly and rude. The brother then came to clarify the matter. He said that this problem probably occurs more often. I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem with the guests, but with the restaurant. I won't visit this restaurant again.

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely come back. Top!

Well, I made a reservation with them 4 weeks ago and they said that we didn't make a reservation and a little waitress told us that we had made a mistake. We spoke to the waitress in a normal and nice way, but the politeness wasn't there . If there were no stars to pass by then I would do it.

Been there many times! Was always very tasty! Thanks

All around successful evening. Very tasty and great service.

The restaurant seems to be nicely decorated, but we can't say anything about the food, as the shop opens at 5:00 p.m. and the door was still closed shortly after 5:00 p.m. I stood at the door twice and would have liked to go in, two employees saw me but made no move to open the door. I assumed that people don't value guests. The door was immediately opened to the gentlemen who arrived about 30 seconds after me. Maybe you just don't want strangers

Das geschmackvoll und modern eingerichtete Lokal liegt in der Meller Innenstadt. An diesem warmen Sommerabend sitzen wir auf der rückwärtig gelegenen Terrasse. Tapas der reichhaltigen Karte liegen zwischen 4 und 9, Hauptgerichte zwischen 16 und 25 Euro. Die Website schraubt meine Erwartungen hoch: "Die spanische Küche lebt von der Vielfalt für den Gaumen. Im geselligen Zusammensein mit Freunden schmeckt man die Sonne des Weines im Glas, die Reife der mediterranen Gemüsesorten und Oliven, das Meer auf dem Teller und die Würze von Schinken und Käse. Diese Gefühle haben wir nach Niedersachsen geholt, in das schöne Melle. Und dazu viele frische Originalprodukte aus Spanien, die wir mit regionaler und saisonaler Ware ergänzen." Was an diesem Abend meinen Teller erreicht, wird diesem Anspruch leider nicht gerecht. Ich persönlich messe spanische Lokale an ihrer Alioli. "Pan con Alioli (Brot mit hausgemachten Knoblauchdip)" sieht zwar gut aus und kommt mit frischem Baguette, schmeckt jedoch zu meiner Überraschung überhaupt nicht nach Knoblauch. Darauf angesprochen, nimmt der (bis dahin freundliche und aufmerksame) Service die Zubereitung anstandslos mit. Was wenig später zurückkommt, enthält zwar irgendein Trockengranulat, welches jedoch natürlich keinerlei Zeit hatte, sich mit der Zubereitung zu verbinden, und irgendeine Wirkung zu entfalten. Auch "Palitios de Queso Iberico (frittierte Iberische Käsestangen)", mit einer gelben Sauce erinnern an ein Fertigprodukt und bleiben konturlos, ebenso wie das mit Käse überbackene Brot, welches ich aktuell nicht mehr auf der Karte finde. Die "Boquerónes Fritos (frittierte Sardellen) sind in Ordnung. Meine Begleitung ist mit ihrer "Tortilla Espanola (spanisches Kartoffelomelette)" zufrieden. Mittlerweile macht der Service einen weiten Bogen um den Tisch mit dem kritischen Gast. Alles ist solide zubereitet, aber offenbar geschmacklich deutlich an die vermuteten Meller Essgewohnheiten angepasst. Beim Bezahlen räumt der junge Padron dies auch freimütig ein, und lässt dabei jedes Problembewusstsein angesichts meiner ent-täuschten Erwartungen vermissen. "Beim nächsten Mal einfach gleich bei der Bestellung dazusagen, dass Sie es würzig mögen" empfiehlt er mir. Eine interessante Idee... aber wäre es dann nicht Aufgabe des Service gewesen, den Gast gleich zu Beginn des Abends nach seinen Wünschen an die Würze der Küche zu fragen?

The tastefully and modernly furnished restaurant is located in Meller's city center. On this warm summer evening we are sitting on the terrace at the back. Tapas on the extensive menu range between 4 and 9 euros, main courses between 16 and 25 euros. The website sets my expectations high: "Spanish cuisine thrives on variety for the palate. When you're with friends, you can taste the sun of the wine in the glass, the ripeness of the Mediterranean vegetables and olives, the sea on the plate and the spice of Ham and cheese. We have brought these feelings to Lower Saxony, to the beautiful Melle. And many fresh original products from Spain, which we complement with regional and seasonal goods." Unfortunately, what reaches my plate that evening does not live up to this claim. Personally, I judge Spanish restaurants by their alioli. "Pan con Alioli (bread with homemade garlic dip)" looks good and comes with fresh baguette, but to my surprise it doesn't taste like garlic at all. When asked about this, the (up to then friendly and attentive) service took the preparation away without any problem. What comes back a little later contains some dry granules, which of course have had no time to combine with the preparation and have any effect. “Palitios de Queso Iberico (fried Iberian cheese sticks)”, with a yellow sauce, is also reminiscent of a finished product and remains featureless, as does the bread baked with cheese, which I can no longer find on the menu. The "Boquerónes Fritos (fried anchovies) are okay. My companion is satisfied with their "Tortilla Espanola (Spanish potato omelet)". Meanwhile, the service gives the table with the critical guest a wide berth. Everything is solidly prepared, but the taste is obviously clearly adapted to the assumed Meller eating habits. When paying, the young Padron freely admits this, and lacks any awareness of the problem in view of my disappointed expectations. “Next time, just say when you order that you like it spicy,” he recommends. An interesting idea... but then wouldn't it have been the service's job to ask the guest right at the beginning of the evening what they would like in terms of the flavor of the kitchen? Conclusion: Strongly Germanized cuisine with no claim to authenticity. Category: Moderate Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 2 stars Culinary: 3 stars Value for money: 3 stars Revisit factor: 1 star

Absolutely perfect 👍👍👍👍 I've rarely had such a perfect rump steak and everything is just right here

Super-friendly service that made it possible for us to get a table where we could sit for longer. The food was also very tasty and we were given good advice. Gladly again.

Super nice atmosphere. Small but nice! The staff was very friendly and the food was just perfect! Super juicy meat, dip, squid, vegetables etc. all homemade and super tasty! The cocktail swimming pool had the perfect mix! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! A small point deduction for the service, you could have asked more often whether everything was good or whether you would like something more to drink. Otherwise everything was great! LG :)

Very nice staff and great service. The food was good and nicely prepared. I'll definitely come back.

Dear El Mérida team, We had dinner with you for the first time with 6 people and we were really impressed. You gave us a really nice welcome and accompanied us through the evening. The option to let us be surprised by the selection of tapas was exactly the right thing for us, as we could all try our way through the different tapas. Your restaurant is cozy, modern and tastefully designed. We would love to come back! Kind regards Hannah

Hola! We recently stayed at El Merida for the first time and unfortunately the good impression described on the internet was not confirmed. The reservation on the phone was nice and friendly, the good gentleman tried everything to accommodate us for the desired date. When we arrived at the restaurant we were assigned a table and then... yes, we were forgotten for 10 minutes. The guests at the neighboring table received their cards as soon as they sat down, but only came in shortly after us. The waitress should have noticed something here at the latest. At that moment the first impression was already clouded. We ordered various tapas, starting with bread with aioli and padrons and as the "main course" various side dishes such as chicken skewers and dumplings etc. The food was ok so far, the skewers were really good but the rest was very bland and bland. As a "signature dish" the aioli should always be top for a Spaniard, unfortunately I was very disappointed here. The aioli was unpleasantly sweet, more fatty than creamy, and there was no hint of garlic. The aioli is closer to mayonaise instead of having the fine, slightly spicy spiciness of garlic, which is tempered by the egg. I actually know things differently, especially in Spain. Really disappointing... The bread was just sliced ​​baguatte which was briefly toasted again. The dumplings with minced meat and spinach were very firm and the dough on the outside looked like a frozen product. The patattas, vegetable side dishes, potato cheese balls, pimentos etc. were ok but nothing special... The crema catalana was ok with a nice caramel layer but there was nothing special inside. It's a shame, it's not bad at all but it's somehow more like reality and slightly overrated! Will we come back again? It could be good, but not so quickly for now and if so, then we don't have high expectations and will avoid the aioli. I love Spanish food but unfortunately I can't give a better review for the evening, sorry!

Nice tapas bar, highly recommended

When we arrived we were left standing for several minutes. That doesn't work at all. Then when you sit down: the seating is too low, the tables are so wide that you can't really have a conversation. The overall atmosphere is not inviting. Then got up without ordering.

It's really bad how unprofessionally the owners deal with criticism. We've never experienced anything like this before. Anyone who criticizes a paella that is full of unpeeled seafood (and sharp-edged shell remnants), all of which have to be peeled when you are very hungry (and have waited a very long time), must be afraid that the police will be called and claim that The owners would have been shouted at and threatened. That's what happened to us. We couldn't believe what was happening to us. The owners even claimed that we had intentionally crushed the mussel shells (!!). We will never enter this tapas bar again. That was an extremely unpleasant evening for us. We were treated very, very badly there. Not as guests, but as criminals, you have to imagine that! Subsequent post on Monday, September 9th, 2024: After I told many of my colleagues today about our “experience” in the tapas bar El Mérida in Melle, who were just as horrified as we were, a colleague told me that he had also complained about squid rings there before, which in his opinion were no longer available were good. The reaction was rude, unfriendly and very unprofessional and no criticism was accepted or a solution was found. Apparently he was lucky that the owners didn't call the police and he wasn't stuck there involuntarily like we were. The restaurant's response throws around slogans like "disrespect, discrimination," etc. How disrespectful and humiliating it is to keep guests who have made normal criticisms of the food there from 8:30 p.m. until after 10 p.m. with the threat of the police, even though we constantly asked to be able to pay so that we could finally put an end to this horror scenario can leave? The restaurant's response to our review only further confirms our bad impression of this restaurant.

Wir hatten vorbestellt und die Servicekraft entschuldigte sich, dass die Küche 30 min. früher fertig war und das das Essen wohl kalt sei. Nee, geht gar nicht. Es war Freitag und sooo ein gewusel im Restaurant. Zudem sprach der Service wohl spanisch. Calamaris waren lasch, Alioli viel Essig, nicht selbstgemacht, Pflaumen mit Speck in der Fritteuse verbrannt , Iberico Schwein sehr trocken, Käse sehr alt, nur das Rindfleisch war frisch und schmeckte gut. Nie wieder!!!

Nice staff and restaurant where you can sit outside on the terrace. Meat was great for 2 stars, but everything else was just frozen food that you could have gotten cheaper at home. Very unfortunate and disappointing.

The food was delicious, the team was very nice.

Been here for the first time, I'm thrilled. Service, service and chef simply fantastic. Great atmosphere, you feel very comfortable here. My favorite restaurant now, thank you

We were in the restaurant for the first time today. Food and service are super good. The prices are manageable and not overpriced. Very good selection in the menu. We definitely recommend it and will come back.

Mega store with great portions of food to fill you up 👌

Here the owner serves personally. The steak is also made by the chef. Insanely good. Lovingly furnished restaurant. Gladly again.

Best tapas bar within a 100 km radius… I always enjoy coming back and also drive here from Hamm

My favorite restaurant in Melle and the surrounding area! Every dish we have ordered has always been very good. The service is also outstanding. Very accommodating, personal and pleasant. Anyone who wants to spend a pleasant and delicious evening will be completely satisfied here!

Guten Tag, am Samstag den 7.9.2024 um 18:55 Uhr habe ich zusammen mit meiner Begleitung hungrig und in wirklich aller bester Laune dieses Restaurant betreten. Leider wurde dieser Besuch zu einem ABSOLUTEN ALPTRAUM-ABEND, der von der örtlichen Polizei mit größter Umsicht und Souveränität ruhig beendet wurde. Hier nochmals das Dankeschön von meiner Begleitung und mir für den zum Glück sehr kurzen Einsatz der Polizei. Aus meiner Sicht wurde schon nach 1 min erkannt, dass dieser Einsatz eigentlich überflüssig war und nicht notwendig gewesen wäre. Hier die komplette Schilderung und Bewertung meines bzw. unseres "Erlebnisses": Wir haben uns um ca. 18:55 Uhr im Außenbereich auf der Stein-Terrasse an einen Platz für zwei Personen an einen Tisch gesetzt. Nach ca. 5 min. wurden uns die Karten überreicht. An dieser Stelle gesagt: Die Karten auf der Holzplatte finde ich extrem unpraktisch (mal schnell blättern nicht möglich, keine Nr. an den Gerichten). Wirklich auch nichts Schönes... Erste Überforderung: Wir sollten unsere Bestellung selbständig mit einem Kugelschreiber auf einem Zettel aufschreiben, was wir extrem befremdlich fanden, aber dann auch getan haben (habe ich in einem Restaurant noch nicht erlebt). Gefahr dabei: Sie können die handgeschriebene Schrift eventuell nicht lesen! Und wo bleibt hier eigentlich noch der Service, der selbstverständlich sein sollte? Personal hat die Arbeit zwar erledigt, aber war EXTREM LANGSAM und hat DEMOTIVIERT und TRÄGE GEWIRKT. POLIZEIEINSATZ -> man muss hier wirklich Angst haben, als unschuldiger sowie unbescholtener Bürger mit der Polizei in Berührung zu kommen, SCHLIMM: Unsere bestellten 2 Menüs kamen nach ca. !1 3/4! Stunden um ca. 20:40 Uhr, nachdem uns zunächst aber SOGAR NOCH FALSCHE GERICHT serviert wurde. Ich habe direkt festgestellt, dass meine bestellte Hauptspeise Paella in jeder Hinsicht EXTREM ESS-UNFREUNDLICH präsentiert bzw. serviert wurde. Konkret haben mich die Größe und die Vielzahl der ungeschälten Meeresfrüchte überall und tief in dem heißen Essen zugegeben absolut überfordert. Ich habe dieses Gericht direkt im Restaurant reklamiert bzw. kritisiert. Ich habe Ihnen dies direkt energisch mit dem Gericht in meiner Hand kundgetan, aber ich habe in absolut keiner Weise Sie oder das Personal angeschrien, wie Sie dies in der ersten Diskussion mit Ihnen behauptet haben. Dies entspricht schlichtweg NICHT DER WAHRHEIT! Sie haben KEINERLEI LÖSUNG angeboten, was sehr unflexibel Ihrerseits war. Sie waren selbst SEHR, SEHR UNFREUNDLICH! Nach dieser 10-minütigen Diskussion mit Ihnen habe ich mich wieder an meinen Platz gesetzt und wollte die Paella, so weit es ging essen. Hierbei habe ich nach ca. 2 min. zwei sehr SCHARFKANTIGE CA. 1 1/2 GROßE SPITZE MUSCHELSTÜCKE MITTIG IM GERICHT und im ersten Moment schwer sichtbar entdeckt (siehe Bilder). Sie haben behauptet, ich hätte diese beiden Stücke so präpariert! Unverschämt, entspricht schlichtweg NICHT DER WAHRHEIT! Zu allem Überfluss haben Sie es noch zum Schluss direkt nach der Bezahlung fertig gebracht, meiner Begleitung zu erzählen, wie schlecht ich mich denn wohl benommen habe. Zum Schutz Ihrer Gäste und allgemein möchte ich Ihnen zusammenfassend noch diese Ratschläge mit auf den Weg geben und dies erwähnen: 1. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre gesamten internen Ablauf-Prozesse noch einmal. SIE SOLLTEN AUCH KRITIKFÄHIG SEIN! 2. Scharfe Muschelstücke gehören nicht ins Essen!! Bitte teilen Sie dies Ihrem Koch am besten noch einmal mit. Das ist definitiv nicht normal. 3. Bitte lassen Sie sich und Ihr Personal noch einmal schulen hinsichtlich der Bedienung von Gästen. Sicherlich könnte man Prozesse noch schneller gestalten. 4. Sie haben extrem unprofessionell und überfordert gewirkt und mit der Verständigung der Polizei in jeder Hinsicht unangemessen überreagiert. 5. Mit dem Polizeieinsatz haben Sie sicherlich keine positive Atmosphäre bei Ihren Gästen geschaffen und können darauf auch nicht stolz sein! 6. Wir wollten bezahlen (was wir auch zum Schluss getan haben), aber Sie haben ohne Vorwarnung die Polizei verständigt. SCHLIMM!! 6. Service viiiel zu langsam 7. Preis-Leistung auch nicht okay! Portionen sind viel zu klein! Sie haben uns SEHR SCHLECHT UND DEMÜTIGEND BEHANDELT, nur weil ich etwas energischer Kritik geübt habe. In der Gastronomie sollte man mit so etwas umgehen können. Überdenken Sie hier Ihre Handlungen hier bitte noch einmal... Danke an das Restaurant-Team für die zur Kenntnisnahme dieser Rezension Mit freundlichen Grüßen D.T.

Ganz schlimm, wie unprofessionell die Inhaber mit Kritik umgehen. Sowas haben wir noch nie erlebt. Wer Kritik an einer Paella übt, die voller ungeschälter Meeresfrüchte ist, die alle gepult werden müssen, wenn man tierisch Hunger hat und voller scharfkantiger Muschelschalen, muss Angst haben, dass die Polizei gerufen und behauptet wird, man hätte die Inhaber angeschrien und bedroht. So ist es uns ergangen. Wir konnten nicht glauben, wie uns geschah. Die Inhaber haben sogar behauptet, wir hätten die Muschelschalen absichtlich zerkleinert (!!). Wir werden diese Tapasbar nie nie wieder betreten. Das war ein sehr unschöner Abend für uns. Nachträglicher Beitrag am Mo., 09.09.2024: Nachdem ich heute vielen meiner Kollegen von unserem „Erlebnis“ in der Tapasbar El Mérida in Melle erzählt habe, die genauso entsetzt waren wie wir, hat mir ein Kollege erzählt, dass auch er dort schon einmal Tintenfischringe reklamiert hat, die seiner Meinung nach nicht mehr gut waren. Es wurde patzig und unfreundlich reagiert und keinerlei Kritik angenommen oder Lösung gefunden. Er hat offenbar Glück gehabt, dass die Besitzer nicht die Polizei gerufen haben und er dort unfreiwillig festhing, so wie wir. In der Antwort des Restaurants wird mit Schlagwörtern wie „Respektlosigkeit, Diskriminierung“ usw. um sich geworfen. Wie respektlos und demütigend ist es, Gäste, die ganz normale Kritik am Essen geübt haben, mit Androhung der Polizei dort von 20:30 Uhr bis nach 22 Uhr festzuhalten, obwohl wir ständig darum gebeten haben, zahlen zu können, damit wir dieses Schreckensszenario endlich verlassen können?

Super great tapas with a convincing price/performance ratio. Maybe a little tip to the owners: The entrance area could receive a little more attention. The dried plants and rubbish are not exactly inviting.

Good day, On Saturday September 7th, 2024 at 6:55 p.m. I entered this restaurant with my companion hungry and in a really good mood. Unfortunately, this visit turned into an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE EVENING, which was calmly ended by the local police with the utmost care and authority. Here again I would like to thank my companion and I for the fortunately very short police deployment. At around 6:55 p.m. we sat down at a table outside on the stone terrace at a place for two people. After about 5 minutes the cards were handed to us. At this point: I find the cards on the wooden board extremely impractical (not possible to browse quickly, no number on the dishes). Really nothing nice either... First overwhelm: We had to write down our order independently on a piece of paper with a ballpoint pen, which we found extremely strange, but then did (I've never experienced that in a restaurant). Danger: You may not be able to read the handwritten text! And where is the service that should be a given? Staff got the job done, but were extremely slow and seemed demotivated and lethargic. POLICE OPERATION: Our ordered 2 menus arrived after approx. !1 3/4! Hours at around 8:40 p.m., after we were initially served the wrong dish. I immediately noticed that the main course I ordered, paella, was presented and served in an extremely food-unfriendly way in every respect. Specifically, the size and variety of unpeeled seafood everywhere and deep in the hot food overwhelmed me. I complained or criticized this dish directly in the restaurant. I made this clear to you directly, forcefully, with the dish in my hand, but I in absolutely no way yelled at you or the staff, as you claimed I did in the initial discussion with you. This is simply not the truth! They didn't offer any solution, which was very inflexible on your part. They were very, very unfriendly themselves. After this 10-minute discussion with you, I sat back down at my seat and wanted to eat as much of the paella as I could. After about 2 minutes, I discovered two very sharp-edged, 1 1/2 cm large, pointed, very sharp pieces of mussel in the middle of the food and at first they were difficult to see (see pictures). You claimed that I prepared these two pieces like this! Shameless, this is not the truth! To make matters worse, at the end, right after paying, you managed to tell my companion how badly I had behaved. To protect your guests and in general, I would like to give you the following advice: 1. Please check your entire internal processes again 2. Spicy pieces of mussel should not be eaten!! Please let your chef know this again. This is definitely not normal. 3. Please get yourself and your staff trained again on how to serve guests. Processes could certainly be made even faster. 4. You appeared extremely unprofessional and overwhelmed and inappropriately overreacted in every way by calling the police. 5. With the police operation you certainly didn't create a positive atmosphere among your guests and you can't be proud of that! 6. Price-performance not okay either! They treated us very badly just because I criticized them a little more forcefully. In the catering industry you should be able to deal with something like that. PS: In your reply to this review (which is my first), please write true stories with clear facts. However you always mention this...constructively and I repeat...with respect and TRUTH!! Thanks to the restaurant team for acknowledging this review Best regards D.T.

Delicious food, very nice and good staff.

Food, service and ambience all very good. We had a lovely evening with friendly service, delicious food and drinks in the El Merida tapas bar. "Thank you very much"

Always worth a visit! This 5-star rating is not flattering but more than justified.

Here you feel welcome as a guest without having to spend a lot of money. The service was very nice and the food was excellent. Thanks

Super modern and harmoniously furnished. The food was very good and the service was friendly and accommodating. We can recommend enjoying the evening here.

Very nice restaurant. Nice service. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Always happy.

The food was very good! The service staff friendly and competent. The wine recommendation - a rosé - was a perfect match for the chosen dish. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The dishes were delicious but are prepared differently in Spain with the same name.

Friendly service, delicious tapas dishes.

A really nice location with good food and nice service. We each had three tapas and were absolutely full afterwards. You don't necessarily know that from tapas. This also creates a great price-performance ratio. The food was very tasty and nicely prepared. The selection and offering leaves virtually nothing to be desired. If you like tapas, you should definitely stop by here!

Delicious Very friendly We recommend

This was our second time eating tapas here as we liked it so much on our first visit. And it was excellent again - tapas were very seasoned, but not overly seasoned. Better than a lot of what we tried in Osnabrück. Drinks/cocktails also very tasty. The service yesterday was extremely friendly and committed, that must be emphasized. The terrace is a great place to sit in the evening to enjoy the last rays of sunshine. We'll definitely be back!

Tapas bar with somewhat cool furnishings and large windows facing the street. Service very nice and friendly. In terms of taste, the tapas didn't blow us away. But perhaps we had too high expectations of “Spanish-Mexican” in Melle. Parking spaces behind the house. Toilets accessible at ground level.

As always, great, my husband and I are super excited. The terrace is a dream, great to come down to.

07.Mai 2024 Das Essen war sehr gut. Allerdings war der Servis dagegen sehr unmotiviert. Wir warteten 30 Minuten, bis endlich die Getränkebestellung aufgenommen wurde. Innerhalb von 3 Std. war es nicht möglich mehr als 2 Getränke zu bestellen. Ich denke, dass Personal hat sich dem passiven Lebensstil angepasst, oder zu viele Schlaftabletten geschluckt. Da geh' ich doch lieber wieder zum Italiener und genieße den Abend dort.

May 7, 2024 The food was very good. But if I have to wait 30 minutes for a drink order to be taken, I get in a bad mood. During the entire evening it was not possible to order more than 2 drinks within 3 hours. The service was very unmotivated and sluggish. I have rarely seen such a sleeping pill in service. I think that staff has adapted to the passive lifestyle.

The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly and the room was beautifully designed. It's just a bit noisy when all the tables are occupied as the room isn't that big.

A really very good tapas bar. The food is always perfect and the service is great. A little tip: reserve a table as there is always a lot going on there.

Very pleasant atmosphere, food is also delicious

Yesterday evening I spontaneously went to the tapas bar, although I didn't make a reservation, I was given a table and the menu. My choice was based on the steak, which I got as I asked for. Keep it up, I'll come back and try something different. The price is okay

Very nice service and good food

Delicious tapas and great cocktails. Plus friendly and courteous service in a pleasant atmosphere. Had a great evening and was definitely not the last time here

Food and drinks very tasty. Staff is very friendly.

Solid, but not exceptional. Large portions (tapas)

We have been there a few times now and are completely satisfied every time. The food is super delicious and the service is excellent. We enjoy coming and have often recommended El Mérida to others. Keep it up! :)

Today I ordered rump steak from Argentine pastured beef and was thrilled. Will definitely come back 😃👍🏻

Great food, friendly staff. But the acoustics are terrible. Super loud and you can understand your neighbor's conversations better than the person opposite you! Some acoustic panels might help! Then gladly again!

Cocktails with Powerrade 😍😍😍 The food tastes delicious but personally I would like more seasoning!!

Went to this great tapas bar for the first time today and felt very welcome. Not only was the food great, the staff also deserved the highest recognition. Very attentive and friendly

A super cool Spanish restaurant. The food and service is TOP. We'd love to come back :-)

Very tasty, above all the service was very nice

In this Spanish restaurant, modesty is reflected in its design. The ambience seems a little loveless, as if the potential of the room had not yet been fully discovered or exploited. It lacks those little details that otherwise convey warmth and character. The food, however, is acceptable. The dishes that come to the table are solidly prepared and meet the basics of Spanish cuisine, but without reaching culinary heights. It's the kind of meal that one would describe as okay, without highlighting any particular taste sensations. In summary, the restaurant offers a satisfying experience for those looking for uncomplicated, authentic Spanish cuisine, without placing particular emphasis on a welcoming or innovative ambience.

Very friendly staff. Sometimes you have to wait a bit because it's busy. But they strive for quick service.

Just a catastrophe... We had reserved for three and were asked if we could sit at a table for two. Well, what can you say? No? It was explained to us that other guests would suddenly come in groups of four instead of three. At first we were really angry, but as I said, you can't say no. When another two tables became available next to us, they reacted immediately and moved the table to us. Very well done!! 🫶🏼 So we had enough space and everyone was happy. The food was very good, as was the service. The menu has everything you need for a good evening. And what particularly stood out for me; vegan dishes Simply something special for a place like Melle! Because I benefit from it myself. The evening went so well that we reserved a table for Thursday.

Super delicious food and very friendly staff. We will be back.

Sehr nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen!

Tolles Lokal, sehr leckeres Essen, und freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter.

Also das Essen und der Service sind perfekt, aber es ist sehr laut dort und wir saßen hinter der Tür, sodass es sehr zieht, wenn Gäste rein und raus gehen, dadurch haben wir sehr gefroren. Aber Service und Essen waren wirklich top top.

Essen war hervorragend. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir saßen direkt am Fenster und dort war es etwas kalt. Aber definitiv nichts was einen Punkteabzug rechtfertigen würde.

Fantastisk god mad og service Da der kun var menukort på tysk fik vi alle bestilt for mange hoved retter hvilket vi morede os over 😅

Hier passte alles... wir kommen gerne wieder.

Tolles Restaurant mit einem guten Chef. Essen prima, Service sehr gut 👍 und faire Preise. Ein gelungener Abend

Sehr gute Auswahl und leckeres Essen. Der Service war super aufmerksam und freundlich. Eine absolute Empfehlung. Dazu kommt kostenloses Parken auf einem großen Parkplatz direkt hinter dem Restaurant.

War überrascht so eine gute Qualität in Melle zu finden. Die Sardellen waren hervorragend. Ebenso der Salat und die Dorade.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit freundlicher Bedienung. Gerne wieder. Man sollte aber dennoch ein bisschen Geld mitnehmen, da das Essen schon sein Preis hat (mit Getränken).

Wir waren das erste mal hier in dieser Tapasbar und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war lecker und die Mitarbeiter sehr höflich und zuvorkommend. Man sollte rechtzeitig einen Tisch reservieren.

Super Tapasbar! Das Essen und der Service waren super! Ich komme gerne wieder.

Ich war vor einem Jahr schon mal hier und war mit dem Service überhaupt nicht zu Frieden, sodass ich hier keine gute Bewertung abgeben könnte. Da das Essen war aber sehr lecker war, haben wir es nochmal probiert und ich kann mich überhaupt nicht beschweren. Toller Service, gutes Essen!!! Vielen Dank

Gemütlich, sehr lecker, reichlich auf dem Teller,Personal sehr freundlich. Preis etwas höher, aber angemessen. Wir kommen wieder.

Wir haben einen tollen Abend hier verbracht. Die Atmosphäre ist modern und zugleich gemütlich. Alle Mitarbeitenden, die wir kennengelernt haben sind super nett, wir haben uns wohlgefühlt :)

Meine Dame und ich hatten heute unseren Hochzeitstag in dem Lokal gefeiert. Nach dem herzlichen Empfang haben wir dort hervorragend gespeist. Das Ambiente und die Platzverteilung sind wirklich ansprechend. Die Toiletten sind sauber und auch für eingeschränkte geeignet. Im Sommer kann man auch auf einer Terrasse sitzen. Danke für den netten Abend. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Ich war schon zweimal dort und es passte immer alles: Essen, Service, Ambiente alles top. Gerne wieder...
