Lively budget-friendly tapas and burger spot with fast-casual counter service, great prices and drinks, tasty croquettes and burgers, but inconsistent service and occasional execution misses.
Campanillo delivers solid value-driven comfort dining with strong food quality in croquettes and burgers, plus quick service and a vibrant Eixample square setting. However, quality variation between visits and isolated safety reports prevent a higher grade. Best suited for diners seeking affordable tapas and casual atmosphere rather than culinary consistency.
Set on a bustling Eixample square, this fast-casual spot hums with energy: counter orders, trays in motion, and pints clinking on the terrace. Diners praise friendly quick service when it clicks and often single out the croquettes and cheap beer. One guest summed up the vibe: "Great prices, lively crowd, and better food than expected for counter service." The cooking leans comfort-first: tapas and big burgers, loaded fries, fried squid, and cava sangria. It is more about satisfying portions and value than culinary fireworks, though items like the truffle burger and pulled pork nod to modern touches. When on form, burgers and fries win fans; at peak rush, some report inconsistent execution. For families, it is easy to order and share: nuggets, croquettes, fries, simple burgers, and cheesecake are kid-pleasers. There is a vegan falafel and several vegetarian choices, but the reality is a fried, burger-heavy menu; picky eaters will find basics, while health-focused diners may need to choose carefully.
