Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"O Carballo is the kind of place you wish you had around the corner. No fuss, no gimmicks—just honest food served with the kind of confidence that only decades of doing it right can bring. I stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned, drawn in by the energy of the room and the unmistakable smell of home cooking. The empanadillas are everything people say and more—crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful inside, like something you’d get from your Galician aunt if you were lucky enough to have one. The tortilla? Soft, rich, and unapologetically classic. Portions are generous, prices are modest, and the staff works with a rhythm that tells you they’ve done this a thousand times before. You don’t come here for innovation. You come because some things don’t need to change. And O Carballo gets that."
"Cheap and delicious Galician good. Pulpo, calamari, and tortilla here taste all very good."
"Nice food, we ordered from the snack section and it came in bread."
"Simple and basic place with nice food at a good price"
"Nice place for a beer or coffee Amazing potatoes omelette Recommended"
"Typical Spanish bar, simple and tasty food. The tortilla was delicious, as well the pulpo."
"Fuimos a cenar un día entresemana y había bastante sitio para sentarse. Es un ambiente de taberna de toda la vida. Pedimos pincho de tortilla, empanadillas y calamares fritos. La tortilla y las empanadillas muy buenas. Los calamares estaban bien de sabor y, se notaba que era buen producto, pero, personalmente, creo que el rebozado no es el acertado. El general, el ratio calidad/precio es favorable para un sitio céntrico."
"I’ve been going to this place since I can recall. Always a cheap and yummy experience. The tortilla is amazing if you like it not over-cooked, and the calamares and jamón asado is also great! Can’t wait to be home again to go back."
