La Barraca in Wijk 00 Centrum

Everything was perfect. Tomas served us very helpfully and spoke to us in French throughout the entire service. I highly recommend him.

Super atmospheric place with very friendly staff. The food was also very tasty, we enjoyed ourselves!

Super restaurant and delicious food. Super nice host with very good tips for choosing food. Worth a repeat visit. Small but cozy. The staff really strives to provide top-notch service.

Authentic tapas bar with very attentive staff and good prices. Located in the Wyck district between the train station and the old town. The portions are perfectly adequate and well-seasoned. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The food is delicious, no complaints there. We entered and were given a table we were less happy with. It was no problem to change, but it took quite a long time for our desired table to be cleared. The service: they were super friendly but hard to understand. They only spoke English with a Spanish accent. The restaurant looks cozy, but unfortunately there is no air conditioning (minus points) and the music is very loud. As a result, the service was hard to understand; they spoke English with a (Spanish) accent. This in the noisy room was not pleasant. The building is nicely decorated but very noisy. D3Craft remained full of empty bowls and glasses; there was no room for another bowl. The waiter for drinks did not take orders for food. When we ordered a drink, we had to wait a long time. The crew handed beers to the kitchen, took a break, and went to eat themselves. At 9:30 PM, the music went off. In itself a relief, because the music was very loud, making conversation difficult and forcing people to talk very loudly. I found this annoying. I was bothered by the noise. But turning off the music as early as 31:39 feels very inhospitable. We left 140 euros there. I don't know if we will ever come back. The intention is absolutely there, the food and drinks are top-notch, but the service still has a thing or two to learn.

The portions were ridiculously small, my croquette still cold on the inside. Service was nice, rum and coke as well hence the 2 stars. Food was too salty, would not go back there

We were pleasantly surprised; the service and welcome were top-notch, the advice was excellent, and the wine was superb. The dishes were delicious and homemade, and we had a very enjoyable time in a lovely atmosphere.

A small, secluded restaurant. The food is excellent and the ingredients are high quality. The staff are friendly, although sometimes a little overwhelmed.

Nice little place. Not the best tapas in Maastricht, but certainly not bad. The atmosphere is good, and when the weather is nice, you can (if you're lucky) sit outside.

We didn't receive our drinks until 45 minutes later, and the food after an hour, and that was just one small dish. After that, it took another half hour before we got anything. In the end, we had to wait a long time repeatedly and didn't receive the right things. We ended up paying more on the bill than we received. For instance, we had to pay extra for croquettes that we didn't get at all. A learning experience for the staff and the restaurant.

It is a nice place and I think you can eat well there, but unfortunately the girls working the service didn't know much about it. They had a nice evening with live music; the atmosphere was good despite the power outage! Next time, a new chance to taste the food. Unfortunately, that didn't go quite right this time because of the girls.

Had a delicious meal, friendly staff. Great price

Delicious tapas, a good glass of wine, a pleasant ambiance, and welcoming service (English, but that was no problem for us). A successful evening.

The dishes were fine, but the service didn't seem very enthusiastic to us. There was also a lot of noise inside.

The food was okay, but the portions were small. The service was excellent. One of the waitresses could serve my wife in Thai, and the girl who made the drinks was also very cute.

Super atmosphere, friendly staff, even at the toilet there are perfumes, hair spray, everything you need.

We'd love to come back again :-)

Had delicious tapas in a cozy atmosphere with fantastic live music in the background. Friendly service. Definitely worth repeating.

Had a very bad experience. Food: very small portions (absolutely not as stated on their site), mediocre in terms of taste. Loud live music with flute and guitar. Spanish restaurant?? Absolutely not, didn't hear a single note of Spanish music. Fled after an hour due to the loud music (actually wanted to order tapas). Absolutely NOT worth repeating.

An unprecedented aura of and for the profession hangs there. Passion. Still with passion

Had a delicious meal in a cozy restaurant. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!!

Great food. Fantastic service. Delicious! I wanted to update my review after years, but my opinion is still the same. I love coming here and the quality is always top-notch! A lovely evening out.

Had a wonderful evening. Delicious food, nice staff!

Had a delicious meal. Pleasant service. The staff only speaks English. Not a problem for me, but it might be for others. The dishes came one after another at a good pace. Definitely recommended!

This place aims to evoke Spanish tapas, but the tortilla wasn't like the original, with too much stewed onion on top and baked potatoes underneath the egg layer. The paneoli was good. Fast service and friendly staff.

We had an unexpectedly super cozy, delicious, and atmospheric Tuesday evening at La Barraca. The staff were super friendly and attentive to their guests. The live music was the icing on the cake to the delicious food that was served.

Great service, nice food, especially the croquettes! Very cute place and service was super kind. Definitely recommend ☺️✨

It was okay, the food was good. Tables were very close together, so you had to get up when another table wanted to use the restroom or left.

Delicious tapas and a pleasant atmosphere.

An average tapas restaurant overall. The menu is quite limited, and the food was okay but nothing special. The service was friendly, which was a plus, but there wasn’t much else that stood out. Fine for a casual meal, but not particularly memorable.

La Barraca – a huge disappointment due to poor preparation and mediocre quality Our visit to La Barraca was unfortunately a huge disappointment on all fronts. What's presented as a Spanish restaurant, in practice, has little to do with Spanish cuisine. Not only is the authenticity lacking, but the preparation of the dishes is also downright poor. The skewer was a painful example of this: three small pieces of meat, tasteless and clearly not prepared with care. The meat was dry and bland, indicating poor preparation. For the price charged, this is simply unacceptable. The tortilla was also a huge disappointment. Instead of a proper Spanish tortilla, we received a dish that resembled a hastily thrown together farmer's omelet: a fried egg with some potato inside, lacking texture, flavor, and refinement. Another clear example of poor preparation. The absolute low point was the prawns. This dish was utterly laughable: six small prawns in a shell container, completely drowned in grease. They were so fatty and heavy that they were barely edible. Any sense of balance or skill was lacking. Furthermore, the price for this dish was €9, which was completely out of proportion. All in all: poor preparation, low quality, no Spanish identity, and prices completely out of proportion to what was served. A very disappointing experience, and absolutely no reason for us to return.

The food was incredibly delicious, and the kids were thrilled. My wife was also delighted with the food, so thank you for the wonderful time. It was great that you could order via QR code, but unfortunately there were times when the signal was poor (Vodafone) and it was difficult to order smoothly.

Good food (tapas) at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff. No long waits. Located in the Wijck neighborhood, much quieter than the city center.

Toast with mushrooms very tasty!

Good value for money. Delicious food and a nice atmosphere.

Such a lovely little place in the centre of Maastricht! We went as 2 vegetarians as we saw the standard veggie tapas options (bread and aioli, roasted veggies, nachos, etc) so thought it would be fine but it was so much better than expected! All our 5 dishes were fantastic, the timing between dishes being brought was perfect. It was not busy when we went. Staff were lovely! We had red wine which was incredible and some cocktails that were also great! Strong and delicious. We have no pictures as we are everything so quickly! We can’t speak for the meat options but I’m sure it’s just as good!

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, and prompt/friendly service. Highly recommended!

We spontaneously went to La Barraca for dinner. The welcome was friendly and good. Then we ordered drinks and a round of tapas with various dishes. What a disappointment. The tenderloin skewers (cost: 9.50) were really small (twice the size of a cocktail stick) and ice cold. At first, you think: it happens. Then the pan con tomate appeared. The tomato mix had an artificial flavor and seemed ready-made. Next came the piece de resistance: cauliflower in tempura. This was simply laughable. Not-quite-cooked cauliflower pieces in a sticky mess. Was this supposed to be the tempura batter? We have no idea; it wasn't crispy at all. In fact, I think it would make you really sick. And again: cold. And no flavor. The patatas bravas were okay, but you'd have to try really hard to ruin them. We were glad we didn't order anything after this round. We paid and quickly left. The service was friendly and apologized several times. But of course that cannot compensate for a complete lack of tasty and warm dishes.

Cozy restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service.

A fun place to try with a group. You can order small dishes and share them. The waitress was incredibly friendly!

We went to La Barraca for dinner last night and really enjoyed it! Delicious red wine 😉 and the music really completes the atmosphere!

The food was all cold. The coffee was also cold. The sangria was delicious. Waited three hours for nachos without the meatballs because they were all gone. Service was poor. Not going back.

A wonderful discovery. We enjoyed delicious tapas! The service was impeccable and very friendly! This is an address I highly recommend.

Everything was great! Or as they say in Spain: brilliant!

We hadn't been there in a while, so we thought, let's go.... A few years ago, this was a really good tapas place. But now, WORTHLESS! ....Do you have time to read this???? -We came in and weren't even greeted politely; the staff were laughing and hanging out with the chefs in front of the kitchen. When we were shown to our seats, before we were even seated, they immediately came to ask what we wanted to drink or eat. We were like, "Can we please take a seat and take off our coats?" Well, I thought, give her some wine, then she'll be happy to have something to do... Then the tapas: - The gambas al ajillio were just floating in a bowl of oil. There was a clove of garlic and a chili pepper in it—no garlic flavor at all. It wasn't even olive oil, really awful. It tasted like nothing at all. - The rest of the tapas were also completely worthless. Not Spanish at all. A real disgrace to Spanish cuisine! (Which is really nice when the chef makes an effort to prepare good tapas.) - The tortilla was absolutely awful. It was just beaten egg, a bit of onion, and some potatoes, nothing more, no flavor, absolutely nothing tasty (see the photo). - The calamari in beer batter was plain, and even that was tough and super greasy; the oil just ran out. - And almost every tapa came with a sauce—aioli, peppercorn sauce? Roquefort sauce? If you season your meat/dishes properly, like in Spain, this isn't even necessary. - The only thing that was tasty: the Pan con Amor, the only recommendation on the menu. - Everything else was way too expensive for what they give you. At least €9.50 per portion, and a carpaccio (tapas) was €14.50! No shame... And NONE of the tapas gave you the "feeling" of being transported to Spain, which I always experienced when we dined there last year and in previous years. I actually wanted to leave as quickly as possible, but I was glad to have some quality time with my husband after a long, busy period. - After a while, the music stopped. The staff didn't even realize this was happening, and we had to ask them to turn it back on. 😅 What a shame, considering the cozy decor... - The staff was also very pushy (from the moment we walked in). We were in conversation, and she was just standing next to us at the table, interrupting us with her tablet. "Do we want to order something?" Um, no, we'll call you when we're ready... - We drank Verdejo wine, which was delicious, but the staff couldn't even pour two equal, good glasses of wine. The girl had absolutely no idea how to do this, so it was only half a glass of wine. She was, however, the nicest and most Dutch-speaking member of the staff. **A few years ago, I regularly visited this place, but as of yesterday, I've promised myself I won't spend any more money there, TOO BAD!! We paid €135, we were still hungry, and nothing tasted good except for two dishes and the wine.... It used to be a good tapas bar with a great atmosphere, but the quality has gone downhill dramatically. TOO BAD!!!! for the owner..........

Super nice atmosphere, delicious tapas and a great musical accompaniment.....veer kaome zeker Trök.

very tasty food, nice people who served us, too bad the tortilla was not available

This restaurant is located in the center of Maastricht and offers a good food menu. The portions are generous and, although sometimes the food takes a little while to arrive, it always comes out hot, which is something I really appreciate and value. The only thing I would change is that the place could have a bit more space, but other than that, it’s incredible and you eat very well here.

A lovely little tapas bar with good service. We were very hungry, and the advice and selection were just right.

Usually tasty, but sometimes too much mayonnaise and sauces. Could have been a bit more combined.

Food is good. Unfortunately it was very stuffy and warm.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious Spanish dishes/tapas. Not just the standard tapas that you can get everywhere but some specialties. The place itself is very busy but nicely decorated. Waitresses are attentive and friendly. They take orders at the table or you can order food and drinks yourself via the QR code which is very handy if they are too busy to come and take your orders. The wine is a bit expensive for the quality you get. Price quality for the food is certainly fine.

We were lucky. It wasn't too crowded. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The tapas weren't too big, so we were able to try more. The service was very attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Price quality definitely satisfied! Tasty and (too) much eaten for a reasonable price. Only a pity that the service was not talkative. Nice that you can also order via qr.

Prima bediening en eten, we komen graag nog een keer terug. Goede tapas en wijn. Aanbeveling in maastricht en omgeving.

Waren zum Abendessen dort. Die Auswahl an Tapas ist gut. Die gemischten Käsetapas sind mega. Besonders lecker war der Manchego mit Mokka bestreut. Der eingelegte Bauch war so zart, das ich kaum das Messer brauchte. Leider ist die Akustik etwas ungünstig, so das es,wenn es voll ist sehr laut ist.

Very good restaurant for a (south) spanish experience. Felt like home, thank you very much

Great address discovered by chance. The food is great, it's fresh and of good quality. On top of that, the two young girl waitresses are super friendly! I recommend and see you soon!

Once again we had a delicious, authentic Spanish meal and enjoyed various tapas dishes. The homemade Sangria is highly recommended.

Super leckeres Essen. Freundliche Mitarbeitende und gemütliches Ambiente. Portionen sind für Tapas relativ groß, aber dann isst man einfach weniger verschiedene oder teilt sich was. sehr gerne wieder 😊

Tasty food and friendly service. However, there was a bit of a wait for 4 plates of tapas. The price was reasonable and there is a pleasant Spanish atmosphere.

Had dinner here for the first time yesterday and mainly chose the location because we had an appointment opposite. We are really pleasantly surprised. It was all very tasty. Not only the food but also the cocktails and wine were very tasty. Best caipirinha ever (only the pina colada could have had a little more flavor, it mainly tasted like cream). Very nice, attractively decorated place too. And, not unimportantly: a clean toilet😁 A barrier-free entrance (or threshold assistance) for wheelchair users would be a nice addition because there are no good tapas restaurants in Maastricht where someone with a wheelchair can easily enter. Oh yes, service was great too!

Wildly disappointing bland often frozen food. Worst tapas me and my father ever had. We had to reorder our food multiple times. If you’re looking for good food or reliable service don’t come here!

A Spanish restaurant where Spanish families eat, good sign. Fine tapas, good atmosphere and service. Recommended!

Gracias por esta increíble cena y la cálida bienvenida! Todo está delicioso y el lugar es tan agradable! Recomendamos encarecidamente este lugar

Based on the reviews we chose this restaurant because we really like Spanish food. Unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. More like the sister/la cubinata tapas than good Spanish. Price/quality is absolutely not in proportion. Sangria was very tasty.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. One of the better Spanish restaurants in the country. There are also many options for vegetarians! Dishes that I can recommend are the fried cauliflower and of course the patatas bravas! The service was very friendly: I had forgotten my scarf and they sent it to me free of charge, really class!

My girlfriend says she had the best tiramisu of her life here. That man who was working in that denim suit on the evening of December 28th is a legend 😀

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. Good price/quality ratio. Great address for those who love tapas.

We had a super delicious meal here! In addition, the atmosphere and service were also super good. Delicious sangria and well-equipped toilet for the ladies!!

Very relaxed atmosphere, ate and drank all evening. Delicious tapas and well taken care of!

Food was nice but not authentic or special tapas. Portions are smaller thus real tapas portions. No raciones.

We wanted to eat tapas on our short trip to Maastricht and that's how we came across La Barraca. On the first evening we didn't have a reservation, unfortunately there were no tables left. We then made a reservation for the next evening, which is really easy to do via the website. When we went back the next evening there was a small handwritten sign with our name waiting on our table. What a nice gesture! The service was really super friendly and accommodating. We particularly enjoyed the “Croquetas sorpresa” and the “Cheese Balls”. Only the "Champiñones con serrano" couldn't convince us. We felt very well looked after there the whole evening and can warmly recommend the restaurant. The two of us ordered 8 tapas (including bread), with two drinks and an espresso per person we came to a total of around €90. Not cheap, but worth it! We'd love to come back!

Just walked in on spec, hoping for a table for 2 and after some fiddling around I got a table for 2. I have visited many tapas restaurants but this one really hit all the boxes! Service... great! Atmosphere... great! And then of course what we come for, the food, really..... on the scale of 0 to 10 I give a 12! Insanely delicious! I will definitely do the ride from Tilburg to Maastricht more often! Highly recommended.

Live muziek en tapas, We zijn met een paar vrienden gegaan om te luisteren naar de live muziek die in La Barraca te horen is ongeveer 2 x per maand. Het was fantastisch! en ook nog heerlijk gegeten.

La Barraca. Gezellige avond met heerlijke gerechten . Echt een aanrader. Fantastische gastvrouw/ eigenaresse. Voor herhaling vatbaar!

Delicious fresh tapas! Pleasant steer

Very long wait before order was taken. You always have to contact the service yourself. Portions too expensive for the quantity and too little choice.

The food was generally delicious! Good and friendly staff. Too bad the brownie was gone at the end of the evening...

Gerechten voldoen niet aan de omschrijving Alles vlak van smaak behalve de dadels. Bediening omdat het moet. Kortom een ervaring rijker maar niet om terug te gaan.

Discovered a nice restaurant by chance. Service attentive, fast, neat and polite. Food was tasty, fresh, tasty, hot. Definitely recommended to go back again. Make a reservation. The only downside is no air conditioning, which is necessary in very hot weather.

Op een zwoele zomeravond gekozen voor dit tapasrestaurant. De sfeer was perfect. Gelukkig vantevoren gereserveerd, want alle tafels waren bezet op deze dinsdagavond. Stuk voor stuk heerlijke tapas gegeten en als kers op de taart live (achtergrond-) muziek. De eigenaresse blijkt geweldig te kunnen zingen! Hier kom ik zeker terug.

Unfortunately too noisy. Headache after dinner to concentrate on conversation with partner. Very close together. Took a long time for the drinks and food to arrive. Food was ok.

Nuestra tercera visita a este restaurante y nunca decepciona. Pequeño y acogedor, la comida es increíble y el servicio es genial. Recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveremos en nuestro próximo viaje a Maastricht. Solo me gustaría saber de dónde sacan su “puta de zapatos, cajas de billetes”. ¡Me encantaría!

Delicious food and friendly service!

We went with 4 persons to get some tapas for dinner and one is a vegetarian, so we ordered several ones in 2,5 hours: 2 times bread with aioli, 1 special dish of day: 2 pieces of melon with parma ham, 2 pieces of bread with grilled paprika & zucchini and some unbattered calamari with tomato sauce, 1 times big portion cheese balls (didn't taste nice/bad texture), 1 times meat balls (albondigas) in spicy sauce, 1 times tempura coliflor (tasted real bad, almost no dough and very squishy), 1 times buratta with tomatoes, 1 times patata bravas, 1 times nachos with sour cream (mwah very squishy not crisp). All the others were good, but looking to price/quality, WE will not go back!

This tapas restaurant is located in one of the nicest streets in Maastricht, in the Rechtstraat in the Wyck district. There is a nice and cozy atmosphere. We ordered a number of tapas here and they were all delicious and of good quality. The service was also perfect. Definitely a place to come back again!

Delicious dishes, good wine, reasonable price. Recommended

Nice place, a bit too quiet when we were there (2 tables occupied). Excellent food at a reasonable price.

A direct hit. Friendly service. Cozy little place with charisma. Very tasty and real tapas. Freshly prepared and fresh products. A top business

We really had a great meal here! Delicious tapas dishes and good portions in relation to the prices! Highly recommended, we often eat tapas but never had anything as tasty as this!! Really great :)

Very nice small cozy tapas restaurant in Wyck.

Delicious food, highly recommended!! Lots of tasty tapas, meat, fish and vegetarian. We miss Spanish music!

After trying many MANY restaurants in maastricht; this is by far the best on all levels. Service is always fantastic, food is always great & everyone eats for an unbeatable price. Peanut free facility which is a plus for me ! I always bring my traveling guests to LA bodega & it never disappoints.

Delicious real Spanish tapas restaurant. Even the service is Spanish. You order a few dishes and after a while they bring it to your table. The dishes come to the kitchen when it suits, but it doesn't take too long. Everything nice and fresh. The homemade brownie is especially recommended. Enjoy an idyllic Spanish dinner all evening.

Friendly service and the food has good quality. We were very surprised by the small portions and the high prices per dish. That relationship was not in harmony.

A piece of Mediterranean in the heart of Maastricht. Delicious food, friendly and professional staff and a fun atmosphere.

Very friendly service :) The food is very delicious, and I would highly recommend the gambas al ajillo (with extra bread to dip in!) pimientos and datiles with bacon. The atmosphere and music makes the whole experience a super warm one.

We had been here before and we liked it so much that we were afraid to visit again. Since we were afraid that it could never be this good again. However, we were very pleasantly surprised. Delicious dishes, great atmosphere. We will definitely come here more often.

Zeer lekker gegeten. De tapas zijn lekker van smaak. Bediening is erg gastvrij. Alle tafeltjes waren deze dag eigenlijk gereserveerd. Maar ze hebben er speciaal voor gezorgd dat er toch nog een extra plekje open kwam.
