Tarambana - Medellín

We pop into this place at least once or twice a week. Love the service. Our favorite dishes are the pinchos de jamón as well as the ox tail. We normally top it off with some Tinto de Verano, the sophisticated cousin of sangria.

I was so lucky to find this hidden gem in the Rio Sur mall!!Fani is amazing!!Manuela is a wonderful chef!!Family owned and operated!Amazing dishes!Great atmosphere!!

This charming, romantic Spanish restaurant is located in the small Rio Sur centro comerical in the center of Poblado. The quality and the presentation of the food is superb! The broad menu of so many savory dishes makes it hard to decide what to order the first time there. I enjoyed one of the Tabla appetizers and one of their Paella dishes. So delicious, and the Paella...... I totally devoured the pan full of rice, shrimo (large and small), & mussels. They offer 2 excellent Spanish beers, plus local and other beers. They also have a nice wine list.....and of course...sangria. I only wish they would offer their delicious sangria in a half carafe size. The full carafe is fine for 2 or more people, but way too much for one person to drink. They do offer a sangria-type wine by the glass but w/o any fresh fruit in it. Once you visit here, you will surely return!

Tucked away in the back of the Mall Rio Sur on Ave El Poblado is the best little Spanish Restaurant Tarambana. We went there for dinner since a friend had recommended us to go there. The food was amazing and the service was excellent and well priced. Since it was a week day the place was not fully packed but I believe that during the weekend it is probably full. The tapa positions were good and the paella was excellent. We visit spain every year and found out the owner was also from Spain and you could notice that the food was as authentic as it gets. Highly recommend this restaurant is you are in Medellin. Alex is a part owner and the chef for that night and he did a great job and my wife and I had a nice conversation with him.

My favorite Spanish restaurant and bar in the heart of the financial district. I visit this place at least 2-3 times per week. They have the best jamón ibérico, pulpo a la gallega, tinto de verano and croquetas. My go to order is almost always the same. (Ham, squid, red wine). The service is excellent and is always consistent which is rare here in Medellin. You're always met by the Spanish owners (expats as well). They personally greet you when you come in. Tarambana is conveniently located inside of Rio Sur. By far the safest, most exclusive, neighborhood in all of Medellin. You will love this place if you love Spanish food. And if you want a taste of Spain without flying to Spain also check it out.
