El Rincón de Pepe

C/ Sant Mateu, 6 – Sant Antoni de Portmany

Located on Calle Sant Mateo, more-or-less opposite the fountains on the seafront promenade, this renowned tapas bar is a true landmark of Sant Antoni.

With a history dating back to 1962, El Rincón de Pepe has retained its quality over the years, despite the changes brought about by the influx of tourists. The excellence of its products and the service of its staff are as impeccable as they were when it opened its doors more than half a century ago.

In addition to a wide variety of tapas, such as salads, escalivada, anchovies in vinegar, grilled mushrooms, Ibiza-style octopus and grilled cuttlefish, they also offer a varied dinner menu with a choice selection of meats and fish.

Both in its rustic-style interior and on its terrace overlooking the street, at El Rincón de Pepe you can enjoy the true essence of the Ibiza of old and savour the authentic flavours of the island.

Food and service were exceptional. 100% recommended
The place is good, but today I ordered takeaway and was disappointed. I'm from the Canary Islands and I know perfectly well what a proper portion is, and four calamari pieces aren't one, and they charge a fortune, so why not give it to me?

Stumbled upon this fantastic tapas restaurant in San Antonio 5 years ago and have been coming back religiously every year ever since. The menu may have changed slightly year on year but never disappoints. We are always welcomed back by the same waiter Louis who treats us like good friends. This year the rice with prawn and crab and the rice with mushroom and truffle were extremely delicious! Can’t wait to return next year!
Extremely disappointed with the service. When we arrived for dinner, there were only two tables occupied, so we sat down. Once our order was taken, other tables began to fill up. We were the last to be served, despite having arrived and ordered before others (probably locals who were already customers), and we were the only ones whose bread wasn't brought to our table while we waited. Everyone, and I mean every table, received olive bread with a dip, while we had to wait for everyone else to be served first, with only drinks on the table and no consideration whatsoever. I thought they had an aversion to Italians, I don't know... The food wasn't bad, but nothing exciting. The icing on the cake: I asked for meatballs, but they came back to the table to tell me I'd have to wait too long and invited me to choose another dish. Too bad that, after a few minutes, the table next to me received exactly what I wanted. I'm sorry, but it was a terrible experience and, above all, terrible service.

We ordered pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce, but it was more like fries with sauce and four small pieces of tenderloin—a rip-off. The table was filthy, and the whole place was filthy; cleanliness was practically nonexistent. The air conditioning unit had a terrible filter, which can't be good for your health. I wouldn't go back even if I were drunk.

We went for tapas last night. The service was terrible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The two waiters who served us seemed annoyed that we were there. They took ages, both to take our order and to bring the bill, and not because the bar was packed. They didn't even have half the items on the menu. The tapas were small and oily, they didn't offer us bread, and the beer with lemon was warm. When they brought the calamari tapa, they didn't even say "enjoy your meal" to us, but they did to the women at the next table. It seems like they're more selective about being friendly to women. The air conditioning and the fan were blasting even though it wasn't hot inside or outside. Anyway, we went because we thought it was a cozy, homey bar, and now they're going to end up on Chicote's show one of these days.

Very tasty food - delicious! Had the pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce, goats cheese croquettes. Best sangria i had during my stay, and good prices. Will definitely return, food could have been a little warmer though.

If you’re looking for an authentic, local dining experience in San Antonio, Rincón de Pepe is a standout. Tucked away on a quiet side street just off the main taxi rank, it’s surrounded by small boutique and souvenir shops, which adds to the charm. This is one of the oldest restaurants in San Antonio, and it shows in the best way possible with its traditional atmosphere and consistent quality over the years. The tapas menu is excellent, with a strong focus on classic Spanish dishes done properly. Everything feels authentic, from the setting to the service. It’s the kind of place you go to when you want a more genuine Ibiza experience away from the louder, more commercial spots. A great choice for a relaxed meal in a proper, traditional setting.

Came here by strolling through the streets. Very friendly staff who also speak multiple languages. Food is excellent. Portions are very generous and the variety of the menu is also very good. Came here a couple of times and we would recommend coming here to people who like authentic tapas

I just had a delicious octopus here! It was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and had the ideal texture. It was served on a bed of cherry tomatoes, onions, and green peppers — everything was super tasty! The dish cost €25 and a pint of San Miguel beer was €4. Plus, the atmosphere is great, there’s some background music playing, and the staff is really attentive. I’m sharing a photo of the menu here to make things easier for you guys. 😉
Cozy place, varied Tapas menu, delicious entrecote!

Nice place with good local food and kind service!
Everything exquisite!! Everything seems incredible to me. Spectacular food and service that couldn't be better. We have tried almost everything and drank without problem and great value for money. We will repeat without hesitation.
Everything was great, we will return for sure. The calamari and burrata salad were exquisite. Although I don't eat it, the people I came with commented that they have the best ear and nose they have ever tasted, and this is Ibizaaaa!

Regular food, the quality and quantity of the food do not correspond to the value compared to other possibilities very few meters away. The table was dirty, the beer was spilled because it was poorly served and no one came to clean it up. Attention with a little reluctance.

The waiter servicing us was very off from the very beginning. We initially thought it was because we were wearing beach wear. But then we’ve notice that the same waiter was treating another gay couple with rudeness. Very unprofessional, and would not recommend ever! Apart from that he didn’t explain anything about the menu not did he do a check back on the food he had served (as he did with other hetero couples). This is what we order and how disappointed we are with the food: Meatballs : the meat was really dry with not much seasoning. Garlic prawns : really poor execution how is per picture , the prawns was overcook and he garlic was completely burnt. Pork fillet : it was really thought, the sauce was really salty and tasted very artificial made from a ready prepared powdered Bravas : overall good
Delicious food and charming owner, very fast service. Highly recommended.

Surprised by the attention of the waiter and also the quality of the food. The squid are very good and the Galician blond entrecôte is very tender and tasty. Very reasonable prices for the quality of the product. We will return without a doubt!

We have been coming here for many years when we are on vacation. It was much better when the old owners were still running the place. The food was okay, the new owners were very nice, but just feel the food was not as good.
