Reviews Summary
Restaurante La Taurina is praised for its excellent location, friendly and quick service, and well-presented food, especially the classic cochinillo. However, some diners found the food to be average and noted that prices can be high, particularly in this tourist-heavy area. Be mindful of potential upcharges for unsolicited items.
"Stopped off on way back to hotel for a beer. Lovely view, nice ambiance. Had an estrella galiicia x 2 and a gratis boccadillo de calamares. Top notch"

"Perhaps it was me and not the restaurant but I would only return for the friendly service we got from our waitress.
It was 10.15pm when we arrived
Our bill for the following was €74 for 2
3 vermouths
1 house white wine
Croquetas de Jamon Iberico (pretty good and a nice portion
Calamari (just ok. Big and tender served with half a lemon and the obligatory mayonnaise
A portion of Morcilla which to me was inedible. Not very hot and I got the impression
It had been sitting on a hot plate for a couple of hours. Pasty and very strong tasting the portion was enormous but we ate about 10% of it. Waitress did ask if we enjoyed it. My quibble here for everything served was it had the appearance of cafeteria food. No attempt to offer dips or sauces. Who wants morcilla with nothing else on the plate?
Desserts were a cheese cake (very good) and a flan.
Food could be presented with more pride and style.
Overall disappointing"

"Great location. Despite having a really busy day, we were welcomed to the restaurant.
The cochinillo is a classic and a must-have.
Prices are a bit high. However, it happens all around Segovia turistic area"

Restaurants in Segovia
La Taurina, located right on Plaza Mayor, organizes each course of the meal as a stage in a bullfight—no great surprise considering the bullfight-themed tiles on the wall and the profusion of matador memorabilia. Unadorned plates of suckling pig or baby lamb are what most people…
