History of Barcelona Tapas Restaurant

In 1987 chef William Carballo decided to travel to Spain and study the language as well as the local cuisine and he was immediately enthralled by the tapas, a specialty of the country. After working with two Spanish chefs in Chicago, he decided to move to Puerto Vallarta in the year 2000 to open his successful restaurant, Barcelona Tapa. In December of the same year, William converted the roof of his house and opened Barcelona Tapas, which consisted of 56 chairs, 14 tables, a stove with 6 burners, a small refrigerator and a freezer. He worked day and night, living in the restaurant. He began his business with 2 employees and serving only 10-25 people per day.
