Okay...there´s this really good tapas place right across the plaza from the Cathedral (Giralda side) I THINK (but I'm not sure) it was right on the corner of Mateos Gago. Anyways, there's bull's heads mounted all over the place, and the tapas were about 2 - 3€ each.
Also, over on the other side of Barrio Sta Cruz, is a little place called Santa Cristina...it faces the Jardines de Murillo. My friend took us there...also very inexpensive tapas.
My ABSOLUTE favorite place in Sevilla is on the far end of c/Sierpes from the centro...it´s called La Campana. ABSOLUTELY the best sweets ANYWHERE! Have a cup of coffee and some trufas for me! (stay away from the Ice Cream - I heard it's just Ben and Jerry's). For REAL Ice cream...search out Heladería Las Rayas on c/Almirante Apodaca. Supposedly the best in the city. We liked it!
This place was really neat! Very historic, as the oldest eatery in possibly the whole world...owned, continuously, by the same family since it was opened in 1670. Traditional Andaluz food. http://rinconcillo.restaurantesok.com/aquiok/detallrest.jsp?id=2612&prov=Sevilla
Oh, and the little Churrería that was up the street from where we stayed on C/Arfe...right by El Postigo, is where the king, himself, gets churros when he's in the city.
There's also a couple of nice little cafés on that street..Arfe, about a block from the Catheral on the Bullring side.
*edit* I know you said you didn't want touristy sites, but this one is really good. Go to the home page for all things Sevilla.

The only place I really loved in my brief visit to Sevilla was El Rinconcillo. Yes, it's in some of the tourist books, but still mostly locals. http://www.elrinconcillo.es/
