If you're after a true honest Spanish bar this is the place. Food is amazing, great value for money. Delicious sangría and outstanding service (even on a busy Saturday night!), Erika our sever went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Thank you very much! Muchas gracias! Emiliano

Nice bar, had good cold beer. Tapas just keeps coming with your drinks ( I think they brought 4 by the time we finished our second doble. I didn't eat a meal here, but dishes at other tanks looked good.

I had tapas as both an appetiser and main course. The latter was with smoked cod. The quality of some of the products used was high. The espresso coffee was good. The atmosphere was colourful. Friendly staff despite speaking different languages.
