Big portions. Good value. All the food was fine, albeit a bit underwhelming - there's no dish that stands out. It's got an authentic Spanish vibe but also felt dingy where we were seated. The sangria was nice. We weren't convinced to go for the set menu.

Worst experience in tapas bar which I been before. Food is nothing to highlight. Paella is way too too salty. Order a jug of Sangria and taste is like sugar syrup way to sweet. The only good thing is the Atmosphere is good. 😰😰

I came with a group of friends for my 50th birthday, we chose the £20.90pp set menu. There were about 20 dishes hot and cold. This is the best meal I have had in Newcastle and we were all full to the limit. The service was amazing and the staff friendly and helpful. Eventhough it was quick service we never felt rushed and they didn't push us to leave once we had finished the meal. I definitely want to come back, I cannot find one fault. 5 star plus

Really disappointing experience. Mixed salad at £6.65 was nothing more than a handful of mixed salad leaves from a bag you'd get in a supermarket. Tomatoes were ice cold. Keeping tomatoes in a fridge degrades their flavour and these certainly had none. Practically a whole white onion piled on top. Would normally expect red onion in a dish like this. Actually laughing that I paid for it but I had a theatre show to get to and the young man serving was clearly out of his depth. Tomate aliñado was, if I'm being generous, at least one whole cold tomato. Again flavourless. The Champiñones al vino blanco turned up ten minutes after we had finished eating so returned them. Not sure why they took 40 minutes in total to arrive when there were only three other tables in the whole restaurant, and only arrived after we pointed out we hadn't received them. All in all the flavours were severely lacking. Either we came when the usual chef was on leave or other reviewers have never been to Spain. Spanish people would be mortified by the food here.

I'm a repeat customer here. First, the staff is unbelievably lovely. All of them, so kudos to whomever does the hiring! Second, the food is great. The menu is extensive and possibly overwhelming to some, but you'd be hard pressed to mot find something you like on there. Finally, I love the atmosphere of the place. It reminds me of some of the places I've been to in Spain and it's so cozy. The garden seating is great and if I had one wish, it would be that the garden was bigger and got more late afternoon sun. In sum, love this place!

We got one of the set menus. There was four of us and I don't usaly like tapas because I go home hungry!! But I was very pleasantly surprised. They brought out the cold tapas first and then the warm dishes. Food was amazing and I went home with a full tummy and content having a lovely birthday meal.

Foods fab Great value Nice atmosphere Service lacking in areas Last minute booking with restaurant week and they fitted us in with ease. No one at the front bar to greet which is a shame so wondered through to back to get seated. Now I don’t expect a run down of the menu on arrival but a quick briefing and drink offerings usually standard. Not leaving the menus in a heap and walking away got the sense their a little understaffed. Food and drinks came out prompt and all tasted great. Loved ever dish! This place is very reasonably priced outside of restaurant week and worth going for the food.
