I have to say we were left a bit disappointed with our recent visit. The food didn’t taste like authentic Spanish tapas. The potato bravas was basically small roast potatoes, lots of authentic Spanish dishes missing from the menu such as paella or meatballs. The food was well cooked and tasty enough, but nothing you couldn’t make at home. On a side note my wife gave the waitress a special candle for my birthday for a surprise at the end of the meal, but they completely forgot and she didn’t feel comfortable asking in front of me. I’m afraid we wouldn’t go back.

We had a wonderful time with friends at this charming restaurant, savoring both the delicious food and friendly service. Their tapas selection is extensive, and I especially enjoyed the sangria cocktail and churros with chocolate. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Spanish flavours!

Had a wonderful meal here midweek with friends. Staff were great, funny, helpful and kind. The food was delicious and prompt. Good variety of dishes. Good selection of wine and sherry! Tried a sherry tasting board. Didn't use my wheelchair, but the staff put the ramp down for me anyway. Accessible toilet was very clean and well laid out. Highly recommend, and we will be back for more.

Happened upon this tapas restaurant randomly while visiting Louth. Although the service was great, the food was mostly non-authentic and a bit disappointing. I was here on my own, so ordered four dishes. Patatas bravos (spicy potatoes) Montado de Lomo (special pork on bread) Lola con tamate (Spanish mackerel fillets on tomato bread) Chorizo y vino (Spanish spicy sausage cooked in red wine) The Chorizo y vino was amazing. Properly spicy, just like being back in Spain. Wonderful and recommended. Unfortunately that’s where the brilliance ended. The special pork on bread… It wasn’t special at all, maybe deli pork bought in? The spicy potatoes were with a salsa that wasn’t spicy, so non-authentic. The mackerel on tomato bread was served on bread that was either toasted french stick or pre-bought toasted slices. Nothing like authentic tomato bread. Please, up your game. Amazing Spanish food is properly amazing and can still be simply produced without cutting all the corners.

Don't get Me wrong the service was really good and the restaurant is lovely and the food tasted great but unfortunately I ended up with food poisoning and was sick as a dog for 2 days which wasn't much fun at all, sorry but its only fair to be honest.

Lovely Spanish food. Good range of authentic tapas plates -ideal for sharing. Difficult to fault. Compared to my favorite tapas restaurant in Manchester this was almost half price per head.

Incredible food and service, couldn’t fault a single thing. Lovely atmosphere and didn’t feel pressure to rush at all, with super great value for money too, we spent £44 on 5 tapas dishes and a bottle of wine between two of us. 10/10 will definitely be returning and would recommend to everyone, thank you!!

Small Spanish tapas restaurant in the town centre. Gets very busy so need to book. Reasonably good selection of tapas dishes. Well cooked. Thought it was pricey for what was served up. Made a nice change.
