   Love, love, love this place food is flavoursome, and cooked to perfection, and amazing flavours. The Service is on point with the hosts being attentive, friendly and professional. The atmosphere is cosy, and warm. The food, drinks service and atmosphere is all of a high standard.

   Went for a cheeky midweek Birthday meal and was very impressed with the place. My meal was amazing and the staff were so friendly and the service was excellent. Lovely night and will definitely be back.

   So glad we found this place given the lack of decent food options around this area. You could place this on Dalston high street and it would still likely be my most visited restaurant. The food was so so good, me and my partner are so fussy about tapas and always strive to find a decent one - though mainly cuban themed, this one out did all of the bars we found on holiday in Spain. The sangria was very good which is actually quite a rarity, and to top it off they are family run which you can really feel - the care and love for the customers is clearly a staple of this place. The owner who took the effort to serve us, was a wonderful woman & we can’t wait to come back. The live music (on the piano) is a great touch too.

   I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to after my recent experience - After reading the reviews and some recommendations from friends (albeit a few years ago) I Booked for my wife’s birthday and to be honest I wished I hadn’t, although the staff were friendly, the food was awful, where to start. Chuletas De Cordero - for £19 was 6 cube of lamb that had the texture and taste of rubber. £13 for a chicken breast that dryer than the Sahara. £38 for 2 seafood paella’s that were all but inedible, the seafood was that I can only describe as “chewy” at best, majority of the mussels where closed and the dish had no flavour! A chicken burger that I had to send back as I asked for no mayo, which seem like they just wipe off and put back on the grill for a few extra minutes = dry AF Arroz Latino - which was just stingy beef swimming in oil with chilli and a side of rice. Hopefully this review does what I intend it to do and gives this place the kick up the backside so they can get back to the place the prior made it out to be!

   The food was great and well priced, nice choice of cocktails as well. The service is a tricky one. The waitress we had was fantastic, and so polite. She waited on us hand and foot however the wait time for drinks etc was very long because she had been left to do everything on her own. It was a quiet evening and no one else was in there so maybe that's why, so I am not going to mark them down for it but one person doing 6 different cocktails while doing the other jobs was a bit of a stretch. Overall it is a great place. Friendly staff, including the owner who we met, fantastic food and decent tapas sizes. All the dishes were full of flavour.

   Amazing food, really recommend the steak skewers and the paella. Atmosphere was great and staff were attentive and had some cracking cocktails.

   Exceeded my expectations. Good service. Food came out on time. Tasty menu items. Only negative is the mojito which was just okay. I would still highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area. Tapas Galore
