    Fave place! Friendly service, great atmosphere and tapas. I highly recommend the Queso Frito (fried cheese), the beef skeewer and the calamares. And oh! Their Sangria and the Margaritas are superb!

    the food was very good, but we had to wait an hour and 15 minutes to get our food. we wanted to order more food but we didn't because we didn't want to wait so much again...

    Very tasty food, spice tacos and good drinks. To many guests and very crowded, therefore a bit loud and noisy for our taste. We had a table downstairs with a full restaurant. There were seemingly only 1 bartender and 2 waiters to service like 75-100 people, way to much work for them and they argued loudly with other. We ordered drinks and they forgot some of them. We ordered food and waitet for over an hour. When we spoke to them, they were very friendly towards us.

    I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I keep being pestered to do one, so her it is. Overall we were very disappointed. We were sent down to the basement, which wasn't ideal with two small children and a buggy. But once there it could have been quite cosy, apart from the fact that we were right next to an aircon unit that kept us on the brink of chilly and, as the one electric light by our table wasn't working, we needed torches to read the menu and couldn't really see what we were eating. What light there was came from candles, which soon burnt down and had to be replaced by ourselves from unoccupied tables. If that suggests service was less than attentive, you'd be right. As for the food, we came for tapas and that's what we had, but they were very variable in quality and quantity, at around 100kr a pop. The calamari and pimientos were good value for money, while the cheese with honey and churros were positively miserly. A return visit is not on the agenda.

    Great food and service! The Calamares were perfectly crispy and the meet skewer was juicy and went great with the spicy pico de gallo. The place was packed and the drinks were proper. After dinner, we went downstairs to the party and danced and had a great night. We’re definitely going back.

    Fantastic food and service. Noise level made it difficult to talk as our table was right next to the bar. Will come again though! Thank you!

    Pros: Very good food and slightly bigger portions than you usually get at tapas places in Stockholm. No compromising on quality or quantity because “The Fork”-discount, which is far from the norm in Stockholm, so kudos to La Cucaracha for that! Cons: Food took a very, very long time to arrive which to be due understaffing , we only saw one waitress for the entire establishment. The ambience wasn’t amazing and lack outdoors seating, which on this particular sunny day would have been ideal.

    The staff is friendly and take their time to talk to the guests about the food and give good recommendations. The service is quick and the food is awesome and in quite big portions for tapas. Highly recommended!

    We arrived at the restaurant on time, only to be informed that the kitchen had already closed—despite the fact that this was during their posted opening hours, and they had confirmed my reservation just an hour earlier. When I asked if I could take a photo of the closed kitchen, the owner refused, so I didn't. However, a male staff member then approached me, forcibly took my phone, and went through all my photos. This was completely inappropriate. Rediculously, they falsely marked me as having dined at their place. Addressing this issue with The Fork team, but justI want to warn others: avoid places where staff feel entitled to snatch phones from their guests.

    The food was excellent, the fried fish especially so. The service was lacking quite heavily as the food took a long time to come out, we were never checked up on and were without water for a long time and we were not able to flag down a waiter. We ordered churros and the order was forgotten, took over 40 minutes to come out.

    4.5/10

    Food was tasty though very small portions. Initial service was reasonably fast but then food took a long time to come out and after that could not get their attention again. In the end we left without ordering dessert and possibly another drink or coffees so they lost that chance to make more money too. Considering all this I cannot recommend it

    A mid week dinner. The food quality was decent. The service was good. The ambiance was cosy. The cost for quality of food was great. Would love to be back sometime.
