    We don’t live closeby but literally can’t help but come for the peppers and olives alone. Everything is delicious and authentic and the service is always so pleasant. If you’re looking for authentic tacos and amazing sides, this is the place to go.

    We had the fish and meat platter for two… it had a few strips of overcooked beef and some pieces. Of pily squid, mixed with oil, garlic, tomato, geen peppers. Oh amd some corn. For 59 euros. We had some bread and butter, which was plain toast. The service was not very friendly when we came in and left. I would avoid this one next time.

    Decided on this place because of we were craving latin food and drinks. It wasn’t anything special, just ok. We ordered several dishes, but the fried mixed seafood was the only highlight. It also didn’t help that we made a reservation requesting a window seat, but when we got there the window seat has just been given to another party.

    The atmosphere is "cantina" with lively Latin music and colourful decor. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was good although the tapas portions were quite large compared to others we have had. We had a nacho bowl (which is big) and 4 other plates which was too much for 2. Nachos plus 2 or 3 would have been better size wise. Grilled veggies were nice and crisp as were the spicy patatas bravas. Calamari plate was large and tasty although a little rubbery. Overall good. Would recommend for informal dining especially for groups.

    The food was great but the service was unfortunately bad. When we wanted to order another round of drink the waiter only took one of our other: a coke and had no patience to wait for others (3 of us in total) to decide. We asked for another (second) bottle of wine shortly at 9pm, 15 minutes after we ordered, we were informed that the restaurant will close at 10pm and that we have to leave at 9.30pm and the question is if we could finish the bottle by closing time?! While waiting for our friend to finish her coke…we saw foods and drinks served at 9.28 (to be precise). When we asked for the bill which never came…I went to the counter and asked if we still needed to pay or it was free of charge?! He apologized but never brought the bill. We ended up going to the counter to pay. It’s such a shame for a potential great place to be.

    Hi Johanna, I have to react on your review because what you write wasn’t the way it went. You ordered a second bottle at 21.20. I just wanted to inform you we clise at 22,00. I was willing to put the bottle, but i had to inform we close at 22.00, so you had to finish the bottle in 40 minutes. You told me surprised, “are you closing at 22.00?!”. Well, yes! The choice was on you. We waiters have a live too and on internet you can see our closure time. We put closure times to avoid this kind of scenes. I gently offered you, at that hour, that you could have also two glasses. I put the choice on you. And you decided. I dont think the service was bad at any table. It is my duty to inform you about the closure hour. The decision was on you. One bottle for two persons in 40 min made me think i should gently inform you. So i did. I am sorry you experienced it on another way. The bills for everone is paid at the bar, as we are still wireless. Your always welcome, but i hope you respect our labor and closure times…
