Am I biased because I know what tapas is meant to be: small plates of beautifully cooked food? Well, then I am, but this chef and the waiting staff really know how to serve up delicious food. A deal for two at £35 could never be interpreted as overpriced. This place is a must, but don’t expect piles of average food.

Not generally a fan of tapas - never understand why some dishes come with one food item short as to the number of people on the table (4 meatballs and five people!). I like to have my own plate of food. Overall it was good & tasty with a friendly, efficient service. It was Valentine's night and packed with a fun party atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Worth a visit. Enjoy!

The decor is rustic, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is wonderful. Good sized portions of tapas, wide selection, friendly staff. The service could be slightly prompter, given the size of the restaurant, but it’s nice to be given time to choose and eat. The wine on offer is very good, and our particular choice was excellent and reasonably priced. Tables and stools basic - could be more comfortable. Biggest drawback - the toilet! Door lock doesn’t work, empty loo roll, hand dryer that is like a gentle breeze and empty soap. And the toilet bowl needed a good scrub!

I was longing for some really nice tapas and this place delivered. Really cosy environment and welcoming staff which could make you think you were in Spain! The tapas were regular tapas size and the quality was excellent. I especially loved the cod fritters, the cheese and the Spanish omelette. All dishes were very good but loved these the most. Would visit again!

I found this place on Google and the reviews were very mixed some very good and other very bad. It was a a birthday treat fir my wife but as it was booked late I had to take my chances. I had more of a canteen look about it and the seating and decor was very basic. So not really a special event sort of place. The service was OK but quite alougth and everything came from the small open kitchen behind the service counter. We chose to go for the set menu for 4 and topped it up with a few other dishes. The food was tasty and well prepared. All in all the meal was good and it had the feal of a typical local Spanish tapas bar in Spain. But I would say they are charging restaurant prices in a cafe setting.

A lovely little place with lovely food. We shared the vegetarian 2 person sharing option, which could have done with something extra like bread to make it more filling. It was good value for money in Brighton. It was very quiet with only a couple of other tables. It is a shame to see all the negative reviews.
