“ Had a fantastic evening here as a small group. The set menu offered great choice and there was plenty of it. The timing of dishes was spot on and the wine recommendation was perfect. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and brilliant value. ”
“ Absolutely delicious tapas, we arrived before 5 and got their 6 for 25 deal and my goodness it was one of the most delicious meals I've had. The freekeh salad blew our minds. Lots of vegan options which was great news for my partner but I wasn't limited as a meat eater myself. If I'm in the area I'll definitely come again!!!! ”
“ If you looking for a Spanish tapas place to eat in York, this is one of the best place. Recommend to book table especially on weekend as it’s busy. Food is amazing all the dishes we had so delicious. Staffs are so friendly and happy to service you. Good vibes. The portion of each dish not to big so you can try few menu. Price is valuable and affordable. We fished all the dishes and definitely will come back. ”
“ Great selection for Tapas choices, including deals and dishes for vegan eaters. I was pleasantly surprised to eat such a delicious selection, beautifully presented. We also chose the sherry tasting, which was nice but not something I'd go for again. For lunch we ate Foccacia bread, shelled prawns, Pork belly, Battered shrimp, Butternut squash, meatballs and chorizo, YUMMMMMMMMM!!!! And the desserts......burnt basque cheesecake and almond cake, totally delightful but to be shared after such a rich meal. Defo try their Acorn liqueur after food, super delicious. Kudos to the chef and the friendly staff. ”
“ Fantastic service and extremely accommodating! Went out of their way to pre-mark a menu for us with all the dishes my partner couldn't have due to an onion intolerance. Best allergen/intolerance care I've ever seen. Food was fantastic, our party of 5 enjoyed practically every dish we tried! The sangria was also lovely. Wonderful staff, very friendly. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy tapas or just good food in general. Honestly, very reasonably priced too. They recommend 3-4 tapas dishes per person and I think that is spot on for most people, depending on what dishes you order. Most tapas dishes are about 5-9 with most being closer to 6ish, so you end up spending about 50 each with a drink or two. If you're in York and fancy tapas, I couldn't recommend this place more. ”
“ The service was very efficient polite and well informed. They coped vert well when my grandson went in at the expected time and announced that we would behalf an hour late. The menu was very varied and the wide variety of items we ordered were well cooked and presented. Couldn't fault anything. ”
“ Unbelievable food, brilliant service and great atmosphere, such a shame we don't live closer as we'd be here all the time!! ”
