Had a lovely evening . The tapas was fantastic and the house wine too. The staff were friendly and attentive. Wish we lived closer so we could go again next week !

It was a busy Saturday evening so had rather a long wait for the food but it was excellent. Great menu selection, very good house wine and friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money.

Went without looking at reviews. Disappointed with food but impressed by friendly staff, though I dont think 2 waiters was enough for an impressively busy Wednesday.
We opted for the 3 course meal for £21.00 . starters of Baked aubergines with tomato and cheese as was the beans, chorizo and ham casserole were underwhelming. Main course of lemon sole was not in a parcel as stated on menu but a fillet and was soggy. The lobster, crayfish and dill sauce was ordinary. We had dessert hoping it would redeem the meal . Enjoyed the caramelised oranges in Grand Marnier. The lemon cheesecake appeared to be a concoction of whipped cream flavoured with lemon on a biscuit base and didn't impress my guest. We would have chosen Paella but was told this took an hour to prepare as this is my guest's go to choice at a Spanish restaurant in the Uk . Pity this isn't stated on the menu on the website so one could pre-order. Reading reviews since visiting, it looks like we may have made an unlucky choice of food. I think it will be a while before we return. We've been to better Spanish restaurants similarly priced.

We visited with my son and daughter-in-law on a Friday night and were impressed with the service and friendly staff. We decided to stick with the tapas and loved most of it - the butterfly prawns, the croquettes, the tortilla and liver were all excellent as were the choice of desserts afterwards. The house red was very good too.
Why not five stars then? I may be harsh but we thought the chorizo was slightly overdone and not as good as some we have eaten.
Having said that we will definitely go back as I think the service, ambience and virtually all the food was first class!

Visited at lunchtime, so not very busy. Lovely welcome, and told to choose where we would like to sit, which was nice.We love tapas, so even though there were lots of other choices we stuck to the Tapas menu.The waiter recommended that we pick 6 dishes, but as we always seem to have one too many on many other occasions we had 5, which it transpired was enough Meanwhile my husband was inspecting the wine list. We settled on a bottle of Muga rioja 2014, which is one of our favourites, and excellent as expected. Particularly liked the fact that the waiter decanted the wine into a Muga branded decanter! Nice touch! The food followed in about 10 minutes. We chose albondigas, king prawns in white wine sauce, chorizo in cider, calamari in tomato sauce, and patatas bravas. All were excellently cooked and the calamari were some of the tenderest we have tasted. Service very friendly. Would definitely revisit

My friend and I visited on a Friday and the manager apologised for the restaurant being so quiet. We could sit anywhere! We had a lovely glass of white Rioja followed by a couple of tapas dishes and then shared a paella which was huge! The staff were very friendly and eager to please. After a mini break we had the lemon cheesecake and coffee. I could not fault the food at all. Will definitely return.

Looking for a change from the usual Epsom restaurants, we booked this for a birthday meal. The service is exceptional and personal - it is so rare for a restaurant to actually tell you you are ordering too much! The tapas are delicious but not over filling. Aubergines, mushrooms, tortilla, patatas bravas all thoroughly recommended as is the cheese cake and Mille feuille ( both home made). Delightful friendly service. Will definitely come here again. What a lovely surprise in an unassuming parade of shops! And they also have a veggie menu.

I found this local restaurant whilst searching for Date Night for my wife and i. The existing reviews helped a lot but it was the menu and family restaurant with a Scottish connection that caught my attention and I'm really glad I chose it. Carlos greeted us and straight away made us feel welcome with his warm, genuine personality. Our main courses of Halibut and Garlic Tiger Prawns were cooked to perfection and the house Rioja and desert's were amazing.
Thanks to Carlos and his staff for making our evening both memorable and fantastic. We will definitely be back and will be recommending to our friends.

Once again a fantastic evening. Although we were booked for an early evening dinner the restaurant filled up and the banter between Carlos and everybody coming in was really friendly. The food, service and value for money is great.
