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.

Since Sutton lost its two independent Tapas bars I've been looking for a replacement, I think I've found it. I won't go through all the dishes as many are standard Tapas fare but the specials we were offered were exceptional, well worth listening to the waiter for (that said the liver and onion in a sherry reduction was the outstanding winner on the day). On a practical level the staff were lovely, the restaurant clean and comfortable and all the food cooked to a very high quality. All in all don't hesitate to go, really wonderful place

Although most of the guys and girls are Portuguese they portrait a very Spanish atmosphere. They always remember us, what we drink and our favourite table which makes us feel very special. Service is brilliant and the food good, what more can you want!! DAVID

This was our third of fourth visit here. The welcome is never anything less than warm, the family really do make you feel like an old friend.
Food is lovely. I could eat the liver dish all day every day. Beautiful wine at reasonable prices. And a nice touch to put a candle in my daughter’a crema catalonia dessert.
We will be back soon.

As my pseudonym suggests, I enjoy all things Spanish, so when staying in the nearby HIE (15 minutes stroll up the home straight on the racetrack!) I had to visit, and I was not disappointed, the father and son team were very friendly in the front of house, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and was reasonably busy for a Thursday night.
Decided against the 3 course £21 selection, and went for 3 tapas dishes instead. There were no sardines rather disappointingly so I went for a king prawn and crispy Serrano ham dish with a nice sauce, this was extremely tasty, for mains I enjoyed battered monkfish and aioli, again very tasty, and then an Asturias stew of giant beans and chorizo, this was a bit disappointing As there were only 2 bits of chorizo in the dish, there was plenty of bread on hand for. Sauce mopping, and I enjoyed 2 cold beers and a nice glass of wine to finish.
A nice tasty meal, for around £40.00, I would say ok value, but I did have 2 seafood dishes and I will certainly return next Time i am in Epsom. Good but not sensational hence the 4
