The restaurant is loud and echoey with no real atmosphere. The food was ok but portions smaller than that of other tapas restaurants. The house wine is nearly £26 a bottle by they time they stick their service charge on your bill. When we questioned this 10% service charge we were shouted at and told not to come back by the owner, a very old, rude man, which is not a problem as we really don’t want to as we have an outstanding tapas in Horley.

The staff here are incredible. So friendly, attentive and always welcome you with a big smile. It really makes a huge difference. All of them have their own individual personalities and are allowed to shine!Fortunately the food very good too! The lamb chops are absolutely delicious as is the octopus.The atmosphere is great too. It's busy but in a lively, exciting way.I always look forward to coming here.

Have eaten here a few times and the food has been excellent on both occasions personally I think the better option in coulsdon for a quite evening meal out. Steaks are superbly cooked.can be very quite but that's a good thing.

Zero star rating. Terrible service. We felt discriminated against. We were being pestered to order every few minutes. They continued to rush us while we were eating by continually asking if we had finished. After just one hour they tried to clear our plates away when we clearly hadn't finished and the waitress tried to get rid of us by stating that she can put the rest of the food in a doggy bag for us to take home. They didn't bother to offer us dessert. And to add insult to injury they gave us incorrect change and ignored us when we pointed it out. We had to remind the lady who made the mistake to give us the correct change at which point she spoke to a gentleman who abruptly came over and told us he was short changing us because he didn't have the right coins. There was no sign of regret or an apology. As for the food it was bland. I asked for some tabasco sauce to spice things up a bit and was given a tiny bottle that was virtually empty. Never again. Awful. They killed the vibe completely. Not recommended.

Busy Friday evening service. As soon as you arrive the noise in the restaurant is terrible, all hard surfaces and no soft furnishings to adsorb any noise. You have to lean close to the person next to you to have a discussion. We had a party of 10 people squeezed onto 4 tables, where smaller parties had a table per 2 people. So everybody was clashing elbows continously. After we sat down it took 15-20 mins for someone to come and take an order for drinks. Seriously understaffed for the number of people in the restaurant. Drinks orders when they arrived were incomplete or wrong, could well have been because the staff can't hear what was being ordered and also drinks sitting on the bar not delivered for long periods of time. Again took ages for someone to arrive to take food orders even when prompted when passing by. Food was some of the worse tapas I have had. Whitebait was so thin no body and fried to a crisp. Calamares a la romana was not crispy and no substance, I have had better out of a packet. Potato bravas just boiled potatos (not even pan fried) covered in a mediocre sauce. The only decent dishes were the lamb chops, Padron peppers and the Chipirones Provencal from the specials. The Chicken and chorizo Paella was awful, the chicken was just the leg joints with little to no meat and lots of undercooked chorizo. Churros were very thin (out of a packet) and over cooked. One of the waiters was rude and they also charged us for a drink we didn't order.

We booked here for a meal out with my girlfriends, it was a Tuesday night and the atmosphere was good.The service was brilliant and the staff were friendly and entertaining.Food was incredible, one of the best tapas I have tried. Each tapas plate was hot and smelt delicious and individual, which some tapas can blend into one flavour. We ordered two dishes each and shared the dishes.Can't wait to come back.

Absolutely the best Spanish food in the area. Every single time - whether it was delivery or dine-in experience - I got great food and experience there. You can blindly order anything there and it will be cooked and served fantastically.The smallest downside - it can get super loud inside, but otherwise food is totally worth it!
