“Wow what a fantastic Spanish tapas restaurant in Chelsea. Food was flavoursome and not salty, so you taste the food so well. So delicious. Had the grilled octopus from their “specials” and can I say it was very special and have told the chef they should have it on their regular menu. Real Spanish feel about the dining area and reminded me of those crowded tapas restaurants in old San Sebastian. Great experience.”
“We ordered two boards for a taste of Spain - the Jamon ibérico and the campero (which features various cured meats and cheeses, with pan con tomato). It was delicious! The ham/jamon was so rich and you can tell the quality is high. The service was also impeccable and our waiters were very welcoming. Would definitely come back to try the paellas next time, they smelled amazing!”
“This place is pretty good! Wait staff is very friendly. Get the pulse brunch deal! You get unlimited mimosas and sangria for 90 min plus a meal and dessert to share. Small, only a couple of tables and the booth we sat in the back is made of wood and was uncomfortable. Doesn’t seem like they can fit parties more than 5/6 (6 if you squeeze in booth). I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich and the potatoes that came with it, even though they were a little salty. The mimosa was very good. I liked smelling the orange peel in the drink as I drank it, but the second mimosa I got they left out the orange peel. My friend said the sangria was too sweet. I loved the churros! They were hot and crunchy on outside and gooey on inside. Chocolate sauce was thick and delicious, and not too sweet. Would definitely come back here again.”
“Everything is absolutely delicious, so the missing star isn’t about the food. I loved everything we ordered every time we’ve been here, and I’m a bit sad this is gonna be a negative review but… The prices at first seem too good to be true, and when you see the portions you understand why: most of them are comically small. The anchovies, the croquettes, the fava bean mash are ridiculously tiny just to name a few. 6 anchovies and 5 olives? The fava bean mash consisted in two pieces of bread the size of Oreos. Thankfully the “off menu” steak was filling, otherwise this would be more of an appetizer than tapas place. Also last time we went they put us in the back room, which doesn’t have a great atmosphere and felt like an afterthought in terms of service speed compared to the front tables. We wanted to order more and ended up changing our mind because we would have waited too long.”
“I came here hoping for a juicy tortilla de patatas but my hopes were crushed. This tortillas was dry and overcooked, maybe even store-bought. The happy hour menu doesn't have any discounts on the food, only on the wine. Unfortunately, wouldn't recommend.”
