    Interesting menu, especially if you’re into both traditional Spanish tapas and Asian food. Bao with prawns were my favourite. Book or arrive early, it can only seat 40 and is popular.

    The tapas selection is great. Personal favorites - the pork cheeks and ribs. A bottle of wine is a good company. The staff is friendly and helping even in spanglish :) All this at reasonable prices.

    Make your own guacamole! We ordered guacamole as a side. Menú del día was also good and cheap. Menú del día includes appetizer, main, and dessert. You get so full!

    Great value modern tapas in a fun, trendy atmosphere. Plenty of vegetarian options including fried green tomatoes with goat's cheese and Syrian salad. Skip the Makipan on the menu - bread sushi?!

    Cozy, smart atmosphere and great tapas-like dishes in an off-beat fashion. It might sound hipster-ish but it doesn't feel that way.

    Assortment of tapas is good, but the staff doesn't speak English, so we ended up with the tapas of pig's ears :)
