Having been to Galicia I can confirm the pulpo a la gallega was as authentic as it gets and the Iberian ham and calamari were both delicious. Two of our friends are veggie and they loved their veggie tapas - particularly the croquettes. Much better than going to a chain like Cafe Andaluz. The “coronarita” cocktails were also great fun. It’s not cheap but good Spanish food isn’t cheap and the service could have been a little better but it was very busy on a Saturday night. One of the pictures on the wall is definitely San Sebastián (I’ve stood on that view point!) and not Santander as the waiter claimed (haha!). read less

Must go! Fave Spanish restaurant. Best authentic Spanish restaurant in Glasgow! Always consistent everytime we go and very friendly staff. Should be on everyone's list.

The staff are all so lovely and friendly and we weren't kept waiting at any point during our visit either. The food arrived quickly, the portion sizes are very generous and it all tasted delicious. The meatballs are to die for! We shared the chocolate brownie for dessert, also a huge portion and super yummy! The non alcoholic sangria was fab too. We will definitely be back for more and would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for a wonderful lunch! read less

The food was delicious. The gambas al ajillo and calabacín rebozado were particular highlights. Topped off with a café bombón. Going home for a sleep.

Gracias Elena’s read less

We ordered 15 dishes between 4 of us - which is probably a huge pain in the backside - but still Neil and Ines were great and so nice, and there was virtually no wait for the food to come out. The place has a great vegetarian/vegan range of dishes too, which suited one of our party perfectly. Really tasty cocktails too!(The sangria was my favourite). Would 100% recommend. read less

I love this restaurant and would definitely recommend it. Like most restaurants I think there were teeth problems initially after lockdown, but on this visit (25/09/20) everything was wonderful and the service was running like clockwork. Can’t wait to come back. read less

After receiving a complimentary tapas dish made from potatoes, veg and olive oil, we shared beer battered prawns with Marie Rose sauce, smoked salmon and brie in breadcrumbs plus hummus and crudités. There were others that we had been tempted to order but after those four tapas, we were too full. All dishes were delicious! Love having this restaurant so close to home and will be back again soon! Also, kudos to the staff for all the covid measures they take and so glad this hasn’t affected the great quality service they always give! read less

From the moment we arrived the service was fantastic, and the safety precautions in place re COVID made us feel very safe. Our waiter, Neil, was so friendly and took time to explain the menu to us. We chose 3 starters - meatballs, garlic prawns and patatas bravas and they were delicious, the meatballs in particular were a highlight. We then had a mixed paella - wow! So tasty - be prepared it is a LARGE paella. We had it between 2 but could easily feed 4 - we took the remainder home! 5 star from start to finish and I can't wait to return. read less

Came here before and enjoyed it and it was our first revisit since lockdown. When we arrived we waited outside and someone came immediately to check we had booked, show us to a table and take our contact details. He explained that the table had been wiped down and offered an extra wipe down if we’d like it.

Looking around i noticed the place has had a bit of a makeover since last visit. Very nice! Tables were more spaced out because of distancing. Our drinks order was taken quickly and shortly after our food order was taken. There was no problem of excessive wait. People were arriving, being told the safety procedures and shown to tables as we waited so there seemed to be a good system in place.

Our food came out in good time. Clams were delicious and we ordered bread to mop up that amazing sauce. The fried courgettes in red wine glaze are fantastic.

After our food we ordered another couple of glasses of wine and chilled before moving on. A really good and enjoyable meal and i have to say in total contrast to some recent reviews and this was a Saturday night. Remains a firm favourite and the effort to keep people safe and happy appreciated. Back soon! read less
