It was super busy but what a great job they all did at serving us and with a smile. They were rushed off their feet yet food was delicious, hot and came quickly. Would recommend

This restuarant has changed hands. After years of visiting and thoroughly enjoying everything about the place I was very disappointed in how it has changed. Yes the decor has improved but everything else has gone downhill. Prices have had a huge increase and portions have got smaller. 20 of us had a food bill of just over £400. The drinks bill was even higher and I couldn't believe that there was nothing discretionary about the added 10%. A lot more revenue was lost for the owners as we decided to end our day in a local pub where we got value for money.

It was an OK evening. We were very hungry and there was food. The grilled vegetables were very good, the wine good, meatballs average, prawns pretty good. Bread was dreadful - white sponge. Salad OK. The cheese was very tastelesss and I wish we hadn't ordered it. All in all an OK but not inspiring meal.

Good food at a very fair price, the service and staff were friendly and most helpful. This was our second visit, taking a Spanish friend to a Spanish restaurant went very well. Buono fortuna Juve'. Roger Foster, Warwickshire.UK.

Very friendly welcome and attentive staff through the evening. We did not feel rushed with our food. Food was amazing as always we went for a mix of tapas, all came out hot and very delicious. We have been coming to El Molino for the last 9 years and plan to continue to bring our friends and family for many years to come. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere making everyone feel welcome.

Excellent tapas - the croquettes de Bacalao (cod) were particularly good. Warm atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Would certainly come again (as a pre-match lunch or early dinner)

El Molino special tapas starter was perfect for two. The patatas bravas were excellent and cheese delicious. The steak was tender and the sauce flavoursome. The lamb chops well done. The torta de Santiago was perfect and we loved that there was Cruzcampo. Will definitely go again. Aiming for Christmas Day.

The restaurant has had a refurbishment and has lost some of its charm. It is still a good Spanish restaurant with a good choice of tapas and wine. The main courses we selected were a little disappointing. My Lubina, Sea bass was over cooked and dry as was my son‘s chicken dish. I hope our experience was just a bad day. I have been there many times in the past.

Friendly service and delicious food. The meat paella was great, as were the tapas starters. Also had their sangria which was tasty, particularly the bravas and padron peppers

Good food and very helpful service! Went on a week night so it was very quiet but the atmosphere was relaxed. And no noise from the Holloway Road! We used a Groupon deal which was for four tapas and a glass of beer or wine. The voucher was accepted but as we don't drink, the replacement for either the wine or beer was not for an equivalent in price. Would definitely recommend El Molino.

Not a bad environment, lots of Spanish folk there. Service was slow, although the place was nowhere near full. Cold plates for hot food. Hot dishes came at different times instead of being served together, the dish of hot potatoes coming long before everything else. Rice smelled off, although that could have been the particular type of rice, or oil that it had been cooked in. Fish and spinach croquettes were good.

The staff were very kind and helpful. We had my birthday dinner at the restaurant and they switched off the lights and played "Happy birthday" music while bringing out a cake with candles. They made everyone feel comfortable and most importantly, the food was authentic and delicious.

Great neighbourhood restaurant- service is always friendly and efficient, even when there was a large party (30 people) there at the same time. Tapas are delicious as is the sangria!
