Great vibe - and good food reasonably priced. We shared the meat nachos which were fab and then had mains but the taps also looked great Happy hour cocktails two for £13 were a great start. It was very busy when we arrived at 7:15 - worth booking
Had a lovely evening, waitress was very caring and made sure I could eat even though I have a lot of alergies. Thanks for the great time and the great food!
Best tapas and cocktails in town ! I highly recommend the croquettes and the chicken skewer, with nachos to share for starter and La Casa Del Amor cocktail to drink :)
