La Fabrica - Crouch End

Incredibly quick service (we could have been in and out in 20 minutes...) and good food. Not bad value and a good atmosphere once it busied up a bit.

Great food for the best prices!!Large portions,very delicious!!!Welcome staff!!First tapas bar where staff don't rush you to finish your food and drinks,to take new customers.In general great experience!!Thank you LaBota.We'll definetly come back!!!

Delicious food, great busy atmosphere. The lamb cutlets were particularly good! We also enjoyed some sangria, which was excellent. We have been to la Bota many times and the food and service has always been excellent!

We always enjoy our evenings at La Bota. The food, service and ambience are brilliant. We have been going to La Bota for many years.

The food at last boat was lovely. ..the service was ok but could have been better...overall a nice evening. Would recommend and visit this restaurant again.

Excellent food with great service have been coming to this restaurant for twenty years the new owners have kept to the great service and excellent atmosphere and have also updated the great food.

Great restaurant, excellent food and friendly service. Ordered 5 different dishes for two people, which all arrived very quickly. I would definitely come back again.

Had a great evening with my family the food was great and the staff very polite i definitely going back again thank you very much

Good food - some tapas dishes were excellent. Warm, friendly atmosphere - a bit less personal than on previous visits. Good value for money - recommended.

Food was delicious we had sardines, black pudding, bread with Serrano ham and tomatos, asparagus and ham croquettes which were very tasty - highly recommended. We were a bit late but luckily the table was still saved for us. Very busy so the service was a little slow but once the order was put in we didn't have to wait too long at all.

This was my first time at La Bota having walked by it many times. I will definitely go back. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even nicer.

What looked like the owner was quite rude in the way he was trying to rush us for the next customer, even tho we had no intention of staying late..

This is a really good restaurant. Great variety of food, friendly staff, and good value. I would recommend it to others and will be going again soon.

We've been to La Bota before and always enjoyed it but this time we thought that the food was better than ever. The service was good and efficient, all the dishes we ordered arrived together, were hot and most importantly delicious.

Each time I visit, the food is equally wonderful but never identical, so even choosing the same dishes is exciting and interesting. Service is friendly and discreet.

We are regular customers at La Bota, often combining a meal there with a visit to the nearby Arthouse Cinema. We are invariably impressed with the selection and quality of the tapas, the service and value for money at La Bota and highly recommend it.

The food at La Bota is superb, always and the fact that people were turned away because the tables were filled by 8pm is indicative of its popularity. The staff are charming and we love going there. We've also been there on a flamenco evening which was very atmospheric.

A very nice and authentic restaurant. Great food and very reasonable prices. We loved all the food, particularly the specials. Octopus, patas bravas and whitebait are a favourite

Good selection of well-cooked tapas, most of a fairly classic kind. Wines are good, though fairly expensive. Lively atmosphere with most tables taken, and very efficient service.

Pretty decent food and prices. Nothing mind blowing but the food was good and my partner and I were more than happy with all the dishes we ordered. The wine was good too (can't recall which unfortunately). Good atmosphere and service (although we were there early so it was pretty quiet).

Nice food but service a bit casual. Restaurant needs to do sparkling wine by the glass as we often like this as an aperitif in the summer and do not want to drink a whole bottle preferring to go on to a white or red wine.

Great restaurant, always friendly service, no exception on this visit, great choice of tapas and most important, great value, without doubt the best value munch in Crouch End

Busy night tonight but la Bota had everything under control. Good food, including some tapas which were new to me. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Excellent tapas, good service, friendly and efficient staff, reasonable prices = our favourite restaurant in Crouch End. We've been twice in the last fortnight and will probably go again soon.

This is a very good local restaurant. It is always busy so people clearly love it. The food is excellent and served promptly. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Worth a visit if you have not yet been. We will be back.

Every time I take a guest, they can't wait to repeat the experience. When I'm in reach of La Bota, I never choose to go anywhere else.

The food was very good but came out at different times. The service was reasonable but could have been a bit more attentive. Overall enjoyed and will go back.

We still love this restaurant for its good food and good value for money. However it is not outstanding as it was under the previous owner. The emphasis on authenticity, freshly cooked dishes and quality of produce has now given way to more emphasis on presentation. Sadly the colourful and lively decor which gave a real charm to the place has now been replaced by a drab monotone (fashionable?) grey.

Fantastic evening here with my wife. Great food and wine. All staff very warm and friendly. Service was great. Live flamenco dancing was a great touch and made for a fantastic atmosphere, although if you're not interested in the dancing you may find it noisy Will be back...

Amazing food - very fast service! We had about 12 plates between 2 of us and every single one was incredible! I Would definitely recommend.

The range of tapas is great, the food is so fresh, the staff are so helpful and friendly. We will be going back for the 3rd time in 3 weeks!!!!!

Very pleasant friendly atmosphere and delicious freshly prepared tapas - all at good value prices. This is a local restaurant which I and my friends enjoy visiting regularly.

Wonderful and interesting tapas food, nice surroundings and good value, cant wait to visit again. Ps the chocolate, caramel and honeycomb ice cream is amazing!

The original and still the best tapa place I crouch end. Try the chicken livers, it sounds like it shouldn't work but it does. Great staff, some of the team have been there for 15 plus years.

We had been to La Bota a few years ago and been quite happy with it. When we arrived this evening we were placed at the back of the restaurant and when we asked if this was the only table we were told sorry that's what happens when you book so late. The ordering was fine, but the starters arrived with one of the tapas dishes and then ten mins later some of the other dishes arrived. The first dish was almost cold when the other dishes arrived. We had to ask for bread twice. Some of the dishes were very tasty but for the cost I felt that the quality was poor. For approx £5.50, the asparagus dish was three slices of cheese on top of four sticks of very salty asparagus. The potatoes and salad never arrived. The atmosphere was frenetic and the bill was incorrect. This was supposed to be a special meal with friends and ended up being an ordeal. The service was poor and we were never asked if everything was ok and had to ask for the bill twice. We left swiftly and went to a different restaurant for desert and drinks. A very disappointing evening.

I have just enjoyed a lovely birthday meal-delicious food and a menu that was easy to navigate (with lots of options) for our vegan party member. And very reasonable! Lovely friendly, helpful staff.

First rate as ever. Nice that the same dish will come in different versions; always a lovely surprise. Service warm and friendly, but never obtrusive.

This was our first time here. The staff are pleasant and friendly. It was fairly busy. I think booking in advance is sensible. The tapas are excellent. We will be back!

The food at La Bota was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient. Really nice atmosphere inside. Food took a while to come but staff were apologetic, and it was worth waiting for

Great tapas bar, friendly staff and always a great variety of tapas. A nice atmosphere and better value than some of the restaurants in the area. Always an enjoyable visit and will be returning very soon.
