“ Lovely Spanish food. Good range of authentic tapas plates -ideal for sharing. Difficult to fault. Compared to my favorite tapas restaurant in Manchester this was almost half price per head. ”
“ Went here on Saturday night in Louth, 9.30pm as had lots of bookings. Very authentic tapas with tons of flavour. Gambas pil pil and beef albondigas were very tasty (all food is super fresh and prawns were from the fish market that same day, you can taste the difference! Nice music, very friendly service and well priced. Excellent desserts (some of the nicest churros I’ve eaten) as well would definitely return for good quality, freshly cooked tapas. Happy eating!
