Absolutely delicious tapas and plenty of vegetarian options. The food was fantastic with room for only tiny improvements. Aubergine (outstanding!), garlic oil mushrooms (amazing!), garlic bread (great!) courgettes (needed a little more honey), padron peppers (needed a little more rock salt), homemade lemonade (lovely!). Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Beautiful decor. Highly recommended!

Nice Spanish food. We like all those we tried, except the Aubergine Tapas which was a bit oily.As mentioned in the menu, it took about 25-30 minutes for the preparation of the Paella which was reasonable.

A fresh taste of Spain in Harborne…Booked this for a catch-up session with a friend through First Table. My friend was raised in Barcelona… from the moment we walked in, it felt like we were in a little tapas restaurant in Spain. From the tapestry on the walls, the decoration and as well as the music playing in the background that she couldn’t help singing to every now and again - having been “raised” with those songs.The premium sangria - 10/10!! So refreshing, 2 jugs served us well enough to give a mini buzz and enjoy the mammoth meal that followed.The food:Each tapa they brought our way somehow tasted better than the previous one. They were having an oxtail special that night and boy did it not disappoint.The paella’s are large enough for 2-3 people. I have had better paella in other restaurants locally, so would not recommend this as a dish to have. It was very soggy, and lacked basic seasoning.Also, you HAVE to try the jam on croquettes 😋, easily the best tapa we had.We also got some nice complimentary blue berry aniseed shots to top the evening off.Will definitely be returning with even more people, for more laughs and food.(I can seem to post all my photos or the vids)
