This was my choice for my birthday I will never get over the guilt of subjecting my family to this woeful meal. The waitress was great, was working herself to death, while the boss was sitting outside drinking and smoking. It is not BYO, and we knew this, but I think a bit rude to be reminded not BYO when you open a gift of a very good bottle of wine (poor waitress being instructed to advise this). It is a pity such a good location wasted on mediocre food. I can cook better spanish than this -I never would serve chips with tomato sauce as a tapa.

The food was kinda good, but the flamenco dancers... a bit weird... Didn't like it. I saw some woman uncomfortable with the bums shaking over their husbands...

The tapas is very cheap and the all you can eat seems like a great deal but the quality of the food is sub par.
The meatballs are the ones you can buy from Woolies or Coles pre-cooked and packed into a tray (i know because i've bought them before and they taste the same!). It really doesnt taste the same as some good home cooked meatballs.
I distinctly heard the microwave several times during the preparation of our dishes which didnt give me much confidence in the quality of each dish either.
With the all you can eat tapas they will bring out a lot of the cheap, easy to microwave dishes to fill you up. And even though they tell you to ask for any dishes you want more of, they dont always follow up on those requests, hoping you will fill up on the cheap dishes before the more expensive real hand cooked dishes are ready.
If you have never been to a spanish restaurant you may be impressed by this place with the new tastes and the flamenco dancer. The ambience of the place was very warm and friendly. But if you have been to any of the authentic spanish restaurants in the city in the spanish quarter you will be disappointed.
Yep! Sadly it is too good to be true that a great spanish restaurant could open up in the shire :(

I've tried the Tapas platter for $35.00 and it was really good. I definitely want to go on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday night since they have all you can eat tapas available.
