this place is centrally located and close to public transport , its a quaint little place great staff but not a good place for children, great place for after 5 for supper and drinks , the price greats and averages are great not really a place for group booking as they take so long

Approximate cost: $23

A nice little place- nice staff - friendly- food is wonderful, as is variety- - price ok- not the astmsphere for children- but great after 5 place- we had dinner and went back a few days later for an early supper and drinks- I definately would go back again- we had a lovely time-

To celebrate my partner's birthday last week, we went with a bunch of our mates to the Spanish Tapas Bar in Fortitude Valley. We ended up with a group of 11 eating at the same time, and another two arriving later on.
Because our group is not exactly known for being totally punctual, we didn't end up ordering for close to an hour after we got there, but the waitresses were very efficient in making sure that we had a constant supply of sangria and Spanish beers in the meantime. The sangria was chilled and delicious, and served in a sugar-rimmed glass, with fruit chunks at the bottom. It wasn't as strong as I would have liked, but at $16 a bottle, it was super refreshing. There was a good number of Spanish beers to try, and I think we had a go at most of them. Mahou appeared to be the favourite.

When we did finally get around to ordering, we were a bit happy and probably over ordered - all worth it, though. They suggested the banquet menus for a group the size of ours, which ended up being a great idea. 7 of us went for the Tapas Banquet, 2 vegetarians had the Plato Mixto de Verduras [platter of mixed vegie deliciousness], 1 person had the Plato de Pescado a la Parilla [platter of mixed seafood deliciousness], and another had the Antipasto platter. They were all absolutely massive, so you get definite value for money at this place. The two people that came later on got individual tapas plates, I think one of them got some Jamon Iberico, which I really regret not trying.
I had the Tapas Banquet, and the standouts for me were the Chorizo con Vino and the potato Tortilla. The chorizo was smoky and soaked with wine - it completely disintegrated as soon as I put it in my mouth. Delicious! The potato tortilla was soft and light, and really, really tasty. The only negative I can give on the banquets was that there was just too much food. The plates came staggered, which gave us a good chance to try and digest the previous courses, and it came with extra breads and salads - which we certainly didn't need. I've just noticed that the menu is slightly different on the website - there's now one dish less in the Tapas Banquet, and most of the banquets are now under $40.

I was really impressed with the service, and the all the food was spectactular. I think we ended up making our way through about 7 bottles of sangria, and close to 12 beers, so we were a very happy group. The bill ended up being roughly $45-60 a person, but none of us were able to eat dinner last night ^_^
I'm already planning the next trip there, and I know exactly what I want to get - it's good for larger groups, but I'd love to go back for a smaller, boozy lunch with the girls.

Quite disappointing experience. Very pricey for the food and they came very slow, accompanied with a very cold, unfriendly service from the wait staffs. Certainly not worth my money.
