Tasty food
A great tapas restaurant with cozy vibes in the neighbourhood. One of the very few restaurants with an elaborate vegetarian menu, virtually every non veg item has a vegetarian counterpart. Tried the quesadillas and the manchego croquettas - absolutely delish. The veg paella could have been better. Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.
A must-visit in Co. Kildare! Warm welcome, amazing Spanish flavours, and great value. The Early Bird menu (17:00–19:00) is excellent — high-quality dishes with no compromise despite the price. Booking is essential as it’s always busy. Can get noisy when full, but perfect for a lively gathering with friends!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Visited this restaurant for the first time last night after hearing great things, so expectations were fairly high. The evening started well: we ordered the Mexican sharing tapas as a starter, and it was actually pretty good — generous portion for two people and a nice mix of flavours.
Unfortunately, the mains were a different story. I went for the Desperado Burger and it was a real let‑down. The patty was extremely dry, tough, and almost no flavour to it at all — more like chewing a shoe than a burger. Definitely not what I expected from a place with such a strong reputation.
To finish, we ordered coffee and dessert… but the dessert never arrived. No one came back to the table, and after waiting quite a while we eventually had to go find a member of staff ourselves, at this stage we just wanted the bill as it was late. When the bill came, the missing dessert was still on it, so we had to get that corrected too.
Overall, the food and service just didn’t match the positive things we’d heard. The starter showed potential, but the main course and the service issues really dragged the experience down. This place is supposed to be very good, so hopefully this was just an off night — but they definitely need to try harder
