There were about ten small plates with the set menu. What I can remember: chorizo in white wine sauce chicken in a creamy tomato sauce green olives and bread with garlic mayo cheese and ham plate whitefish croquettes beef stew chili prawns pork loin in creamy mushroom sauce bacon-wrapped dates The plates seemed to be hit and miss. Some were really great (the bacon-wrapped dates), some werent (they didnt cook out all the alcohol from the white wine chorizo). Would be much better if they could get consistent on all the dishes, but was good enough. Service was ok. Nice atmosphere.

We were squeezed into what looked like the last remaining table outside, which had the added bonus of being close to the Morris dancers who were performing in the street next to us. Or maybe Morris dancing is not your thing? Anyway, despite being really busy, the service was good, as was the menu. They coped with everyone's dietary peculiarities and we didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive. Everything was very tasty and seemed quite reasonable when we got the bill. I'm not usually a big fan of tapas-style food as I prefer a main dish, but I can't complain about this place as there was certainly enough grub to keep us all happy.

I particularly like the sign that they have hung up on the wall that reads: This bar is dedicated to those merry souls who make drinking a pleasure, who reach contentment before capacity and whatever they drink, can take it, hold it, and remain ladies and gentlemen.

AMAZING!!! Where do…read moreI start. Love Spain and all Spanish food. There are a few choices in the area decided to give Tapas Revolution a try. Staff were great, happy to chat about the culture of the food (if you want to) and happy to teach some basic Spanish if you are up for the challenge. The food, well it was amazing. The choices were great, a real cross selection they also did a black rice paella (died with squid ink) only seen that in Valencia so was great to try. Taste wise everything was spot on, Spanish food cooked in a traditional way. Could have easily have been in a decent place in Spain. Price was great, even got a card for 50% off via a postcard for them to post to a friend/family member. (Or You was even allowed) Over all I honestly don't have a bad or passive word to say about the place, food, staff or prices. One of my first suggestions when people ask about anywhere to eat.

El Coto is located on Leazes Park Rd in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, a short walk away from Eldon Square. I…read morevisited here for lunch to take advantage of their tapas offer. I was disappointed with my experience overall, arriving back home from Barcelona just a couple of weeks ago, I truly felt like I had crash-landed back in the UK. The interior was freaky and strange - I entered through what looked like an old abandoned pub on a side street, you have to walk through an abandoned bar area to get through to the main restaurant area, through a very narrow corridor - it just felt bizarre, and I didn't know if I was heading to my death or walking into an abandoned building. There is also a very loud doorbell - which I presume alerts the staff members when someone walks in because of this, it just seems so uncomfortable to be going around the restaurant, too. The menu is extensive and has a wide range of dishes; I liked how they had common allergens labelled on their menu, including the dishes that could be gluten and dairy-free. The menu did seem larger than other tapas locations I've visited, and this could be part of the problem - they surely can't do every dish well. I also found the menu to be vastly complicated for a tapas bar... I ended up going for three tapas dishes to make up the offer - the tapas paella, chorizo cooked in wine and Patatas bravas. It certainly tasted authentic either; the chorizo was partially cold, and perhaps only half of it was warm, it lacked flavour and the red colour one would usually associate with chorizo. The potatoes looked anaemic; they also didn't taste of anything, and it was the first time I'd ever been served them without the Aioli. The paella, which is the dish I was most looking forward to, was almost inedible, the rice was clumped together, and the chicken was tough, it tasted like it just wasn't fresh and perhaps had been prepared a day or two before, it was reheated for sure. The staff member who served me seemed disinterested, and it always seemed her mind was somewhere else when she was serving our table. I've really tried to cut down on handing out one-star reviews lately, as I'm trying to see positives in a business but I'm truly struggling here unfortunately. 1*

Great food, stunning location, and an even better price!…read more We visited this establishment on our staff night out, and it was well worth it! We found out about it using the free StreetAway app, and managed to get 34% off 3 Tapas and 2 Drinks! The location, as I previously touched on, is absolutely stunning, and is a real hidden gem. It's nestled right on the River Tyne, next to the Swing Bridge, and we went at night, meaning it was a fantastic sight to see the lights of Newcastle. As for the food itself, I couldn't have asked for more. I'm normally a picky eater, so was very apprehensive about actually eating here. However, I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised (who'd have thought Squid would taste so good!). I would definitely come here again, whether it be for a meal with friends, a date, or another work night out. Great stuff!

With that said, the vegetable side dish was fresh and steamed just right, but too bland for me.

The fried rice was overly healthy for being "fried". While it's not traditional, i suggest fry with butter and oil and add some color and flavor: diced red bell pepper, a little corn, grated carrot, green onion, and a pinch of cilantro wouldn't hurt at the end,.
