I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and found the service very efficient without feeling rushed. It was surprisingly quiet, so we forgot about the world around and were able to concentrate on the delicious food. The dishes are in the range of about £3.50 - £5.50 each and they're usually split into 2-3 bits, so can be shared if necessary. I recommend getting bread as well - it's great for soaking up sauces and is nice, soft ciabatta style with tomato sauce to dip it in. Particularly recommended: - deep-fried chicken soaked in garlic - not at all greasy and very tasty - potato with layers of goats cheese, ham and tomato - prawns with scrambled egg and asparagus (much, much taster than it sounds!) The sangria comes with a good amount of fruit in it and at £3 a glass is cheap and plenty enough to last a meal (if you can resist another one, anyway!). All in all a really nice place if you're into tapas and a great introduction if you've never tried it.

My favourites are the selection of cheese, the garlic prawns and the little ham croquettes. Try a jug of sangria with it - it's very well done here and compliments the food greatly. This is a lovely place, decorated in a way inkeeping with the food and very private. The tables are well spaced, so you don't feel cramped or overheard. I like this place for dates or for a meal with a good mate. Always busy, so best to book it unless you've got time to have a drink at the bar first (which is no bad thing here). Go for a great, relaxed meal on one of Oxford's loveliest streets.

Service is also good, if I had a criticism last night it was just a bit TOO quick - a bit more space between courses would have been welcome. Some may feel it a bit expensive - our bill for three three course meals with a bottle of wine and coffee was £110 ( no pre drinks) but I still feel it's worth it. Edit, Saturday 12th March 2011. The three of us visited again, and again the food was of the highest quality. The head chef had just returned from working as a sous chef with a 2 star Michelin Chef, so a couple of dishes he had brought with him from there. One of these was my chosen starters, a 'timbale' containing lobster, crab, avocado, mushrooms etc, and was one of the best starters I have had in a while, but expensive at £11 ! In my earlier review I said the service was a bit quick, but this time we were served at a leisurely pace. Oddly we found they don't take bookings at 7.30, you have to have 7 or 8. The bill was bigger than last time, so it getting a bit on the expensive side now - with gratuities £140. But I still would recommend it, and its under 5 mins walk from my daughters -she and I had birthdays the following day

Been raised by an Italian, I always go for a dish with a red sauce (which should tell right away the quality), as well as if they have "real" Italian sausage, which they do get from a local butcher. I was completely satisfied with my choices of a penne pasta with Italian sassuage as well as the crispy calimari starter. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try something other than the usual Fish & Chips!

Hummus, meatballs, shrimp, tempura are examples of 20 or so choices. You can order any number of dishes, each od which is large snack size. We ordered meatballs, vegetable tempura, honey spiced chicken wings, olives and spice rubbed chips. Each dish was as tasty as the other. Service was wonderful, immediate and very friendly. But we went in at 2pm on Saturday, so the place was very quiet, which meant the staff were not busy at the time. Nice food, fun and lovely service. Reasonable price (£30 for the meal, which included one large glass of wine). Highly recommend.

Between 4 of us we ordered 14 dishes including roast tomatoes with halloumi, chorizo with goats cheese, lambs kidney toasts, cider braised pigs cheeks, plaice goujons with lemon mayo, mexican wrap, roasted vegetable kebabs. Prices range from £2.75 to £3.95 per dish and everything was well-cooked and very tasty. It's a great concept and if you've ever read a menu and wanted more than 1 thing on it or just wanted a whole bunch of starters, - you'll love this.

You might think of tapas as tiny little assortments on a plate, but here you get proper portions. I left very full. Not too far off from how it's done in Spain.
