Food overall was delicious & very affordable - the only dish which didn't hit the spot was the Pulpo a la Gallega - which is one of my favourite tapas dishes ordinarily. However some of the food combinations were really inventive and worked fantastically well. We were lucky to try the crispy aubergine with spiced honey which was absolutely delicious. Also the Succling Pork is a must - it fuses different flavours, textures & temperatures and it works perfectly! Service was really fast and attentive so top marks there. I'd say a must try if you love Spanish tapas.

On this occasion we had the strawberries and cream which was perfection and only £5. Can't get much happier than that.

Hey initially brought a drinks menu to us when we are waiting in the queue but they didn't come to take our order until we got our table so I don't see the point. We ordered a wine and a beer. Wine tasted worse than most wine we have in other restaurants and the beer is with a thick foam and small glass.. The food is alright but with the service and portion, I didn't think we get our money's worth.

I will say that the app - City Mapper - is worth installing on your phone. Oh, but when you're travelling out of the US, you don't want to pay the high roaming charges. Then I say, go to the "airalo" website and see if what they offer might meet your needs, and if it does, install it too. Most newer phones allow you to install electronic SIMs. If you follow the instructions very carefully, you can set your phone up to use this second line for local data access and that will allow City Mapper to run for you while you roam around. I know that I'm sounding like a commercial but that's how much I liked using the app. While I didn't always know which direction I was facing, by watching the app as I moved, I could see if I was heading toward or away from my target. Okay, back to Jose. We walked by this place several times, both during the day and at night. They always had guests, especially at night when the crowd seemed to spill out of the restaurant to the outside tables and surrounding area. People looked happy as they indulged in their food and wine. We stopped once and read the menu. It's quite small and written on a chalkboard. It looks like every now and then, they erase something and write something else up. Having been to Barcelona, we weren't particularly impressed with the menu and didn't plan on dining there. Until I read the reviews. And looked at their website and learned about Jose Pizzaro, chef, owner of six restaurants in London and one in Abu Dhabi, author of six cookbooks, a regular on BBC cooking shows AND that the Tapas Bar Jose is mentioned as a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide. Service was wonderful. It was cool watching Chef prepare our food. The Pan con Tomate was so simple and yet so delicious. A slice of bread, toasted, rubbed with garlic, rubbed roughly with a ripe tomato, slightly salted and drizzled with olive oil. I could eat that every single day and LOSE WEIGHT. The Bermondsey Bomba was like a giant Porto Bakery (forgive me Jose) Potato Ball with more meat in a spicy sauce placed on top of a bed of aioli with a dollop of seasoned tomato paste on top. I could eat these every single day and GAIN WEIGHT. The Boquerones were heavenly. The Clams with Garlic and Parsley, devine. And the Patatas Bravas...come on man, they're just potatoes! Crispy on the outside, soft and warming on the inside. Once again, the aioli and seasoned tomato paste just brings it all together. Service was warm and friendly. They were kind enough to let us order in rounds so we could gauge how much to order. Honestly, we had five dishes and were stuffed. Pictures to follow.

I loved the atmosphere of this place. It really felt like you were in a busy urban, vibing restaurant, just the kind of atmosphere I love the most. I hate dead beat places with no energy. When the actual dishes arrived, you can imagine, we were pretty excited. There was an array of spicy dishes of offer, meat, fish and something for veggies too. My brother ordered a chicken dish but the chicken was a little underdone, which was disappointing. Actually, overall, the food was slightly under par. Not to say it's awful, just didn't live up to the standards / expectations from what we had felt from sitting in the restaurant. This isn't the worst place in the world but I've had much better tapas meals elsewhere in London...

The Donostia Social Club, hidden in the POP Brixton Container complex, is a lovely homely little venue that serves great tapas (although definitely not at the prices you'll get in Spain), that is pretty authentic - even down to the little squat bread sticks you get with everything in Spain. It's a very intimate restaurant, although there is limited outdoor seating if you're claustrophobic, but I love what they've done with the place. The white tile wall reminds me of restaurants I've visited in Spain, although the tiles are much bigger, so it's an interesting English take on this. The Patatas Bravas are particularly lovely and come with salt flakes, chilli and tomato sauce. The meat platter is nice, (It was okay for the UK, but nothing like the standard you'd get in Spain) but the bread is a little too thick cut, it really needs to be thinner, it's hard to take a bite, so I'd suggest if you order this you ask for them to thinly cut this. Absolutely yummy!

This tapas place has a little upstairs outdoor seating (lovely for a summers day however when I was there it was waaaaay too cold) which provides a great view of the rest of Pop Brixton down below as well as inside where there is long wooden bar with stools where you are seated and served from behind the bar. The place has a cool vibe and an amazing looking menu! I only tried a taster given our during an event - a huge creamy wedge of goats cheese, a little leaf with a strawberry and balsamic glaze on top - which was really really good and will mean I definitely return for a proper meal. The menu ranges from £3.50 (for a scallop) to £7.50 (lamb rump) and everything sounds incredible. What a great find!
