    After a hard afternoon drinking at the gym and watching other people do physical challenges (yes you read that right) I thought it was important for me to stock up on my calories and where better to go that the chorizo and tapas wonderland that is cubatas. This place is really nice inside and the staff are very welcoming. I am not a huge fan of tapas normally but I really liked this place. I was dining with six other people and we decide to share a variety of dishes, some were amazing, some were just good, but everything was nice. Favourite dishes. Spanish sausage rolls - pastry and chorizo. Awesome! Divine deep fried cheese. Amazing garlic prawns. Delicious Moroccan kebabs. Great cheesy nachos. Brilliant patatas bravas. The list goes on and on and on. Just about everything was amazing. The only thing that was slightly blander than I expected was the paella, but I would certainly give it another try. To finish we ended with a sharing platter of 6 desserts. Out of the six I loved 5. Cream brûlée, honey cake, cheese cake, Tiramisu and one I can't remember now. :-s - the only one I was not so keen on was the walnut cake. What a great meal. Indulgent and rich food that would in my opinion wow any diner. A real well deserved 4 stars. I will be back!

    Cookies and cream cake

    I booked a good week in advance as I wasn't sure how busy this place got, apparently on Monday and Tuesday nights, unless there is something on at the Hydro, they are very quiet!! We got there at 5:30pm and were the only customers until about 7pm. Which was perfect for me. I don't like loud places, and the less people the better, especially when I haven't seen my friend since end of 2015!! Lots of talking to be done. The waitress was lovely and friendly yet kept her distance, which was ideal. A bottle of lemon water, olives and bread were provided while we made our order. I had a beautiful Syriah red wine....three glasses of it! For food I ordered the salmon and potato bravas, which came with a delicate honey mustard sauce and tiny hard boiled quail eggs. Chilli Prawns in a mini frying pan arrived along with some fried cheese (halloumi) and blueberry jam. I cleared my plates which is something quite unusual for me. I couldn't really fault any of the tapas dishes. The salmon was particularly special, and the blueberry cheese was very interesting. The food was that good and the atmosphere so relaxing we even when for desert. I opted for the special of the day which was a cookies and cream cake which just melted in my mouth. Very tasty! We didn't feel rushed in the slightest. We stayed a good hour or so after finishing our meal just drinking more wine and talking, even after everyone else had left. We got picked up just before 10pm which is the longest I think I've stayed in a single restaurant. I loved the earthy decor of dark woods and olive greens. It was trendy without being tastelessly so. I will definitely be heading back :)

    Berenjena al Horno - really delicious dish of grilled aubergine topped with goats cheese, tomato & basil.

    I paid my first visit to Cubatas last night with the lovely Briony and Susan F, after much praise from Pammi G. The interior was really comfortable, and nicely decorated. As for the menu, there was plenty to choose from... We decided to order the Tradicional Set Menu between the 3 of us which had a great variety of classic tapas dishes to savour. My favourites were Paella Valenciana (delicious paella with sautéed chicken and vegetables), the Chorizo Frito En Jeréz (Chorizo in Sherry), the Pinchos Muranos (chicken kebabs marinated in Moroccan spice), and the Patatas Bravas, which were DEE-LICIOUS - super crunchy golden roasted potatoes served with aioli and salsa brava. I wasn't a huge fan of the salad which came with the set menu - in theory I would have loved it... salad leaves with goats cheese, walnuts and a honey & orange vinaigrette sounds delicious, but I found the salad leaves a bit limp and soggy. Would have been so much better with some fresh crispy salad leaves! We also ordered a couple of extra dishes... I would definitely recommend the Berenjena al Horno (grilled aubergine with goats cheese, tomato & basil), really delicious dish! The Patatas al Gratén (potatoes cooked in the oven with white sauce and cheese) was ok, though to be honest I would go for another helping of Patatas Bravas to share next time over this dish. I was a little disappointed that there were no Pimientos de Padron on the menu, as this is my most favourite tapas dish to order! The restaurant itself was very quiet, but it was a Monday night. I really do hope they are busier the rest of the week, as this was a lovely tapas restaurant that I would be sure to visit again... especially if they add Pimientos de Padron to the menu! :)

    Crispy chicken (gluten free!)

    I've eaten at the restaurant once and had takeaway (via Deliveroo) once. My favorite is the crispy chicken, which is gluten free and comes with three different tasty sauces. Other dishes we liked were patatas bravas and a spinach dish. Not gluten free but a fave of my vegetarian friends was the eggplant dish. A few of their dishes are a miss; skip the peppers with cheese. Service in the restaurant was also a bit of a miss for me; after asking for the gluteny sauce that comes with the patatas on the side, it was delivered with sauce poured over the potatoes. They quickly remade it but still! I had to go find someone to get the bill at the end of our meal, too. Definitely not a bad place, with lots of tasty dishes. They do clearly label gluten free and vegetarian dishes, so that's very helpful. I'm likely to try it again.

    I love a review update especially when I get to give that luscious fifth star to such an awesome business. I've been to Cubatas many times now, and tried a lot of different dishes. Before I recommend certain ones, I will say the set menu is an awesome option if you're not sure what to get - you get 10 dishes (which serves about 3 people, or two really hungry people) for £37.95 which is great value. The have a meat and veggie option, and the veggie option can be adapted to have some dishes as vegan if needed. Ok, onto my favourite dishes: - Almendras fritas are fried almond with herbs. You'll end up fighting over these, they are just SO good. Really delicious and addictive. Don't blame me if you scoff the whole bowl. We've all done it. - Croquettes. Ok, I'll admit - I love croquettes anyway but these ones are amazing. Chicken and ham filling and they are perfectly cooked like little nuggets of heaven. - Paella. To be honest, I would rarely order this at a Spanish restaurant as I think most places don't do it justice. Cubatas really do and I think it's one of their specialities. I've tried nearly every version they have (vegetable, chicken, black rice and seafood) and they have all been amazing. Of course this dish will take a little while so be patient. - Queso frito. Fried cheese with marmalade. Again, a dish you'll be fighting over! The marmalade is essential to cut through the fried cheese and it just works perfectly. I've tried a lot more than these dishes but for now, these are the ones that really stand out in my mind. Cubatas do change the menu from time to time so there are always some special dishes on to try. The staff are all super helpful and friendly, so they can recommend something if you really aren't sure. (Note: they now do delivery via Deliveroo, and I believe you can contact them directly for takeaway/collection orders)

    Took a couple of friends here for dinner last night much to their delight. Happy to share this little hidden gem with fellow tapas lovers. Staff were lovely as always, food was quick from ordering to arrival and tasted fantastic. Definitely one to visit.

    Mixed Spanish Meats

    Being the poor student that I am, I'm always looking out for pocket friendly deals for top quality food. So naturally, when I seen an Itison deal for 5 tapas at Cubatas for £12 I jumped right on it. I'd heard good things about Cubatas and couldn't wait to try for myself. When we arrived at Cubatas, we advised that we were using our voucher and the staff were more than happy to accommodate this. It seemed to be the night for them as we heard many other customers using theirs as well - obviously a popular deal! As fans of La Tasca (we get to use our Taste Card there!), we are familiar with most tapas dishes. However the menu at Cubatas seemed really authentic and included many options that we haven't seen elsewhere. We were told that the deal we'd bought actually equated to £24 worth of tapas, and if we selected the cheaper options we could actually end up with 6 or 7 - which is a great feed for £12 for 2 people. We just selected out 5 and opted to choose another one over and above our voucher. We started with the selection of Spanish Meats. Quite often when you use a voucher code, the restaurant will serve smaller portions given that you haven't paid full price. Not here! We got a huge selection of meats for 2 people and they were absolutely delicious. The Iberico and Salami were cut slightly unevenly which led me to think it was probably hand cut, adding even more to the authenticity of this place. Delicious. The rest of our Tapas selection came out together and we hungrily dug in. The Ham and Chicken croquettes were lovely and came with a little creamy herb dip. To be honest they didn't have much (if any) chicken or ham in them, but still tasted gorgeous. Next were the Meatballs. They were huge and meaty, in a spicy tomato sauce. We really enjoyed them. All the dishes seemed to come in threes though which meant we were fighting over them! The little Patatas Bravas were like the crispiest small roast potatoes and were so moreish! They came with three different dips. One Garlic Aioli (which I heard the waitress mention was made fresh daily), a spicy tomato dip and a red-pesto type dip. Each one was delicious and went perfectly with the potatoes. The prawns had such cute presentation, in a little mini frying pan. They were served in a chilli and garlic oil and were absolutely huge! They were so juicy and cooked perfectly. Finally we had the Chicken Paella. Served in a steaming bowl it was absolutely perfect. It was sticky and flavoursome and I could have eaten the full portion to myself. Served with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the top it was filled with chicken, mange tout and butterbeans. I would definitely recommend this to anyone planning a visit. We had originally planned to skip dessert and head over to the newly opened Jelly Bear. However, when the Waitress declared that all the desserts were made in-house, we knew we had to try them. I decided on the Cinnamon Pudding Cake and Martyn with the Chocolate Tart. The chocolate cake was so light and soft, yet so rich with the bitter dark chocolate sauce on top. The presentation was beautiful and inviting, but it was a huge wedge and was impossible to finish. The Cinnamon Pudding Cake was more like a spongy mousse in texture, and was topped with a delicious caramel syrup. If you like cinnamon this is the dessert for you! It was so addictive and finished the meal off beautifully. The Itison deal for this feast was fantastic value, and even though we paid over and above the voucher I would jump at the chance to buy it again. Even if we had chosen the 5 tapas alone, we would still have left completely satisfied. The food is authentic Spanish and it truly shows in the flavours and presentation. We're already planning our next visit!

It goes well with the diverse choices that should keep everyone happy. Croquettes are sharable but that didn't stop me from eating them all. You get a variety but notice: the chicken ones remain hot! The lamb was tasty and sides filling. A couple drafts later I'm waddling out satisfied. It's a nice alternative to the Argyle area dining scene, and I'll hope to return and try much more.

We'd recently returned from a short break in Malaga and were pining for some Spanish ambience, so I was very pleased to discover Elena's, even more so when we spotted the Paella de Marisco (seafood paella) - I'll be having half of that, yes please! They have a pretty good wine list too, and we soon settled on a nice fragrant Alberino, which was a pefect accompaniment to the seafood. The table was soon very cluttered with dishes, wine cooler and glasses, but we managed. I'm afraid I forgot to take any pictures of the food, it was too yummy not to get stuck in. For dessert, I couldn't resist the chocolate brownie, although I opted for coconut ice cream instead of the lemon. I probably shouldn't have had either given my lactose intolerance, but sometimes you have to be prepared to suffer. It did almost finish me off, it was so chocolatey, but wow, it was worth it. I'm only giving four stars as I thought the service was a little lacklustre in places. They didn't offer to pour or let us taste the wine, didn't provide a finger bowl or any wipes for the sticky fingers, and - more importantly - didn't tell us about the menu specials when we were ordering. We only found out about those when I spotted the specials board on the way out. I don't know if it would have made much difference actually, as we were pretty committed to the paella before we arrived, but it would have been nice to have had the choice. Annnd.... I've just spotted that they have Caipirinhas on the cocktail menu - now I'll definitely have to go back!

He'd been before but I had never. We very much enjoy tapas and wine, so it made sense. The decor was fun and colorful. The outside looks a bit unassuming, and I honestly can't say I would have known to go in if it weren't for my date, but it was well worth it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it felts so cramped at our table. It's tapas, so of course we ordered more than one plate each of food, however our table was so cramped that we could barely fit all the tapas we ordered, comfortably, with water glasses AND wine glasses. Even a party of 2, it might help to seat at a larger table if at all possible. We did order a LOT of things, and shared a bottle of red wine. The food and drink were delicious, that is for sure. I can't speak to the price, because I just don't know the cost of living/comparison of value/cost in Glasgow (I live in the US) - but I would certainly be back.

He showed us the menu and told us what he'd have. We ended up going for three tapas dishes each for £12.95. We opted for the Bravas, Chorizo, Mussels, Squid, Chicken Wings and Prawn Paella. The food all came out when it was ready, which I like. This gave us a chance to admire each individual dish. The stand outs for me were the Mussels and the Chorizo. The Mussels swam in a rich buttery sauce that could easily be served as soup. The Chorizo was obviously authentic and bursting with flavour, I could have eaten it all day, but my cholesterol would have been through the roof. The place was quiet but it still had a good atmosphere, the waiter sat us next to the window and we were bathed in the rarely seen Glasgow sun for the whole meal - it was a really nice experience overall. I loved that fact that even though it was quiet the staff kept themselves busy by cleaning - that's what you want to see! Easy four stars for me, so close to being five!

    This place has been open for a little under a year and I finally found an excuse to visit last…read morenight to try it out. It's a lot smaller than I expected - there's a seating area at the front which could fit around 20 diners. But the food is out-of-this world good, which is what really matters. I was meeting a friend here and the owner let me sit at a large table of 4 rather than a tiny table for two, which was nice. You can pop along to the shop and buy your booze to bring - wine corkage is £3 and I think beers are £1. As I was driving I was happy with soft drinks anyway, but it's handy to know for future visits. There's pretty standard offerings on the menu - the usual tapas selection you'd expect, plus paella and some larger dishes. The owner himself is from Madrid and we took his guidance when ordering - a paella to share and three tapas between two. We got the seafood paella with prawn, mussels, fish and squid (£8.95), patatas bravas (£4.50), mushrooms sauteed in garlic (£4.95) and goats cheese salad with chili and rocket (£5.25). The food arrived quickly and as it was ready rather than in any order. At first glance it looks pretty standard but the flavour was immense - the mushrooms in garlic were so flavoursome and delicious, and I loved that there was crunchy slices of garlic at the bottom of the dish to add even more flavour. The goats cheese salad was a whole circle of cheese baked in the dish so it was nice and oozy, and a good amount of chili to give it a kick. The paella was the real stand out dish - a massive portion which easily did two people and a nice amount of seafood mixed through it. There was one large prawn in it too which was easy to split up between us, and overall I thought this was a really tasty dish which I'd head back here just to have. The patatas bravas arrived last and while this is a pretty token Spanish dish, I really enjoyed it and the potatoes were the right amount of crispy. There was nothing I could fault about the food here, and with the bill coming in at just over £25 for dinner for two, it was crazy cheap too. The decor is really casual - think more of a cafe than a classy restaurant, and service is relaxed and friendly. They have some really good lunch deals like £6.50 paella sit-in, they also do takeaway and outside catering. Take yourself on an adventure and head here for a meal - it was an absolute delight.

We had Ponchos De Ronda which was a kind of chicken breast on a skewer with spicy tomato sauce and chilli. That was wonderful and was grilled to perfection. We also had patatas bravas covered in spicy tomato sauce and albondigas which are meatballs covered on tomato sauce. The tapas were amazing and full of flavour- better than some tapas I've had in Spain. We had the Paella Montaña which had chicken and Chorizo which was flavoursome and tasty- the Chorizo was smoky and very tasty! After food, we had coffee which was excellent. If the owner (who is a bit of a hero, he takes the orders, makes them and then brings them to you whilst simultaneously cooking orders for home deliveries). It was quite quiet, the restaurant is more like a cafe, but that makes it all the more authentic. The bill was reasonable for what was essentially a three course meal for two people. There is no alcohol but you can go to one of the nearby shops and get some wine or beer. Rather than going to La Tasca or Cafe Andaluz, go here.

We were a party of 8; to be fair it was Friday night, but we had booked. On arrival, we were told that we could have the pre-theatre special, choosing three tapas plus a dessert from the menu for £16.95 (which seemed reasonable). The food was all excellent - no complaints there. The service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy. It wasn't until we were divvying up the bill that we noticed all these 'supplementary' items on the bill, which on closer inspection were tapas dishes that we'd thought were included in the deal. On asking our server about this, he tried to claim that these dishes were from the a la carte menu and not the pre-theatre one, which he proceeded to demonstrate by producing the (much smaller) pre-theatre menu. The problem was, we had not been given that menu when we arrived and this was the first time any of us had seen it. He initially refused to accept this and became quite assertive that we had been mistaken. It took quite a bit of explaining, and voices were getting raised, before the server accepted that the mistake was possibly on their side. He went off to phone somebody above his pay grade (presumably at the other branch), and eventually came back to apologise, with the bill reduced to the proper price. Needless to say, we were not particularly impressed with the attitude and did not stay for the extra drink that we had been considering. So - food very nice, staff attitude needs some adjusting. Two stars only.

The decor is weird, I've no idea what Spanish style books they'd consulted, but it was nothing like anywhere I'd ever seen in Spain.

When I arrived it was just a little before 7 on a sunny evening, but tellingly there was only one person in the restaurant. The staff at first seemed disinterested, but seemed to perk up after a while. After ordering a glass of the house white, which was good, I looked over the menu and saw a lot of familiar dishes. I was a little bothered by the inclusion of houmous on the menu, it's not Spanish, not Moorish, not needed. Anyway I went for 2 of my Spanish favourites, goat's cheese, aubergine fritters & rolled the dice on the third choice of pan Catalan. The cheese was served on top of caramelised onions & was garnished with (a lot of) rocket. The cheese was soft, both in texture and taste, just the way it should be, but the onions were really tangy (sauce?) & the taste was strong, especially when served with the rocket. The aubergine fritters were crunchy & a bit overcooked. They weren't served dressed with honey, instead I got a comically large pot of honey set on the table to spoon it on myself. I honestly felt a little like Winnie the Pooh & was tempted to just stick my whole hand in. The pan Catalan was really just two slices of cut french loaf with tomato paste & little garlic chunks. I'd give the experience two, two and a half stars, but I enjoyed the wine, the staff warmed up by the end and I have to give the place the benefit of the doubt / food snob bonus points. I think I'd be happy to sit in with a glass of wine or a bottle (or ten) of Cruzcampo (yaaaas!) if not go back for the food. One of the benefits of it being quiet is that you could go in for a glass of wine & a chat (or read) without it getting too loud.
