This place was super cute, spacious, and played some good music that paired well with the atmosphere and theme of the restaurant. The servers were very kind and knowledgeable of the menu as well. We started off with a meat platter, chargrilled bread with tomatoes along with two delicious cocktails. For our tapas we ordered the *Patatas Fritas *Crispy Pork Belly *Grilled Salmon Filet (the only dish I wasn't super crazy about) *Alitas De Pollo *Croquetas De Bacalao *Chuletas De Cordero Even after all this, there is always room for a little treat! There's no way we could leave here without ordering churros, and I'm so glad we did!! We also added a bonus sangria , because why not? This is one of my many places I will revisit when I return to London. Highly recommend. More details/descriptions in my pics :)

The kitchen staff really know their stuff, producing classics with flair. Presentation is great - all their dishes look so appealing and sophisticated. The cocktail menu is excellent and worth popping in for alone, or paired with a snack at the bar. I'd recommend booking on weekends as it gets really busy and altho' the restaurant has just recently expanded in size, it is still buzzing with clientele. It's difficult to say what is best, but I love their rosemary manchego with quince jelly. The fish, meatballs, jambon, squid, aubergine, ah... so many fantastic dishes. Try everything ! you can't go wrong. .... visiting a month later, and I'd just add that the paella and squid-ink risotto were superb on Saturday night.

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

First chance to check out this relatively new local venue in…read moremy local village and it was a huge hit. Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem. We'll be back

The slight variations of the traditional tapas dishes such as spices and oils used certainly compliment the different tastes and offer an alternative to traditional tapas for those a bit more adventurous or wanting something a bit different. To drink there are the usual choices of spanish beers as well as a full bar and the restaurants many wines and house cocktails. A few Japanese Mojitos go down too easily with the many dishes you'll be getting through. The Pincho Morunos, aka pinchitos, are Spanish pork skewers which come from Southern Spain that are a particular favourite of mine. The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and in the evening is low lit for a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Perfect for a date venue! Service is excellent as the staff are very attentive and are happy to make recommendations if you're not sure about the menu. It can be pricey but seems reasonable for the high standard of everything involved. This fantastic tapas restaurant is appropriately named The Fat Bull as that is exactly how you feel when leaving here after all the great food on offer!

We went for an impromptu lunch and had a great experience…read more Food was overall solid, but a few had some twists. Prawns in garlic and chilli oil was very good, but spicier than your average version (in a good way). Potatoes came out also more flavourful than your average version. Sliced octopus came on a bed of guacamole rather than potatoes which was an interesting interpretation. Duck breast was good, but I felt could have been served in bigger portions. Service was very good and prompt. Granted, it was not very crowded when we went but nonetheless, we appreciated the servers' attention and willingness to help. Lastly, ambience was good. More upscale than what you'd expect in the vicinity and good for dates or occasions.

What a gem of restaurant!!…read more My salsa friend Hilary has been helping me in my Yelp quest to find new places to eat before salsa on Friday evenings. We have fairly much eaten out Epsom and Ewell and are having to travel further afield to find new restaurants It was thanks to that policy that we uncovered El Rincon at Tattenham Corner. First bonus mark was when we arrived 20 minutes before they opened and the owner welcomed us in and said they would open the kitchens early as we had to get to salsa From conversing with the owner, we found out that El Rincon has been there for 17 years and their chef is authentically Spanish. He was able to make some recommendations between the main menu and the tapas menu. Being piggy, ooops I mean, in trying to get some energy for the some energetic salsa to come, we opted for paella as well as 2 tapas dishes. Second bonus mark was a complementary bowl of manzanilla olives, which had a wonderful mild and sweet/nutty flavour. No over-salty cheap olives here and the owner gave us a bowl of free ones purely because he was proud of them and wanted us to sample them. Some lovely white and brown bread also appeared on the table at the same time Hilary chose probably the best dish of the evening - mejillones, mussels cooked in Pernod, cream and tarragon with walnuts. The mussels were nice and plump and the sauce divine with the tarragon lending just enough aniseed flavour to bring the whole dish together. The bread was heavenly when dipped in the sauce We also had albondigas (meatballs) in tomato sauce. Nice but we would have enjoyed a little more kick to it. Then the paella arrived, cooked in a proper paella pan and having taken an appropriate amount of time to cook for us to know that it was cooked fresh. The waiter brought it out on a trolley and dished it onto our plates The sign of a good paella is meant to be the soccarat (means lightly toasted in Catalan) , the golden brown crust on the bottom of the pan and you need a proper paella pan to produce it. Well, there was soccarat; there was chicken, shellfish and saffron-infused rice cooked to al dente perfection. Perfect paella Time and 2 full tummies meant that we couldn't indulge in dessert tonight but as we said on leaving tonight,"Hasta luego!" (See you soon!) Best Spanish food and service in town

So while pug sitting for my best friend recently, I gave Don Pepe a shot. In short, I really liked it! I hasten to add that it is not quite as good as the dearly departed Toresano, but if you want quality tapas at a reasonable price, look no further than Don Pepe. The house red was pretty good. The chicken with garlic was excellent. The gambas ajillo was excellent but a fairly small portion. The calamari was great. The service was lovely and gave off a 'family' vibe. All in all, I was won over and I shall look forward to returning to Don Pepe very soon!

It has a family run feel to it and our waiter was very attentive all evening long despite being very busy. The establishment is nothing fancy and its location is suitable if you don't live far from this area however it is the food that will bring you to this place! They have an ample menu of authentic dishes whether it be from the tapas selection or the mains. I highly recommend the octopus and the monkfish stew which were wonderfully prepared not to mention the amazing taste. I was shocked when the monkfish arrived served in a paella style pan with all the condiments...it was huge and all for me!! The menu has a good balance between seafood, fish and meat dishes to cater for most palates. Good selection of wines from the region too, and all very well priced, especially considering the quantities! You will not leave hungry. A more convenient location would be preferred but that depends on where you are based. Don't expect plush central london style, this place is more of the traditional sort run by lovely people, a good menu, great tasting food, a wonderful Galician experience.
