"We got late Groupon deal (and babysitter)for the good ladies birthday. £34 for a sharing platter 2 including bread, cheese, meats and olives. This was followed by a shared potato gratas and 5 choices from the tapas menu. As is standard some of the items have a supplementary charge. We went for the King prawns in garlic and chilli, chicken and chorizo in a tomato sauce, pan serrano(garlic bread topped with manchego cheese and serrano ham), chicken burger sliders and a breaded cheese with a tomato sauce. The dishes came with a tomato sauce and garlic aioili dip. As you expect with Spanish tapas the good was hearty and tasty. We didn't leave a morsel on the table. This isn't a dog at the portion size (which was more than generous) it is just a testament to how good it was. We finished with chocolate fudge cake that we had to force down which was probably my least favourite course. This could have been down to being stuffed like a pig before the first spoonful so I wouldn't read too much into that. To drink we had a jug of sangria to share. Sweet and fruity. Scoffed the lot. Enough said. We will definitely be back again. Outstanding value. Lovely food. Brilliant service. Wonderful transport links (if like us you like a little tipple with your Friday night meal). You you are literally up the stairs and across the road from the bus and train station. Should be noted that the Groupon deal was for £34 which is a bargain in itself. As it had been a long time since I last used my Groupon I got an extra 50 percent off the deal. I will never spend under 20 pounds for that amount of quality grub again in my life. Been smiling all weekend. 1st time. Definitely not the last."

"When entering, we sat under tables full of family members who walk over each other so that I and my partner were unable to speak a lot as we could not hear. We then got a menu that was just a small selection of dishes and not where on the site said it would be a set dinner. Then we ordered our food that appeared forever and our drinks were forgotten. Our starters arrived after 20 minutes and they were small but beautiful. I ordered a steak and my partner ordered the fish, we got a bowl of veg and potatoes to share when it said that our meals did not come to share with potatoes and veg and then they charged us £162!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!! The food was nice, but the overall experience and the price was a massive decline for New Year's Eve."

"Booked a table through Opentable only to be told when we arrived it was closed for a private event. Total waste of time and with 7 people (4 adults and 3 children) we struggled to get anywhere else closeby. Awful that you can book and they dont even see it Manager said it was impossible to book online but i received the confirmation "

"I would like to say after I and my wife visited a friend in coleshill, we were told about a pub called red lion on the high street, so we decided to give it a try after the use of the pub a few years back. wow we used this pub about 10 years ago with our parents who used to live in coleshill, we were pleasantly surprised that we stayed safe and for a pizza went a burger, eating was amazing and the whole mood of the pub was so refreshing to see from the friendly staff and the friendly owners, it was nice to be treated with so much respect. I would like to say that in any case we will be done very soon to the new owners."

"Bland, cold and the staples were the worst! We've been twice now to this restauraunt and it's surprisingly bad considering how nice it looks and how inexplicably popular it is! Croquettes really awful bland, horrible texture how can these be bad in a tapas restaurant! Frozen ones from the supermarket would be better! Tortilla one of my favourite bits usually and here it was cold, flavourless, nasty texture so disappointing Patatas bstavas with chicken and chorizo cold and unbelievably bland not even a hint of heat or flavour in the chorizo really really bad. Were hungry and ate it all not cheap and not good enough. Other dishes edible but nothing special. I will say the dates with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon were good. Staff perfectly pleasant but never asked how it was and wouldn't have been able to improve anything if they had! So much better food to be had in Oxford it looks great from the outside but don't fall for it . If a Spanish person was to eat this I'm sure they'd be frothing with rage as to what had been done to their precious cuisine!"

"First of all, because I used to work within the industry I am always with my eyes on my watch. we have been a party of 10, a birthday party actually. 2 from my party have ordered Aperol spritz which no one said at the beginning that you don't sell that, they came after 1 hour and a half, together with a round of drinks that we ordered 7:45. Secondly, it is the first time I am going somewhere, I have a booking and the people I am waiting to come to my party have to wait and queue to get to me. why do I have a booking again? but the doorman explained policies. the same doorman who cannot make the difference between someone's slow speech because he is suffering from stutter and some who is drunk. and when we all tried to explain it, well, apparently we argue and we are all drunk so we cannot go back inside. Overall, the worst experience ever, and it was a birthday party. Thank you Salsa Bar"

"eating here is always excellent, and they do not scrimp on their portions, especially the paella, which is very generous! do not let them be tempted to order paella for the exact number in their party, as the portion size will be huge, unless they have no tapas stars. we were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). we had a selection of tapas stars (approx. 3 pp) followed by a paella mixta for 2 people, and we were filled! that was more than enough, actually enough for us to take away a Doggy bag that later fed 2 adult to dinner. the restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night, so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waiting times. my only handle is that the service is very slow. we have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday evenings and it always feels like they are a little short staff. at a point in the evening I saw 5 employees behind or at the bar, and only 2 tend to customer. to give something context, at this time there were only 2 customers at the bar, but a complete restaurant. if they are not in a hurry, then slower service will not be a problem, but the lack of personal neigen too tables always makes the attention of the waiting staff very laborious, and the delivery of things like drinks very slow. my biggest thing with the restaurant is the toilets, especially the lady room. with this opportunity were 2 out of 3 damen cubiken unusable, with paper and other waste substances blocked probably this is due to bad water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason does not make for a pleasant experience, which leads to a long waiting period for the 1 work room."

"Menu nowhere near as well as before, which was very disappointing. The staff didn't seem really disturbed. Plates were moved away while members of the group still eat, although we said that the employees still eat. Stop visiting."

"Delicious tapas all around at a great price! I particularly enjoyed the fried goat cheese. Three of us ordered the lunch special, each choosing different vegetarian dishes, and everything was delightful. With so many vegetarian options available, I’d say it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to go meat-free. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the decor was equally inviting. There are over 10 vegetarian dishes on the menu, with 2-3 recommended per person, so you'll have plenty of choices. Everything I tried (nine dishes) was delicious!"

"What can I say… we were kept waiting for our table , finally seated and took forever for cocktails (I use the term loosely)to arrive. They were good enough to accommodate a special diet for medical reasons BUT if asked for non spicy there is a reason so why serve it! Felt sorry for the young waiter was doing his best and should have had help but was just overwhelmed In all for what you pay not worth it."

"The food is great here but it took half an hour to put an order in and then an hour's wait for food which was a shame. I do not think it was necessarily the staff who were at fault because they were swept off their feet but it's a shame when the food is so good."

"We came here on a rainy Sunday. It started off quiet but got a bit busier later. The music was a bit unusual; The decor looked a bit tired so we weren't expecting much but the food was actually very good. The salmon roulade was fantastic; Gambas were also cooked perfectly; decent cheese plate. Potatatas bravas could have been a larger portion and I have had better but they weren't bad at all, and last the Moroccan lamb chops were good quality meat and well cooked. Really enjoyed the food and the experiemce overall."

"The second we stepped into this place, I wanted to go back out. The floor was filthy, and we were 'greeted ' by a front of house man in a stained top. He showed us to our table which was sticky and hadn 't been cleaned properly. The music was so loud that we couldn 't hold a conversation. We definitely were tempted to leave at this point, only it was a Saturday night and everywhere was taking bookings only. Our food arrived before our drinks, served by the man again in the stained top! One of the meals had to be sent back as it was cold. There was very little meat in the chilli con carne. The food was very poor quality. All in all this was a downside to our otherwise very nice trip."

"that has turned out to be a wonderful surprise! my partner and I stayed an dinner while at the metford centre at one night, and I admit that I had gone with quite low expectations (one of my previous shopping center restaurants had ever had gone well before/were just from the need to please a group) but that ended my socks out! we were hit at the door and sitting right away. our server was a very pleasant woman who took our drinks food orders in time, and we did not have to wait long for our meal • their vegan/gluten-free offers were quite limited, but we could share the paella for two, it was absolutely beautiful! full of color and taste, it reminded us both of a dish with love home, and proved to be two more than enough food. it is actually a few weeks since our visit, but we are still talking about the paella that plans to visit again soon!"

"La Tasca was not aware of my booking but there was space available anyway. The food was fair and took an age to arrive. It took over an hour to receive some bread and other dishes. They did not have enough staff which meant the service was very slow. In the end a simple meal took over two hours. Based on my experience I would not dine here again."
