"The small plates make this restaurant a fabulous choice for either lite bites or a full meal. We are a family of vegetarians and one of my daughters has coeliac disease so is gluten free because of this we are sometimes limited to a small number of options but not here we all had a wealth of choice which was refreshing and much appreciated. We choose manchego, olives, mushrooms in garlic, tortilla, lentil stew, chickpea stew, aubergine topped with cheese and tomato and garlic topped bread, patatas bravas and padron peppers. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfction in fact we enjoyed the lentil stew and manchego so much we ordered seconds! We ordered many small plates and copius amounts of alcohol and the bill was a very reasonable £121 for the four of us. The atmosphere was great, the service was attentive and the food was to class highly recommended."

Decent but unremarkable Spanish tapas restaurant. Very helpful staff, but spoiled a bit for us by a very noisy office party

Terrible experience! The food was ice cold and definitely not worth the high price. Cafe Andeluz is much better and more affordable.

Lovely food and a brilliant deal for restaurant week. Great staff and quick service. The prawns, lamb meatballs and calamari were our favourites!

This venue is excellent for pre-game meals. I had a great experience with friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, and they even rearranged tables to fit our group. View menu

Great food, friendly, fast service and a lovely quirky restaurant. Sadly since the Durham restaurant closed we don't get to go very often, but when we visit the Newcastle one, it's always will worth it!

I recently had the most amazing lunch at El Coto with my friends for one of the ladies 40th birthday treat. It was my first visit and I was a bit of a novice. We opted for the lunch special 3 tapas for £14.75 and with 12 dishes between the 4 of us we had an amazing feast. The meatballs are to die for, the alioli is so moreish and the papos a lo pobre where delish. I can't wait to visit again!

I came with a group of friends for my 50th birthday, we chose the £20.90pp set menu. There were about 20 dishes hot and cold. This is the best meal I have had in Newcastle and we were all full to the limit. The service was amazing and the staff friendly and helpful. Eventhough it was quick service we never felt rushed and they didn't push us to leave once we had finished the meal. I definitely want to come back, I cannot find one fault. 5 star plus View menu

We visited today with family from Leeds as it was recommended by a friend for authentic Spanish tapas. It did not disappoint. We have two vegans in the family that were catered for also and their food was delicious. For the 3 none vegans the food was amazing! Marcia, could not have helped more if she tried, she recommended food for a fussy 12 year old, who demolished his food! She also helped us to order in Spanish, and a few other words we asked for! Such a beautiful lady. Thankyou so much. We will definitely be back.

I went on a date night with a beautiful friend of mine who had reserved a table in advance. However, I arrived 30 minutes late due to a mix-up with the time. The staff were great and found humor in my lateness. They led me straight to the table where my date was patiently waiting with a bottle of red wine already opened. We ordered a set meal for three as I have a big appetite and enjoyed the delicious starters of olives, bread, ham, and cheese. The mains were equally satisfying and we indulged in various tasty dishes. We also shared a second bottle of red wine and topped off the meal with chocolate mint ice cream for dessert. The night was fantastic, the staff were lovely, the venue had a g...

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."
