"Initially tried Las Barillas nearby but we're basically ignored by the staff so gave this Tabanco a go. Fate proved fortune. A great location and bar with a traditional set up. The tapas here were excellent, of very good quality, portion size and value, we overheard another guest saying they were the best she had eaten and we were in agreement. The guys serving were friendly and professional. We received a nice welcome and were attended to promptly. We ate well and were unhurried. Definitely worth a 5 stars score on this occasion!"

"We had an awesome afternoon here. Food was outstanding, especially the menudo (different than Mexican style) which was recommended by the bartender Javi (who was great). Service was excellent, atmosphere is fun and lively. It was one of our best meals on this trip so far!!"
