Great food, tasty but basic presentation. All cooked perfectly including jackfruit skewer which is interesting and tasty. Friendly and quick service. Clean and well maintained. Located in the prime location of Southbank which is fantastic. It’s great place but not fantastic, esp when compared to similar priced restaurant in prime location. Still highly recommended! :)

Great Spanish restaurant located in Brisbane city centre. Authentic paella and cocktails. The chilli margarita was very delicious..! Food is very tasty and looks amazing. Be warned that Quantity is small and prices are $$$. But worth it.

We walked in around 3pm for a late lunch and how wonderful that unlike many other restaurants they don't shut down their kitchen til 5pm. Excellent service and the food was delicious. I'm vegetarian and I was very IMPRESSED with their extensive menu and options allowing for different dietary needs. Lots of shared dish options as well. It will be my go to restaurant when I visit South Bank.On another occasion I had their vegetarian paella and it's just divine.

Went here for a work break up, loved it so much I took my partner back for a celebration dinner. Unbelievably, the food was better the second time round. Staff are friendly, dinner was served promptly, the menu has amazing variety and the sangria was delicious. I recommend trying a little bit of everything. You won’t be disappointed

Food is absolutely amazing.
The only problem is because it was my first time experience in this restaurant and we not familiar with the Spanish menu, so I feel like my husband and I ordered three appetizer...🤣
However those three dishes are delicious. We also like the watermelon-lime flavor mocktail here, (a little sour). We like the warm service here, we like the background music here. We will definitely come back again, highly recommended restaurant, worth a try.
PS: must try Calamari!

Food and service is usually pretty good here - I’ve had some particularly nice meals here in the past when they have had set menus with mostly seafood dishes and have recommend them whenever someone is looking for decent Spanish food in Brisbane.
However after tonight I will not be returning. Bread was served stale - like proper stale, waitress reluctantly replaced it.
Chicken skewers were undercooked (see photo) - dish was returned to kitchen but chef refused to cook further or replace dish.
All restaurants have bad nights but the attitude of the staff and the way they handled it was disappointing

From a Spanish guy: really recommend this restaurant! Awesome food, Spanish environment and the sangria is super tasty! Also, Cleber, the venue manager was super friendly and helpful explaining the menu and recommending the seafood paella, chicken and the bravas (my favourite). The cheesecake was amazing too with the berries ice cream!
Fully recommended and we are coming back really soon!!

Great atmosphere & service. The octopus was well cooked and celery purée was very tasty. A lot of varieties of yummy Sangria. However, very disappointed with Paella, lack of seasoning and not as good as we expected, rice was over cooked and too mushy.

Good service. Paella was ok, wasn't as good as we expected because I have tried paella at other places. Chicken skewers and char grilled octopus was yummy though.

Great service, loved the spicy margarita, and my sister enjoyed the range of gluten free options. The vegan options were fine, but I definitely think the coca de recapte flat bread was quite underwhelming in terms of flavour. Will definitely try the paella next time!
