Loved it here today, three of us shared the lunch special of 3 plates each for £16.95. Fantastic value! Our total bill with drinks, of wine, sherry and beer was £105.75. Connor our server was lovely. Must try dishes are 'Pig cheeks and mash' , definitely the Aubergine and honey, croquettes, really creamy and crisp, 'Pisto, veg and quail eggs'. Initially I thought the salads came out a bit late in service however in hindsight they made a welcome palate cleanser part way through. Feedback was given to Connor about the smoked anchovies and the baby gem presentation, needs more thought, but the gorgeous red pepper sauce with almond could be really developed by chef, we need more of that stuff. Also we need more sherries please, there were only 2 on the menu, PX and a Manxanilla, which was excellent. We couldn't manage dessert today so we didn't try the PX. Thanks to you guys for a lovely lunch 😋

Visited today for lunch and would highly recommend. All the dishes we ordered were incredible, so fresh and tasty. The service was great and nice decor and atmosphere. Look forward to returning again soon.

We went as a quartet on a work do. Rather than read the menu, we went for the classic "one of everything." Turns out that is quite a lot - the food kept coming, but it was very good. Nice crema on the espresso martinis too.

My wife found this place by luck and we are so happy she did. All our food was 10 out 10 every single dish was fabulous. I had the pig cheeks and I can honestly say I would go back tomorrow to have them again. I cannot recommend it enough.

The food is a bit hit and miss, with some dishes like the potatoes being lovely and others like the quail egg being quite disappointing. We had to try pretty hard to keep flagging down a member of staff to order things or get the bill, as nobody checked in on us.

We had a lovely dinner at bodega 18. Great selection of tapas and hard to pick a favourite. We loved the croquettas. The pigs cheeks were incredible and the Andalusian fried fish was delicious.

Lovely restaurant, great food and helpful staff. The food was so tasty and filling. If you're there between 12 and 2 there's an offer fro 3 tapas for £15, great value. Couldn't quite fit everything on the table there was so much... Could imagine it was even more cosy on an evening.. Next time! 😁 Dietary restrictions: We managed to order well for a keto diet!

Food here was really nice, a little pricy but I think the trick is not to over order. Its easy to assume 3 plates wont be too filling as its tapas, but you would be wrong. Definitely had eyes bigger than my belly here and couldn’t finish some of the food. Great for sharing with friends and the staff were really helpful. Would definitely go back, but would order less food

First time we've visited this tapas restaurant, but it certainly won't be the last! We booked an early table as we were going on to the theatre afterwards, but despite being early evening it was still busy - a good sign surely. Checked in by a very friendly and efficient young lady and shown our table. Placed our order of 5 tapas between us with an equally friendly young lady. The food was delivered promptly, but not too quick as to feel rushed, and was piping hot. We had bread and olives, and patatas bravas to start, with pig's cheek, lamb and fried aubergine in honey for mains. The pig's cheek deserves special mention - absolutely superb - the meat just fell apart and the gravy and mash enhanced it well. Still had room for dessert of chocolate flan and bread and butter pudding, both of which were excellent. So - 5 tapas, 2 desserts, 2 pints, 2 wines for £78 - excellent value.
