What to Order
Mussels de Cha Cha Cha
These spicy mussels are a standout, served with a generous portion of bread perfect for soaking up the flavorful sauce.
"The mussels were served with a generous portion of bread, and it was almost too much food (and I’m never one to say that)."
Maya
Bacon Wrapped Dates
A consistently praised dish, these dates offer a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors.
"The bacon wrapped dates were to die for and the sangria was very well made."
Heather Roy
Sangria
A popular drink choice, often recommended by the pitcher, known for being well-made and refreshing.
"Try the sangria, I recommend a pitcher per person. It worked for me."
Harrison Hyde

"Prawns, Mussels, potatoes bravas. All excellent!"
Mike Alleyne
Grilled Steak
This steak dish is noted for being perfectly prepared and full of flavor, making it a solid choice for a small plate.
"We tried a few cocktails and the sangria, the mussels, grilled steak, bacon-wrapped dates, the seafood pasta, and the chicken drumsticks — every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared."
