The owners have created a buzz at this Tapas bar that has everyone talking. It's like street food Spanish style. The Music, the dimmed lighting, the open kitchen, the too few tables all come together to create a scene that's reminiscent of Las ramblas, Barcelona. It's addictive. And then there's the food. Prepared in a galley kitchen that had an oven,... More

After a disappointment at Marios this Tapas bar was brilliant. We had the clams and butterfly chilli prawns sensational . Service was first class and food to match. We recommend this to anybody that wants tasty food that's fresh and reasonably priced. This is a must! We will leave our money there when in town More

Wow, amazing. Well worth waiting for a table or a place at the counter. For single diners or couples counter dining is perfect, and actually if there were more of us I would ignore my friends and still eat at the counter! The food was honest and the wines were superb. The Chefs were relaxed and looked like they were... More

A place that doesn't take reservations but is just a beauty. Honest and Authentic tapas that doesn't cost the earth. We ate all items that started with the letter "C" And we loved the Croquettes, Grilled Calamari, Califlower and Churros - all worth trying. Located at the oasis shopping centre it is indeed aptly named. Would recommend that you C... More

This will soon be the number 1 in Broadbeach. The rest are looking tired and overated. Super fresh food, the chilli garlic prawns, chicken skewers are a must. Tasty Spanish beer which I've never had before. Lovely wait staff who really know their stuff. The street bar like feel, with a small number of tables, give it a great intimate... More

Amazing tapas and Sangria! Its a shame there isn't alot of seats, and last time I was there they didn't take booking so you have to go and wait if there's no tables. Well Worth the wait though! More

The pleasant atmosphere didn't outweigh the service - impossible to order and a waiter with attitude re: food allergies. Sangria was okay, but not good enough to tolerate the rest. Shame. More

I came across this place while strolling to find some food, late on a Tuesday evening. There was a great buzz to the place. I was invited to sit at the bench and ordered two tapas dishes. They came out consecutively, so that i wasn't swamped with food. The food is made in front of you, and is very fresh,... More
