Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Myself and partner went this evening for our 1st post lockdown date night.... the service was amazing. Drinks order taken immediately but given plenty of time to study the extensive menu. Food was serviced within 10 minutes of ordering, piping hot, clearly freshly cooked. All the waiters/waitresses were attentive without being over the top. We had 5 tapas dishes each, a desert, 2 cocktails and a bottle of bubbly for a very fair price. On paying our bill we received a shot each 😊😊. Will definitely return!

There was a great choice on the menu and I have to say for all you can eat it was very good. The only two negatives were nearly £4 for a pint of coke and the service was a little slow at times. Not sure if that was to slow our eating down but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I would eat here again. Good veggie choice too.

Visited early evening at weekend and welcomed by staff and sat at table nice and quick. We had some good choices off the menu and can I just say, all were superb. All food is piping hot and fresh, it was a taste bud pleasure. We have visited a fair few Tapas places here and abroad and this is up there with them I would say. Definitely will visit again and would recommend anyone who likes Tapas in a lovely restaurant to try. Just a quick word on parking, there is some round the back behind the Mecca bingo hall that is pay and display. The NCP one next door to Relish is quite expensive if during daytime. But don't let that spoil fantastic food at this restaurant.

Went to El torero again after having an amazing meal there last week with family. I took a friend who is gluten free and the staff didn’t understand what that meant despite stating on their menu that they cater especially for gluten free. The service was slow compared to other tables, our meals didn’t come at the same time so we had to wait for our food to go cold to eat together. The restaurant wasn’t even busy so I don’t understand why this happened. The bill was wrongly charged £30 under and when we were honest to tell them they didn’t thank us. Very disappointed after having a nice meal here before and how badly they served a coeliac customer.

El Torero offers an all you can eat tapas buffet however there are rules. On your first round you can order 3 dishes per person then 2 on your second round and from then on only one dish at a time, this means you cant fill the table with loads of dishes which you don't finish. The food is tasty and well prepared with a good choice of meat, seafood and vegetable options. Srvice was friendly but patchy as we were sat outside we were waiting for a long time and a drink we ordered never appeared but we were charged for it.

Ate here this afternoon (19th September) for the first time and we weren't disappointed. Upon arrival we were the only ones in the restaurant. We was served by a polite young lady who was always on hand. After ordering our first dishes the food came out pretty quickly and everything was cooked to perfection, it is definitely value for money. I would 100% recommend to anyone and will be returning here.

This was the first time in over a year that we had visited and we weren't disappointed. The tapas menu is even bigger than before and the dishes on offer were great. All of our dishes we ordered were delicious with only the liver being slightly disappointing as it was very tough and had clearly been overcooked. I also understand the 3 dishes, then 2 dishes then 1 dish to ensure no food wastage but we felt like we could've eaten another 4 dishes between myself and my partner but were told we could only order 1 more each on our next order. We had to wait a while to order our next dish each so couldn't be bothered to wait around to order another dish each after finishing. However this hasn't tainted our experience and we will definitely be visiting again.

I visited here yesterday with my partner and a couple friends for tapas. Our table was booked for quarter past 6, we were greeted at the door and seated; the member of staff took our drinks order which arrived within 10 minutes. All staff members were wearing PPE and the restaurant looked well presented and clean. We ordered 3 dishes to start with, all of which were perfect and arrived very quickly after receiving a garlic dip and bread appetiser. We went on to order 2 further dishes and finished with 1 dish each. The food always arrived quickly and was great quality. We ordered more drinks before leaving which again arrived quickly. We had such a great experience, thank you!

Service at this restaurant was brilliant. I had to call multiple times to amend the booking and felt a right pain! However nothing was too much trouble. I really appreciated the call earlier in the day to confirm my booking details were all correct for later. The staff were amazing and I loved how they made an effort to pronounce the dishes properly and authentically (as a Spanish speaker I was very impressed!) We were a party of 10 to celebrate a birthday, needless to say the table got very loud! The staff were very lighthearted and didn’t mind, despite this probably making their order-taking more difficult! I love how the food was fresh to order. Everything was tasty, hot etc. Our only one disappointment was we asked to order more but they never came. Then when we followed it up and asked again we were told we couldn’t order any more as they needed the table back (fair enough) but then when asked if we could order desserts (of which are an added cost not included in the tapas price) this was ok?! All the food was great apart from the crema catalana we paid extra for. This was really disappointing and not authentic at all sadly. Highlights for the food across the table were the lamb chops, garlic prawns and creamy chicken. Non-alcoholic sangria was a nice alternative to a Coca Cola too! Great value for money and friendly staff, will definitely be back for my tapas fix.

We visited El Torero on a Sunday night. When we arrived at 8.45pm we were told that the kitchen would close at 10 so we could only choose 5 tapas dishes each from the all you can eat menu (£16) but the cost would still be the same! We were hungry so we decided to stay and try it. Unfortunately the first dish, Paella, was some sort of left over from earlier and had to be sent back. All in all the food was average at best and we felt rushed.

On a Tuesday evening I visited the restaurant for the very first time. The menu wasn’t explained upon arrival this had to be asked as the staff didn’t appear to know what they were doing. As you have to order 3 dishes each me and my partner ordered 3 each first as explained. We went for the safe ‘nice’ looking dishes on the menu.. chicken paella, calamari and halloumi came out within 3 minutes of making the order. It tasted worse than uncle Ben’s microwave rice, the calamari was not cooked properly. The chicken was submerged in a liquid and was completely tasteless. We didn’t proceed to order anything else, instead, we got the attention the manager and politely explained the food wasn’t good. Instead of an apology, the manager kept speaking over my partner repeating that he will re-cook the calamari. This wasn’t the solution we were looking for. We already felt terrible about not eating anything as it was awful! To make matters worse the manager got defensive and didn’t apologise once, instead he raised his voice telling us that there’s a policy that there’s nothing they can do. This is disgusting customer services!!!! Never will I step foot into a place that will not listen to genuine customer feedback. Imagine paying £40 for food we didn’t eat. Disgusting!

The owner is very hospitable and will do anything to ensure you have a great experience. All the waitresses were lovely, polite, friendly and very professional. There is a really great choice of foods if you like Spanish dishes and or spicy foods. Menu is a little limited for younger children however but our 6 year old still went home full. It had a really nice atmosphere and would definitely go back numerous times.

Booked here for the eat out to help out scheme (2weeks in advance) when booked explained that my son had a milk allergy and checked they could cater for him. They agreed they could and there is lots of tapas that is milk free. Turned up on the night... and the manager told us he doesn’t serve allergies due to kitchen size. He was very abrupt with his speaking and told his he refuses to serve my one year old. I explained that I had spoken to someone and he still refused to feed him saying it’s policy and pointing at his menu. After checking the menu it states they can cater for allergies but this isn’t happening. We was then left trying to find somewhere to eat! Avoid if you have an allergy!

Been going here for a few years now and it’s normally decent food. Ordered chicken skewers and they came out still clucking it was that raw. The guy sat a few tables away then cut into his and it was the same. Manager came over and basically said it happens occasionally. Nice one pal, I’ll spend the next few days on the bog because you think serving raw chicken is fine!!! Manager who claims he’s not the owner but clearly is, he’s the most aggressive man I’ve ever encountered and has zero customer service skills. His staff are clearly scared of him which was extremely concerning for us as customers, I won’t repeat what one member of staff said about him but I felt genuinely worried. This place is slowly going downhill because the “manager” is a bell end. He was losing customers because he was so busy shouting at me for his kitchen staff’s mistake but he didn’t care.

I would highly recommend This is a very comfortable restaurant, the food is excellent, with good friendly service we have been several times and can’t say we have had a bad meal. Love the 3-2-1 menu as you get to try different tapas meals. The chicken in coconut is excellent, well worth the £14.95 looking forward to visiting again
