Visited this establishment for Sunday lunch after a friend recommended it. First of all, parking is hell. It really astounds me how people from Umhlanga insist on driving down the road from their flat instead of walking. There is a parking area that charges R10 an hour opposite the restaurant areas so I was forced to park there.Okay, back to the restaurant. Service was very good. We were served by a young black gentleman that looked like he would be more at home on a rugby field than a restaurant. He was attentive and efficient.We were changed tables three times because we were seated in awkward places even though we booked a week in advance. Not a very good first impression.We ordered 6 different tapas to share amongst the four of us. Food took about 30 minutes but was worth the wait. The lamb chops dish and the seafood platter were a favourite. The four veggie dishes were good too.The camembert with mushroom pudding was good but the pastry was uncharacteristically hard. We could not cut through it.The menu is expensive but thats granted given the area. Good wine list. Small tables though. Washroom facilties are outside the restaurant and youd have to request the key from your waiter.
Good food, good vibe. Sometimes excellent service, although its often extremely average. (Disappointing for such a good spot!) Nice relaxed space. Beer on tap and good wine selection.
So a last minute outing turned out pretty decent. The food was really great, service was awesome. The best nachos I have ever tasted so far.🔥 The decor was not to my liking but thats just my personal opinion. All in all it was a good experience dining the tapas way.. its definitely worth a visit. It does get pretty full sometimes so I suggest you book.
The worst meal EVER! we ordered the chicken, with potatoes and veg. The chicken looks boiled. The potatoes... Where do I even start... They we dry, gross and chewy. The veg was over cooked and bland. We were so excited to try this meal. We have literally left it and ordered something else to eat. To top it off, manager was so rude and arrogant when collecting the food. Will never eat here or order food here again.
Its fortunate this is a tapas restaurant because everything is delicious and everything needs to be tried! The prawns, the croquettes, the meatballs... all good. Pay attention to the specials board as well - the paella is a Must Do if on offer! Pricy, but worth it.
Great upmarket vibey joint! Tried the tapas and were impressed. The best thing was our waiter, he was the friendliest most helpful person. All in all, my wife and I had a great night out.
Wow! Great food and atmosphere. We were a party of 11 which the staff ably accommodated. We had an awesome time!
Good selection of food. Interesting combinations. Their 2 and 3 specials are great value.
We really enjoyed food was great but food portions are small for the price... I know its tapas but do feel its overpriced for what you get.. But who am I to complain the place was full
Loved it. Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Great for sharing with a group.
Our favourite spot to eat! Service impeccable! Food amazing! Love love love!
Amazing food, and perfectly cooked. However, we wish the tapas portions were smaller so we could have enjoyed some more dishes.
We love this place. Fantastic food, friendly staff and awesome cocktails
Food and service are good. The chicken and veg take away special is good value for money.
We were a party of 6. 5 ordered off the specials board and enjoyed their meals. I ordered off the main menu! The Ceasar salad was unlike anything I have ever seen and would not fit the description ever. It was inedible. The grilled calamari was overcooked and like biltong! There was no sauce and it was impossible to eat it. Otherwise not a bad evening with good service.
Affordable. The sangria was great. 4 tapas for 2 people. And churros for dessert.
Great beers and atmosphere fpr older generation
Tapas menu is great and can easily be shared! Cocktails are also good quality.Nice crowd and vibe, very upmarket place in Umhlanga
We held our launch there and management really went out of their way to accommodate us. Our guests had a fabulous time.
The lunch special is great value for money, well worth a visit.
Food was good, atmosphere was great, but service was absolutely slow
Good food. Just love tapas style food
The food and the service top notch.
Great tapas and experiencing Spanish cuisine and culture
Divine cuisine , mouth watering n so full of flavours
Food was good, but even for Tapas the portions were terribly small and over over priced. The chicken wings were only one half of the wings and had 5 pieces!! I have been to Spain and thats not Tapas. The restaurant is profiting on a concept they claim to know.
Good service, great dessert but the mains and starters were super average
Good for casual dining. Nice atmosphere
Lovely, tasty tapas. . Great cost atmosphere
Great Service. Great Food. A Favourite.
Beat for lunch and dinner with some loud friends of yours, not with your partner for a quiet evening
I visited this wonderful Mexican tapas restaurant twice . The only reason I give it 4* vs 5* is because of Service that is not consistent. The first time was at lunch with my hubby and everything was awesome - the service, the meals and the ambience. The waiters were knowledgeable in knowing the meals on offer , including the drinks of the day. I raved about this place . However on going though the second time - this was not consistent - the meals were great , however our waiter did not know what was in offer , which drinks were available or not and took forever to serve us. I am hoping this was a once off holiday season mess up- really enjoy the meals venue . Loved the fact that I also kore about the meaning of tapas etx from this restaurant. Prepared to change to 5* if my next experience is a better one
Amazing food with amazing staff !! I had a great experience with the place
Always good service. Great Tapas. Sometimes small portions.
Excellent staff. Good food
Friendly service but not a great tapas selrction
Food had good taste but ended up with food poisoning. From a table of 18... 4 had food poisoning.
Excellent service, lovely atmosphere and delicious food.
Good vibe, tasty food. Portions small relative to price, and yes, I know it is tapas😊
Best tapas restaurant Ive been to outside spain
Great tuppas good atmosphere and super margaritas
Well below average- not even the exceptional service can make up for the substandard quality of the food.Much better places on offer at the Village
Good fun restaurant with great tapas and good service
Excellent tapas. Best calamari.
Good food. Service is alive but lacks knowledge of dishes. Good winelist with wide variety (taste & budget). Be sure to have the churros!
Great food and atmosphere!Will be going back
Very basic cooking without any creativity as a result the food is mediocre. Good for family with kids.
Beautifully, Tailored Service. Love this place
Amazing food, great service. Will definitely visit again
Pinxada is ok, nice decor and the food was good, but overpriced for the service and quality, I felt. R210 for a salmon, and they swapped mine and my friends and didnt even apologise when we had to swap it with each other, half eaten. I could understand at McDonalds, but not at a restaurant like this. Service was average and unenthusiastic.
Great vibe, great service, even better food!!
Cocktails wonderful during the,week ..food awesome and take seats so great on cheat days ..Enjoy
Food was lovely service was great. Awsome place
Well orgenised establishment Food is excellant
It okay sometimes super great.
Pintxada is a small restaurant that is well known for its Tapas. It has an amazing European theme, with marble walls. They have seating inside on tables, around the bar and rounded booths, as well as seating outside. They have the most exquisite and foreign food, made by their head chef who was trained in Spain in order to make these delicious decadents. My personal favourite is a plate of assorted Tapas followed by some mouth watering rotisserie chicken and then the Churros, which are Spainish piped doughnuts served with chocolate sauce, for dessert. I love going to Pintxada with my family, we especially go with guests as it is such a treat. The service is very good and if it is ever slow, it will be worth the wait! So if you are ever looking for a fancy and different dining experience, Pintxada is your place.
Great food great place
Great service, enjoyable food, good helpings, well-presented dishes.
Really excellent meals, great service!
Not great. Grey tough lamb chops, boring hummus, oily flat bread, not bad fried calamari, reasonably good falafel. Good service and not bad atmosphere. Too expensive for what you get
Food was impeccable , Service was great, vibe was amazing all in all it was a wonderful evening and experience.
Nice chilled vibe. Order the sangria by the jug.
