Went to this place exclusively for food as it is rated quite highly and the dishes looked great on the website. At the branch in Angel, it is clear that the food is an afterthought and is aimed for a drinking crowd. The tacos were of a very low standard and the cocktail portions were very small. The lady serving us couldn’t have been nicer and very helpful. The barman was quite unfriendly.

We absolutely loved this place! We were visiting from Sheffield and staying around the corner, and happened upon this venue. We loved it so much we came back the next night. We are a couple in our late 30s and just had the best time. The staff, including owner, manager, bar staff and bouncers, were so warm and welcoming. The drinks were great, such friendly staff and a very comfortable environment. We didn't try the food but it smelt excellent. Really would recommend! Can't wait to return. Thanks guys for a great couple of nights.

A bright venue good for cocktails, radio friendly classics blasting from the jukebox and space for dancing. A friend and I went here for a pre-gig cocktail with their £2 tacos on a Saturday. It was pretty empty but the energy from those on their work night out was good. Reasonable price

We stayed for a few hours on a Saturday night 4-7 happy hour on cocktails, they pre make a few to speed up service, good idea. Full of fun people. Maybe not the best seating areas or beer on offer but I don't think they were trying to be a pub. Good fun place. I would go again if I was younger.

-If you’re Latino or like Latin music: The DJ never played Latino music (didn’t hear any J Balvin, Karol G, Maluma, Bad Bunny, Natti Natasha, Fercho, salsa, corridos, vallenato or merengue music). The name of the place and the confusing Mexican/Latin decoration it’s purely a strategy to catch your eye and bring you there. -If you’re not Latino or don’t give a damn about Latin music: This is probably the right place if you just want to have a dance after having a few pints at the pub across the street. They will play the classics from Anglo hip hop, music that will talk to that nostalgia seeker and barely a few Hispanic songs that have been a hit in Europe (despacito, hips don’t lie, el taxi, Macarena) that will make you believe it’s actually the music we would play in an authentic “barrio” - but we would not. Prices: definitely not the prices you’d pay for drinks in a proper “barrio”.

We visited Bar Rioja on a Saturday evening. The venue itself is lovely, small cosy and intimate. The young lady serving us was great, very friendly and and had good knowledge of the wines. Unfortunately the food was a complete disappointment. We ordered 5/6 different tapas dishes. The croquettes were cold, the pork dish had a hard stone in it which could have been either an olive stone or a peice of bone, I was lucky to not chip a tooth on it. All of the food was under seasoned, bland and luke warm at best. We ate it anyway, as we wanted to stay at the venue to try the extensive wine list. We stayed and tried 7/8 different wines which were all nice, but didn't make up for the poor food. All of the food was added to the bill, dispite us flagging the cold food / bone in the pork being flagged to the staff.

Tasty food and was popping hot to my mouth which was enjoyable. Considering food arrived early and I was happy it that it came early. Just sadden they didn’t give me no salad for the curry’s and rice. I also didn’t receive any sauces for poppdoms and had to it it dry. Although everything was to a good point.

Delicious tapas. Lunch service can be a bit slow if you are needing to dine and dash, so make sure you let your server know in advance.
