Quirky little restaurant with a family atmosphere. If you’re after fine dining, it’s probably not the place but if you’re looking for authentic Spanish food and hospitality then look no more! Guillermo and his daughter are super friendly and helpful, definitely worth checking out

Great food, authentic Spanish. Lots of it too so you don't feel short changed as you might in some tapas joints. Very friendly personable service from the owner too. You can buy wine there or bring your own bottle for a very reasonable 7 quid corkage. Was there with a fiend and we both thought it outstanding. It is everything that chain restaurants should be but are not. I really felt like i was in a little tapas place in Spain. Go, this guy deserves our support. People giving one star reviews clearly have no clue about authentic tapas.

I could almost have flown to Malaga for my dinner in the time it took to deliver our order. My husband phoned to check on it after an hour and a half and they were apologetic - offered us free churros by way of apology. Phoned a second time when it got to 2hrs 20 and were told tge order left the kitchen a while ago. Food arrived shortly after and was pretty cold, meatballs were processed meat and calamari was soggy. Seafood paella was nice if it was warmer. Pretty disappointing for the price - and we didn't get the promised churros either! Wouldn't recommend.

The food was delivered a little bit early, which was perfect for me. The calamari rings were delicious, although a little bit soggy. The churros were lovely, but the sauce didn't last for all of them. The paella was...well, rice with a little bit of veg and seafood. Not too impressed.

I am a long time customer of Guillermo's El Gusto tapas restaurant, only being relocated abroad stopped me from going there now. Together with my wife we have tried every single tapas restaurant in Glasgow, and El Gusto is by far the best. Great atmosphere and mostly great food! Guillermo is a master in revisiting and modernising traditional Spanish dishes. Meat or Fish it makes no difference to him, and you'll find yourself fully satisfied if you chose to join El Gusto!

Как и несколько других рецензентов, я очень смущен некоторыми из очень положительных отзывов об этом ресторане. Мы посетили в пятницу вечером и были единственными людьми в ресторанном баре за столом из двух человек, которые заказывали кофе к тому времени, когда мы поели. Это сделало еще более удивительным, что наша еда прибыла в совершенно разное время, большая часть которой была холодной. Не посещайте этот ресторан, если вы рассчитываете заплатить цены, указанные в онлайн-меню, поскольку во многих случаях они были завышены примерно на 5 фунтов стерлингов и, учитывая, что еда была средней или плохой, это, безусловно, не было оправданным. «Белая рыба в традиционном испанском соусе» (Guiso de Pescado Garum) была неидентифицируемой рыбой, плавающей в воде и соли с некоторыми анемичными половинными картофельными дольками прямо из морозильной сумки, на несколько фунтов больше, чем рекламируется в Интернете. Corkage является приемлемой платой в нелицензионных ресторанах, однако нам подарили сумасшедшую фигуру в 36 фунтов стерлингов (за 1 бутылку вина и 8 сортов пива) НЕВЕРОЯТНО неприятного человека (одетого в черную поварскую рубашку), который очень хотел продайте это нам как «отличную сделку», когда мы предположили, что, возможно, эта непристойная цифра может быть уменьшена, учитывая, что несколько членов группы закончили есть к тому времени, когда некоторые из приемов пищи прибыли. На это нас высмеяли за «спор за несколько фунтов» и сказали, что, если мы не хотим платить такую ​​высокую цену, он также будет применять недискреционную плату за обслуживание более высокой стоимости к нашему счету. Этот персонаж появлялся за нашим столом несколько раз, как будто он хотел подраться. Интересно, действовал ли бы он таким образом, если бы в этом месте были какие-то другие клиенты, или если бы мы были семейной группой, которой он чувствовал, что обязан более уважительным обслуживанием? В какой-то момент член нашей группы зашел в ванную, и персонаж спустился вниз по лестнице позади него, пробормотав «что за чертовщина», а затем настойчиво встал за стойкой в ​​ванной, а потом последовал за ним наверх (крайне странно). С его угрожающим поведением один из наших друзей фактически последовал за ним вниз по лестнице, чтобы проверить, что все в порядке. Сотрудник его штаба повернулся к нам, опустив голову и покачивая ее, когда она извинилась за его поведение. Последние 30 минут нашей трапезы были потрачены на то, чтобы защитить себя от этого человека, когда он стоял над нашим столом, эффективно отговаривая нас. После того, как мы заплатили по счету, персонажа попросили перестать быть таким агрессивным по отношению к нам, поэтому он высунул палец и произнес: «Я АССЕРТИВ, НЕ АГРЕССИВЕН». Невероятно неприятный опыт. Не рекомендую никому. Kak i neskol'ko drugikh retsenzentov, ya ochen' smushchen nekotorymi iz ochen' polozhitel'nykh otzyvov ob etom restorane.

I'm a bit confused by all these reviews. They definitely don't reflect the food we received. We popped in for some tapas. We received a cold, store bough baguette (could have put it in the over for 30 seconds), meatballs that tasted like they came straight from a tin, patatas bravas which as just cut up chips with sauce, overdone pork, overdone prawns but in fairness the cheese and chicken was quite nice. Was the chef off and replaced with a two year old? That is my only explanation for the very poor food we received.

We were the only diners all night so there was really no excuse for the slow service. The waitress was lovely but couldn’t give us any information about the menu or the specials. Staff kept disappearing out the door and we waited ages for menus to be returned to order dessert. Food was not good. Patatas gratinadas was ordered as a side dish for the main but it arrived before the starter and was a ridiculous price for what amounted to half a sliced potato in some sauce. Rabbit had a lot of bone in it and prawn dish lacked any flavour. It was so disappointing after reading the reviews. Staff were friendly but food was overpriced for the quality given.

We hired El Gusto for a family birthday party and is was simply brilliant. The owner was kind and helpful beforehand, letting us drop off the drinks (it's BYOB with corkage) and cake the night before, and putting balloons on the tables. The food was brilliant - the tapas flavoursome and diverse, ranging from goat to mushrooms to calamari and of course 2 types of patatas. The paella was rustled up in the restaurant, adding great theatre to the party, and it was excellent - fragrant and tasty with quality ingredients.We stayed longer than intended, loving the food and drink and atmosphere.

The kids fancied tapas, especially as they have not been to visit their grandma in Malaga this year, so we took them here for tapas. We had albondigas (meatballs) both normal and spicy, a lamb stew which seemed to have a Moroccan influence, plus some patatas bravas and other small things. The food was excellent, the kids loved it, and the portions generous. Service was attentive. The only downside was no bar - so take a bottle or two and pay the corkage, £5 per bottle, so will work out cheaper in the long run.

We'd been walking past this little place on our various jaunts up and down the lively and popular Gibson Street several times and always earmarked it as a potential place to call in.It was a balmy July evening and we noticed that the one al fresco table and two chairs that this tiny little place offers were vacant, hooray!We'd already eaten earlier on in the evening so unfortunately, this was never going to be an occasion where we would get to try all of the tapas that was on offer, but we thought a little of something delicious is better than nothing at all, right?We plumped for the Pescado en Adovo (fried, marinated haddock with alioli sauce) and a main of chilli con carne. Both were delicious, fresh and packed full of flavour.Our waiter, a wonderful, friendly gentleman with thick hair, a beard and glasses playfully helped us with our Spanish pronunciations and praised us when we did well! He was attentive despite it being busy inside the restaurant and checked on us regularly and took a genuine interest in how we had enjoyed the food. We never felt forgotten about despite being outside on the only table.We were enjoying our evening so much, it didn't take much to twist our arm for dessert. We ordered piping hot and wonderfully fresh, sugary churros with chocolate sauce and a divine crema catalana.Still not ready to end our evening, we finished with a pot of peppermint tea and a really good, strong Americano.During the evening, there was a birthday party going on inside with a group of ukulele players. The waiter explained to us at the end of the evening that they are a group that always celebrate their birthdays in a particular way, by bringing their ukuleles to the restaurant and having a huge singalong. The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful. They even had their little babies with them enjoying every minute, it felt like a free concert!Overall, we had such a hugely enjoyable evening filled with smiles, music, delicious food and fantastic service. There are so many dishes on the menu that I can't wait to try so we will definitely be back as the prices are fantastic for the quality of food and high standards of service.Well done El Gusto!

The menu has a wide variety and diners can opt for tapas or starters and mains. I've eaten here a few times and have sampled a number of different dishes, all were delicious. We went for the set menu which includes 6 tapas and a paella to share. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked with love! The lamb had a lovely cinnamon taste, the patatas bravas nice and fiery, the fish beautiful and tender. The food is the best tapas I've sampled out with Spain! There's no drinks licence so it's byob and they charge for corkage meaning the night is a bargain. Can't fault the place, the staff and owner are great too.

I absolutely love El Gusto, my only small complaint is that I've ordered 2 Pan Garum's with my last 2 orders and only received one. Next time I'll leave a note with the restaurant ;-)

Food was delicious (as always!) and I throughly enjoyed it. Food took a little while longer to come than expected, however it was obviously very fresh and nice and hot. I also got a little extra popped into the bag, thank you for the creme caramel, lovely touch ✨

The food was good and it was delivery even faster than the estimated time. The only problem was the mess in the package as some of the sauce spilled.

Ordered from here for the first time a few days ago, after reading so many positive reviews. And I was not disappointed at all. Food was excellent and piping hot when it came, within 30 minutes of placing the order. Had the chicken paella, calamares frito, and patatas bravas. The complimentary tubs of caramel pudding were a nice touch. Thank you! Only one complaint - the fried calamari became quite soggy by the time it arrived. Perhaps styrofoam containers would be better. I'm definitely going to order from here again.... looking forward to trying out other dishes from the menu. This might just become my new favourite takeaway place.

Quite simply fantastic food - with great flavours and the portions are large - we booked this more for its location than anything else but will be back. We forgot it was BYOB but as I was driving this was not a problem for me but it is worth remembering

Having tried a few tapas places, I kind of expect each of them to be rather on the expensive side. El Gusto is not the case. The eatery is compact and unpretentious, as if it is in someone's house. The menu is compact as well, making it easy to choose.The chorizo soup with an egg on top was spectacular yet simple. The fish garum was filled with umami that was so rich that I couldn't stop eating, and it complemented well with rice.The place can be a bit cold, so choosing a seat away from the front door helps.

El Gusto rarely gets it wrong. It's small enough to feel you are eating out of someone's own kitchen. There isn't anything fancy about it. It's just genuine and honest tapas. BYOB helps too making it great value for money. The set menu for two provides a mixture of flavour and taste that you otherwise might not explore. Will be back for sure.

Restaurant added 10 mins to 40 min delivery time but then arrived very early. Super annoying when restaurants add time to predicted. Clamari were chewy (obv. not fresh/or overcooked) and batter was soggy. Patatas Ali-Oli = very acidic Ali-Oli.

Poor to say the least, garlic bread starter is what most good italian restaurants serve free, ordered meatball macaroni , 5 pea sized meatballs hidden in a mound of bland macaroni and one meatball was burnt, sad I'm sorry to say, overrated under achieved

Visited with a friend as we fancied somewhere a bit different. Nicely decorated with a cosy Spanish feel. Staff were friendly and conversational. When we went it was £8.50 for three dishes, which makes for a very decent meal and the food was all very pleasant - my friend had the mussels which were particularly generous. The only slight let down was the chocolate fondue for two people, which consisted mainly of chopped apple and banana, and could have been more generous with the strawberries/churros at almost £10. But overall very good value and a solid choice for anyone bored of pizza/pasta/burger.

Never been here before and I thought overall it was pretty good. I've been lucky to have eaten a lot of Tapas style food in Spain over the years and having recently eaten at Rioja also in Glasgow I was tempering my enthusiasm (Rioja is very good)So Friday night, not that busy but food was good. I'm not that keen on Paprika and I found that to be used a fair bit, beef quality could have been better. However wine was fantastic, and price I'm not kidding was half that of Rioja3* Average is maybe a bit harsh, I would go back and for £15 a head for food the value cannot be beaten.

The service was disastrous. Grabbed a booked table at 19:45 and we only got the first tapas at 20:40, one hour after that we managed to get the attention of one of the waiters and got the bill. Some drinks didn't even make it to the table, my glass of water had bits in it. The food wasn't too bad, although I think you can find better Spanish food in Glasgow. I'll save my money and spend it on actual spanish food while my next trip to Spain.

Went late on Sunday night and the staff were still so accommodating and the kitchen was still fantastic even though we were the only people in! Food is great and wine is fantastic and so cheap!! I've not been here in years and the food and service has not changed - one of my favourite tapas' restaurants in Glasgow. This is a 5 min taxi from Glasgow central - make the trip, you won't be disappointed!
