Love this place - you can never go wrong with the croquettes, popcorn halloumi and chorizo - we definitely got our favourites in yesterday!! We had gorgeous mocktails due to my pregnant friend and these came with fresh fruit galore - was fantastic! Thanks Jess for great service yet again!

We have just eaten here for the all you can eat tapas. In 1 and a half hours we were served 6 dishes between 2 of us. They were smaller than we’ve had previously when not an all you can eat. We were at one point left without food for half an hour, which is when we decided to leave. We also had to wait 20 minutes without a drink. I understand this when a restaurant is busy, however the staff were talking by the till for the majority of the time we were there in groups of 3/4. There were also other tables who had ordered 2/3 times in the time it took for us to receive our initial order. When we asked to pay, the staff charged us full price without asking how the meal was. We have eaten at the Skipton (and Leeds when it was open) restaurant previously and always received such a high level of service. We are honestly so disappointed. Given it’s the end of lockdown, we were so excited for this. We even booked close to one month in advance. We definitely won’t be back to the Ilkley branch. Given we have never complained or left a bad review anywhere else previously, it should give you an idea as to how bad our experience was.

Food excellent. Especially the lamb and calamares Service impeccable. Just wished the dishes had come out together as a “unit” They arrived in dribs and drabs which isn’t the best way to enjoy a tapas experience! But that aside it was such a lovely first meal out of lockdown. Thank you !

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a meal here last Wednesday. We’ve visited here for years and are always so impressed with the foods authenticity, unpretentious venue and exemplary service and this visit was no different other than the added, and sadly necessary, covid measures. Lucy was looking after us, in fact everyone, and was nothing short of incredible. Her service was effortless friendly an not intrusive. Our food was delicious and packed full of flavour. Lucy apologised for the odd dish being a touch slower to reach the table which was due to the take away service proving so popular, we are just so pleased to see the service being used!!Looking forward to our next visit, I’m sure it won’t be too long!Thank you to Lucy and the chefs for yet another wonderful experience!!

This is one of our favourite restaurants and we brought along our grown up daughter and her partner who were staying with us for a few days. I think we ordered almost every dish and finished off the evening with espresso martinis. Our daughter is a pescatarian and loved the vegetarian and seafood dishes. We especially loved the chorizo in red wine and the pork belly which is astonishingly good! A few jugs of sangria went down so well! Great atmosphere, superb service as always from Jess and her team - thank you! We will be back very soon!

Our first post-lockdown meal out in West Yorkshire. The restaurant had quite a few tables removed to keep within guidelines. We were warmly welcomed and everything explained to us as to how it would work (trays brought to the table, where we would take the dishes off, to limit the time the staff were at our table). As usual, delicious tapas and authentically cooked. We chose the fish and vegetable dishes and I can highly recommend the calamari and garlic king prawns, which were so good, we asked for a second dish! The halloumi popcorn was really good too. A bottle of Spanish house red was a good choice. For dessert we chose a raspberry parfait and a white chocolate parfait - both really lovely. As our visit was during the Eat Out to Help Out, it was even better getting £20 off our bill! We will be back soon! Thanks everyone for working so hard to make everything perfect. It was really appreciated.

Met up with friends who were also first time visitors to La Casita. Nice table then the menu explained and recommendations offered by an enthusiastic and lovely waitress. Always feel you order too much food when having Tapas in a group and this was the case but there was so much on the menu to want to try. As always some dishes are better than others and some group members didn't always agree on the variety. However, all in all great food, even better service and I feel value for money overall. If the other 4 branches are as good as Ilkley we will certainly go again. Great staff led by a superb Manageress.

We all commented how well she had done even after only working for the restaurant for a very short time and having to put up with us lot after we had far too much wine ! keep up the good work Elouise you are good at it .We will definitely go again and would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great evening and dining experience in Ilkley.Once again Thank you to everyone we will be back .Tim

Visited on a Saturday evening, booked online which was easy and efficient. Selection of dishes is good and waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. Went for 3 dishes each which was just about the right quantity. Brilliant selection of gins and cocktails which we took full advantage of! Wine very reasonably priced. All food doesn’t come at once which makes it a much more relaxed experience. We were here early evening and the place was getting busier by the minute, but we were not rushed to vacate our table and sat and had a post meal martini! All in all a really pleasant Saturday evening and will be visiting again !

We've been here a couple of times before and found it pleasant and quite good value with some imaginative dishes. Two minor points. The music can be a bit loud for some and the individual dishes came mostly one at a time and perhaps not in the order we wanted to eat them. But this didńt detract from an enjoyable evening.

We ordered 4 Tapas dishes. 2 of them came and we had to ask where the others were. The next one came when we had nearly finished the first two and the last one never arrived. When we enquired about it the waiter said he was sorry but it was his fault that he never ordered it and it would take 10 to 15 minutes so we cancelled it. We had a bottle of Rose but the whisky with a small bottle of lemonade was £11.75 which we thought was expensive. We left and went somewhere else where we had a desserts and coffee.

I visited the Leeds restaurant a few weeks ago with friends and had such a wonderful experience I was excited to book my local Ilkley restaurant for a special family gathering. Gutted I did. Miserable greeting, then just left for ages before anyone asked for our drinks. Appalling service doesn’t even come close. Female manager unbelievably rude. Forced to pay £12 for a 4 year old to nibble on some bread and a dish of fries. Given that 6 adults were paying for all you can eat the fact the toddler wasn’t allowed to share a very small amount of our dishes - that came to £170 is ridiculous. Service was also incredibly slow. They bring one dish every 10-15 mins so when there’s 6 of you sat there, there is just no flow or atmosphere. The opposite to what good tapas is about. Will never return and will never recommend just wish I had read the below reviews before booking. Save your money and choose from the many friendly, quality restaurants Ilkley has to offer because this certainly isn’t one of them.

This is 2nd time we have been. Really enjoyed 1st visit, 2nd time service appalling for a Tuesday night. Table booked for 5.45 , got there early didn't come out until 7.50! Wine we ordered ran out on Saturday, meats and cheese ordered didnt have selection of cheese offered ( we had to chase up this order) and had to ask for dessert menu - coffee arrived before dessert! When asked when paying how was service told them it was good not advisable to tell customer not welcome in restaurant and to f off especially when other customers agreed service not good and they'd been waiting 20 mins. The excuse they only had 1 chef on isn't a good enough reason.

Came here once for dinner and the food was great but I left feeling hungry (as I always do after having tapas). However, this time I came on the last Sunday of the month for the all you can eat deal for £20. The quality of the food was amazing and, unlike with some other all you can deals, they don't rush you out of the door when you're only just getting started! You obviously have a limited selection of dishes but there was still a wide range and, as I said before, the quality was amazing. Left feeling full,which was a first for a tapas meal!

What a shame. The food here was fresh, tasty and full of flavour. The whole experience was let down by the awful and rude service we received by one particular waitress who offended my sister and was just plain rude and abrupt and would talk back to us when we politely complained about something- never have we endured such bad service and each member of our party are extremely well travelled. My sister was just told 'apple juice' in response to if they had any non-alcoholic wine (with sarcasm in the tone of voice and attitude). When we ordered a non-alcoholic beer instead, we asked to exchange it as it tasted foul and not at all like other non-alcoholic beers to which the same waitress said....again with attitude and a rude tone....."well I drink a lot of beer and there is nothing wrong with that-----have you even had it before?!". When she came to deliver food she just dumped a dish down and said "i'm just going to dump this here". I could go on but I highly suggest this lady be dismissed or re-trained as it really soured our experience and left us insulted. Shame as the food really is delicious-----especially the gambas which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour.

I was not a tapas fan until I went to La Casita in Ilkley - I am now thoroughly converted having had the pleasure of several Saturday nights there with my wife. I can honestly say that the food is exceptional and I really struggle to limit myself to a sensible number of courses - I could easily polish off the entire menu (and three parfait deserts to share has now become the norm). It generally has a really nice and relaxed atmosphere and the service has always been attentive and helpful, particularly when we have been served by the very knowledgeable chap that I think is the manager. We generally like variety and to experience new restaurants - La Casita now has made that really hard and I am counting down the days until our next time.

Fabulous! The menu choices are really well thought out with something for every taste. The food was well presented and delicious. Service came with a smile and knowledgeable when helping us to choose dishes. Great selection of drinks too. Well done La Casita Ilkley - we’ll be back again.

This used to be one of my favourite places in Ilkley, but the service last night left much tobe desired. We were sat at the back of the restaurant and for about 15 minutes there was no visit to that area from any of smthe staff. When someone finalky came it was to serve the table next to us. She was still oblivious to our table and I had to stand up to get her attention. This level of attentiveness continued all night. It took over an hour for them to bring out a single dish. For a tapas restaurant I thought this was pretty lame. They could easily have brought out one or two dishes to keep us going. When I mentioned this to be fair they did bring out a couple of dishes.

Four of us visited yesterday and we all left still hungry. The food was ok but you need to order lots and lots of portions to feel like you’ve had enough to each. At roughly £6 pound a portion the bill soon adds up.

Very good tapas - and very substantial portions. The downside is the noise level inside the restaurant (outside in the arcade is quieter) and the speed - in and out in less than hour - if you plan a chatty evening.

There are some really great things about La Casita; the location, the wine, some of the dishes (the pork and apple, the scallops, the halloumi and churros were great). However, there are also some things which let it down. Our calamari had clearly been pre cooked and then microwaved meaning it was soggy. The order in which the food came out was also disappointing as we received all our sides last - two portions of potatoes and salad. Pointless when all our other dishes had been eaten earlier - a slight timing issue. All in all an OK evening but not entirely representative of true Spanish tapas.

Just spent the evening at this restaurant. We asked to move tables as the music speaker was just above us and it was hard to hear each other speak, waitress seemed surprised at our request.We ordered the meal and cheese selection which was the most expensive tapas on the menu, so we expected a decent sized portion and it was, then some fried potatoes and some calamari. The waitress said we hadn't ordered enough and suggested another dish, so we ordered the lamb. We also ordered 2 glasses of Sauvignon Blanc too.The food arrived and was lovely, we struggled to finish it all and didn't really need the extra dish.We ordered coffees and we asked for semi or skimmed milk, please note they only provide whole milk which neither of us have so we declined the coffees. The waitress seemed surprised that we didn't want whole milk. The bill then arrived and was £52.50. Each glass of wine was £8.50, which we considered way overpriced!!! Would I return, probably not.

Went here for my partners birthday. Online booking was easy, the menu was varied and explained well by our server. The food was delicious- dishes arriving as they were prepared meaning that the surprises just kept coming! Would definitely recommend the pork cheeks. We will be going back again

Great menu and different options from other tapas restaurants. Excellent food quality and great value for money, as a vegetarian I was very impressed with the options available. If you're a gin drinker there is an excellent array of gins available too. Would definitely recommend

Visited on a Sunday with my sister and husband, booking is advisable as it was quite busy .unfortunately all the outside tables were taken, this area is very pretty as it is undercover in a victorian arcade and there are fairy lights etc. However inside was nice too. We had a selection of 9 tapas which were brought to the table at intervals so we weren't overwhelmed with plates. Every dish was delicious and large enough for the three of us to share. Wine was £20 a bottle and the recommended white was very good. The bill came to £25 per person which was good value for monst. Definitely will return.

I took my Dad for dinner here at the weekend as it was his Birthday, and it was incredible service from the start. We had some of their speciality cocktails before our food arrived which were really nice, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. From the next table's waiter wishing my Dad a happy Birthday when he saw the cards on the table to our waiter making the meal extra special, I can't thank the staff enough for such an enjoyable evening. The food was delicious too, and the menu offers something really unique in Ilkley and the surrounding towns.

I decided to shoot over the tops to eat in ilkley for yet another birthday meal for my mum and had decided what we wanted but then noticed La Casita. The young girl who served us was lovely I think she was called Laura and couldn't do enough for us. Food was amazing but sadly no one in which I believe it needed something like a 3 Tapas for £... or a bottle of wine with etc , but instead of a quick cheap meal it ended up being nearly £50 which isn't allot but we weren't drinking and all deals were off today. I felt after looking at the bold lettering on the outside menu 3 Tapas for I think £11 would had suited us and our quick lunch. The one thing that we thought was a little tasteless and chewy was the pork. Everything else was lovely, staff and place spotless. Don't expect a cheap lunch though unless you time it on that day of the year where there is a Sunday lunch deal on....

We visited here last Saturday with friends, knowing we also had a table for two booked for a week later for my birthday. Neither couple had been here before, but we are all fans of tapas and the reviews looked good. We ordered a varied selection of dishes which, when they arrived at the table, all looked rather pale and insipid. They all tasted OK, but they didn't live up to expectations. We asked for sangria and we were recommended to try the cava sangria. So we did. But it was extremely sweet and we found out later that they had added peach schnapps, which was all we could taste. The red wine sangria we had afterwards was better, but again, it wasn't quite right. We had already had a table booked here a week later for my birthday and we were wondering how it would turn out. We needn't have worried. The dishes we chose were all wonderfully cooked and so tasty. We mentioned it to the manager, who admitted that the previous week had been a trainee chef! A huge difference in taste, presentation and overall authenticity. We were recommended to try a Prosecco Marguerite and it was stunning. The warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and tomato salsa was a perfect start to our meal. I'd highly recommend: chicken strips, king prawns in garlic and chilli, calamari, potato with tomato, garlic and sour cream, the pork was superb and you must try the avocado, pomegranate and mango salad - we loved this dish so much, we had seconds. We also enjoyed a bottle of white Rioja which really complemented the dishes. Afterwards, we asked for an espresso martini, which sadly they couldn't do for us. So Jess suggested we tried the strawberry sorbet with a side measure of pink gin to pour over. Picture is attached. It was wonderful. We loved it and even suggested it to fellow diners at the next table. We then enjoyed espresso coffees. We had been given a table out on the mezzanine as requested and I can't recommend this enough. Much cooler (it was a hot evening!) and quieter too. A perfect birthday dinner. We will be back again soon!

I visited La Casita for my birthday after a previously enjoyable visit. The food is still excellent as are the drinks. However our waitress was very pushy and our bill was incorrect at the end of the meal. We were overcharged £26 and the waitress argued with us about it, which was upsetting and ruined the visit. They also include a portion bread on the 2 for £9 offer when it was only a couple of quid. We don't care how much things cost if they are correct and I do not expect to be argued with when in fact the mistake was yours. We will not be visiting again.

First time last night. Couldn't fault it apart from the price of the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc. We both enjoy Marlborough White, but at £35 per bottle that is £6 in Asda that is sheer profiteering. Comments from the Management please.

My wife and I ate here during a recent trip to Ilkley. We have dined here before and they lived up to our expectations. We each had 3 tapas and if we had been a bit earlier we could have got them for £13 (prior to 6:30). The special was Dover Sole in breadcrumbs with aioli - which was very hot and a large portion. Calamari was good as was the mushrooms in a delicious sauce. The chicken strips were fabulous. The menu is not hugely extensive but there is enough for even the most discerning of palates to find something good to eat. The wine list is similarly not extensive but has some good wines at decent value for money.

We visited on Saturday night with a group of friends. The location is great in the Victorian Arcade. The restaurant has a nice outside seating area, which was heated and inside it's modern with reclaimed wooden tables. The atmosphere was lively as it was busy with most tables taken. The waitress was very polite and recommended a £15 per head deal, which we went with. So everything about the surroundings was taken care of, however food wise I wasn't bowled over. For what worked out at £35 per head including wine, the amount of food you actually get is minimal. The dishes were ok, but man does not live on a meat ball, two prawns, a few potatoes, a small portion of salad and a ham hock crocket alone. The desserts were better as you got an individual portion, the flavours were good but presentation wasn't too flash. I totally appreciate if tapas is not your thing to start with, visiting this restaurant was never going to float your boat, however, having given it my best shot, I came away feeling underwhelmed. If the food that came had been bang on the money sensational then I would have understood the concept. As it wasn't, I didn't.
