Estefania helped me make my boyfriend's lockdown birthday special and enjoyable! It was a really lovely experience and the food was mind-blowingly delicious, we both loved it! Thank you so much - or muchas gracias :)

Estefania hosted a private Zoom Tapas Cooking Class for me and my partner and 4 of our friends last Friday to celebrate a birthday. It was such a wonderful experience, we learnt so much about tapas and prep and cooking techniques whilst drinking good wine in the comfort of our own homes. Thank you for making it a birthday to remember!

We had the pleasure of a cooking class for 6 people for a birthday celebration. Estefanía was organised, a great teacher and it was fun experience. The food was amazing. We would highly recommend the class and Que Rico Tapas.

Delicious food! Our family (parents and two kids, ages 3 and 8) regularly go to the Que Rico tapas events hosted by Cambridge Wine Merchants in Cherry Hinton. We've had such lovely Sunday afternoons trying new dishes and meeting up with friends. Our son loves, loves, loves Spanish meatballs and omelettes, while my daughter has developed quite a taste for various cheeses. What makes it a really special experience is the warmth and friendliness of the owner and chef, Estefania, whom our kids adore. Really looking forward to our next meal with Que Rico!

My wife and I attended a Sunday Tapas pop-up at Cambridge Wine Merchants. All we can both say is WOW! Estafania really takes pride in her food and really puts her heart in it. We had a culinary tour of Spain through her food- she would explain every dish, what’s in it and which region it’s from. These Sunday tapas events represent stonkingly good value for money too. Book an event! You won’t regret it

I had the pleasure to taste Estefania's food several times and I always loved it. Estefania creates a wonderful mixture of traditional and modern Spanish cuisine. Her food is always delicious, freshly made using the best ingredients and it's a pleasure to look at. Plus, all her recipes are carefully thought through to provide a balance nutrition to nurture the body as well as to please the taste buds! I can highly recommend her for events or as a cooking experience!

Great food! Authentic and very tasty! For me, the empanada was the queen of tapas but they were all very, very delicious...

A really excellent experience! Que Rico Tapas catered for a family party - delicious food, delivered on time with clear instructions about how everything should be served, in attractive containers that could go straight to the buffet table. I would heartily recommend them as a catering company.

I recently attended the Molecular Gastronomy course. Everything was well explained, the processes were easier than I was expecting and I can’t wait to start making my own creations. Thank you- I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Estefania and her wonderful helpers brought us some great tapas for our wedding celebration. We had close to 50 guests in our small garden and they all left praising the food and the friendliness of Estefania, Susie and Ruby. They came, set up, cooked and cleaned the kitchen without us even noticing! It allowed us to enjoy our guest as opposed to being slave to the kitchen as in other parties. I completely recommend Que Rico Tapas for the professionalism, as well as the tasty food they prepare! Now I just have to think of other reasons to hire them! (I copied this post after I wrote it on their facebook page)

Estefania cooked our family the most wonderful meal to help us celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday and graduation. Truly one of the best meals we've ever eaten, beautifully cooked, careful attention to detail and all presented with personal pride and with care for us as a family. An unforgettable evening for everyone, thank you :)

Estefania presented a superb 3 course meal for Willingham Wine Appreciation Society at Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cherry Hinton Rd on Saturday may 12th. The food was superb and excellently served despite the limited conditions she had to work with. This was for our annual dinner, and the evening was a great success as it was a great opportunity to have great food matched with really good wines. Thank you very much Estefania, to you and your team. Clive & Cat

Estafania came to our home to provide 12 of us with a specially chosen menu for my birthday - somewhere between tapas and a 5 course meal. Truly delicious. We couldn’t decide whether our favourite was the homemade croquettas de pollo or the beef cheeks - or even just the sharing platter of authentic Spanish meats and cheeses. Everything was served in a relaxed and friendly way and apart from our wine glasses we had no clearing up to do. Fantastic!

Amazing, authentic Spanish tapas served by the fabulous Estefania! The food alone is fantastic, but I am also highly recommending Que Rico for special occasions because Estefania's style and friendliness will make the experience that much richer. Pick Que Rico - you won't regret it!

Truly scrummy, authentic flavours of Spain, in the shape of innovative and traditional tapas cooked for you or with you for the full experience! I have attended 2 events at Cambridge Wine Merchants, a fantastic 5 course taste experience from different regions with wines to match each course. Estefania also provided a brilliant party with a difference when she divided my guests into teams and taught each group to make different tapas. It was hilarious, entertaining and everyone had a fantastic evening. Highly recommend for any private event.

I have been using "Que rico tapas" in three different occasions, one for a company event and two for personal events. The experience has been fantastic in all three. I was positively surprised specially on the company event since even though we could not provide a room where it could be easy for them to make the final arrangements that they needed, they managed to successfully get everything ready and provide the catering to nearly 100 people. Good quality and very reliable service. I would definitely use it again.

I had eaten Que Rico Tapas at Cambridge wine merchants, which was excellent and I had no hesitation to book them for a corporate event we held on Waternimf the luxuary barge hotel in Ely. Estefania was a delight to work with, making menu suggestions which took into consideration a non-mushroom eating vegetarian, a pescatarian and a nut allergy. She and her staff served beautifully presented canapes followed by five courses, each matched by wines from Cambridge Wine Merchants. The dishes were universally praised and were beautifully suited to the occasion, and weather. The whole evening was perfect, couldn't make any suggestions for improvement. We will most likely book Que Rico again.

If I could give seven stars, I would. Attended a "Cocktails and Tapas" evening for which the chef/owner made five delicious tapas and worked with a mixologist to present each dish paired with a cocktail, and narrated the significance of each dish along the way. It was phenomenally tasty, interesting, and a lot of fun. Would absolutely recommend ¡Que Rico! Tapas to anyone.

Having sampled tapas from around Spain last year at the CWM tapas evenings , I decided to get Estefania (owner) to cater for our party of 25. We had 5 wonderful courses with matching wines (supplied by CWM)and the food and service was as usual, outstanding. If you are looking for something a bit different for a party (big or small), do not hesitate to contact Estefania and you will not be disappointed.

These tapas are absolutely incredible - authentic, flavoursome and full of unusual, exotic ingredients. Each dish is beautifully presented and Estefania's explanations offer a fascinating insight into Spanish culture. She is even responsible for a member of our group getting over his hatred of aubergines! Really looking forward to the next tapas evening at Cambridge Wine Merchants.

Course after delicious course of authentic Spanish flavours at an evening hosted by Cambridge Wine Merchants; we didn't leave a thing and could hardly move after. Estefania explained the origin of the dishes and some of the ingredients and Alice helped us wash it down with some beautifully matched wines. I would highly recommend this organised Tapas event at CWM for an unusual and entertaining evening and, having employed QueRicoTapas on other occasions, for private parties and for team-building events, I know Estefania is a master of her art and always goes way beyond expectations.

Had a wonderful tapas and wine tasting evening with a group of friends at The Cambridge Wine Company. Food and evening organised by Que Rico Tapas. So friendly, authentic and scrumptious!

Que Rico is really more of a catering company, and if I were entertaining I would definitely consider their services. I actually ate at Estefania's home and it was amazingly delicious. The Spanish omelet, melon soup (and I don't even really like melon!), the chorizo pastries, it was amazing. I got some of the stuffed peppers to take home with me because I was so full from everything else. And Estefania is such a lovely woman, so warm and friendly. Just eat her food. Eat it ALL.

Loving tapas took another dimension after tasting Estafania's wonderful tasty Tapas menu on several occasions. She is a master in her art, and her cooking makes you feel like you are in Spain. Once you taste delicious Que Rico Tapas, you want seconds and thirds. It's that amazing.

I enjoyed a pop up night for Que Rico Tapas at Cambridge Wine Merchants in April. The food was fantastic and the chef, Estephania, was warm, engaging and answered all of my questions about the tapas. She gave our table a great wine paring suggestion, too. A great evening!

What a fabulous evening! You might think you know Tapas, but think again! Estefania created food which looked lovely and tasted delicious! Her passion for her food and her knowledge is such that I learnt about things I’ve never had before, and then ate them! The wonderful combination of Tapas that Estefania created were amazing, and so different to anything I‘ve had before. Her food is truly Que Rico Tapas! I shall be back for more!! I highly recommend Que Rico Tapas and Estefania!!!

Every year we have our Book Club Christmas 'do' at Cambridge Wine in Cherry Hinton and this year we wanted a Spanish theme so Alice suggested QRT . We chose the wine and the food was organised accordingly and it was fab! Went so well with all our wine and we had an explanation of each tapas as it came out. Such a pleasant and knowledgeable host and will definitely use QRT for future events at home.

I booked Que Rico Tapas for my sister's hen do in September for 11 people in a cottage in Ely. What fantastic food! Every course was amazing and the girls absolutely loved all of it, especially the gin and tonic sorbet :) great idea for a social event such as a hen do as you don't have to worry about cooking and everything was done ready for us.I would recommend this to anyone and Estefania was such a lovely friendly chef. The tapas made the weekend, thanks so much!

Went with a friend to Que Rico's pop-up tapas dinner at Espresso Library and had a great time. A varied and interesting tasting menu- I particularly like the courgette/mint soup (even though I don't normally like cold soups), and the peppers on toast, and although the mussels in the puree (was it ginger and parsnip, I can't remember?) wasn't my favourite I did very much enjoy its presentation in the fun sardine-tin thing. There was a lovely atmosphere, and great to see the chef herself come out to chat and explain a few dishes, with BYO on wine. Very reasonably priced. I would go again!

The atmosphere at the Esspresso Cafe in East Road was really good, matched by thewonderful food which was served up to the diners, at tables of 4 or 5 people, in a friendly yet professional manner. Each individual dish was beautifully presented and gave us the opportunity to savour unusual combinations and flavours. Wonderful!

I was looking for someone to cook Tapas for an event I was holding in my shop to promote my Spanish shoes and am so glad that I came across ¡Qué rico! Tapas ! Estefania wasn't even phased by the fact that I didn't have a kitchen for her to work in, doing much of the food preparation in advance so that she could assemble her creations in one of my stock rooms! And the food was not only incredibly tasty, but it was also beautifully presented. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

To celebrate my 40th birthday I wanted to organise a party at home with all my friends. It was a special occasion so I was looking for something unique. ¡Qué rico! Tapas did the trick! Lush food, well-presented in cute, small crockery, and paying attention to details. Even for Spanish people who know tapas quite well it was such a find. My guest were happy and had fun. And so did I!

I recently enjoyed a delicious 6-course Tapas lunch prepared by Estafania - a warm, enthusiastic and accomplished chef.Individual courses were prepared with great care: melon soup with fried Serrano ham; chicken croquettas; and Lemon Sorbet with Gin & Tonic gelatine. All her dishes were exquisite and brought the fresh taste of Spain to Cambridge.I highly recommend Estafania to cater for your dinner party, office event or as your personal chef at home customising your own authentic Spanish menu.

6 courses of perfectly-judged, utterly faultless and delicious food served to us in the comfort of our own home by an enthusiastic, accomplished (and very child-friendly) chef was a delight.All the advantages of going to a (very good) restaurant - without having to dress up, leave the house or arrange childcare.

For my 50th birthday I wanted to have a meal at home as it was a week day and the children had to go to school the next day. My family didn't want me to slave around the kitchen so Estefania from Que Rico Tapas was invited to cook us a delicious meal of Spanish Tapas. I felt really spoiled as in the comfort of my own home I could enjoy my birthday in full. Her food can be best described as the 'haute couture' of Spanish tapas. You can expect an evening of delicious food dished up in a relaxed pace and a clean and tidy kitchen afterwards. I can highly recommend Que Rico Tapas for a either a private or business event. And the price? Very reasonable - 6 courses for £ 35 p.p.

My favourite place to visit when near Cambridge. You could not ask for a more quintessential pub experience than at Chequers in Fowlmere. Everyone here is so kind, generous, and social. Chris and Jade are the best - love me some Struan! Even visitors feel like they've been going to this pub for years and are just part of the whole crew. Can't think of a better place to celebrate a birthday with friends, have a pint with your best friend, or just enjoy some fantastic British food and drink. Can't wait to go back again!

It was a Thursday lunch time when I visited. It was quiet with only four or five other customers. I was served quickly by friendly staff. The cheese scone and cake were good as was the coffee. The prices were reasonable making it reasonable value for money. Free WiFi was available, always a plus. Quite nice smart rustic decore, if that is not a contradiction. There is also an outside area to sir. I feel a bit mean 'only" giving it four stars; my head says it deserved five but my heart stopped giving it the full quota of stars. I have visited several times since my first visit, the latest in January 2022. In this latest visit I had a cherry frangipane tart and it was sublime; a nice crispy crust, soft frangipani, plenty of succulent cherries and a delicious pastry base. For this reason I have increased my initial 4-star review up to five. July 2022 - still great. June 2023 - still just as good. September 2023 - still great.

Pub or Restaurant? Looking at the environment. I always thought it was a local pub, because of the style of the building and interior decorations. Didn't know that it had room service until today. Nevermind. I have to continue my Cambridge pubs marathon. I may adjust the rating afterwards, as I haven't tried all of the Cambridge pubs yet. The menu is very limited, from mains to dessert. Nothing wrong to be specialised. But it would be a problem if the customers arrive as a group, not enough options for everyone. The food tasted okay. At least nothing in the plates taste bland. Everything was cooked and seasoned correctly. The chips and potatoes tasted good. The prices were not cheap. The environment was quiet and clean. Still not sure if it's a local restaurant or pub......
