The Little Taperia in Wandsworth

Delicious, authentic food, friendly staff, great ambience. Highly recommend chorizo tortilla, octopus, garlic prawns and salt cad fritters 😋 The reason I'm giving 4 stars is the order in which the food is served. I hadn't realised before, but we've been twice recently and all the fish/veg is served first, then all the meat/potato dishes later. I'd very much like to have some potatoes with my fish! It's a bit heavy having the tortilla, patatas bravas, albondigas and chicken together. I'd personally rather it was all mixed up. Perhaps theirs is the traditional way? I'll ask next time! That being said, it was all delicious. Highly recommend.

Go to spot for tapas. Lovely little restaurant with a varied menu. The food is fresh and has great flavours, service is attentive and generally quite fast although some dishes take longer to cook.

Great food. Very attentive staffs. The black ink squid rice is a must try.

Food was delicious and the service was good and relatively fast. Unfortunately we had a table in a pathway in the back part of the restaurant which was not a particularly nice place to sit. The front of the restaurant would probably be a more pleasant experience.

La comida era muy buena. Le dije al personal que estábamos allí por un cumpleaños. Hicieron un esfuerzo para que el cumpleañero se sintiera especial.

Delicious small plates but of good size, great flavours and the sangria was on point. Very cute atmosphere and service was fab.

Absolutely love this place - our favourite in Tooting. Fast, fresh, friendly, authentic and never disappoints. Would give 6 stars if you could! 💫

I really enjoyed having lunch with my friends here. The amazing guy who served us made the experience memorable, and we will definitely come back!

Very quick and attentive service. Fantastic food (especially the morcilla scotch egg). Also very delicious cocktails!

Our favourite restaurant in Tooting. The staff, food and atmosphere are really special, feels like a little haven away from all the noise of London. Highly recommend. Quite expensive so is a treat night.

Amazing food. Very good service and really special delicious food. Would come back in a heartbeat!

We had such a good time at the Little Taperia! The sangría was delicious and the tapas was really tasty. There’s a great range on the menu. The atmosphere here is really great and the staff are very friendly and attentive.

My partner and I had a super delicious meal here last night. The atmosphere is friendly and intimate. The portions are very good for a tapas restaurant and the quality of the food was excellent. We sat right in front of the kitchen and got to watch them work their magic— would definitely recommend!

Love this place.. try and get seated in tbe front, food alway the star

Very friendly service Nice selection of tapas dishes.

Had a fabulous time yesterday! Great food and the service was second to none. Served by Igor who was attentative throughout. Thanks very much and will be back soon.

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic tapas and a great dining experience! I had an amazing experience here. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was in great portions and absolutely delicious and freshly made. The service was warm and welcoming as well. A great place to hang out with friends and share a variety of dishes.

Amazing food - a little pricey but so worth it for the quality of food and flavour! Recommend :)

La comida es muy cara. Algunos platos son buenos otros bastante promedio. Había muy poco pulpo en el plato de pulpo a la parrilla y las salsas sabían a conserva. No volvería a ir.

Generous portions, good quality, lovely decor, friendly and efficient service

The tapas here is delicious! Lots of classics done very well - I recommend the tortilla with runny egg, padrón peppers and fried goat's cheese, but everything I've tried has been fantastic-tasting and great quality. There is also an extensive menu of cocktails, which are always expertly made. Service is very friendly and courteous, with staff wanting to make sure that everything is okay with your meal.

Pricey but seriously tasty. Went here for an early dinner, was very popular later on so book ahead. Had a variety of tapas, shared bottle of red and finished with a beer. Food was excellent throughout and the staff very nice. It's not cheap, which is the only reason to not give 5 stars (a decent amount of food, half a bottle of wine each and a beer each came to over £60 per person with service charge) but you can't argue with the quality of the food and we were given a liquor at the end. Would definitely go again as an occasional treat.

Amazing place, did a last minute booking as our dinner plans fell through. Incredible food and drinks with lovely attentive service with johan and all the the other staff. Super wholesome place definitely a new regular spot could not recomend more!

Had a party of 20 here for my birthday and everything was excellent. Alberto the manager was really helpful beforehand and his team were super attentive on the night. All the food was incredible and the atmosphere was great

Been to this restaurant a couple of times and doesn’t disappoint. Food is great - stand outs are the padron peppers, prawns in garlic in olive and chili, chicken with chimichurri and lamb chops. Staff are always friendly and the restaurant has a nice cozy atmosphere.

Experiencia de muy alta calidad. Buenos ingredientes bellamente mezclados, la cocina casera crucialmente no se reduce excesivamente o sala. Honesta y muy recomendable.

Food was divine!! All dishes were delicious and extremely reasonable prices. We had Po as our waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I will be back for sure!

Had lunch for my Birthday 🎈 it’s was great loved each dish. Would definitely come back ! 😍

Fenomenal. Encantadora noche - celebrando el cumpleaños 17 de mi hijo. La comida era genial y el ambiente era súper. El equipo le cantó Feliz cumpleaños anoche. No arruinará la sorpresa de cómo lo hicieron - reserve usted mismo un cumpleaños allí para averiguarlo : )

Great food and really delicious sangria.

Brilliant little spot, food was lovely. Won't be the last time I visit.

Una vez más, Little Tap demuestra que siempre se puede confiar en él para ofrecer tapas de maravillosa calidad y un ambiente acogedor agradable, y todo a un precio muy razonable. ¡Fabuloso!

I'm not a big fan of Spanish restaurants in London because the food never feels authentic. Little Taperia is a great exception, the most delicious Spanish food I've ever had in London. I ordered a potato tortilla and was asked if I wanted runny or well done, which was great to be asked, and it was so delicious. I also had croquetas, patatas bravas and arroz negro - this one is superb! Great flavours, great presentation, great service and I was even jealous of other people's orders. Really recommended!

Solid menu with some interesting bits too. We got there pretty late so a couple of the plates didn’t look that fresh (which is understandable), but everything tasted great. Nice table wear - the little blue rimmed white plates looked good. Cant fault the staff, they were really on point; actually one of our party wasn’t drinking so they brought us a thimble of desert wine one of them was a colourful non-alcoholic alternative. Nice touch.

Among my favourite places in London.

Excellent time spent at the restaurant. Food as well as service were both really top tier.

Had a lovely meal here. The tapas dishes were delicious, although I thought the salt cod croquettes could have done with a little bit more salt cod, but that's my personal taste! The food was well cooked and plentiful - a particular favourite were the black pudding scotch eggs. The service was warm, attentive and helpful - we had the sauvignon blanc which was sweeter than we were used to as recommended and which, perfectly complimented our meal. We were both full so sadly, no room for desert but would have loved to have the tried the churros. The menu was very helpful to anyone with dietary requirements. We hope and look forward to, coming back.

One of the best Spanish restaurants I have been to in London (can see why it reviews so well)! Favourite dishes were the arroz negro and ox cheeks. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning!

Authentic, fresh and delicious food! The French margarita is a must try.

Very nice restaurant had a lovely evening thank you.

This place is just absolute perfection when it comes to Tapas. Wow.

Our lovely little neighbourhood go to.. my perfect order: ham croquettes, sourdough bread, fennel endive & orange salad, ribeye steak & Catalan spinach with raisins and pine nuts. Beautiful food, wine and atmosphere.

Had a wonderful tapas meal here that was so simple yet so delicious! Bread with crushed tomatoes and Iberian ham, shrimp with garlic and hot peppers, mini chorizo sausages made with red wine, and roasted peppers crusted with a bit of salt! Also can’t forget the sliced bread, toasted and served with salted olive oil. Unbelievably satisfying! Thank you LT!

Superb food atmosphere and service. Because of that, make sure you book

Have visited little Taperia twice now and absolutely love it. Food is amazing and there’s ample choice. Our favourites are the steak and patatas bravas. On our most recent visit, our server Sophie was incredible. She was super friendly and the perfect level of attentiveness, providing us with everything we needed quickly and with a smile! Definitely recommend.

Overall, this was a distinctly average and rather disappointing experience, especially compared to the glowing reviews on here. A tortilla is a simple dish that nevertheless showcases the skill of tapas chefs - the best I have eaten were lightly set and rich in flavour. The tortilla here was dry and stodgy. Chicken skewers were also dry. The spinach and croquetas were tasty and pull this score up from 2 to 3. Churros were excellent but not all desserts on the menu were available. Paid £50 for 4 dishes and an appetiser of almonds - felt like a bit of a rip off.

Delicious food, great vibes and immaculate service! We had such a fun lunch here and will definitely be back!

Great little place for sharing food - authentic Spanish dishes with delish flavours. Service friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

Food and cocktails were really delicious and servers were really helpful. Our favourites were the scotch eggs and cauliflower steak.

Amazing dinner in an intimate but buzzy restaurant. We'll definitely be returning

¡Un lugar encantador! Fue una visita encantadora con mi familia. Sin duda recomendaría y volveré pronto

I've had some very average tapas in my time and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this was. A gem of a find!

We have come here a couple times and love this place, such a good menu, there are so many dishes we’ve enjoyed. It’s not too expensive at all and the drinks are fantastic. The service has always been on point and very attentive. We’ve also been given a complimentary shot at the end which is such a nice touch.

A beautiful spot in Tooting! Fantastic food and service! I booked for my partners birthday meal and they went above and beyond to make it special. Highly recommend.

Excellent tapas, great service. Will be back!

Lovely service, good little tapas plates & great vibe

Great food & service. The staff accommodated my mum who was on a wheel chair.

Service was really attentive and the staff knew the menu well so were able to give us scrumptious recommendations. We loved all the small plates! The food was fresh and full of unique flavours.

Great, if v noisy at times, atmosphere on Saturday night. Staff v attentive and food was great especially the salad which was so moreish. 2 small criticisms - £9.50 for a glass of wine was IMO a bit high and the salted cod didn’t taste of salt or cod. This is me being niggly. Everything else food wise was excellent. I’d definitely go back and recommend it.

Food and service were great. Unfortunately we were sat next to a table of 6 very loud, sweary women. It was often hard to hear each other speak. Not the restaurants fault.

There’s a lot of Spaniards here. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I had an awesome evening with my two friends here on a Saturday night. The food is absolutely delicious - it really reminded me of happy days spent in Madrid before lockdowns. The waiter let us know when there were two bits to a dish rather than the three of us which was super helpful. Really loved it. Highly recommend!

Great little find, I cycle past each day and decided to book for dinner, it didn’t disappoint, great food, attentive and excellent service and great cocktails too. Will definitely be back!

Excellent place: lovely food, lovely cocktails, very kind and welcoming staff!! Will come back!

Seis de nosotros, cuatro adultos y dos adolescentes, vinimos a almorzar muy tarde y no pudimos haber encontrado un mejor lugar para comer. Los adolescentes se habían llenado de papas fritas antes (mal error), así que no tenían hambre, pero todos disfrutamos de todo lo que comimos. Fue excelente: los buñuelos de bacalao salado y las maravillosas espinacas con piñones y pasas vinieron para elogios especiales, pero no había nada que nos pareció menos que delicioso. No puedo comentar sobre el ambiente, ya que éramos las únicas personas allí (era media tarde, así que probablemente no era un momento popular), pero el entorno era agradable, al igual que el servicio. Dos de nosotros estábamos de visita desde fuera de Londres, pero muy felizmente volvería de nuevo. Era mucho mejor que nuestros dos restaurantes de tapas locales, y siempre nos había parecido que eran buenos. Un gran hallazgo.

Great food and service, will definitely be going back.

Edit 30 June 2024 Went for a family birthday and could not be more impressed! Absolutely perfect service, with the right amount of attention and care. Fantastic food! Not all were to our liking but most were super especially the octopus and meatballs and salted fish cakes!! Love the aubergine bakes and the cheese selection! Very reasonable and would definitely go back!!! Amazing guys, thank you! *********************** Quaint and really good service, unfortunately food isn't great. Shame really, as I want to love it, and in the past it's had really good food, but it was distinctly average and lacking punch. The octopus was bland, so was the tortilla, scotch eggs. The prawns and chorizo was good. Might have been a one off, but please please please improve the food and use decent quality products. The tomatoes are very watery and lack taste on the tomato bread. Good luck!

The food was just the best! The staff the friendliest and the prices so reasonable!

Nice business, nice food. Ordered the Patatas Bravas and Aubergine with tomato and manchego. Yum👍👍

Too pricey for the amount of food you get. Very small portions of tapas and it tastes alright.

Buen negocio acogedor con personal amable y buena comida. Pedido las Patatas Bravas y Berenjena con tomate y manchego. Yum 👍

Had such a good time this evening. Good was amazing, each tapas bit was lovely and perfect size for sharing. Was looked after by Alayna, and the other shirt wearing man! Such good service, could not ask for better- and treated me so well on my birthday! Thank you!

Excellent tapas bar with many vegetarian options, reasonably priced drinks, well crafted items, and friendly staff. Whilst the atmosphere is slightly claustrophobic, it is not unlike tapas bars in Spain itself, so no complaints there. All in all, Little Taperia is an awesome place!

One of the better Spanish restaurant. The price is also reasonable. Totally love every dish we have ordered. We were served by smiley and friendly staffs. We will definitely be coming back more often.

Very good food, lovely people running the restaurant, and a comprehensive menu. Each plate is meant to be shared by 2 people, portions are generous so good value overall. Brunch menu available over the weekend (min 2 people taking it). Both seabass and presa iberica were a bit salty (in British terms, though; Mediterranean cuisine doesn't mind..)

Food came so quick and was all delicious

Lovely little tapas restaurant in Tooting. Food was spectacular and very reasonably priced. Will be going back.

Rara vez escribo una crítica, pero me sentí obligado a hacerlo como una forma de agradecimiento. Así que por favor encontramos este pequeño restaurante! La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era excepcional - con la camarera ofreciendo consejos, recarga de agua y nuestras copas durante toda la noche. Mi hija y yo tuvimos una noche muy especial. Gracias.

Our local Fri date-night spot when we get a babysitter. The presa iberica rivals most top quality beef steaks that I've had. All round great experience and you can tell that it's popular by how full it gets.

Perfectly cooked octopus and fantastic prawns in garlic and chilli oil. Staff very attentive

Really tasty cocktails if you’re looking for a drink full of flavour and properly made

One of our favourite restaurants and our go-to place for Spanish tapas. We keep going back and always have great food and service.

Unbelievable food. Delicious. The scotch eggs (black pudding and quail egg) were next level. A nice surprise, albeit left field for a tapas restaurant. As was the blue cheese salad (ie, a Waldorf). Potatas bravas didn’t disappoint, and the lamb cutlets were amazing. Friendly service. Food came out quick. And nice to support a local. Top marks all round.

Wonderful taperia - excellent seeing and food.

Little Taperia is always just what you want and need. It is an unassuming place to enjoy extremely well cooked, delicious food in a truly relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. It is no wonder why it is often full of happy faces when you walk past!

I’ve just been to the restaurant for my brother’s birthday treat. On entering it felt like stepping into Spain, the cool vibe and the menu spoke volumes. If you have any dietary requirements, it’s mentioned beside the dish and the staff are very hospitable .

Had a really great time here for our friend’s 30th! Great atmosphere

Great, buzzing, local spot with excellent food and service. Mushroom Croquetas were a must order.

Food was very nice albeit not the same as it would taste in Spain(obviously)but very good for this country.punchy in price but the service was immaculate so you don’t mind spending that bit more. All staff were attentive, polite , friendly and switched on. Great place to go to

My favourite restaurant in Tooting

Lovely atmosphere with friendly and very prompt service. Good food too.

Love this place! Beautiful food, great service and a great variety of options. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area or not!

Really lovely little restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyable evening, great service and even better food.

Served cheap serrano ham for "iberico de bellota". Food average at the most!

Been living local to this place for years and go often, it’s so good. Really nice food, great service and good value for money.

Les tapas sont super bons. Cependant la fourchette est très élevée. Les tapas sont succulents mais très chers pour la quantité.

We seven adults and two kids had a meal. The food was lovely and the service was excellent.

Tasty but pricey. Nice atmosphere on a busy Friday evening. The food was nice but nothing wow except the bill. 2 tapas and 2 beers for just over £40…

Consistently excellent food whenever I have visited. The boquerones and squid ink rice in particular are standouts. The morcilla scotch eggs and churros are also very good and worth tasting.

Delicious food with good service. Friendly staff.
