Tintos Tapas in South Lanarkshire

This has quickly become one of favourite local restaurants!!!! Food is devine and the service first class !!!! Never disappoints!

There were 9 of us for dinner. The choices and the quality of food were excellent. Service and atmosphere first class. Very reasonable prices, which was a bonus. We'll be back.

My sister booked for a Tuesday evening, the food,staff and venue were all very good. Enjoyed all the dishes we ordered and the churros were first rate, only note would be all dishes arrived together although i have noticed this more and more as Tapas places become more popular, i always prefer it when they come spaced out especiallywith rhe limited table space. Would deffo return next time I visit East Kilbride.

Food is excellent. Service is beyond excellent. Highly recommend the churros. Anything off the main is great. Rest of the review is filler.

We visited after an afternoon in the nearby pub. It was busy and had a good atmosphere . it looks to have a bar downstairs but we were seated in the upstairs area. Standard of the food was above average and we all ordered 3 tapas for £14 each. I think we were brought some extra dishes as the table was full , All dishes were hot and tasted great. Staff were all very nice and chatty there was a real buzz about the place . They did not have the first bottle of wine we ordered butt ended up with a very good Spanish Rioja, I think it was more expensive than our first choice . Glad we went and will make it again after a visit to the pub. Good value for money.

Came here on a Sunday mid afternoon, they kindly fitted us in without a reservation. Lovely decor and a warm welcome. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and was happy to suggest dishes we could try. We opted for the set 3 tapas for £15 (approx) each. Everything was fresh and hot when it arrived. The Fried wild seasonal mushrooms, garlic sherry cream & garlic croutons and the Tortilla were our favorites. Will definitely visit again when I am back in the area.

Love this place, great atmosphere, helpful staff and delicious food and if tou go on a Tuesday its even better as the specials mean you can try lots on the menu and not break the bank - heading there next week.

A fantastic dining experience! Food is superb, I can't praise it enough! Staff are very helpful and attentive and the Irish coffee is to die for! Looking forward to my next visit!

Service was terrible. Over 1jr to get starters then one forgotten. Tapas serves to party at different times. One member waited over 1hr 30mins for meal. We asked to cancel and leave £66 for tapas and 2 drinks and food that was not great. Have been several times before and never had this standard off food or service. Dreadful.

Food is amazing.. service is excellent. Great choice. Can't find fault apart from toilets not the best , only one upstairs......... i love this restaurant though, food is top drawer. You won't be disappointed . 👍👍👍

Great meal. Served a table of 8 with no issues. Food was delicious and staff were absolutely great. Highly recommended.

Here on business with a colleague and we’re recommended this for dinner. Has it was a Tuesday majority of tapas dishes were only £2.50 each. Although they were busy and we hadn’t booked they found us a table and promised food would be delivered quickly as table was needed. Well they did not disappoint food arrived promptly and was delicious, and a bargain due to the deal. Service was also exceptional. Would revisit and recommend but advisable to book. Churros which we had to take away were worth a mention, define and chocolate sauce was amazing.

Loved this unexpected find. Small but perfect restaurant on a 2.75 per tapas dish Tuesday special night. Delicious food and very good staff - definitely going back and recommend

Had booked movie Oppenheimer in East Kilbride for 8pm. Booked a table for 4 for 6.15pm. We arrived a bit earlier at around 6.05pm. This was my first experience of Tapas anywhere. Ordered food and took the advice of some of the others. By 7.05pm our soft drinks were drunk and we still hadn't received our order. It's not as though the place was particularly busy. I complained to who I assumed was the owner and was given an apology. Soon after that, the food arrived. My friend and I had ordered what I think was sea bass - if he got the daddy sea bass, then I got the baby. Not the best start. We got 2 free battered chicken goujon-type items for free, presumably to make up for the late service. My companions felt that the Uddingston branch was far better, and said some items were over-cooked. I wouldn't know, never having been before. As I said, this was my first experience of Tapas. I have a feeling it will be my last. We made it in time for the movie. Just.

I wish to preface this review by stating that I currently work in the hospitality industry and have done so for many years - due to this I am sympathetic to servers as I understand precisely how challenging this industry is - particularly if there is short-staffing or other challenging circumstances. I do acknowledge as well that there was only one server and this does create understandable delays and set-backs with service. With this being acknowledged I witnessed poor task prioritisation tonight by the server and this led to a glass and spillage hazard beside two tables (one of which had a young child) being blatantly ignored. A child had accidentally dropped a glass filled with liquid on the way to the toilet and the server immediately seen that this happened. At this point, and I say this as someone with experience, tasks such as making cocktails, cleaning vacant tables and singing happy birthday to a customer are NOT a priority. The main priority is safely and effectively cleaning up the spillage and removing the glass debris in a timely manner. The father of the child had to go down on his knees to pick up the glass and could have easily injured himself and even after saying to the server about the spillage the spillage was not prioritised - in fact the glass was still broken sitting on the table where the father had placed it even by the time the family had went up to the counter to pay and leave. I cannot emphasis enough how irresponsible it was of the server to not prioritise the safety of customers. I am all for giving hospitality workers the benefit of the doubt it is a difficult industry and it can be challenging to manage various competing priorities at once - but this blatant ignorance to hazard safety is dangerous and problematic and should be addressed. With all respect, please take this matter seriously and learn from it. Food safety and customers safety is of the upmost importance. Also, food was really late and not very warm so that added to the whole bad experience. In addition food was delivered by the chef who seemed confused and struggled to find the tables - he also seemed frustrated at the server. Honestly, it has put me off going back.

The food was mediocre at best and there was no soap in the ladies toilets, which we were told would be sorted but wasn’t. There are many other restaurants in the area with a much higher standard of food. I won’t waste my money here again. On a positive note the staff were very friendly.

Absolutely the best restaurant in The Village. We love visiting Tinto any time we can. It's perfect for family, friends, a date or just a, "lets not cook" night. I've been through most of the dishes at this point and they are all excellent. I've never been even slightly disappointed with an evening here. Service is attentive without being intrusive or pushy and the prices are very reasonable. Recommended

Fantastic food and service from all the staff in this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Whilst the restaurant was busy, the staff were still very attentive. Thank you!

Looking for local restaurants me and my sister walked past Tinto Tapas, located in the village. From the moment of arriving we were quickly and politely attended to by Josh, who was more than helpful and courteous. The food choices were mostly fish based and...

We visited Tinto's EK 3rd Feb. Unfortunately I booked the wrong date. Josh helped us immediately sort it out, he was exceptionally professional, kind, and understanding as to my reasoning behind my mistake. He organised a table, service was 5 star and food was lovely!...

Visited with my partner and her cousin on day 1 of our holiday and tried loads of different tapas and some wine! Very impressed with the variety, flavour combinations and staff! Highly recommend for anyone visiting East Kilbride

Really enjoyed the food. my friends seemed to enjoy cocktails too. Would visit here again. Sadly didn’t get photos. Also went into bar downstairs after for few drinks good atmosphere, nice wee booth in the window.

Advice to anyone thinking about use the takeaway option: Don't. Very disappointed. During the pandemic we once ordered a take away service from this restaurant and it was amazing, fantastic value, great portion size. The change now is drastic. The tapas portions are tiny, and...

It started with them overcharging for a takeaway, despite saying it was £11.95 for three tapas the bill was over £38 for 9 tapas. When challenged I was shown the restaurant price then something mumbled about they have just changed. Maths is clearly not a...

I recently visited with friends for lunch and overall it was a good meal. There’s lots of options and vegetarians catered for with plenty selection. We each got three dishes which was the right amount. Food arrived nice and hot and everyone enjoyed their food....

Distinctly average nothing exciting about any of the food very bland not a lot of taste to any of it. Garlic prawns couldn’t taste garlic. Tomato on toast soggy not up to scratch. Lot of the fried things very very greasy. Not a great atmosphere...

I had booked a table for 6 for a birthday night out with friends. Unfortunately at the last minute two friends couldn't make it. When we arrived they had only set a table for 3 and we advised there would be four of us so...

Eat here for dinner regularly and restaurant staff are brilliant however went to the bar one night to be told me and my partner would not be served a drink due to the amount of people. I have never heard anything like it. A pub...

We handed over a 10% off voucher, which was not taken off the bill. We ordered Pan Mixt which was not served. Otherwise the food was good.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. When we arrived we were shown to our table. 1 chair was missing and the waiter walked off leaving my husband to get his own. We asked for 2 diet cokes and was given flat...

We were present our food and told we had 10 minutes to eat and leave. Manger was extraordinarily rude, shouting at our table so much so the rest of the guests went quiet and stared. Food wasn't great either. Avoid if you want to enjoy...

Found this wee gem 💎 by chance Beautiful fresh colorful food could easily rival bigger well known chains Menu of the day was delicious 😋

Oh dear! So we arrived to be put at an unwelcoming small table facing a wall beside the entrance for the staff to the bar and ignored for 10 minutes... Asked to be moved and to be fair we were moved to another table but...

Been here many times and food is always great but service almost always a disappointment . Servers were great this time and clear that it is a case of being understaffed and no reflection on the waiting staff - only 2 on a busy night,...

Went here for the first time for lunch and had food poising later that night - sickness and diarrhoea. Do not recommend, will not be going back!!

I've visited Tinto Tapas in East Kilbride a few times and never been disappointed! Food last night was delicious and arrived quickly! Berenjena (deep fried aubergine) with honey is my favourite and was lovely and crispy. Albondigas (Meatballs) were meaty and tasty. Ordered 3 Tapas...

Regularly visit East Kilbride Tinto and other branches, food and service were great as always. However I was extremely disappointed with crockets, the ham or chicken are always my favourite and was delighted tonight when I was told crockets of the day were chicken but...

We have dined here a few times now for the tapas menu trying a wide selection of the dishes and we were very happy with the food. The bar staff downstairs have been very professional and friendly too, to the point we have been in...

Had a delicious meal here last night - would recommend highly. The food was brilliant, the service great and no complaints about the table spacing. I thought they had done all that was required to keep their customers safe. The Tuesday taster was better value...

We went to use the ‘Eat out to help out’ scheme but they’ve only opted in on Mondays & Wednesdays.. this wasn’t revealed until we got our bill! Asked why no one said when we booked.. “you didn’t ask”. Horrible experience.. same amount of tables...

Please remember this is only my opinion which you may/may not like. Tinto Tapas is a small and busy tapas restaurant. The food was amazing. Had the Valentine's meal with cocktail for £50 which included a choice of 3 tapas starters, a main, then dessert....

Thought we were getting two pre theatre meals but we're suckered into paying extra by choosing a dish from the "specials" menu (despite that dish being cheaper than some in the pre theatre deal). Nothing in the menu to say "specials" were excluded. Staff response...

Food was amazing, Staff were great and knowledgeable and the surroundings had an authentic feel. Prices were good for the quality of food on offer, also enjoyed the Spanish beer on tap. Will definitely be back, and will try the bar when entertainment is on

Food ok but the restaurant and staff are filthy do not get too close ! You will thank me later for the warning.

Era sul tardi e quindi uno dei pochi che aveva ancora la cucina aperta. Il locale è un po’ così...

This is a fantastic restaurant. Food and service all amazing! Thoroughly recommend the flash fried beef, the goats cheese and the steak, chicken, rib and chorizo board with manchengo chilli cheese sauce - just lovely.

Absolutely fantastic food especially if you go on a Tuesday and get to benefit from all tapas £2.50 deal! Service can be slow maybe because they’re busy & food is fresh but you do wait ages on a drink.

Why do people complain about the waith in Tinto - THIS IS NOT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, TRY MCDONALDS IF YOU WANT SPEED. We went with friends last night and, as always, the food and service were superb. Josh runs a very tight ship with...

I have visited this Tinto Tapas in East Kilbride on many occasions. The last time me and my friend decided to meet up for some food and drinks. The manager and staff are all very lovely and welcoming but on this particular occasion the service...

Dropped into Tinto yesterday for a drink after work as a celebration of buying our first house. We regularly eat in the restaurant and drink in the bar, and have done for years, although not as regularly as we once were as the quality of...

Booked in advance on a Saturday night. It took 25 minutes for the food order to be taken, then a further 35 minutes for the food to arrive. Asked to make a complaint to the manager,who promptly argued that we had not been waiting for...

I have visited several times and have always enjoyed the food. Today was no exception but was enhanced by the very friendly staff. With staff like this patrons will certainly return. Tapas are great with a good choice and with the lunch time offer of...

We have been here a few times. You never get the same experience and that’s why we will probably stop visiting. Especially after our last visit. Yes it’s small and the tables are close together but it’s got a good atmosphere and the diners are...

First visit and I wasn’t disappointed the food was delicious and the staff so friendly,Great choice of Tapas to choose from .

Went for the 3 tapas for £8.95 great value and fabulous food. Service was fantastic the barman was really friendly and down to earth. Definitely will be going back.

When we arrived they couldn’t find our booking.But the manager found us a table.Service was a bit slow but again the staff did their best.If possible I would avoid a Tuesday night.But again staff are very friendly and the food is superb.We would definitely return

Visited prior to a theatre visit. It was very busy and some of the tables are very close to others as it's quite a small place. However, the food was very pleasant and enjoyable. Service was okay and staff were fine although some seemed inexperienced....

Visited here for the first time and not sure we'll return. Using the 5pm offer it states you only have the table for 90mins...it took them almost that long to serve us some drinks!! The service is shocking. We were seated then left 20 minutes...

My wife and I visit this restaurant at least twice a month and it never lets us down. Josh the manager runs a very tight ship but with a very laid back atmosphere. The place is always buzzing and the staff couldn't do any more...

First problem. Coke is from syrup and its shocking. Order a half of house wine got a full one. Ordered a late and no jocking they had no milk!! They then offered a free coke. Not from a bottle or can but from the syrup...

We went on a Tuesday evening when most dishes are £2.50. The portions seemed a little smaller than the last time we were in but we put it down to the fact it was taster night. The food itself was absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault it...

We used the 5pm offer, which was £14.95 for 3 tapas, a dessert and a drink. The food was vert nice although there were 5 or 6 dishes that were not available from the menu. The restaurant was bright and had a nice ambiance and...

1st time in this fab little restaurant and I will definitely return😀 everything from the decor , staff and menu choice was great and very affordable too. X

Just amazing! Fantastic xmas menu, staff 1st class. Never been before but definitely will be back in new year. Can't fault, thanks to ALL chefs & waiting staff.

Visited today and food was great service fantastic staff very friendly Christmas menu extensive and something to please everyone. Would highly recommend.

Staying up here for work. My wife visiting wanted to go out. Picked this because it was local. What a good find, good food and a friendly welcome. Good quality tapas. Cracking G & T.

Only criticism for me is the patatas bravas. I prefer them with the sauce on, also you don’t get enough sauce here and it’s almost too creamy or mayo-y. Apart from this very small personal preference the food and service is here is FANTASTIC! We...

Oh lord. What can I say. Absolutely brilliant. Stunning. Amazing. Fantastic. You say it they are it. The lovely girl jessica I believe was outstandingly beautiful in her service to an old gal like me. She’s always there for me when I need her, helping me with any issues and doing her best to solve it. What an absolutely bloody brilliant LEGEND!! To go onto the food the sausage was DEVINE, I absolutely devoured it and ate it whole. The potato’s were as fluffy as my cat with a sensational dipping substance. Not to the mention the sangria made me feel like I was back in Madrid, I should’ve brought my castinetes as I felt like getting male waiter and doing the salsa, handsome young men. It’s alwsys a party in tintos. If you want a Devine dinner with SO MUCH sausge in an atmosphere where u feel both at home and also in sunny Spain then get your bahookey down to tintos. Onwards and upwards- ARIBAAAAAAAAAA

Was in 2day for the first time for my birthday. I wasn't sure what I would think of the food but wasnt disappointed. Food was amazing and the service was out standing. I would give it a 10 out 10. Will defo be going agian...

Took friends this time who hadn’t been before, and the food and service was great, we all tried different dishes and were not disappointed 👍

I just love it here. Have been coming for some time and always feel so welcome. The whole team are amazing and always take time to talk with me. The food is exceptional and just delicious. I always enjoy whatever I order. I have just...

Food here is very poor and over priced Calamari is like trying to chew an elastic band!?! Service varies from poor to average, Roy fed off by the manager insisting that we pay for food that had been returned to the kitchen because it was...

Friendly staff. The range of food is good and enjoyable. Sorry to say the coffee was very weak and tasteless. Restaurant is basic and clean.

Visited for the first time this month for my husband’s birthday - great food, ambiance & service. We will definitely be back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Went to Tinto this afternoon as part of a group of friends, had a great meal, the servers were fantastic and the chef sublime. Okay let's break it down, getting seated was no issue as it was early afternoon and the service was polite, prompt...

Another visit - and the quality of service and the food was again excellent! One not to be missed and we will be back soon.

We visited this restaurant on a Tuesday night, unbeknownst to us this was their promotion night where all tapas from the al a carte menu are £2.50. Good deal we thought. When we arrived it was busy but the going waiter found us a table. We asked the waiter how many tapas would be enough and he suggested four per person as the portion sizes are smaller on a Tuesday night. He wasn't kidding. Whilst we waited close to 30 minutes for our order I noticed the couple next to us complaining that they didn't get tyke mixed bread tapas that they had ordered. The waiter's response was 'you should have got that'. No apology. When our order finally arrived we were extremely disappointed. Two meatball in a sauce which tasted like it was blended tinned tomatoes. No flavour. The gaspstcho had clearly been watered down to the point where there was no flavour at all. My partner has bread with a few crushed cherry tomatoes and a couple of bits of cheese. And my mixed bread didn't come. When I went to pay for my meal I found I had been charged for the bread and when I pointed this out to the young waiter (clearly very inexperienced) he told his colleague who's response was 'well I didn't take your order'. I tried to keep my cool and spoke to the manager who was apologetic but made excuses about how busy they were. And he was right. Three young boys serving about 60 customers was clearly pushing them beyond their limits. There is no point in having so called promotional nights when you serve substandard tiny portions and can't cope with a full restaurant. I won't be returning and I strongly advise that you don't either.

we love the atmosphere and friendly stafff. tapas are lovely really enjoyed their smoked fish paella and their home made cheesecake is fabulous

Good wide choice (our party included a veggie from Barcelona). Our party of 5 chose 12 tapas and paella for 2; all enjoyed the variety of meal. Staff were very friendly and gave a Very good service.

Went to pop in with a coupe of my mates the other wewm to be greeted with a bunch of louts singing songs about the ira glorifying terrorism. I shall never set foot in thete again. SHAME ON YOU

Having been in other Tinto Tapas before I'm pleased to report that the East Kilbride branch maintains the same high standards. Pop along on a Tuesday when it's £2.50 for a vast selection of small plates, making an already good value offering exceptional.

Full of young neds fighting and shouting and swearing about football when I was trying to have a quiet drink with wife, one even stole our bottle of table wine and started drinking it out the bottle. Disgusted. Won't be back

I was passing through East Kilbride today - having been in other Tinto's before, I popped in here for lunch.

5* food and drink, best night out in ek hwg 10iar, ignore hurting zombie tits, you’ll be at home here

Fine establishment, great music throughout the day,would highly recommend it especially to the irish community

Apologies first off; tapas bars in the UK are not like Spanish tapas bars where you can walk from place to place, graze and enjoy the different locations. There has clearly been some effort to get a Spanish feel with the decorations and I should not complain about the use of local waiting staff. The choice of dishes is expansive- maybe that is the problem? On a tapas tour you can go from one specialist to the next; it is a hard task to be really good over such a wide spread of dishes. I think that they were genuinely trying, but it left me feeling spainsick needing my next fix of the real deal-only a month to go!

Went in today to see a irish rebel band playing in the restaurant. Totally shocking and disgusting. Will never go near this hole again and would advise the same to any decent citizen

Went with a friend on Tuesday as it’s cheaper and firstly the staff are great. Lovely servers. Food arrived real quick but Gambas pil pil ( prawns in oil.) bland. Chicken crockets weren’t nice all. No taste of chicken and inside was like rubber. My friends chicken was really dry. Other dishes ok. I did expect them to take off the price of the crockets but they didn’t. We did tip but mostly for service.

Had dinner here with 2 coworkers, all of us from US. We ordered 9 different tapas and each was fantastic. Staff was very accommodating and made some excellent recommendations. I liked it so much I went back the next night for dinner. The seafood paella was excellent!!

Went for a family meal mid week (3 adults, 1 child). We had a large corner table so lots of space for all of our dishes. The adults ordered 3 tapas items each and were full by the end. The food was great! I have special dietary requirements and they catered for these without any issue, even replacing an item when i noticed something i was unable to eat. My favourite was the salt cod, it was excellent and we all enjoyed every item! My daughter (aged 4) loved her garlic bread, meatballs and patatas bravas as well as ice cream for desert. The meal was really well priced, even including a few drinks and coffees - will be back very soon!

It had been a while since we'd been to Tinto Tapas. We booked on a 5pm deal, 3 tapas and a small glass of wine or sangria. The only downside with this particularly deal is it only available up to 16:45 on a Saturday but that suited us fine. We had a lovely meal and will be back.

Enjoyed a fab day at this little restaurant/pub located with the village. The food was outstanding, first class. The staff are very welcoming and cheerful, eager to please and help. Beer garden is small but adequate. Live entertainment at weekends which was brilliant. Most certainly will be back

Visited here on 20 April. Ordered 16 different tapas and each was cooked brilliantly. Amazing choice and brilliant value for money. £54 for four of us. Very enjoyable

Visited here wednesday 28 march with my partner after waiting 30 mins or so our food arrived what can i say it was awful
