AI Summary

A St Kilda tapas bar plating garlic prawns, paella and sangria with a genuinely Spanish welcome.

A warm, buzzy Acland St tapas bar with Spanish chatter, occasional live music, and a chef who comes out table-side to talk through the dishes.

Chef Manolo, originally from Madrid, cooks to order and often visits tables to explain dishes; dog-friendly seating and live music feature on some nights.

Strong authenticity signals throughout, including a Spanish-language review, a Madrid-born chef, and reviewers who compare it favourably to tapas they've had in Spain.

Most reviewers call it good value for generous, authentic tapas and jugs of sangria, though a few flag individual items like a $15 cider or $24 chicken dish as pricey.
