La Rueda Tapas Bar

The food was average here. We ordered croqueta which was with ham and delicious. The fried calamari was chewy which was surprising. The tomato and onion salad had such spicy onions that even though I love onions I struggled to eat them. The prawns with chilli and garlic was great. Service decent and very nice ambiance

We returned to this restaurant today with a party of 4. We had an early booking and we stayed 3 hours eating and drinking. At no time were we rushed. The staff were excellent , friendly and helpful. The food of course was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend high enough. This restaurant is a gem. We will be back again for sure.

I have to give this 4 stars only due to a few reasons. I visited for the first time back in march and declared it to be the best tapas I have ever had namely the octopus dish and patatas bravas. I returned a couple of days ago to treat and friend firstly we had a booking but they seemed surprised and sat us in the back area alone. We ordered an octopus dish each amongst a number of other items. When the dishes came out - very quickly I was surprised that the octopus dish was served completely differently to how I had it only a few months ago. I ate it and it was ok but I believe the portion of octopus was a lot less (it was cut up into small pieces on my this visit and previously whole tails) and it was missing the green marinate which really set off the dish. Also served with different and less potato (See pictures). I did mention this to the two waiters but neither seemed to care. I could also hear one of the waiters/manager making demands to the chef constantly repeating stuff like ‘they asked for sauce on the side this isn’t on the side’ while I understand this needs to be done - I was seated at my table quite a distance away and don’t expect to hear this. It is good food but having spent over £100 on dinner for two this visit did not entice me to return again.
