Rioja - Bielefeld

After many visits the desire to return never dims. The food albeit with some variations from the normal Spanish “tapas” is always at a very high standard, with “specials” providing some excellent diversions from the menu. The staff are always friendly and give an first class service. If you love Spanish food then don’t miss a visit.

Wonderful atmosphere and extensive range of tapas. Cocktails go down extremely well also! Not a huge range for fussy children but no complaints as they were able to pick and choose from the many dishes we ordered.

I was there several times and eating is really delicious and the service was friendly and fast!

The rioja has opened fresh and was already well visited on Saturday. the best way forward: the tapas were consistently good. unfortunately the service didn't work at all. the personal was probably not yet reliant or incapable. only a waitress (one Chinese? tried to deal with problems and was friendly helpful. there is a system with slanted boards that they write their tapas orders. that was not explained at all (I would have suggested making a table with the names and the numbers below. first we tried to supply 3x the food for the next table. when I got my first tapa (sardelle in lemon juice and olive oil, the tables were already on the 2nd and the broth all possible. lamb came with honey instead of red wine sauce (egal, hunger! , carrots with a mild tomato sauce, instead of sharp Canarian sauce, then nothing came for a long time, but when everyone was done, mushrooms came back and we had more sweetness. Once organized, we have a nice, cozy restaurant with good kitchen in the old cucaracha! I mean, the inclined reader should definitely visit the restaurant so that they can practice. but not with 8 people! so: the toilets are also new and clean up (blue wash basin; the bar and the entrance area with lots of wood are a real hingucker!
