Okay, so first warning straight out of the gate: this place is cramped. If you go at peak time (I've only been twice, both times for dinner) expect to be sitting right next - and I mean *right next* - to some other diners. Both times this has been fun and the unplanned company has been welcome. 

The place is small with the real feel of a family-run restaurant (not sure if it is or not). The stand-out menu items were pork cheek which was very tender, and grilled octopus (wife reported good things). Service was very good, with no complaints about our constant order additions.. and a good wine recommendation (a rioja, can't remember the details) to boot.

We'll definitely be back

Friendly staff, excellent service. Food is fantastic. Casual environment - but maybe not for much longer because this place is soon to get crowded I suspect if they keep up this good work. I had the tapas - pork cheeks, crispy fried calamari with aioli, baked chilli prawns, jamon croquettes...and then paella. Finished with crispy Churros dipped in thick dark chocolate sauce. The Churros is very similar to the popular joint in Madrid...if you've been there then you'll know it's delicious! Not surprised to find a cool place like this in the heart of Dalston!
