“First visit and really enjoyed best tapas we have eaten for a long time … we will be back”
- Claire Jenkins
“Another delicious meal at El Molino. We have been here quite a few times and the food and service have always been great. We were lucky enough to have a lovely waitress called Maria who really went the extra mile and was amazing with our 16 month old son called Liam. Highly recommend.”
- Diego
“Really good, authentic Spanish food in south London. Good priced and tasty. If you want good food, it’s a really good choice, but book in advance. Having said that, after ordering the desserts menu, we were waiting for ten minutes for someone to come back, with the waitress just talking with other customers 5 meters away and totally ignoring everyone else. We left without dessert in the end. A bitter end for an otherwise pleasant time.”

“Always a great time at El Molino’s. Our waitress Sabina was brilliant and made sure everyone in our large group was well looked after.”
