  “Such a great spot! The owners are warm and friendly, and the food is top notch. I got the Mike - it was incredible and a massive portion. I also appreciated that they gave me a fork, in case any stuffing fell out. Only sad that I’m not in Liverpool more often to try some of their other sandwiches and tapas. 10/10”

  “Amaaaaazing! We go to Tenerife yearly and have grown very fond of Barraquitos, so much so I stumbled across Castros awhile ago when searching for Barraquitos in the UK. It's taken us awhile but we finally made a trip over to Liverpool and of course a visit to Castros was needed! What was originally intended to just be a quick pit stop for a Barraquito, we ended up staying for a couple (as they were just like the good ones in Tenerife!) and some food and I am so glad we did!! Not only were the Barraquitos spot on, the food was delicious. My son and I shared the pollo bocadillo, my husband had an arepa, and we got a side of papas con mojo - it was just like being back in Tenerife 👌🏻 portion sizes are decent too, definitely enough to share. Would highly recommend this place for lunch as not only was the food fab, but the owners were lovely too - super friendly and chatty, and nice to speak a little Spanish. Will definitely be returning next time we're in Liverpool! Muchas gracias 💛”

  “Sass’ Review Ive seen this place so many times when I stop off in Hole in the wall, ive read the reviews. I’ve heard people go on about it, so I figured it was time to dive in. The wait was a while but it just built up the anticipation. The vibes were great, boss music and people. I ordered the Jamon, to put it in basic terms, it’s the best ham and cheese sarnie ive had. It was weirdly even better when I saved half and had it cold. Also grabbed one of the plain basque cheese cakes which were divine. The thing that stole the show for me though was the iced peach tea, YESSSSS!!!! Rise up iced tea fans cos this one is genuinely the best I’ve ever had. This is coming from someone who hates Lipton. All in all for two heavy big tasty sarnies, a cheesecake to share and 2 bottles of iced peach tea for like £33 doesnt work out terrible, especially for the quality and supporting somewhere independent. Reece’s Review One of the best sandwiches ive ever had and I can definitely say that the hype is true , taking pride and care into making each bite better than the last and by the time your finished , it leaves you satisfied and glad that you went there for breakfast, lunch , dinner etc. If you want a proper delicious sandwich in your spare time Castros is the way to go 💪🏻 If you haven’t gone yet and you’re flicking through reviews like we were in the past STOP and just GO!”

  “What’s not to like about this place? The staff was so welcoming and friendly. The beer was cold and crisp. And the sandwiches were among the best II’ve ever had. We were in Liverpool for 3 days and ate there twice. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks for the free shots and good vibes!”

  “Hands down the best café I've ever visited. Every sandwich is packed with bold, thoughtful flavor, and the open kitchen lets you watch each order come together with real care. I stopped in countless times during my stay in Liverpool and left impressed every single time. A genuine gem.”

  “Wow what a find! This is like Tenerife at Liverpool’s doorstep! We are so glad we tried the food here ! We went early for breakfast and tried couple of sandwiches - the classic and their best seller ‘The Mechada’ and owners recommended Serranito ! The Mechada is a classic for a reason - meaty juicy cheesy sandwich ! The owner Borja recommended to have this with their own version of hot sauce which works really well with the right amount of spice kick! And serranito with the pork loin was a great flavour bomb, as soon as you take the first bite the flavours burst in to your mouth! We also tried their blueberry basque cheesecake, lovely cloud in the mouth texture and great flavour! We love finding local food spots with a story and this one hits the mark! The couple Borja and Tasha are lovely hosts and their place is so friendly and welcoming! They were even recommending good food spots in Tenerife! Next time we go to Tenerife will check their recommendations to avoid the popular touristy trap food! Highly recommend this place if you want tasty real sandwiches and Canarian style tapas! We will go back to try more from their menu! Second visit Went back to try their smash burger and pollo Escobar (chicken) sandwich ! Also ordered the fries with mojo sauces ! Again everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Honestly the portions sizes are generous, we weren’t hungry until 6 in the evening after a smashing breakfast at 10!”

  “Saw a YouTube video about Castro's and saying it was one of the best places in Liverpool, so I thought I would go and I am happy to say the video was right! Definitely one of the best sandwiches I have had. For £10 my expectations was high but they were met.😋”

  “I'm a big sandwich guy. I don't mean I'm literally a large walking bocadillo, but that sandwiches are my favourite food. And the bocadillo I had at Castro's yesterday was by far the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Me and my partner walked in and immediately, you can smell the savouriness and spice. Upon both ordering the Mechada, we watched true craftsmanship occur right in front of us and it didn't take long at all before Borja and the team had worked their magic and this... SPECIMEN was given to us. An actual masterpiece of a sandwich. I can't even describe how delicious it was. Anyway, I will now proceed to do exactly that. The beef brisket melts in your damn mouth. There's no sugarcoating it. They don't skimp out on how much they put in there, but they don't want you dislocating your jaw trying to bite into it, either. It's the perfect meat-bread ratio. And the HOT SAUCE... the hot sauce they make in house... just wow. The perfect level of spice, and it somehow makes the tastiest thing you've ever eaten taste even better. And £10 for a sandwich this good? In THIS ECONOMY?! We will absolutely be back, and we will absolutely be working our way through everything on the menu. It's 5am the next day and my stomach is PINING for another Castro's bocadillo... Call me greedy, but I'll probably succumb to the intrusive thoughts and end up being back today.”

  “Ngl, I saw the 5* rating and thought it was hype but oh was I wrong. Walked in, got welcomed in by pretty much everyone in the place. Took a seat and got some drinks, got a sprite and a peach ice tea, which has to be one of the best bottled peach ice teas I’ve ever had. Ordered The Mechada and the lady said there was a homemade hot sauce they could add to which I was like “yes please!” A few moments later the food had arrived, warm crusty roll which was so soft on the inside with just the right amount of crunch to it. Sandwich looked amazing and still in the back of my mind I was like nah this can’t be true. Took a bite and omg, mind blowing flavours. The hot sauce wasn’t too hot but it just gave me that little bit of a nose run that got my tastebuds smiling. Whilst sat there, an elderly couple come in just to have a cup of coffee and the relationship these customers had with the staff there was like they were family. Super friendly staff were wishing the couple best of luck with a house move and the couple were saying how much they were going to miss this place and tbh I don’t blame them. Deserved of the 5 star rating imo, so get down there and have a taste for yourself.”
