Tinto

Colorful, creative and cheap on Tastecard.
Just off Upper Street this nice little tapas joint probably doesn’t get much of a look in.
On a weekday evening, we were one of only three tables with diners, so it lacked in a bit if atmosphere that you come to expect of good tapas bars.
We enjoyed our choices of small plates, picked from a menu with plenty of appealing dishes! I could have selected quite a few more, especially from the specials board too.
I particularly enjoyed the chorizo burger sliders topped with quails eggs, on a very pink bun. They looked and tasted fab.
A nice, easy going meal over some girlie gossip was washed down with two glasses of the house white wine.
All in all it was enjoyable and I’d be happy to go back in theory, just on a busier night.
It was 50% off with a Tastecard, so the meal and wine came to £24 in total for both of us. A bargain if I do say so myself!

Skip it.
I really wanted to like this place but it just left a sour taste in my mouth — literally. Aside from a very aggressive, confrontational, unfriendly staff (specifically the manager/​owner?)– the wines just sucked. For a wine bar, the vino list was not extensive so opted for the glass selection.
We ordered two by the glass, a malbec and sauvignon blanc. I don’t know how this could be a coincidence but both glasses were off. I’ve never had to describe wine to be this sour, took about 2 sips and there was a burning sensation down my throat and in my stomach. This happened with both glasses — very odd. They were supposedly both new bottles, so maybe they should try their stock!
Meal board was OK — would be nice if it came with some bread.
Cheese board was eh — a wider selection would have been better as you choose either 3 or 5 cheeses from about a 6 cheese list (1 was out) so really choosing from 5? It came with oily crackers, disgusting prune line plums, and this marmalade jelly that wasn’t bad but could have been a better pairing with a nice honey.
