    Great service, nice ambience to chat and the food was very good quality. I eat out a lot and this will now be on my list as a place to bring family and friends.

    Our experience overall was quite poor and when we spoke to staff about this they weren’t bothered. A drink and food item were forgotten about, for the food item the waiter apologised and said it would be brought straight away. 20minutes later it had not arrived and we asked for the bill at this point, the item was on the bill so needed to ask for it removed. The waiter blamed short staffing and it being busy. Food was nice enough but very small portions even for tapas. Wine was good.

    Food was really good, some dishes had a fusion twist rather than traditional flavours associated with tapas. Lovely staff in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

    A good variety of a la carte Tapas well presented in smallplate format mainly £6-10 each. Wine list is small but they encourage BYOB for a £4 corkage which is remarkeable.value. My wife has more than happy with the chardonnay on offer. We were surprised food of this quality the place was only half full on a Friday night.

    Definitely recommend Rico Libre for a great tapas experience. The lamb, the chorizo croquettes and the gambas prawns were particularly good. Will definitely be going back!! Thank you

    One of the worst dining experiences ever. Incompetence at every level, food was cold, slow service, dishes missed and apparently not ordered according to staff. Avoid at all costs

    Such a lovely evening here before we went to a cinema/wine tasting night. Wonderful friendly and helpful waiter (don’t know his name) and other lovely waiting staff. We paid corkage as bought our own wine. Food was sublime and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend 👍🏻 Favourite dishes the aubergine and mushrooms 😋
