It is situated in Bournemouth town centre, on the outskirts of the main square and right next to Tesco Express (so, if the tapas don't fill you up, you always have the chance to grab a meal deal). Parking isn't ideal, but if one follows the road up past the church, there are usally some places next to all the industrial works.
The décor really creates an Hispanic atmosphere and encourages the customers to imageine that they have been transported to a local bar, perhaps in the backstreet of Galicia on some humid, Friday night. There is a rustic feel to the place and the posters layering the walls add an interesting conversation starter. I believe that the employees are latino, as the waiters who served us had a slight accent. One also didn't understand when Lauren* asked for a milder source, he simply took it all off (probably cutting the cost in half too whilst keeping the price the same, sneaky bugger).
As I have found out in the past year after studying Economics and Business Studies, the recommended "have three tapas for each person" was merely to make us buy more. I went for Rustic Garlic Bread (Andalucia, £2.45), Calamares (Andalucia, £4.65) and Pollo Marbella (Malaga, gluten-free, £4.95). For an average price of £4, it was cheap and good value, yet prices may quickly increase if drinks are ordered as well.
