This today became one of our favourite restaurants in Chelmsford alongside MOTO and ROK Kitchen. Finally went for lunch after multiple recommendations for the main restaurant, El Chigre. FOOD 5/5: Every tapa we had was outstanding like, better than or equalling what we've had in reputable places in Spain. Highly recommended: Surtido de Pan (Toasted bread served with dips), Patatas Bravas (Deep fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce), Croquetas (Breaded bechamel sauce with ham) and Berenjenas (Aubergine fingers served with manuka honey). A suggestion on portions for 2 adults out for a light lunch, I recommend 3 tapas. For a heavy lunch, add another 1 tapa and Sangria! We done that! 🏆 The best Sangria I've had to date. It's combined with rum, gin, vodka, aswell as the usual fun! VIBE 4/5: Do not let the cafe-look and posters on the windows outside fool you. The magic has to be tasted. I was also amazed by the number of Spanish people that were eating there; a great sign. SERVICE 5/5: This a very friendly family run restaurant and they care about serving you like you're in their home. The food was explained to us before ordering when we asked questions and also when it arrived, it was not just put on the table. They are proud of their food. Service was attentive, kind, polite and interested. VALUE 4/5: We spent £47 including service charge for 2 adults. We had 4 tapas and 2 sangrias of amazing quality. A suggestion would be to create a lunch menu to increase value if the portion sizes can remain the same size. We look forward to visiting the main restaurant El Chigre, to try the steak cooked on lava rocks next!
