Overall good experience.
Good: the atmosphere, the service, some of the foods, and the owner.
Bad: not an authentic Spanish place. The food was too salty- somewhat pub style. As the name suggests, it is a pub. So salty food go well with alcohol I think. A little pricy as well, considering the port
What a gem! Perfect for a date night or an evening out with friends and family.
I would recommend 2 or 3 dishes each and then a pudding.
We had mini fried squid, fried goats cheese, meat balls in a delicious tomato and pea sauce, potats bravas and oxtail. The oxtail melted in your mouth. Truely deli
Super tiny place full of taste.
Lovely selection of tapas. Very tasty, good beer and good service.
It cost us £70 for two guys (with a drink each)
Feedback for the owners - those Barrell tables are really hard to sit at, and my hip flexors had to work overtime, so if the seats were comfier I’d
There aren't many tapas places in Exeter, but even if there were, this one is the real deal!! Absolute perfection, from the time you walk in until the amazing tapas are served, close your eyes and you are in Spain! Love the music, the atmosphere, the food, the service, the real Spanish touch, everyt
A buzzing sensory experience. Extensive and well thought out tapas options. All well presented and taste delicious. Excellent service at just the right level.
We booked a table and when we arrived we’ve been given the outside table, which has it wasn’t cold for us we didn’t had any problems at all with that but personally I would have preferred an inside one, the staff were very friendly but they were not coming often to serve outside. The food was amazin
You need to book a table, or sneak in early like we did for a cold sherry and tapas. The place is tiny but the atmosphere is large. Calvo Loco, means 'crazy baldy', and is named after the exuberant British owner. His Spanish wife does the cooking so it's authentic and really delicious and the staff
High quality family made tapas.. each dish arrives when ready for a relaxed meal. I can highly recommend it!
I would book to get a table (more than 24hrs in advance) but they do have some walk in. Great staff and excellent food.
Menu from August 2022, not including specials.
Cavlo Loco Tapas has become a staple not just for delicious food, but as a symbol of finishing our working week on Saturdays.
Though we were frequent enough visitors pre-Covid, Curly, Pepe and the team really came in to their own when they re-opened for takeaway close to the end of lockdown #1.
