Overview

Tinto Tapas Bar is a small Spanish tapas restaurant on Battlefield Road on the South Side, part of a little local group that also has branches in Uddingston, East Kilbride village and Largs. The menu is traditional tapas (patatas bravas, albondigas, croquetas, prawns pil-pil, chorizo, calamares, mussels, salt cod) plus paella, Spanish cheese boards and desserts like churros and cheesecake, with sangria and Spanish beer and wine. A breakfast menu runs from 10am to noon. It is known as a busy neighbourhood spot with friendly service and regular deals: reviewers mention discounted tapas nights on Tuesdays, an early-evening/early-bird set (3 tapas for a fixed price) and a lunchtime 3-tapas offer. The room is small and intimate, so booking is recommended, especially at weekends. Reviews are mixed: many regulars rate it highly for value, seafood and vegetable options, while some recent visitors found dishes bland, dry or overcooked for the price.

Lovely restaurant and served by a very welcoming member of staff who saw to our every need. Food was out quick and incredibly tasty. The cheap Tuesday deals are 100% worth going for.

Excellent tapas. Amazing service with the Portuguese head waiter. Great view into the kitchen to see the chefs working. Pate, meatballs, mussels and the star was the paella. Event managed desserts which the almond tart and banana pancake were to die for. House wine was a little tart but was fine after the second glass. Definitely return especially kna. Tuesday for the half wine tapas.

Went without a booking so were sat outside which was fine. There was a concert on nearby so was probably busier than usual. They had a 'concert' menu option for £20 per person for 3 tapas. The food was tasty but would have liked to have had a full choice from the menu.

We’ve been here a few times over the years with different group sizes but this visit was very disappointing. It was just the two of us this time, we booked in advance but were seated on the table right near the service counter. The staff were gathered around us chatting a lot and using the table as a dumping ground for notepads. We had to shout at each other while the blender was going and were blasted by the cold when the front door was opened. The food arrived quickly but it was not of the same quality we’ve experienced before, I’m not sure if it was the atmosphere souring the taste or not but the portion sizes have definitely gotten smaller. We were there for a total of 29 minutes, we paid for our meal and swiftly left to find a pleasant evening elsewhere.
