Feedback
Reviews praise Selminas for its cocktails, friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere but note a very small, noisy space and occasional inconsistency in food and timing.
Our waiter was super friendly and made us welcome immediately. Great menu with good varied dishes. Many Mexican restaurants have only a list of 3-4 fillings that they wrap in different ways. Selminas is characterized by the actual variety and taste in every bite. Appropriate price with their tapas offers at 3 for £16. Good cocktail menu, and very generous with the suits and decorations, with large pieces of fruit. The decor is bright and interesting, but not too overdue or sticky. I love the wallpaper.
Nice restaurant! Really good vibes the food is amazing! I've got the Rippburger and it fucked! Wine and cocktails very tasty little warm upstairs! But very definitely worth a visit!
Absolutely love this restaurant !! I've always enjoyed the hospitality since it opened, last week was the first time I had been with the new menu for father's Day and it was as amazing as always.. Very friendly staff and very very warm welcoming. I will always keep this establishment in my top 5 places to go for a special occasion or just if I am passing by and feel like a good feast. Very well managed! Thank you.
I dined at this restaurant twice recently: once with my husband, and then again with a friend who I had mentioned it to. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. The fajitas were particularly tasty, and the white wine complemented the meal perfectly. I was initially unsure about the type of cuisine offered at this restaurant, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try as it has become one of my favorite places to dine. Coventry doesn't have many restaurants like this one, aside from chain establishments, so it is a welcomed addition to the dining scene. While I would love to see dishes like Tlayudas and tamales on the menu, what we did have was fantastic, colorful, and filling. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the interior is charming. I enjoyed sitting in the back garden on a sunny day, but the upstairs area is also cozy and colorful. Keep up the great work!
A small restaurant- so book. But lovely food and good service. All the obvious dishes but also some great ones like ox-tail tacos. I had a lovely chimichanga. Range of cocktails and other drinks. Just a great night out!
