What m likes about Goya Pimlico:
Lovely intimate space with warm, down-to-earth family-run service. We only stopped for a light bite but got tempted by the dessert menu. Delicious! Also the beautiful blooming Mimosa Tree right outside was a pleasant surprise, native to Australia, where I am usually based. View all feedback. What Justice R doesn't like about Goya Pimlico:
The service was exceptional and the atmosphere intimate and small, but it just lacked because of the food. The food was underwhelming, felt like it lacked flavour, salt and love. I was waiting for something exceptional after reading the reviews and looking at all the wonderful pictures. It really didn’t live up to what reviewers had mentioned. If anything it was like they reheated old food and served it to us. View all feedback.

A perfectly passable, if unremarkable tapas bar in a good location.

Goya Pimlico offers an intimate and small atmosphere with exceptional service, making it a cozy spot in London. However, some reviewers found the food underwhelming, lacking flavor and quality. Some described the dishes as bland and greasy, not living up to expectations of rustic, flavorsome Spanish tapas. Complaints included disinterested staff and slow service. On the other hand, positive reviews highlighted the warm, family-run service, delicious desserts, and a great selection of tapas at reasonable prices. Guests enjoyed the variety of dishes, especially the fish and vegetarian options, accompanied by an extensive range of Spanish wines. Overall, Goya Pimlico seems to be a hit or miss depending on individual experiences, with mixed reviews on the food and service quality.
