La Tapita Spanish Kitchen

This place is a gorgeous and great place for Spanish food. We loved all the dishes we ordered. It’s a small place, but they more than make up for it with the food and the charm of the staff. Great service. Churros were a little lacking but overall fantastic.

Get your skates on and try this little slice of Spain . Husband front of house, Wife cooking in the kitchen. Wow , every tapas dish is a taste sensation. So many to choose from, you just cant stop ordering another tapas. Already been back 5 times , i need to check my cholesterol levels

Its a small restaurant with some rustic looking stools to sit on. Luckily for my dodgy back, we got there before the rush changed our seats for chairs. The staff are affable.We had several of the tapas dishes enjoyed it all with a particular mention for the ham-wrapped scallops and the fried potatoes. Also, the prawns that topped the seafood paella special were deliciously juicy and firm, obviously fresh.I was surprised that the Gildas $3) was a toothpick with an olive a couple of small chilies: not value for money.Too stuffed for dessert again.

Reasonably priced, and food is pretty tasty. The mixed paella and salt and pepper calamari were the stand-out dishes for me. Staff were very busy, but super friendly, and food comes out quickly. Spanish tapas style so you can enjoy a variety of dishes for a good price. We couldn’t see the paella on the menu but we just asked and they explained what was on offer.

This wonderful cosy Spanish restaurant located ideally on O'Connell Street is absolutely worth a visit! We have eaten Spanish food a lot in Melbourne this is better than what we have found, I wish it was near where we live! We were greeted by Sonny, our waiter who provided excellent service throughout our visit. We had a selection of tapas including Mejillones a la marinera Patatas bravas, as well as a Paella de Marisco. The food was all sooooo tasty I could have eaten all night. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
