Rico Libre

Food and staff great. A little slow to bring special menus over but otherwise very enjoyable.

Delicious food! Impressed by the lovely new venue.

Very tasty food! Portions great sizes. Definitely recommend and go back again. Even better you can take your own drinks for a small corkage fee. Very accommodating

Food was great. Service very quick and friendly.

Delicious food, excellent service.
Will go again!
On the downside : the venue is cold and noisy.

Amazing food and super helpful staff well worth visiting

Fab evening, great service and lovely food, highly recommend.

Love it here! Lovely staff and food. Very chilled atmosphere and super easy going. We have been a few times and will definitely be back!

Food is lovely plenty of option available. Fizz was helpful and welcoming even did all he could to accommodate us outside after our meal for drinks.

The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly, but :
-If you book for outside in November remember to take warm clothing.
-If you order starters be aware your mains and starters will simply arrive as they are ready.
-If you ask for a bottle cooler it may be so full of water that when you put the bottle in there may be a huge mess.
-The jazz was lovely but very understated - more like background music than a live band

Friendly and efficient service, good food and fantastic value

Food was amazing, service was friendly but not attentive. Was next to impossible to get waiters attention, no check to see if our food was okay, no second drinks order, took 25 mins to clear main courses, didn't clear empty glasses, menus were dirty.

Food was great, and good value at 15pp, for bread, side, paella, dessert! Shame the service did not match!

I'll probably still come back.

We have always been a big fans of Rico libre and love their food. This was our first time at the new premesis and again it didn’t disappoint.
The food is some of the best tapas I have ever had. If you’re a tapas lover, this is the place for you.
Portions are good sizes, so 3 each with starters is plenty. Great value for money !!

The staff were super and the ambiance was perfect for a get together with friends for a catch up.

Will 100% be returning and I always recommend this to anyone asking for a beautiful meal out!

Thanks again 😊

Always have a fabulous meal at Rico Libre. Dishes are excellent and reasonably priced, with different specials available each time. Great service.

A Birthday celebration

Great service from Betsy, needed to eat gluten free as my niece is a coeliac and Betsy made sure everything that arrived at the table was suitable.

Octopus, lamb skewers and pork belly were outstanding! Specials of pork cheek and goat curry were amazing!

Great service great night-thanks Rico Libre and Betsy.

Booked for the Halloween spooky tent
Which was a proper let down
Feel totally conned as it was hurst a tent with a band was playing ridiculously loud it was horrendous couldn’t chat with each other as we were drowned out by the singer
Why it was so loud Is beyond me
Food wax a real let down I’ve been before before it moved to this new place and just felt it wasn’t anywhere near as good which is such a shame

Sorry Guys won’t be returning
Just don’t understand the concept of what was advertised with the tent
Really
Let down

The food at Rico Libre is fantastic. Spicy, garlic flavours that are totally delicious. The price is very reasonable too. Love it.

Great service and very flavoursome veggie food! Will be back for sure

This is how the “experience” was described:

“experience Rico Libre in another dimension in our Terrifying Tent of Tricks and Treats. Exclusive to our Al Fresco dining area, enjoy our spooktacular live entertainment whilst we stir up the Tapas cauldron and serve up a hauntingly good feast!”

In reality it was the regular menu but served outside in the cold regular tent in what appeared to be a disused water feature. Not remotely “spooktacular” with zero attempt to decorate for the occasion and no live music.

Don’t advertise experiences you have no intention of delivering.

The food was fine but I’d have just booked a normal table indoors had I know there was actually no event.

Plates wouldn’t get cleared before more was brought out so was very tight to get things on the table, the linguine was full of broken shell, the lamb had some sort of hard inorganic material in it. The rest of the food was not great either.

Food was incredible. As someone who has lived in Spain, I found it close to authentic and full of flavor

Great food for a reasonable price. Would recommend!

Great place, amazing food and fabulous service! Highly recommend

Great food and great service, thankyou!

First time at Rico Libre following a recommendation. Overall food was good - but chaotic. For example, one of our 6 tapas dishes arrived before our starter, chased the starter. That arrived shortly followed by some of our tapas dishes - one of which wasn’t what ordered (hake). Last tapas dish arrived as we were half way through others.

All this said, the food was really tasty with the exception of the Patatas Bravas which should be renamed Patatas Lavas due to chilli content.

If the service improved it could be a five star.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Will be going back again with friends.

Friendly people and great food

Food was amazing, staff was as well, 100% will be going back

Lovely service from Fizzy, thank you! Food was greatv

Great night, staff excellent, highly recommended. BYOB is an excellent option

After arriving, it took 40 minutes for anyone to come over and take a drink order. After that, food took a while to come. After booking from high recommendations, I was highly disappointed.

The service was informative and friendly, not over bearing at all. The food came out slowly, allowing us to enjoy the range of tapas fully. Really enjoyed our night here!

Lovely food, laid back atmosphere, excellent value. BYO is a bonus! Will be back.

We really like it here and it is always great. Very good food

Great venue with fabulous food and fantastic service from Betsy.

The food was delicious. The service was OK but we had to ask for certain drinks that were forgotten after ordering a few times. We also felt we were rushed at the end. We didn't order puddings but had drinks and the bill was brought to early and we were asked to pay before we had really even started our 2nd drinks. We weren't aware that the restaurant needed the table back and I didn't get to finish my 2nd drink

We had tapas starters and they were absolutely brilliant! Great choice, amazing food, great service, lovely friendly staff, would 100% recommend and we will definitely be going again!

Very nice tapas well made, the black pudding and quail egg is especially good!

We were running late, tried to call the restaurant but kept getting an automated message so couldn’t get through to anyone.
Gave our starters and main tapas order in one go thinking they would bring out the starters first for us to eat before the tapas however it was all brought together which meant the crispy aubergine went really cold and wasn’t tasty once this happened…the Camembert became really thick as it cooled too and wasn’t pleasant. The patatas alioli went cold and hard so that was tasteless. The only decent dish was the artichoke mushrooms and that’s because it was eaten hot.
Just couldn’t enjoy the food as we were trying to eat quickly to make the most of it whilst it was hot which wasn’t possible with 3 dishes along with 2 dipping starters.
