Best place to have some proper Spanish tapas! If you're lucky you'll also get a chance to see Pepe playing his Spanish guitar.

Cavlo Loco Tapas has become a staple not just for delicious food, but as a symbol of finishing our working week on Saturdays. Though we were frequent enough visitors pre-Covid, Curly, Pepe and the team really came in to their own when they re-opened for takeaway close to the end of lockdown #1. Although we never really got to the point of being ready to do inside (anywhere), Curly & Co would greet us warmly every week, indulge our outdoor desires and serve us delicious ice cold Estrella at the barrel outside while we wait for our take-away. Never have we felt like an add on, or extra. We've always felt the same welcome and rapport as a sit-in customer would receive. The experience is a slice of 'normal' with a side of holiday. It feels like grabbing tapas outside any bar in Spain, and the food tastes just as good. As we get through lockdown #2 its easier knowing the crew will be there at weekends to keep us fed and happy! Also, as a vegetarian, it is sometimes hard to eat your fill in tapas, but Calvo Loco have more than enough to offer. Their tortilla is fantastic and I heartily recommend the Artichoke in White Wine (Alcochofo Frito). It is also worth chancing your arm to ask if it is one of the blue moon times they've got a vegetarian paella on - it feels like a lottery win when they do! It is amazing! Do check them out for collection during lockdown, the food travels well and makes for a delicious meal at home. Be sure to call in when things get back to normal. Calvo Loco is a gem on Magdalen Road that is not to be missed.
Amazing food, great wine - loved the live traditional spanish music. I would particularly recommend the artichoke cooked with jamon... it is an absolute showstopper!!
Fabulous food, friendly staff (who aren't averse to pulling out a guitar for an impromptu live performance!), cosy family setting - highly recommended!
Amazing tapas outstanding service and atmosphere ...staff were so friendly and attentive ,we will definitely be back ...
