Delicious and delicate tapas, delectable desert and hearty meals for a group. The real taste of Spain right to your table as you enjoy the ambiance and impeccable service. Delish!

I love the decor of this cosy space in Elliott Stables - it's great for a quick bite before a movie/theatre show or just a nibble before a big Friday night drink out with friends. The tapas is tasty - nothing amazing - but tasty. The service is very friendly but just a little slow on the night we went in (it wasn't  busy). Nice place for a first date because the space is intimate enough to keep a good date going & yet you have an excuse for a quick getaway if he/she turns out to be an epic fail by eating a quick tapas and making up an excuse to leave after one plate.

Good choices and great flavours

Fantastic place to go for dinner, loads of tapas to choose from and great list of Spanish wines!

We went here on a Saturday evening and enjoyed every dish!  My only complaint is there was no Spanish omelette/tortilla on the menu, only chips or potato wedges.  The staff were very attentive and helpful.  Would highly recommend it.

Two tapas and a drink for 15 bucks during lunch time. Excellent food, great value.

This restaurant is very small located inside The Stables food court that i didn't know existed. The food was good, and it had a good range. Just got really expensive with all the little bits you order as it all adds up. Overall the service was good and the staff were really helpful at advising what to order to go with what. The food prep time was fast considering how packed the food court appeared and we sat in a private area upstairs above the restaurant so it wasn't too loud :)

Had an excellent lunch at El Faro on Wednesday afternoon with 10 of my 2nd year Spanish students. The food and service were very good and the owner, Mark, was super friendly. The two-tapas-and-a-drink for $15 lunch special was a bargain - plenty of food and nice variety. As a teacher, it was great to expose my students to some authentic tapas and the server, a very nice young lady from Colombia, did a great job of conversing with the students in Spanish! I plan to go back for dinner one day soon and try even more of the menu! dinner

these guys do great lunch specials. $15 for 3 tapas and a glass of Sangria. AWESOME. tasty tapas. my fave is the chicken nibbles, really yummy. 

Great experience! We came with a group of 11 people and had a set menu of 7 tapas dishes. Each of them extremely tasty. The stuffed calamari was AMAZING and tender - worth keeping to yourself! The organic beef and the beetroot with blue cheese were also great.
