"We visited Tapas Del Mundo on Saturday 6th January as a party of three recently. I've been to the venue before and enjoyed the ambient dining venue, food and service, so returned with my Mum and my friend. We arrived slightly early, but were warmly welcomed and the staff made space for us straight away, despite it being very busy, so this was a lovely surprise as we had expected to have to kill some time. There's a brilliant selection of tapas, nibbles, starters and sharers to choose from and an excellent wine list. They also offer spirits, hot drinks, and soft drinks. We chose several tapas dishes and nibbles to share, including, calimari, gambas, bruschetta, halloumi and olives to name a few of our absolute favourites. Whilst these were the highlights for me personally, we all enjoyed every dish. The food was sublime and the seafood cooked to perfection juicy, succulent and full of traditional flavours that you might expect when visiting a locals restaurant in Spain. The portion sizes are also generous and reasonably priced. My friend and I shared a couple of bottles of Prosecco and my Mum a red wine, which was a lovely treat and the staff were still just as amicable and helpful when we became a little louder and more giggly. In fact, they even brought us each a cocktail which was very kind of them. The whole evening was an absolute delight and I can throughly reccommend Tapas Del Mundo. If you are looking for the best tapas in the South West (and I have been to quite a lot) I'd go as far to say as you won't find better food or service than at Tapas Del Mundo. A solid 5 out of 5 stars and I will be recommending the restaurant to all of my friends and customers."

"This place changed to worsen, I'm surprised it still standing. Upon arrival at the door, a4 paper tape it to the door saying Pay before you eat . with is fair enough, as you approach the staff they take you straight away to the bar so you pay for your meal, they take out the unlimited pop drinks with you need to spend more money. £2.80 for a pint of coca cola that didn't even taste like the genuine one, more like water down and the cheap ones you get from supermarkets for less than 50p, ridiculous. So the table for 2, they took us to the busiest and loudest corner, even when we politely ask if we can be seated in a quieter table. Staff looked at us funny and said no. With we founded very rude. As soon you sit down at the table you've been observed like crazy! whenever you go the staffs and manager has eyes on you. On the walls, there is a notice poorly made written by hand and once again a4 paper saying you can eat from 12 noon till 5.30 pm if you stay longer you be charged! very passive writing. This place has zero maintenances, you can see dust everywhere especially of the curtains I don't think they ever been washed. Mould at the ceiling and the walls you can spot from miles, not to mention poor chairs and tables. Cutlery is not presentable I had to wipe in the napkin before using it. Food buffet variety is nothing special and the desserts are horrible, cheap icecreams, most of the desserts are from supermarkets, they left in the trays for god knows how long. (You never know you might eat out of date food). Plates are chipped, some of them wet. Bowls bearly any. I and my partner agreed that the food was over salted and had too much pepper inside. It's a cheap Chinese if you can call that, use to be alright but now it's just a no, we won't be back here again. Prices for the buffet are somehow ok for lunch but then you need to spend more on drinks with the bill could be expensive. Lunch Monday Thursday £7.5 Adult £4.5 Child, Buffet at the evenings seems overpriced: Monday Thursday Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £8.5 Adult £5 Child Friday Saturday: Lunch (12noon 5:30pm) £8 Adult £5 Child Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £9.5 Adult £5 Child Sunday All Day and Bank Holidays (except good Friday): 12noon 10pm, £8.5 Adult, £5 Child What we noticed many people left leftovers, including myself as I had undercooked potatoes. The way this business is going soon or later they will charge you for leaving leftovers! As we were leaving the restaurant all staffs including manger had eyes on us, felt like they not trusting us. It's terrible to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. After the food, we both had stomach pains and my partner felt sick, we unsure what could have been caused by it but we know for sure we go elsewhere and pay a little bit extra to have a proper Chinese rather than this that makes you sick."
