1 Star would be zero if an option . Bookies are bad places

Service really let it down, the staff seemed uninterested and some seemed to be ignoring people deliberately. Food was ok but the slow and poor level of service doesn?t make me want to return.

On a rainy, dark and cold Monday night in October my son chose this restaurant based on previous reviews and it was a triumph! Swindon was a stopover for us and we were looking for food and what we got at Los Gatos was so much more! It was friendly and warm, with a great menu of the traditional tapas options plus a lot more. Everything we ordered was delicious especially the croquettes. My son is still talking about this meal 10 days later so I thought I should leave a review? it?s wonderful to find such a great neighbourhood restaurant and it?s not far if you?re staying at the Premier Inn west like we were. Definitely worth venturing beyond the usual out of town options for something immeasurably better.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We pre-booked the paella (which they serve on the first Sunday of the month) which was delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

I love LG. Been going since back in the day of cramming yourself into a bar stool and ending up getting super cosy with other diners at their wonderful Wood Street bar. Since their move it?s not felt the same to me, and I?ve recently visited since the extension. Whilst the food was the same, albeit much cooler in temperature by the time it reached us, the main problem was the noise. We could barely hear ourselves talking. We couldn?t hear the staff when they were taking our orders. It was really dreadful and to be honest we couldn?t wait to leave. It?s such a shame as it?s a lovely setting, but the acoustics need some urgent work. Prices seem to have increased quite steeply across the board as well, with £10 for a medium glass of mid range Rioja seeming quite steep. The service as well; gone are the days of the lovely staff who we had gotten to know quite well, this time we were served by three different staff in on evening, which is fine and they were all perfectly lovey, but again it just isn?t what it was and part of the charm seems to have been most. LG used to be somewhere we?ve always enjoyed visiting but to honest I?m not in a rush to return and if we were to, then it would be during the day when hopefully it?s a little less noisy. It?s less of an experience now and more of just another place to go for food.

What can I say about Los Gatos that hasn't been said before. I've been coming here since it first opened in a tiny little premises on Wood Street when getting a table was academic because there were only three tables and you had to cram in at the bar. Even when they moved round the corner it was famously difficult to get a seat and from a business perspective adding more covers was probably a no-brainer. However, I do think it's fair to say that since the revamp it had this earlier this year it's most definitely a Restaurant. The food and drink haven't changed however and all the old favorites are still available on the menu whether that's gin wines or sherry or the favourite tapas dishes of aubergine chips, meatballs or 'gambas pil pil' (my one niggle would be the patatas bras which were quite dry and now come with sauce on the side rather than on top.) All in all it's still one of the best places to eat in Swindon, but for me some of the magic of the place has gone a little bit.

Family of 6 adults dining at 8 on a Friday night. Our table was ready, but very single dish was delicious! My stepdad was particularly impressed with the octopus and my brother didn?t stop talking about the black pudding dish the whole drive home. Would definitely come back. Also great to have the tap water topped up regularly without asking.

If you are looking for authentic tapas, this is the place to visit. Everything was tasty and the service friendly. I highly recommend chorizo and croquetas.

Needed a restaurant to go to after booking an incorrect restaurant on a Sunday night. Low Gatos came to the rescue and we were so happy! Great service even though we got in last minute, and the food was amazing! Definitely worth a trip out!

Had a lovely meal out with my family - husband and two adult children- the food was superb, especially the paella with chicken . The staff was very friendly and helpful and was impressed with the venue. Will definitely recommend and will be coming again soon.

We first went to Los Gatos when they were in Wood Street with just a few tables and loved it. When they moved round the corner to a bigger venue, we followed and was still excellent. The atmosphere, service and food were second to none. Today was the first time we have been since they have expanded and sorry to say that it has changed so so much. The food is still good. However, whereas before you had 1 or 2 servers, we lost count this evening. The atmosphere has gone from being intimate to the feeling of a chain restaurant/canteen. Before the increase in costs, we used to spend £120-150 for the 2 of us. Tonight our bill was £53 which says it all. I'm sure they will thrive with new clientele and wish them all the best, but we won't be back.

Staff were rude and unhelpful, when we asked for service it took them 5-10 minutes to arrive at our table. Eventually our drinks order came but it was wrong so had to be rectified. It seemed staff didn't want to be there and it came across to the customers. We were really looking forward to having a meal at Los Gatos as we had been a few years before the growth, It is safe to say we were extremely dissatisfied and unlikely to return again.

Me and my family had the best impressions of this restaurant! Hospitable hosts, delicious tapas, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

We couldn't get a table online, so took a chance at calling in and they had a cancellation so we managed to get a table. Really busy restaurant, very popular and I can see why, a really good selection of tapas food. We had the Chorizo and red wine, Mushrooms in a sherry sauce, Cauliflower in panko breadcrumbs served with a mayo, and Spanish black pudding with a quail egg, which came in a stack with peppers in between. They were all cooked perfectly and a huge chunk of fresh sourdough bread. Can see why this place is popular.
