Review Summary

Overall, Pintxo draws a mix of strong to very positive impressions across reviews, with many diners praising the food as delicious and well executed, notably the octopus, lamb chops, scallops, and calamari, and a wine list that pairs well with the dishes. The service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, contributing to a welcoming, vibrant vibe and some guests noting good value and creative Spanish options. A few criticisms appear, including portions that some feel are small for the price, occasional uneven flavors, and noise levels at the Central location. A small number of comments mention hygiene concerns or question the authenticity of the tapas, but these are not universal. Overall Pintxo is remembered as a lively tapas spot with standout dishes and solid wine, prompting many to plan a return visit, sometimes for lunch or a celebratory evening.

An absolutely basic bar, with expensive drinks & rude staff. Some of the staff even came to the food court seating to check what I was drinking. The staff chatted about the customers while preparing very simple food.

Great experience at Pintxo Tapas Bar.

The red wine & cocktail were excellent, the octopus & lamb were flavorful & perfectly cooked, & the service was great.

Definitely coming back.

Mi visita fue… peculiar. Ver a algunos empleados bebiendo mientras trabajaban me hizo pensar que la fiesta era para ellos, no para los clientes. Ver al cocinero manejando productos sin guantes tampoco ayudó: la higiene parece opcional.

La ensaladilla rusa fue otro misterio culinario, nada que ver con lo que uno espera según uno de los chicos era desconstruida jajajaja jajajaja vaya tomadura de pelo.Eso sí, el camarero Juan fue un verdadero profesional, el único punto brillante de la noche.

En resumen: un sitio memorable por las razones equivocadas.

I got the 4-course lunch menu for $29 & it was so good. I can't believe this is real, in a world where inflation exploded restaurant prices.

Located in Le Central, Pintxo offfers a delicious selection of tapas. My favorite was the Octopus, probably the most tender Octopus i've ever had.

Cuisine & nourriture qui ne méritent rien de moins que 5⭐!
La pieuvre était cuite à la perfection, les pétoncles étaient incroyables, on en aurait commandé 2 douzaines de plus! & que dire des côtelettes d'agneau! Nous n'avons pas pu résister à une deuxième portion!
Bien hâte d'y retourner!
Les DIMANCHES, promo 35$ entrée de haloumi frit avec salade roquette, 2 pétoncles & choix de plat principal (nous avons essayé la pieuvre & les côtelettes d'agneau)
Suivi d'un dessert.
QUELLE DÉCOUVERTE!!!
(notre prix par personne inclus 4 verres de vin & une bière)

Parfait ! Ce lieu mérite à être connu !
Menu unique du midi, entrée plat dessert pour 30$, tout était délicieux, bien présenté, bien travaillé, rien à redire, tout ça dans un environnement décontracté.
Ne mérite pas son nom de bar à tapas car il surpasse bons nombres de restaurants...
