Nice food, although both dishes we've ordered were overloaded with onions! Also "fried octopus" is really "stewed octopus", would be nice if that would be clearer.Some tables are very close to the kitchen, so it's impossible to sit there in the evening, as it gets very loud and its where all the cutleries etc, but we've asked to change a table and the service was very nice to accommodate our request.House rose wine is rather average, I wouldn't recommend that, but would definitely come back for oysters, they were delicious!

Food is wonderful, highly recommended.On our first visit we asked the waiter how many plates would be enough. He said 4, we ordered 7 because we couldn't decide and wanted to try so many 😂🐷. He was right! I could not move afterwards.My favourite restaurant in Purley.

Great place for a big friends or family gathering. Quite a loud, fun atmosphere. Good service. Just be aware the tapas are all large, so careful not to over order. Many of them are a meal in themselves and served with sides.

Last night at Las Fuentes was an awful experience. I went out with family and friends some of whom I haven't seen in over two years. Surprisingly, being sat next to a large group of diners who spent the entire evening shouting, banging the tables and whistling wasn't the worst part. No, eventually our order was taken and eventually our food arrived. Except for mine. Every few minutes a flagged down waiter would come by and explain it would just be a few minutes. The best part of an hour later it did eventually arrive and it was probably quite good but the opportunity to enjoy it had long since passed. Apparently, we weren't charged for my order. I don't know as I'd left long before the bill came. This was my first time in a restaurant since the pandemic. I remembered Las Fuentes being quite good. Maybe it still is and I was just unlucky. I don't care. I'll never set foot in that place again.

This was my third visit here. The last two times were a year or two back and the service and food was incredible. This time, it definitely wasn’t. The food wasn’t great and def not worth the London prices. The tapas down the road at Galicia in South Croydon is reasonably priced, tasty and with great portion sizes. Here is was £20 for six cubes of meat on a stick, two of which were burnt chorizo. Absolute joke. Also the bread was just terrible, have never had such tasteless bread in a restaurant, might as well have been hovis. Served with a dish full of olive oil and a singular drop of balsamic. Pretty rank. The Ice cream and Churros were good, as was the waiter who took over at 3pm.

My daughter had her birthday celebrated there last week. There was a great atmosphere and we all had alot of fun. Although very busy the food was very good hot and not too long to be served. Staff attentive and pleasant, in particular front of house who seated everyone without any fuss.

We went and ate here today. 10 of us. What we did bank on was a bad stomach ache after. 3 I have spoken too have mentioned this.The restaurant is good inside. Service however was terrible. The server also kept his mask below his nose and kept wiping his nose with his fingers. It was disgusting and he was serving our food.Customer service was from okay to poor.
