Rico Libre in Birmingham

We absolutely loved this place! The tapas dishes and margaritas were gorgeous 😍 There was a great atmosphere and Becky our waitress was so upbeat and and spot on in every way. If we didn't live 3 hours away, this would be our go to place! Definitely worth a visit 👌

What a gem, this Tapas bar is a 15min (ish) walk from New Street Station.Once Kanteen closes, they then transform it to Rico Libre Tapas restaurant, I can only confirm it opens a 16 30 on Saturdays.The food was fantastic, we took our own wine there is a small corkage cost, staff are very friendly and your make you very welcome, you are left to relax and enjoy your evening. This is a must visit for Tapas, table reservations are a must as they do get very busy.

Had the most incredible Tapas at Rico Libre last night. Between three of us we ordered about 11 dishes I think and each of them were absolutely incredible. Even the ones you wouldn't expect to be incredible like the Spanish Omelette or patatas were delicious. The calamari and the aubergine were a standout and that's coming from a meat lover!Amazing atmosphere and the fact you can bring your own drink at a total charge of £2.50pp means the bill is so reasonable.Great service too.Can't wait to go back

Lovely Spanish restaurant, staff super friendly. Great atmosphere!

We have been to Rico Libre twice now and both times were amazing. The customer service, atmosphere and food was great. Would highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect tapas place. The food was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were good for the reasonable costs, great drink selection too. Thanks to Seren and Matt for looking after us as always.

Beautiful food, really reasonably priced, staff were lovely. Highly recommend. My fav dish of the night... crispy aubergines with honey.

Really good food! Would recommend for tapas in the U.K.

Always a pleasure, its my favourite restaurant in brum. The food is amazing and fizz is always welcoming and friendly he remembers us every time 👌

Came with my partner for a Thursday evening treat. Booking was easy and quick, via the online platform.Greeting was excellent from the host (who I believe was also the manager - the guy with hair tied up in a bun). He gave us a full run through of how to order as well as seperate menus we could order from - drinks, tapas and the Thursday special paella. As a pescetarian the menu offered loads of veggie & seafood options as well as meaty options for my partner.Service was excellent, especially from Crystal - what a gem! We had some delicious Sangria made fresh in house, bread balsamic and olives as well as an array of seafood - the linguini, Octopus, calamari and prawns. All of them were packed full of flavour and generously dished onto the plates, the chef clearly puts a huge amount of effort into everything that's served.Bop, the chef, was amazing and gave us a taster of the seafood paella too (seeing as we were so stuck for what to chose at the start), and we were obsolete gobsmacked by the flavours and quality.Hands down the best tapas restaurant in Birmingham (maybe even further?), with special thanks to the exceptional front of house & really unique and extraordinary chef. Can't wait to visit again, keep it up folks!

They have a fantastic outdoor seating area where the old pond used to be. It was gorgeous sitting in the sun and eating. Great range of Tapas, sangria is well recommended. You can also bring your own but they do have a corkage fee of £2.50. Everyone was able to eat something, what ever their dietary need. Staff was great.
