Absolutely love tintos. Service sometimes a bit slow but the food makes up for it. It's first class and so is the sangria.

I was extremely disappointed with the Tinto Tapas Restaurant in East Kilbride. We took my mother in law out for lunch on Mother’s Day hoping to have a nice Spanish meal. Me, being from Spanish descent, was excited to try flavours from my home country. Instead, none of the foods offered on the menu were Spanish. To say they were “Spanish-inspired” would have also been a stretch. I ordered mussels as the starter and pork loin as the main, with patatas bravas and roasted vegetables as my side. The mussels were noticeably not fresh, many having a white-ish colour and sticking to the shell. The garlic bread that came with the mussels was a thin slice of hard, toasted sliced white bread with some garlicky oil on it. They brought the mussels out about 10 minutes before the bread so our mussels had time to turn like warm….. lovely…The pork loin medallions were very thin and thus very very tough, the sauce was watery, and the mushrooms were cooked in that way that just makes them a bit slimy.The roasted vegetables were nice enough but cooked too long so they were all soft and mushy, no bite to them at all.The patatas bravas…. Well…. They were just chips, really. Just fried potatoes with salt as they did not have any sauce on they at all. When I tried to tell the waitress this as she brought the plates (thinking it had probably been a mistake) she just dismissed me saying there were more plates coming.Nope… our patatas bravas were never to be. The table beside us did get some potato chips with a puckish looking sauce on them which I can only assume was the “salsa brava”….. never have I seen salsa brava looking like that.The sangria we ordered was basically fruit juice. They didn’t even bother putting in the nice bits of fruit… just orange rind. What a disgrace.None of us went for dessert… not even a coffee. We were all just dying to get out of there.It was such a horrible experience, and really put a damper on Mother’s Day.Tinto Tapas Restaurant in East Kilbride is not only somewhere that I will never visits again, but I will also actively dissuade anyone who will listen from going to that unprofessional and overly priced venue.

To say we are regulars to Tinto is an understatement! We pretty much have a meal at least once a month and it is our favourite Eatery in East Kilbride.Unfortunately i never thought we would ever give a bad review, but here we are.We dropped in for Brunch and ordered 2 x Paprika Hand Cut Chips & a Spanish type Fry Up which has Chorizo Sausage instead of normal Sausage.Both plates of chips were overcooked, and were very translucent looking, which suggests to me, they were either reheated or were actually frozen chips, and neither of us finished them.The Fry Up was just as bad, the Chorizo Sausage was cold and seemed undercooked. The bread was toasted but was far to dry & crispy, and i would suggest you put some spread to soften it up.The grilled Tomato was cold and solid and was not grilled or fried for long enough imo!First time i had tried the fry up but wont be ordering again.I would still recommend Tintos if you want a different type of meal with the Tapas they offer, and i have had far more good experiences than this bad one.But if you go, id stay away from the fry up.

Best restaurant in East Kilbride.Best tapas ive been to in Glasgow or surrounding area.Staff very welcoming without hanging over you at tge same time.Great cosy atmosphere and with the decor and music you could be mistaken you where in spain itself.Toilets spotless also.Strawberry daiquiri superb.3 tapas for £14.50 on a Saturday night i challange anyone to suggest anywhere with better value for money.Only bad point is i dont live local and was only visiting the area so i wont be able to visit as much as i would like to.10/10 ?

First time here. Family of four. Had a selection of various tapas dishes and got a chance to sample a good chunk of the menu between us. Everything was really tasty and great value when you go for the three-tapas-dish deal.Service was prompt and friendly as well. Really could not fault it.Would definitely come back but have two very minor criticisms:1. We sat near a window and it was pretty cold. The toilets were roasting so obviously the heating was on, but we felt a bit chilly where we were sat.2. Could be doing with dimming the lighting a bit for a better atmosphere.Overall though a great experience and really good value.

The food was so tasty as always, however we won't be back as the service was atrocious - right down to the waitress not understanding allergies - despite us checking when we booked, and as we ordered - we still received items that we couldn't eat and in this day and age there's no excuse, it could've ruined the whole festive period !Dietary restrictions: The waitress's don't understand what gluten free means and they don't pass it on to the kitchen.

Really good vibe, lovely food and good service. Will use again.
Very disappointed in our latest visit today, called ahead and wasn't busy so we're able to go down straight away. Arrived just after 4pm, table for 4, ordered drinks n they all came aside from water for 1 of us..which we had to ask for when it still hadn't arrived a gd 15 mins in. Ordered from festive menu and ala carte.. 2 out of 3 starters were brought out, we had to ask for the 3rd which obviously hadn't been made, mistakes happen so we waited and it came within 5 minutes. Main courses was a complete shambles.. 9 tapas plates were ordered and a meat platter.. not only did we wait at least 40 minutes for food to begin to arrive but it was brought out in partial orders! Some of them were luke warm also, other lovely but 3 of us were eating at different times and the kicker was 1 person didn't eat at all as we left, tired of waiting, after 1 hr 20 mins, their food having never been served. I don't know what happened but food not being served together defeats the purpose of a meal together. Really disappointed and left a sour note of our evening out for Panto.

Service was terrible. Over 1jr to get starters then one forgotten. Tapas serves to party at different times. One member waited over 1hr 30mins for meal. We asked to cancel and leave £66 for tapas and 2 drinks and food that was not great. Have been several times before and never had this standard off food or service. Dreadful.

Tintos is fantastic. You will wait slightly longer for food than other places but this is because they have to make like 12 different dishes for you which are always fantastic.
