The service here was amazing and so friendly!! The atmosphere too is great, you really do feel like you’re walking down the alley into some kind of Mediterranean building. The raegatton music also was great atmosphere.The food is definitely tapas and slightly pinchos. They have really good deals for food too and reasonable prices. For not being in Spain, it was quite reasonable! :)Parking: I parked in North Car Park, Sundays it was free.

We visited with friends last night and whilst the service was good, the whole restaurant desperately needs a deep clean, refurbishment and improvements made to the food. We ordered the mixed paella which was fine but very bland, not much flavour, but nothing exciting/exceptional. The tapas was again not very flavourful. The restaurant is really starting to need a refurbishment and a very deep clean, it is very unclean/greasy, not to mention the awful state of the toilets. I hope something is done soon, otherwise it might continue to go downhill.

Went for some food as fancied some Spanish food as a belated anniversary thing and was pleasantly surprisedGood: friendly service, keen pricing for this kind of food, mostly ok size servings (not overly generous). Average service time.Food generally tasty, hot and well made.Less good: A bit cold (temp) and atmosphere more bar than restaurant? (If that was what you were expecting)Stuffed mushrooms only contained one mushroom!Overall a good choice.

Cool place. Food is good. Just needs a bit of a clean. Table was dirty. Found the lights in the end ! Odd but I do like the place

We didn’t plan for Tapas but went on the recommendation of one of our hotel staff. Food prices were reasonable and all dishes were tasty and well presented. Our waiter made a mistake with our order but immediately offered the error for free and reordered our original choice which came quickly. Wine by the glass prices were also reasonable.

Wow what a find in Midhurst High Street. I took my Auntie & Mum Saturday evening, staff are very friendly and engaging, drinks excellent value, food well what can I say it was blimming amazing ...the medium paella was delicious (make sure you havnt eaten all day ) there was so much and full of seafood it was all very tasty! Cocktails on offer from 5pm to 8pm excellent value . I will be recommending Faustinos to family and friends. THANKYOU!

Absolute gem of a find for dinner tonight. It was very quiet but that was to our advantage. Fantastic tapas and the service was excellent

We'd heard food was good at this tapas bar, so walked through the unlit alleyway to the restaurant which was empty apart from one young family (wearing their coats and the mother had a woolly hat on). So we asked the young waiter if he could put some heating on. Turned out he was new and knew nothing. He told us the boss would be arriving in 45 minutes and then carried on talking to his friend. We requested the wifi password (he didn't know it). We ordered two glasses of rioja. I asked the female chef was boquerones were and she told me potatoes (they are, of course, anchovies!). Basically the staff were absolutely clueless and had no training, so had no idea how to welcome us or make us feel welcome. We asked for padron peppers - they had none. So we told the waiter we were leaving - his response? "OK guys". No wonder this restaurant was empty. Went across the road to red.h restaurant which was warm, welcoming, great food.

Went on a mid-week night. Place was pretty busy which is a good sign. Staff were friendly. There was a good selection on the menu & everything we had was very nice.

One of the few places to eat in Midhurst, and have something different to the usual pub servings. We ate here on a Tuesday night and sadly were the only customers. However we were warmly welcomed and ordered tapas dishes, until we were full. I'd recommend the Sizzling Hot Prawns, for a bit of a fun chilli kick!
Popped in for some tapas. My squid was a tad tough but otherwise OK.

Cracking night. Really great staff all very engaging and friendly. Look forward to treating ourselves again soon.

Great Spanish restaurant all but hidden in the high street. Well worth a visit with some excellent dishes and great service. Highly recommended and to boot they are one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday night.

Lovely tapas food, recommend the prawn and chorizo skewers. Cocktails could have been stronger and less sugary.

We ordered four items from the menu and only one item was edible. Our paella was full of crushed shell- I have never known muscle shells to crack before? Our calamari wasn’t seasoned at all- it was served with Hellman’s Mayo. If you like Mayo, it would be a great dish as it was the only flavour detectable. Our prawns were sizzling in heaps of oil and no other flavour, though otherwise okay. The potato bravas resembled a school dinner, oily, burnt chips with tomato sauce blobbed on top. We concluded it was the worst menu we had ever eaten. Service was fine though hence the two stars. The waitress did forget our olives but we were happy to get out of the restaurant so we didn’t mind.
