If you like authentic Spanish tapas, this is the place. There is an amazing selection of small plates that you choose from. The quality of the food is excellent. My only recommendation is to spice up the bravas sauce a little. The atmosphere is casual...and the staff are very friendly. The owner will mingle with customers and treats them like family. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.More

Easy to book online, and best to do so for Friday and Saturday evening slots . It was especially busy when we went, maybe because it was still Happy hour. Lots of loud groups (of men) combined with loud music, so not easy to talk...and be heard, but gives it a lively atmosphere. Service was quietly friendly and efficient. Food and drinks came quickly once ordered. Good variety of tasty Spanish food on the menu if you eat meat (including pork/ jambon) and fish . Some vegetarian dishes available (cheese/ eggplant/ tomato based) . I’m not sure this is a place for vegans! Adequate portions - 4 dishes between two of us was sufficient, and moderately priced. Overall an enjoyable but noisy evening.More

We enjoyed a meal celebrating our anniversary. Food was delicious and restaurant and bathroom both clean. Staff had good English skills and were prompt and efficient. It was over motogp weekend and was busy. Would recommend to others visiting Kuala Lumper.

The atmosphere is good and the booze is reasonable. The tapas are good standard and you can dine well for about 200 myr if you stick to beers for drinks.

We have been going to this place since 2014. I must say, their portions have shrunk substantially and this has affected the standard in their food. We were there last week, and noticed that a few tapas were not as good as they used to...be. For example, their baked mushrooms have shrunk and this in turn affected the texture of the dish. The mushrooms now look wrinkled and pathetic. To add insult to injury, their Spanish croquettes used to be very good. But now, they have reduced the size of these croquettes so much that one can no longer taste the creaminess of the fillings and can only taste the breadcrumbs coating of the croquettes. The whole thing tasted dry. For their Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns), although the size of their prawns is still the same but I noticed that they now give you 6 prawns instead of 8. In the past, they were quite generous with the garlic bits in this dish (hello, it's called garlic prawns for a reason!), it has now reduced by at least 60%! I understand that times are tough with Covid-19, but I hope the operators can continue to maintain the standard in their food. After all, they did revise their prices not too long ago. From a concerned loyal customer.More

This restaurant is on the up-market side. Food & drinks are expensive compare to the other bar & restaurants along changkat. Food portions are served more for snacks size. I enjoyed the oven baked mushrooms & chicken garlic. The pan tumaca is kind of solid...& dry. Nice dining experience. Clean restaurant & friendly service crew.More

I have been coming to Pinchos for over 7 years, and they have been incredibly consistent with their food quality, cocktails, service and atmosphere. Undoubtedly the best Spanish bar in KL. Highly recommended!

We ordered 5-6 different tapas and they were quite delicious. A bit oily and expensive though for such small plates. Service was good and drinks too.

Amazing tapas! Had 5 dishes. Great manchego and the bikini sandwich (cheese and iberico ham toasted!!) was to die for. Would happily return.

It's a non-hallal place... but there are lots of tapas without meat (They also serve sea food tapas!)
