So here I am, I am back here again!!!!
The new MOTTO by UnoMas is:
one more?
much more?
unlimited tapas
at uno mas
Since 2009, I have to say, there have been BIG BIG improvements, and this time it certainly deserves a review.
Some of the staff are still the same that worked there before, and some new ones.
After sitting down, they kindly offered water, and asked if I wanted hot or cold, previously not attended to, and there were more smiles on their faces than before.
The menu was very pleasing, I was happy with their 3 tapas lunch per person before, but now it is unlimited which is even more amazing.
There are 17 choices of tapas including soup and dessert.
Instead of the annoying air conditioning being on during the cold winter, making you colder, they had heater, which made the dining experience alot warmer, and the food was kept warm, unlike those irritating air conditioners.
The only slight dissapointment was the baby squids were not on the tapas menu , i have been craving for it since my last tapas lunch here two years ago, which shows this place is better than it seems since it is still here after 2 year considering alot come and go in the Wan Chai area.
There 17 choices of tapas are:
I tried all the tapas except for 2, 4, 8, 14.
1-PATATAS BRAVAS
Deep fried new potatoes dusted with spicy paprika, served with alioli
COMMENT:
The potatoes were fluffy inside with a crisp outer layer jazzed up by the spicy paprika and the mayonnaise was gorgeous with the potato.
2-ENSALADILLA RUSA
Russian Salad with Tuna
Didnt try:
3-CROQUETA DE POLLO
Chicken potato croquettes
COMMENT:
These were fried just right to crispy golden brown, and the potato inside was silky, however the chicken couldnt be tasted.

4-CALAMARES A LA ANDALUZA
Fried squid rings "Andalucia"
Didnt try:
5-GAMBAS AL AJILLO
Sautéed prawns with garlic
COMMENT:
The prawns were very fresh and the sauce was very appropriate for dipping the bread in.
6-COCA SABLE CON ANCHOAS Y PIMENTO ROJO DEL PIQUILLO
Shortbread with olive tapenade, piquillo red pepper, white anchovies, and Manchego cheese
COMMENT:
This was presented very nicely, the sauce, the layers and it tasted nice especially the olive puree, although I would have preferred savory bread/biscuit.
7-ALBÓNDIGAS CON TOMATE
Meatballs with tomato herb sauce
COMMENT:
These tasted how it should, bit like italian meatballs.
