There aren't many tapas places in Exeter, but even if there were, this one is the real deal!! Absolute perfection, from the time you walk in until the amazing tapas are served, close your eyes and you are in Spain! Love the music, the atmosphere, the food, the service, the real Spanish touch, everything about Calvo Loco! Hats off to the owner and all the amazing staff for what this place is! ❤️

Super tiny place full of taste.

Lovely selection of tapas. Very tasty, good beer and good service.

It cost us £70 for two guys (with a drink each)

Feedback for the owners - those Barrell tables are really hard to sit at, and my hip flexors had to work overtime, so if the seats were comfier I’d have enjoyed it that little bit more!

We booked a table and when we arrived we’ve been given the outside table, which has it wasn’t cold for us we didn’t had any problems at all with that but personally I would have preferred an inside one, the staff were very friendly but they were not coming often to serve outside. The food was amazing for me the Croquetas were delicious and the cheese as well, the artichokes were very good too but are from conserve but it’s understandable, the jamon we were a bit disappointed as for the price and for what it says on the menu as Iberic it wasn’t cut properly and didn’t even had a bit of “grasa”, the wine was good and overall the experience was positive and would recommend.

You need to book a table, or sneak in early like we did for a cold sherry and tapas. The place is tiny but the atmosphere is large. Calvo Loco, means 'crazy baldy', and is named after the exuberant British owner. His Spanish wife does the cooking so it's authentic and really delicious and the staff often pick up a guitar and get the party going. It's one of my favourite places to eat and drink in Exeter. We had a simple dish of Tostas de Mariscos with our sherry, heaped with avocado and cod and prawns and sardines, simply yummy.

A buzzing sensory experience. Extensive and well thought out tapas options. All well presented and taste delicious. Excellent service at just the right level.

I would book to get a table (more than 24hrs in advance) but they do have some walk in. Great staff and excellent food.

Menu from August 2022, not including specials.

High quality family made tapas.. each dish arrives when ready for a relaxed meal. I can highly recommend it!

First time here even though we have walked passed it many times. Had an early evening booking and the place was packed full which was great to see.

We had a selection of 6 tapas ranging from Oxtail in Red Wine sauce through to the garlic mushrooms in a parsley sauce. Each dish was delicious and freshly cooked.

The staff were really friendly and played a huge part in the relaxed atmosphere throughout the evening.

A restaurant that is a must for anyone who loves tapas or just a great great relaxing time with friends and family.
