Shrewsbury has some fascinating architecture with streets that have an almost medieval feel. So with the great reviews and the atmospherics we were already in a good mood when we went into the restaurant for the first time.
We were not disappointed - eating in Spain regularly we have become wary of so called Tapas UK style which never fails to fail but Casa Naranjo is the real deal. We have eaten here three times now and it has been good every time, our go to restaurant when in Shrewsbury now.
Having now had everything on the perfectly sized menu it is hard to pick out favourites but the boquerones, croquetas and ox cheeks are my top three. Food is definitely fresh with real flavours that only come from careful preparation and cooking with the right ingredients.
Very much the feel of a genuine Spanish restaurant to back up the genuine food with friendly professional staff and perfectly paced service.
The menu has something for everyone - it is online and worth having a look. Portions are generous but not overwhelming and the freshness of everything throughout the meal is a testament to their commitment to really delicious and tasty food.
Most of the customers look like regulars we were made to feel as if we were too- but not in an artificial way.
Everyone who was here looked like they really wanted to be here, customers and staff - brisk, knowledgeable, attentive, cheerful and pleasantly efficient. Spotlessly clean throughout.
Prices are exactly right for what you are getting - again they are on the website, neither cheap nor expensive. But very good value.
On the admin side - easy to get to but if you are not familiar with Shrewsbury use a map! Parking is easy - don't try the street [like us first time] 2 carparks nearby.
