If you fancy being mis-informed and shouted at by totally unknowledgeable staff  then La Rueda is the place for you.
 
If you fancy a kiddie's disco whilst attempting to eat a meal then once again La Rueda is the place for you.
 
If, on the other hand you fancy a good Spanish meal served by friendly staff, who know about food and the way customers should be treated then you should avoid La Rueda at all costs.
 
I and 8 members of my family attempted to eat there last Saturday - the food and the service was atrocious and when we complained about it, the waitress/manager accused us all of complaining so that we could hopefully get a free meal by doing so.
 
I am a trained chef and owned a restaurant in Central London for a number of years - my daughter works in the catering industry and knows the business inside out. My wife, who is part Spanish was accused of not understanding the Spanish menu - she was also accused of being "old" - she is in her early 50s.
 
At the end of the day we paid our bill and left, vowing never to return there again. I suggest you save yourself the hassle and steer clear of this most unfriendly and incompetent place to start with.

Changed days!

So very sad to witness the decline of this once landmark restaurant 

I have eaten here over the last thirty years and spread the word for years of how authentic it was.

On my last visit there....which will be my LAST 

I was pretty disgusted and disappointed by the tasteless spread set before my guest and myself! I was very embarrassed!

service was fine but what's wrong with the chef? Seems he/she has given up any passion or pride in his dishes.

Surely  he/she must realise that even  Benidorm would make a better effort with Spanish cuisine!
