Taquero / Bar Iberico

A stylish and affordable Spanish style tapas bar situated in the heart of the Hockley area has been a buzzing spot for regular Hockley diners since it opened its doors in 2016. Built on the reputation of its older sister ‘Iberico’ a long standing fine dining tapas restaurant a few minutes away in the Lace Market, Iberico is its faster and more casual partner. Serving Spanish-style breakfasts, pinchos, tapas and flatbreads this much loved local restaurant is a solid and reliable source of mouth watering casual dining, be it a lazy breakfast or evening out with friends. A great place for pre-film snacks if you are on the way to Broadway or a full evening out with friends and family, Iberico is pretty much a guaranteed good night out. What’s more, this great local business has just opened a second venue ‘Taquero’ just around the corner at the top of Heathcoat Street specialising in Mexican food. Despite Mexican food being a big trend in the UK in recent years, Nottingham has lacked a good Mexican casual dining restaurant, thankfully the team at Iberico, have got it sorted. Another great addition to Hockley’s international flavour and another great dinner on the doorstep of Fruit Market.
