Calvo Loco Tapas Bar

07/09/2026

Well… we’ve finally had a minute to come up for air! 🇪🇸

It’s been 2 weeks since we opened the doors to Calvo Loco Exmouth and, genuinely, we’ve been blown away by the response.

You’ve kept us ridiculously busy, left us some incredible 5⭐ reviews and given the new team the warmest welcome we could have asked for.

It hasn’t all been perfect. We’ve had a couple of services where you’ve really tested how fast we can move, and we felt it! 💤 But we’ve learnt a huge amount, made changes and we’re getting better every week thanks to your support and feedback.

And somehow, while all of this has been going on, our little Exeter restaurant has been absolutely flying too ❤️

So a massive thank you to everyone who has eaten, drank, reviewed, recommended us or simply told someone about Calvo over the last few weeks.

And if you haven’t made it in yet…

Come and see what all the fuss is about 🇪🇸

Seven years ago, Calvo Loco opened its doors for the first time.

Since then, it has become a much-loved part of Exeter’s food scene thanks to the hard work of the team who built it and the incredible support of our guests.

Over the past few years, we’ve had the privilege of continuing that journey and helping Calvo grow into what it is today.

Now, we’re working on something exciting behind the scenes…

The next chapter of Calvo Loco is underway. 🇪🇸

Any guesses what we’re up to?
