Cucurico

You're walking into somewhere that actually gets Spanish food right—none of that overpriced tourist nonsense. Cucurico sits quietly on Hobs Moat Road, the kind of spot you'd walk past if you weren't paying attention, but once you're in, you're genuinely transported. The kitchen takes its time with croquetas, jamón, and seafood that tastes like it remembers the Mediterranean. It's the sort of place where you can tell the owners actually care; the cocktails are proper, the wine list knows what it's doing, and the crowd is proper Solihull—locals who've cottoned on, not Instagram tourists. Book ahead or you'll be disappointed.
