مطعم جميل جداً بالذات باييلا 👍🏼😍

الطعام لابأس به والخدمه مقبوله ولكن يحتاج المطعم الاهتمام اكثر من حيث الشكل والنظافه (تجديد)

مكان جميل لكن لاانصح بزيارته براس السنه للمسلمبن

Fantastic people and service. Super kind crew and manager , thank you all . They give us one extra Sangria pitcher for free . We enjoyed our time so much. Will go back soon . Thank you Rodolfo and all your crew.<br/>

The best Spanish food in Abu Dhabi! Super authentic and worth the drive all the way to Yas. I'd recommend their patatas bravas, paella de mariscos, and amazing prawn croquettes.<br/><br/>Highest compliment to the Chef!

Great food, table servers are phenomenal but the manager is AWFUL. I don’t enjoy going to places with a manager that treats his staff AND his customers with rudeness. He’s impolite and made our experience very uncomfortable. Definitely wouldn’t pay to be uncomfortable.

Best paella I’ve had in AD!

Diablito's is our go-to spot for a weekend evening. There's always a good vibe, and cool music playing. I like the ambience, and that there are lots of seating options. Food and drinks are also tops. My favourites are chicken nachos and their pizzas. Standard deliciousness. Standard.

Great place to have some spanish tapas! This is my favorite place at Yas Marina! Great views from the rooftop. Great service and great food!

I've been here a few times and never left disappointed.<br/>We spent the NYE night here with friends and family, we even had 2 babies with us and I must say they were very accommodating.<br/>The service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br/>Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ( I didn't like the pizza very much or I shall say I like other's more, something to do with the crust) I loved the prawn appetizers<br/>Ambiance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br/>I loved the fact that there was no minimum spent for NYE and we even got the airline discount 💙<br/>The location is very well positioned with the view of the yachts and good view of the fireworks.<br/>Will definitely go back!

Good restaurant to chill with freinds, ambience is good, great view of Yas marina, pizza choice is good, service is good, overall good experience

Pizza selection is great and they taste good too but the large cava sangria is the life of the party. Packed with fresh fruit it is really refreshing while on the roof top during the cooler months. Staff are friendly and the service is good although at times can be a little slow.

Great service! The staff were super attentive and friendly, and food was so good. Worth the drive to Yas Island. Totally coming back the next time I am in Abu Dhabi!

سرت مخصوص اجرب السلطه والناجوز المكان حلو وكان هادي تقريباً ولو انه يوحي العكس بس يمكن الوقت اللي سرتله كان بعده مب ربشه المهم ماعلينا خدمتهم شوي تعيسه يعني تقعد داخل ومحد درى عنك وتقعد سنه تأشر لين يعطونك ويه والمكان حلو ونظيف والاكل زين بس مب وااو يعني طلبنا كذا شي بس ماصورت كل شي نسيت وشكراً

Although service was good, food was very average! We ordered the vegetarian fajitas, duo fajitas, and nachos and they tasted no better than food court quality.

Good ambience and service....a good restaurant to hop in for quick snacks n drinks while at yaz... did try the food menu.. so no comments at the moment..

A good place to chill with friends esp when the weather gets better. A great view of yas marina. The nachos with jalapenos were good, got a lot of cheese - I love cheese!! My friends ordered the mozarella salad and chicken fajita and were okay. The shrimp pasta was a bit dry but has good flavor. Kudos to the staff for their service. Very helpful indeed.

Visited Diablito on a quiet week night and sat on the upper deck. We were immediately greeted and seated and the deals and promotions were explained. Our server was very professional as he recommended items on the food menu to try, even though we have come over just for drinks and in the end convinced us to try some of them out. All in all a wonderful experience. Well done, Diablito! We will be seeing each other again. The ambiance is great, as well.. overlooking Yas marina doesn't get much better than this!

Not bad Spanish food... we enjoyed the meatballs (nice and juicy), the Spanish omelette, gambas al ajillo and the piquillo peppers. It's a lovely place to have dinner in winter time at the rooftop terrace. Great view

Diablito is a good spot for drinks, and some tapas too.<br/><br/>The sangria is here pretty good, food can be good although I found the place a bit inconsistent. Best dish:Nachos.<br/><br/>The setting is really cool, overlooking the Yas viceroy and circuit, it's a really cool place for sunset drinks.

One of my new favorites places ❤️ cool stuff, great rooftop seating (under renovation right now), cozy indoors, delicious food (BEST nachos in the UAE).

Cannot begin to express my love for this place. Last night I visited Diablito with my family and we ordered a portion of the bread and aioli, a granddad for the 2 persons and a Mediterranean, the 2 people portion and WOW. The food was beyond amazing, taste wise and presentation wise. The service was alright, super friendly and inviting staff and that's super important for customers. The atmosphere and weather were just compliments to the whole experience. I suggest people who haven't been here to definitely go visit it and have a great time.

It has a lovely view on yas marina. The day that we went there was quite cold and windy outside so we sit in a warm table inside the restaurant, we ordered Nachos el paso with chicken and guacamole and I REALLY LOVED IT! The pizza is good too. We end up with desert with candle to celebrate a privet occasion. Overall, Great service, delicious food and wonderful location.

didn't eat but drank wine (the rioja), great value for money. comes with tapas. The service staff are great.<br/><br/>Turns out my review needs to be at least 140 words long

Best sangria in abu dhabi and delicious pizza as well.. Their nachos also worth to try. 👌 Nice marina view, relaxing enviroment. Little expensive however considering the quality and the crowd coming, it is still ok.

The restaurant location has a good ambiance for a chill night out. The service of the staff is amazing as well. However, the food is nothing special.

Me and my wife just left from there because of the rude staff. <br/>Sunday evening, place empty inside and outside 2 empty tables. One waiter told us to sit down, another one came to stand us up. <br/>Lack of professionalism and manager was not available (according to the waiter)<br/>Not interested to visit this place soon.

Fun evening out with drinks before the weather got humid! Sat on the terrace with a terrific view of the Viceroy and the parked boats. Ordered a loaded nachos with our drinks and it was simply amazing! Definitely going back once summer is over!

The place is nice, make sure to reserve at the 1st floor so you dont end up waiting for an hour.<br/><br/>The location is really good, good is good, waiters are nice but they have a shortage in staff and their dessert are amazing. They have such good desserts

I love the tapas and the atmosphere is wonderful! Being able to have my Italian aperitivo in Abu Dhabi is simply amazing #spritzaperol I recommend the restaurant to everyone, the location is beautiful and the staff is very friendly!

Ambiance: casual chill out joint<br/>Service: attentive and prompt<br/>Food: was a let down.. Was no where near compare to service/location...<br/>Will visit: only for drinks... Very relaxing with view of Yas Marina....<br/>

هذا المطعم من المطاعم المميزة جداً نظراً لقلة وجود المطاعم الأسبانية في أبوظبي، بصراحة المطعم جلساتة و الأتموسفير فيه رهيييب جداً، و الجلسات فيه مريحة جداً و خاصة في الشتاء كونه يطل على مرسى يخوت ياس الرائع، اما بالنسبة للأكل بصراحة انا شخصياً اعشق الأكل المكسيكي و الأسباني و اللي يمكن يخليني متحيز نوعاً ما في هذا الريفيو، لكن بشكل عام هذا افضل مكان تتجه له في حال كانت رغبتك سبانيوليه 🐂 <br/>الخدمة في المطعم ممتازة جداً و الويترز عندهم معرفة و اسلوب خدمة ممتاز.<br/><br/>مكان جميل جداً لجميع افراد العائلة او الاجواء الرومنسية او اي اجواء اخرى.

Relaxing ambiance with marina view at terrace, fast service, succulent beef fajita...the only thing that i prefer sizzling fajita served in the pot where it is cooked.

I went to Diablito but I wasn't so hungry so I just ordered the cheese nachos. It was so good 👌🏼<br/>The location is great a beautiful roof seating with amazing view to the Yas Marina ❤️<br/>

Half of the food was poor quality, the patas bravas were cold, tasted as though they were from the freezer. the garlic prawns also were poor quality as if frozen. The nachos were adequate although there was an extra charge for the dips. The price was extremely expensive for the poor quality of food. The atmosphere and service was good but go somewhere else if you are looking for nice food.

Perfect spot for an early dinner with some sangria! <br/>Lovely staff, lovely venue and nice food. Don't expect a high grade dining experience but a very nice chilled one with some ok food.

Ambience is so cool, and fresh, decoration is simple but stylish, music in harmony of the place, everybody seems happy which is the most important thing to me, food is good enough. Service is excellent, waiters are positive,gentle, and presentable, they love what they do so you will love them and eventually you love the restaurant. Thanks for Joe the best waiter there.

Great view... nice location, especially the roof after 5:30<br/>Staff is friendly and service was good.<br/>Tried the pizza.. it was just perfect.<br/>Very good place in general.

A great place to unwind, have some great food and drinks along Yas Marina.<br/>I love how hospitable the staff are and they are very friendly.<br/>They give excellent service to anyone and add some special touch when there's a celebration with the guest.<br/><br/>The smoothies are worth to try since it's very fresh.<br/>The nachos with cheese and toppings is the bomb.<br/>It taste so good and leave you wanting more.<br/>The pizza taste good too, I may suggest to try the marinara pizza.<br/><br/>I always love to come back to this place.<br/>Worth place to visit! :)

Perfect place to sip on a sangria & watch the sun go down on the yas marina. The pizza here is sizeable & tasty. Some of the tapas are also quite worth a try but if not for the food this place is a definite must try for the chilled out atmosphere.

Could not have chosen a better place to dine and kick of the culinary journey for 2016. Stunning views from the terrace + ambience + music gives it a 5/5. We just let ourselves loose n tasted all the beers ...... Tiger still ends up to be my favorite...😉<br/>On the food side we started with Chicken Croquettes which were nice n crispy on the outside n soft n tender on the inside along with Garlic Bread which was surprisingly served in a different manner making it a lite bite. For the main course we had Spaguetti with Pink Sauce... and I must say its one of the best pasta I've had in a long time. A special praise for the Mediterranean Pizza...thin crust...fresh veggies/ingredients...cheesy....love it this way...n wud come back for more. <br/>The attendant's are all very courteous esp Mr.Joe 👍<br/>It was great evening spent with best friends .... Keep it up Team Diablito 🍻

Its a lovely place with Yas marina view. Enjoyed the ambience and food. Not that expensive. Had a barbeque chicken pizza with chilled beer..

Amazing views over Yas Marina. Especially from the upper terrace. The pizzas are amazing. They have some good happy hour offers. The tapas dishes are very nice, I just wish they had more Spanish food on offer.

Nice place overviewing Abu Dhabi port and the formula one circuit! We enjoyed having drinks and food while hearing the noise of the try outs. The food is good (tex-mex cuisine) while the Sangria can be better. Overall, it is a nice place.

Average food. Music from nearby restaurants gets mixed up at night and it is quite annoying to be enjoying your dinner outside.<br/>Took ages for the main course to be delivered.

Had a wonderful evening at Diablito food and music! <br/><br/>It was my first time to Yas Marina as I live in Dubai and always think that Dubai is perhaps much better than Abu Dhabi. Yas Marina looks lovely with Marina views, yachts, fountains (kids were having a good time here), beautiful view of Yas Viceroy hotel and good dining options around. <br/><br/>I reached Diablito dinner around 8 pm on Tuesday evening. They have an option to sit outside on ground floor, sit outside, or sit on the terrace. We choose to sit on the terrace as the weather has improved so much now. Its a beautiful terrace with cane furniture and good views. The restaurant had a holiday feel which was quite relaxing. <br/>Ambience: 4.5/5<br/><br/>We ordered for a jug of Sangria with some starters. Sangria: Set the mood. Perfect to go with the place<br/>Garlic prawn tapas: Good taste but very less quantity. Comes in a very small bowl. <br/>Spanish olives: This you would generally get as complimentary in Spain but here they charged<br/>Montaditos: Average<br/>Cheese nachos with salsa: good cheesy in better quantity. Can be shared between 2-3. <br/>The portion of appetizers (except nachos) is strictly for one person. Appetizers 3/5<br/><br/>Next we moved to main course. <br/>We ordered Leos pizza and Beef Pizza(I didnt taste the latter) The pizza could be shared by 3 easily. The crust could have been a bit more crisp but nevertheless the pizza was amazing. Thin crust with good amount of toppings. <br/>We also ordered some chicken croquettes and potato fries. Both were delicious. Main course 4/5<br/><br/>After that we ordered some irish coffee, baileys coffee, brownie with ice cream and some Spanish desert. Brownie had real good presentation. Even the coffees. All were really good. Sad they didn't have the carrot cake. Deserts 4/5<br/><br/>Service. This is where I was a little disappointed. The server didnt try to suggest something. He didnt ask if we need deserts after we were done with main course. Also he missed to get one of the deserts. And the food took some time to arrive. But he was a good polite guy. 3.5/5<br/><br/>Overall 4/5. Would go back again! <br/><br/><br/>

A very bad experience. It feels like you are in a food court or less. It is almost a self service restaurant and the food is average to bad. The only good thing about this restaurant is the venue, the view of yas viceroy hotel and the yachts.

Had a very pleasant dinner here last weekend. The venue itself is spectacular, perched over the water at Yas Marina with views of the luxury yachts, Yas Viceroy hotel & the formula one circuit.<br/><br/>We were greeted warmly and shown to our table. Seating options are either on the roof terrace or the outside deck, either of which is a great place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.<br/><br/>Despite what other reviewers have said, it was not busy (it was a Thursday night) and the service was efficient. <br/><br/>The menu is a mish-mash of Spanish tapas, pizza and tex mex. We started with the loaded nachos which were amazing & just as described - in fact I have never seen so much cheese on one dish in my entire life! It is safe to say they were delicious. <br/><br/>For our main course we split a pizza (the restaurant does not sell pizzas for one person) and though a fair size - it could actually easily have served one person. The dough was nice and crispy and the chicken topping flavoursome.<br/><br/>All in all this is a good spot for dinner and a few drinks. Coupled with the great view and large portions - this an ideal choice for an evening out on Yas.

Really happy with the service in this restaurant, the waiters were very friendly and helpful. For starter we went for the nachos with jalapeños and I would ask for guacamole as its not included on the dish. For a main there was a mixture of vegetarian pizza, spaghetti bolognese, chicken fajitas and chilli con carney. All was very tasty and the portions are big. Would go back again!

I just tried drinks from them and it was good 3.5 out of 5 for drinks.

Been there, done that!<br/><br/>Food : 4/5<br/>Drinks : 4/5 <br/>Ambience : 4.5/5 (Best view of the Marina)<br/>Service : 4.5/5 <br/><br/>Must Try : Pancho Villa Pizza with extra Pineapple

Ate here twice over the last two months. And both times I had a pleasant experience. The service is warm and friendly, and the beers chilled just right. We tried two pizzas( Napolitana and Leo's) two salads (Chicken tower and Greek) , Nachos with dip and a few others. <br/>The Pizzas were very well prepared, with the ingredients fresh and the flavors hitting the right spot. The Salsa dip for the Nachos was perhaps as fresh as it gets. <br/>Though the weather is getting hotter by the day, I would surely try and get one last visit in. Sitting on the deck upstairs, in the open was a good experience. The portion sizes for the Pizzas are huge, and the Salad is pretty substantial as well. The Chicken Tower salad is good for one person. <br/><br/>I wouldn't change anything on the menu or service, other than visit them again to try other items on the menu. Keep up the good service and food!

Great food and lovely tapas. One of the best pizzas in AD. Variated menu of wines, including a really good Sangria of Cava. Location is simply fantastic.

Friendly staff.. Nice view of the marina.. Upbeat music.. Brilliant food and drinks.. Sangria is awesome and ask them to make it a bit more stronger and they are happy to spoil you.

Great location, especially if it's cool outside. The tapas items are all pretty good. Highly recommend the brie and almond with honey mustard. Finally the pizzas are definitely the highlight of the menu. Great place overall.

Nice location. Average to Good service depending on who approaches you or the table you are sitting (this seems to be standard in many places deemed high-end across UAE). The highlights: the tapas are <br/>good, they are enjoyable. It is a pleasant place to sit with friends, have a couple of drinks and eat a few of their tapas. I could go back to this place.

Nachos for 75 Bucks and its doritos??! Gimme a break. I swear, it was DORITOS from the packet, albeit with cheese and chicken. But come on, even Chilli's makes their own nachos. <br/><br/>Sangria was too freshly made, we would have rather preferred some soaking time for the fruits to give the wine the full bodied sangria feel. Nevertheless a pitcher for 80 bucks is not bad. They were very nice about us changing the order too.<br/><br/>Dont you love it when you can order 2 varieties of pizza in one? I call them half-half. This one was ginormous (for 130 Dirhams it should be) and tasty to boot. Hot, cheesy, thin crust - just the way I like it and no skimping on the toppings either. <br/><br/>We had an entertainer voucher so kudos to the management for sorting that out. Our order was taken by this dashing Spanish gentleman, who gave us good recommendations. He advised us to take the tapas but we opted for that another day. <br/><br/>For decor, Diablito wins hand down over any other 'budget' restaurant on the marina. Overlooking the dock, with a magnificent view of the yas viceroy, it offers upper deck and indoor seating and is  a perfect place to chill away in the midnight air. <br/><br/>P.S - Service is not bad, quite exemplary and lovely to look at if you like Spanish servers. ;)

I think I agree with the others that this is a great place, good ambiance and not too crowded when we went probably because it was a weekday. the food is quite pricey although tastes great and does have big portions. We had vouchers because of which the bill was reasonable. The pizzas here are great and really large. I think their large pizza is almost as good as two medium pizzas you get at other places. You can do a half and half pizza which is great since you can try more flavors. We also ordered Nachos but they were a let down although the portions were good. Overall I would say it is a great place for a good pizza if you are looking for outdoor dinning.

My fav place on yas marina, great sangria, chilled atmosphere and music, real deal Spanish peeps, and the food is simple and great. Terrace has a nice view.

A lovely dinner, portion sizes could be a little bigger but the sangria is great. Would be great if they served shisha

Excellent place, fantastic food. Love the place.

Avoid on Thursday <br/>Food is good service is poor below standards.<br/>Waiting time for a table takes from an hour to an hour and a half.<br/>At least 20min to place an order or you need to walk to the bar to request any of the waiters to take your order. Ensure to have your iPhone charged and have a time wasting game because you will have to wait for 60 to 90 minutes for food to arrive. The moment the food arrives if you have any requests like napkins ensure to request it on spot or else the waiter will disappear. <br/>Enjoy your evening. <br/>This review was written based on a visit on Thursday 17/04/2014 @ 21:00.<br/>Tip: if you find the place is packed avoid or else your evening will be like mine.<br/>
