Harden's says
In Ealing Broadway's new Dickens Yard development, this Spanish venture with South American influences from its Colombian chef was already a hot ticket locally before a rave review from Giles Coren in The Times brought it to wider attention. The name means "hopscotch" in Spanish.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Rayuela Restaurant Diner Reviews
"The four of us enjoyed our visit. We arrived at 6.50pm and quite a few tables were taken. By the time we left just before 9pm it was full for the second sitting. The small plate of Jamon at £14 for 40gr was enjoyed and squid at £15 were very good. I found the salmon tartare in a half of avocado to be lovely - also £14. For mains the lamb cutlets £26 were very tasty. The Iberian pork £28 had a subtle flavour but the sauce was tasty. The grilled "veggies" at £7 were just OK. The patatas bravas were not great at £9.50. They did not stand up to the quality of the rest of the dishes. We have eaten much better elsewhere. We had one portion of cheese cake that we all tasted. It contained goats cheese and we loved it. We did not drink much alcohol - two small glasses of sherry at £12 each and one small glass of wine at £10.50. Service was good. With a service charge of 13.5% the bill per couple was £136.40. Almost all of the food was very good but we felt that overall the meal was a bit expensive. Rayuela is clearly popular and the locals of Ealing are lucky to have this place so close."
