Up till recently I would have given it full stars. Its been our go to place especially on special occasions. But last weekend we were very dissatisfied. Squid batter was pale. The squid was all the same size ..no taste and could've. easily come out of Icelands freezer. Mushrooms ...again non descript....poor. croquettes were OK...but too big ones instead of the usual 4 small ones manchego cheese has gone up to nearly 10 pounds but nearly doubled in amount..that seemed so with a few dishes. We didn't enjoy it. There are better tapas places to go now for taps in Manchester. They had also taken a few dishes off the menu. Shame.

A slice of southern Spain slap bang in Manchester City centre. Second time I’ve dined here and the food did not disappoint. Langoustines, gambas pil pil and the most tasty red wine I’ve tasted in a long time. We dined here for my birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience a super special one complete with birthday cake and surprise sing along! Thank you so much can’t wait to return! :)

Both the service and the food are very good, and the price is also very good. I forgot to take my headphones during this meal, and they also kept them very well for me! Very good service!

Stopped here for lunch for the first time in many years (it’s been here for decades) - it’s a traditional restaurant with excellent food, lovely wines and efficient and friendly staff - well worth a visitWheelchair accessibility: In a cellar in the city centre - no lift, not sure if there’s a stairlift but not easily accessible for those with mobility difficulties otherwise

Absolutely delicious. Hidden from the sight of the main road, this restaurant is an absolute gem. Huge portions for tapas and incredibly tasty. Entire family was in love with the place and filled the entire table with dishes. Book in advance as it fills up in the evening as we barely got in as walk-ins. Highly

Lovely little hide away Tapas Restaurant ? Family Mother's Day meal. Thoroughly enjoyed the Atmosphere, Staff and Owners were Friendly, Helpful and not intrusive. Food was Amazing, Freshly cooked to order. I couldn't tell you what I Loved the Best, because All of it was Deliciously Tasty. An Authentic Spanish experience! Will definitely be going againVegetarian options: Patatas Bravas, Bruuchetta, Sweet Peppers, vegetable omeletteKid-friendliness: Children Friendly Lots of Families

We did not book and it was very busy. Sat at the bar eating tapas. Great food.
Looks really authentic, but the food was a total disappointment. The jamon was an extremely light colour and of poor quality (served very cold and felt like it came direct from a supermarket packet). The patatas bravas were soggy, with a cheap tomato sauce. And the rest of our order was of similar standard. Certainly not Spanish quality.

The place is not big, if you don't have a reservation, it's better not to take risks, the paella is not very delicious, but it must not be

the seafood bella seems like the cook put tons of salt in it，only after meal can I find the fact that my lips were in orange color ，so funny. After allthe plate was so expansive that it isn’t worth it.DISGUESTING!!!!

Fantastic authentic Spanish bar and restaurant. You could not find this wonderful atmosphere anywhere else in England. You could actually be in Spain. Fantastico!Together with excellent food, staff and of course, your host, the lovely Rafa
