Authentic spanish tapas 5th September 2008

This is the best place ever. We go here every week. I love every single thing about it. I think this is what heaven must be like. The best tapas around - just as good as anything I've had when we've been to Spain. The staff are brilliant and so is the food and the ambience. Rafa is lovely too - I love his personalised numberplate!
It's got such a nice atmosphere, we pop in when we've been shopping to have a cheeky glass of wine and some bread and ailioli (my favourite thing on the menu!).
It’s a great place to watch the football too, and you can tell my the décor that they’re big City fans! It’s always busy but its worth waiting for a table, and you can always eat at the bar if you just can’t wait.
I was reluctant to write a review in case it encourages more people to go and I can’t get a table any more!

Had been wanting to here for ages and as a fan of La Tasca had always wanted to see how this compared. Finally got round to checking the A-Z and hunting this place out, and well worth doing it was. This place has all the air of being typically Spanish, as opposed to La Tasca. The food is just as good as La Tasca but the atmosphere better given that it feels so genuine. Definately well worth seeking out and booking probably advised as even at lunchtime it was packed with a broad mix ranging from local celebs to office parties to some lucky kid's 1st birthday party. Great food and great atmosphere.

As close to a real rowdy Spanish tapas bar as you can get.

Hidden away from the marauding masses, off of Deansgate, this is the perfect place to sample fine Spanish cuisine. Some good football memorabilia on the walls to boot.
