After a lunch of Spanish Shrimps (flown in from España!!) and Fried Hake, Chef Rachel talked us into coming back for dinner, as they were expecting a shipment of special Spanish beef (I wish I could remember the name!!). The beef is butchered on site and served "blue." Having never had a steak served "blue," I was a little apprehensive, but willing to try. We were not disappointed! It was a memorable meal like no other we have ever had!! Absolutely unique and delicious steak!! This is a don't miss dining location!!

La Mancha specialises in Tapas and they have a very good range from simple dishes such as garlic…read moremushrooms and marinated olives, to more substantial things like fresh sardines and king prawns. Tapas can be ordered collectively as a main course, or individually as a starter, so they also have a good range of main course meat and fish dishes, plus paella for 2 or more people sharing. Vegetarians seemed to be well catered for too and the paella had a little footnote to indicate that a vegetarian option was also available. A great place to try something a bit different

Much to the consternation of my dining partner! Thankfully, aside from the name, there's not much else you can have a go poking fun at. The food is superb and varied - there's the obligatory paella, and yes on one occasion making go-with-what-you-know choice I dined on it (highly recommended!) but there's also a range of chicken, fish and many more typically meaty Spanish dishes to selecy from the menu, that you could may I add spend at least the better part of 20 minutes perusing. Tapas ranges from £1.95 - £4.95 Bare floorboards and intimate dining make you feel part of a tiny world of gastronomic happiness, On a dark winter (or summers) night, mixed with candle light and the aroma of a heady bottle of Alta Rio Reserva, you would need little more to be feel transported to Las Ramblas

This has got to be one of the biggest tapas menus I've seen outside of London...and Spain! It's…read morenice to see they've got the kind of dishes I've been pining after since my return to Blighty. Firm favourites include Costilla (marinated spare ribs), Albondigas (Spanish meatballs) and Mejillones (mussles marinated in wine, lemon and herbs). Apart from the tapas menu, they also have some very traditional dishes on the A la Carte menu including Chuletas de cordero (grilled marinated lamb chops) and Cod catalana (cod fillet suated with garlic, shallots, cream and wine topped with parmesan cheese). Surely this is run by a Spanish family. Delicious.

Mum and I paid a visit on a Monday lunchtime. It was quiet and there were a few staff on. But that…read moredidn't mean we were seated straight away, no sir. We were left stood at the entrance for a good while before someone came over. We were shown to a table and handed a menu - no explanation of any offers that were going on, but as it happens we'd already seen a poster for 5 tapas for £12 outside anyway, it put my 2-4-1 tapas voucher I had ready on my iPhone to shame! We were given adequate time to decide what we wanted, then our order for food and drink was taken at the same time. Drinks arrived swiftly and the food followed some five minutes later. Everything was cooked beautifully, not overdone like I've had before, and five tapas between the two of us was more than enough to fill us up. The bill came to a very respectable £16. A bargain lunch, some would say! The service could be a bit quicker in regards to showing people to tables and the manner could be a bit less brusque. Also I'd prefer it if I'd been told about the offers - had we not seen a poster outside, we'd have gone for the 2-4-1 offer I'd had ready anyway - every other La Tasca I've been to has always said what offers they have available. Still, I'd go back. It was a pleasant environment (screaming child aside) and the food was delicious!

Had lunch here today and both the food and the service was supberb!…read more We had the lunch special - ongoing until 5PM - which was 5 tapas selections for two people for £10. We started off with bread and olives. The olives were proper Spanish olives (not that tinned rubbish that some places give you) and the bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was plentiful. The chicken croquettes left something to be desired. The fried white fish was crispy, light, and not greasy at all. The meatballs were plentiful and tasty. The vegetarian paella was the best I have ever had! The cheesy aubergines in red sauce was delicious. There were many vegetarian options. The service was great and friendly, our waitress was more than helpful. The food came out reasonably quick as well. Both the serving plates and the food was hot (very important). The staff tips are not shared - the waitress did share hers with the cook staff, which I thought was fair. All in all a great experience! I would definetly recommend this place, and intend to visiting again.

Went here last night and it was great food. We went for a set menu which was tapas and also paella…read more Not sure about all the names of the tapas dishes but they included meatballs, seafood salad, potatoes with tomatoes/salsa, diced pork, sautéed mushrooms, breaded crabclaws and paprika chorizo. About 12 tapas dishes into total plus the paella. Set menu was £16.50. If you don't want paella, its about £2 cheaper. The only problem with tapas is that there are so many dishes, you always run out of space quickly. You have to quickly eat dishes so you can make room for others. The food came very quickly. Good job as we were all hungry. The paella came about 40 minutes after we ordered - a good sign that it was cooked from scratch. Overall a very good evening. It was very busy and a group were actually sitting on the tables situated in the sort of "lobby" area at the bottom of the stairs near entrance (and near the entrance to toilets). I assume they were given the option if they wanted to sit there. I have heard El Rincon is very popular and you always have to book a table. There is quite a bit of football memorabilia on the walls and, as Emma-Louise H has also mentioned, I have heard that Manchester United have visited in the past. El Rincon is actually not situated on Deansgate as it has been mentioned on some places. Its actually on a small dark street parallel to Deansgate - which you could argue looks a bit dodgy especially when it was all dark and wet last night - typical Manchester rainy weather!! El Rincon is not the easiest place to find and I would imagine doesnt get much passing custom.

Had it not been for the trusty map app we'd probably have struggled to find it, (it's on the corner of Longworth Street, which is off St Johns Street, which is off Deansgate...). Head through the doors and you descend stairs that resemble a London Tube station's with a central hand rail. At the bottom, a small replica of Picasso's 'Guernica' painting is high above you, with a traditional-looking tiled restaurant sign on the back wall. Turn a corner and you're met with a cavernous space, double height ceilings and a huge bar (where you can sit and eat at as well). I'm certainly glad I booked as it was very busy and throughout our meal there was a constant stream of customers (some 'winged it' and were seated where they could find space, one small group ended up sitting in the entrance area!). We could tell it was a popular place so were looking forward to getting stuck in. As a group of seven we didn't need to trawl through the menu as we had a choice of two set ones (opting for the slightly more expensive, but we got two extra tapas dishes plus a paella; and it was only £2 per person extra). Jug of sangria poured, the first of fifteen dishes started to arrive (I'm not going to list them all so don't worry), but lots of tapas faves were included, as well as some I hadn't heard of before. I thought pretty much everything was delicious (though still not convinced by artichokes...). As I've said a few times now I love shared dinners, so tapas is perfect. We all really enjoyed our time here and I'll certainly be back again for more.

They are, quite simply, incredibly well-stocked and whatever your seemingly annoyingly untreatable complaint, they'll have something alternative for you to try. The staff are not only caring and considerate but exceptionally well-informed and even attend courses to stay up-to-date with new products. After having no luck at all with conventional medicine for a sinus condition, I was recommended a harmless spray which cleared the problem up brilliantly. They also stock an excellent range of special foods for dietary conditions as well as all the health shop standards, homeopathy (the only shop that stocks a proper Weleda range) essential oils, vitamins and natural pain relievers and will also order in anything you want. On top of all this (literally, upstairs) is a gorgeous coffe shop with homemade cakes and great hot and cold lunch dishes. This really is an extraordinarily good place, we're lucky to have it in Bridgford and long may it last!

I visited La Tasca York a few months ago and was very…read moreimpressed with the experience. Me and my friend were seated quickly upon arrival, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We ordered a few Tapas dishes each, and every single one we had was very tasty. My favourite was the potato gratin which was made with blue cheese and spinach. It can work out a little expensive by the time you've chosen a few dishes but over all I can't really complain as the food was delicious and the staff were lovely.

This review forms the third of my gluten-free-in-York trifecta…read more Or is it a hat trick? Maybe it's York's hat trick of gluten-free options. I'm thinking new Yelp list now. Anyway...yeah. La Tasca. It's good. And for you sufferers of coeliac disease, this is your kind of place. All menu items are very clearly labeled if they are gluten-free options. We found the staff here very helpful, knowledgeable, and more than willing to chase down ingredient lists if they weren't sure the answer. La Tasca is trying to be a tapas-Spanish kind of restaurant, but with a sound track suffers a bit from an identity crisis. There was some flamenco, but I'm certain I heard Mariachi, Samba, Tango, and bizarrely, Regaetón. Upon asking the mostly-Spanish staff about this, they chuckled, and shrugged. "Sí..." After all, the food, to be honest, is so-so. The paella wasn't bad, but it wasn't the Calle de Otumba in Valencia. But there's enough good, that I can still recommend it. And we'll be back, because, when you gotta eat gluten-free, you can't be too choosy, can you. One cool extra is their online reservation system, which will text your confirmation to your mobile.
