The food was so limited I thought that it was just the starters we had been served when they took our plates. The vegetarian options consisted of bread, potatoes, inedible, vinegary olives in a salad and a lentil dish. The lentils looked very tasty but unfortunately had pieces of chorizo in which hadn’t been explained by the waitress and two of the vegetarian members of the group ate a mouthful of this. I’m not the kind to write bad reviews and can say the bar staff were lovely, but the food was just bad. Those who did eat meat still complained of being hungry afterwards.

The dishes were served individually, with the 'salad' first, followed by croquettes, then patatas bravas, and finally Albonigas after a slow 15-minute wait. It would have been better to have multiple dishes at once, rather than eating them separately. The 'salad' was more like salsa, with tiny bits of tomato, onion, and cucumber, lacking in olive and dressing. One of the potatoes was bad/black, and the meatballs were humongous on a plate. Having eaten in Spain frequently, this restaurant did not compare favorably. Additionally, the prices on the website are likely outdated. Overall, not a place I would visit again.

Id highly recommend the Iberian ham and cherry pate. I’m coming back for that alone Very friendly service from Grace also.

The staff were really pleasant and we enjoyed our evening tasting various dishes. The restaurant itself was very quiet (there are two small rooms with high and low tables, and stone flooring). It perhaps lacked a tiny bit of atmosphere on what felt like a wintry mid-week evening: maybe the warm glow of candles on tables would have helped in this regard. The background guitar music was lovely though. The staff recommended selecting three tapas each, which was spot on. It was great to try a lentil based dish from the menu, and the alcachofas were super tasty. There were 2 desserts choices on the menu too. The prices seemed reasonable and the tip is automatically added to the bill.

From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to the vibrant streets of Spain. The warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. The menu offered an extensive selection of traditional Spanish tapas dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The small plates catered to all tastes, from meat lovers to vegetarians, ensuring there was something for everyone. The patatas bravas were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, accompanied by a delightful spicy tomato sauce. The gambas al ajillo, garlic-infused prawns, were cooked to perfection, with a succulent texture and a rich garlic flavour, but personally the star of the night was the goats cheese croquettes. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. They were happy to provide perfect recommendations and answer any questions, enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant's decor, with rustic elements and Spanish-inspired artwork, created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a romantic evening or a gathering with friends. This Spanish tapas restaurant in Macclesfield exceeded all my expectations. The exceptional quality of the small plates, the warm and attentive service, and the inviting atmosphere all contributed to a lovely dining experience. Whether you are a fan of Spanish cuisine or simply looking to explore new flavours, I highly recommend visiting this gem in Macclesfield. Vegetarian options: Plenty of options

I think that it's a wonderful place to eat and share food with people... but I noticed that those with me neither shared their plates nor would try anything that I couldn't finish from my selection. I wonder if that's a post-covid thing that I'll have to get used to, but I thought that a tapas bar was about sharing. As per most tapas places, the food was amazing but prohibitively expensive. My fives plates and a drink came to £50, which was a bit of a shock. There's a relaxed atmosphere here, and it was the right sort of temperature to enjoy the food. Getting there might be a struggle for people as there is a gradient and cobbled roads to negotiate, so consider this if wearing slippery footwear or have mobility issues. All in all, a good recommendation for those who visit Macclesfield.

So glad I found it! I am Spanish and I've been missing the food and experience of food back home. The food is amazing and it all taste exactly like back home. The experience of the small but filling plates too! Ive never left hungry and its a great value, for everything you can eat. Service is great, not pushy but very helpful, food comes out at a great pace and environment is great, energetic but not too loud or stressful. Is a little piece of a Spanish restaurant in Macc. Its now my favourite spot for when I'm homesick.

It’s great that they have expanded capacity and provided new toilets on the first floor, I feel the area by the staircase lacks a bit of ambience and atmosphere whereas the further area on the first floor is more interesting lighting, pictures etc probably the answer. Waitress forgot to give our order to the kitchen so there was a delay. That apart everything was fine, artichoke special was amazing but padron pepper portion was a bit meagre. Still an enjoyable experience and we will be back sometime.
