    Lovely, lovely little place and the food is so good! Great selection of traditional dishes and amazing wine. Hard to get a table sometimes but that's because it's a great place! Always worth it

    Have always loved the food here, and they are excellent and reassuring if you have any allergies or intolerances. They marked up a menu with the gluten free options for me, and they have a separate gluten free fryer. Also great wines.

    Went out with some friends, and had a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very efficient. The wine was excellent, the food was, without exception, superb, and at the end of the night the bill was very reasonable, too. I'd definitely recommend trying Tempranillo out, and I will very definitely be going back again!

    With a group of six for birthday celebrations. Ambience is lovely, nicely lit & cosy. Good selection of beers & wines. Plenty to choose from the food menu. All the dishes we chose were really great along with the service. A great night had by all.

    Nine of us went for the first time as we were in the area for a wedding the next day. We all had a great night, the food, service and atmosphere are all excellent. . The portions are really good and a great selection. Not an extensive wine menu but enjoyed both the red & white wines we had. Shall definitely be returning when we’re in the area again.

    Really accommodating especially given we booked a table for 4 and turned up as a 5. Food was fabulous, staff quick at bringing it and quick at helping clear empty bowls throughout.

    If this is the best tapas in Macc I hate to think what the worst is. The plates come out individually so we had the ‘salad’ on its own, 10 mins later the croquettes, 10 mins later the patatas bravas and then a very slow 15 minutes later the Albondigas. Ok if you had 10 dishes and had 2 or 3 at a time, but I don’t want to eat potatoes on their own! The ‘salad’ I would call salsa not salad, as tiny bits of chopped tomato onion and cucumber (very little olive and no dressing) was pathetic. The potatoes had one bad/ black one in it. The meatballs were just 2 huge balls on a plate. We’ve eaten in Spain a lot and this did not compare well. Oh yes - and if you’ve checked the menu on the website - beware as the prices online are probably the pre Covid ones! Not somewhere I would ever return to..

    Unfortunately had a very disappointing experience here. We came on a work Christmas party so we didn’t get choice of food. 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.

    This is a tapas restaurant, tucked away in a side street halfway up the hill from Macclesfield train station. 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.

    I recently had an outstanding dining experience at a Spanish tapas restaurant in Macclesfield. 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.

    Just thoroughly enjoyed tapas with an Alhambra Spanish beer in a fabulous restaurant in the cobbled streets of Macclesfield, although you might be forgiven for thinking your tastebuds have just been to transported to Andalucía - Very friendly staff and very pleasant atmosphere- would recommend

👍 It is a historic building with a spacious interior. When enjoying drinks, one can also appreciate the design of the building. Ordering through an app is very convenient, and the staff are polite. The only downside is that the place can be a bit dirty.
