"we had booked a table for two. when we arrived, it was really busy, but we just waited a few minutes until our table is ready. they told us that waiting for eating took about 30 minutes, as there were 2 big parties and we got the opportunity to rethink this before someone took our order. we say goodbye to order anyway, but our food did not take very long to come and was very delicious."

"Fabulous little cafe. Went on a Friday evening, did book but there were a couple of tables free during the evening. Lovely lady called sue the owner and chef. Sue will talk you through the menu vegetarian or vegan and gluten free. So much to choose from. Variety of teas too. No alcohol is sold on the premises,you can take your own. Can park outside on the street, spaces are limited. Lovely vibe to the place. Not open every evening, also do take away. Had the Chinese fritters so filling and delicious, you will not leave feeling hungry at all. I myself am a meat eater and I will be definitely returning."

"Walked in without reservation on Sunday at 6pm. Given a warm and friendly greeting and they found us a table. Loved the informal feel of a family run restaurant. My partner could only have a starter due to health problem, this was met in a helpful manner and served promptly at our request. Bit of a wait for my choice of Sunday roast but it was worth it as it was excellent quality and I reluctantly could not eat it all. No room for a dessert . Wine by the glass was good quality French Vouvray and my Chilean pinot noir was equally good. Amusingly, wine bill was £15 more than the food as we both had a second glass. Next time I would order a bottle of either wine just to balance the cost. A nice experience with friendly service and happily recommend a visit Parking: Typical town centre parking which depends on being lucky to find a space Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Classic Sunday Roast Lunch Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid street parking"

"After reading the reviews we was really looking forward to eating here ,however it turned out to be the worst tapas and worst service we have ever received . After waiting 10 minutes for someone to take our drinks order we then waited a further 30 mins to be served with what can only be described as toast with tasteless mushed up tomatoes on , this was inedible and hardly touched , a further 20 minutes on and we was served a single dish of chicken between two of us again this was very bland and resembled nothing like a original tapas dish more like a chicken korma again this was hardly touched . When I enquired as to where the rest of the food was I was told they was very busy . With this we decided to cut our loses and asked for the bill . Before leaving we tried to have a conversation with the manager who is also the chef to give some honest feedback ,however he wasn’t open to listening , he’s response was “it’s normal in a tapas restaurant to receive one dish at a time between two with a large gap between dishes wasn’t it explained to you that’s what tapas is “We felt this was a very patronising remark as we eat tapas on a regular basis and know this is definitely not the case . To matters worse there was people who came in after us with multiple plates and tucking in nicely to their meals . The manager who was obviously struggling to cope on a busy Saturday night should have just apologised and admitted our order had been overlooked . If you are looking for authentic Tapas with excellent service in Wigan go to Casa Carlos this place doesn’t deserve your hard earned money ."

"It was as if the owner googled Mexican stereotypes and decided to place it as a tex mex place. Sombreros everywhere, the mascots on the kids meals dressed in stereotypes. It’s pretty offensive. The kids meal says ‘learn Mexican’ as if Mexican is a language? That’s news to me. Also tex mex food shouldn’t be this dry. The soft shell taco was hard. A SOFT SHELL FLOUR TACO the Mexican rice was rice but not Tex Mex at all. Service was slow like super slow and I can’t begin to understand why. Also jambalaya isn’t Tex Mex. I can excuse bad food but not the blatant disregard for culture."
