"We had made a reservation for a table for two. Upon our arrival, the restaurant was bustling with activity, but we only had to wait a few minutes before our table was ready. We were informed that the wait for food was approximately 30 minutes due to two large parties, and we were given the chance to consider this before placing our order. We decided to go ahead with our order, and to our surprise, our food arrived promptly and was 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."

"the baked alaska wasn't baked it just poured flat onto the plate the outer mixture was scorched with a blow torch but when this outer skin was removed the rest couldn't stay in place .... it was definitely not baked meringue but...uncooked white mixture, what a shame asked specially for a window seat when booking and i even emailed several times to check this was ok but on arrival was told my party wasn't big enough and that a bigger party was paying more so they got the window seat pity they couldn't have told the truth a lot earlier in a reply to my email ad telephone call. The waitress also picked up my bill when I had paid by card so I had no proof of what I had eaten. I couldn't therefore check if I had paid for two meals with two course charge or for four separate courses as the bill reached over £60"

"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 ."

"As soon as I walked in, I liked the aesthetic of the restaurant. I sat down and ordered my food with my amigos. I had the pulled brisket nachos and was surprised at the portion size, it wasn’t a small starter like most restaurants but...large, delicious and clearly fresh. I also had the Mexican lasagna which I never heard of before but it was amazing and I couldn’t finish it as it was so filling. I also had a cocktail which was good and a slush which was good too. The staff were friendly, polite and would check if we needed anything often. Overall a great experience and I would come again"
