Este es uno de mis restaurantes favoritos de Manchester, pero cada vez que voy el tamaño de las tapas ha disminuido considerablemente así como la calidad, lo cual es decepcionante para un sitio de prestigio como el rincón de Rafa. Los restaurantes no deberían escatimar, denota poca clase y engaño para con el cliente. Ya había oído comentarios de gente conocida pero al ver el tamaño de las croquetas se confirmaron mis sospechas. La calidad de la carne decepcionante también, y se habían quedado sin mi tapa favorita (chuletas de cordero). Le daré una última oportunidad y hasta entonces ya no lo recomendaré.

Buon ristorante spagnolo, anche l'atmosfera dentro è proprio tipica delle trattorie spagnole... Consigliato
