El Rincon de Rafa
Longworth Street, off St John's Street, Behind 244 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 4BQ
Tucked away on a back street off Deansgate, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this restaurant was unlikely to be busy. You'd be wrong, because El Rincon is always busy. Queuing for a table is well worthwhile as the quality of the food will make you forget you even had to wait. The portion sizes are generous and the menu is extensive. Expect delay for some items as everything is cooked fresh to order. Withstaff who are friendly and extremely knowledgeable the atmosphere is bustling and loud and it feels like a very 'authentic' tapas experience. The decor is traditional and simple and, all in all, it's the perfect place for a celebration or just a spot of quick tasty bites after a long day's shopping.Tucked away on a back street off Deansgate, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this restaurant was unlikely to be busy.

REVIEWS OF El Rincon de Rafa
Howard Stone (20 August 2010)
Having been a regular customer for more years than I care to remember, I recently celebrated my 60th birthday with all my family and friends at El Rincon. Everyone who had not been before thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and intend to return. It was the next best thing to celebrating my day actually in Spain itself. Thanks Rafa and all his brilliant staff.
Dorothy Massey (9 June 2010)
As my sister and her husband were over from Switzerland, my daughter recommended El Rincon de Rafa. What a wonderful evening we had! The food was superb, and the menu has something for everyone. Thoroughly great food and wine!
