Claret Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I never liked Cubanas all that much. Yes it's a cool bar with good atmosphere, but the food just is not that good. It's just ok. I went to La Mancha a couple of years back for tapas and we has some offer (3 for £10 or something). It was vile. Really, really bad. Maybe we caught it on an off day, but it put me off forever! Wig & Pen do nice tapas but they have a limited selection. As they are owned by the same people who own Platillos, I don't bother with tapas there - may as well go to Platillos. Honestly - you won't beat Platillos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jule79 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 La Mancha on West Street is very good, been there 2 weeks ago, and they do an offer on Tuesday and Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidwhitley Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Spinrocs was best for food - but not been in since it split into two restaurants. La Tasca is reasonable, and cheap if you get the print-off vouchers. Platillos is pretty good, but strangely limited menu. Cubanas is the best for atmosphere, although (whisper it) the food isn't quite as impressive as it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorri Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I never liked Cubanas all that much. Yes it's a cool bar with good atmosphere, but the food just is not that good. It's just ok. I have to agree... loved the atmosphere at Cubana but I didn't enjoy the food as much as La Tasca! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libuse Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Platillos is fantastic - the service can be a bit slow, but the food makes up for it, I've never had a bad dish there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotar Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Tried a few , but there never the same as in Spain, its because of the produce I suppose.. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I hated La Mancha. La Cubana was ok, mainly because of the music, although the tortilla was cold . If there is something to avoid is cold tortilla in a bar. However, I have to say that there are no tapas bars in Spain, it's an English concept, as tapas by definition and origin are free and not chosen by the customer. The correct wording should be "cazuelitas" or "raciones". If it's something very small, canapé size, it's called "pincho" in the North (or "pintxo" if you're in the Basque country). You're welcome, and que aproveche! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
