About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
La Mancha Tapas bar was established in 1998. Taken over and purchased in 2024 by Sam Sharples who has since employed various Spanish chefs. Which has taken the humble tapa also known as an appetiser to a different level by producing authentic Spanish cuisine perfect for sharing.

We have created in the heart of Rochdale, a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere – ideal for either a snack and a glass of excellent Spanish Vino or a party night out. Our friendly staff look forward to welcoming you at the Restaurant.

    I have always enjoyed La Mancha I went with old friends from work, and yes everything was fine the only thing I had a complaint about was the Vegetable Paella,it tasted nothing like a paella, and burned the inside of your mouth, a bit like a Thia Green Curry taste We didn't and couldn't eat it, far too hot so the lady knocked it of the bill, so suited with that All in all a very good night Pat

    The quality of the food for the price could have been better, small portions and felt rushed to order.

    Really lovely food and member of staff lovely who brought out our food and kept checking on us. Booked here as we thought £16.95 was good value for the 3 tapas and sangria. As the bill came, a waitress explained there was an additional £4 added because the price on the menu was wrong. It is now an additional £2 each than what was advertised on the menu and website. So not as good value as we thought. We were also the only table in so there was no atmosphere.

    Not great with the customer service, after sending something back which wasn't great the waitress said if I wanted to replace it i would be charged for a replacement from the manager. I sent it back regardless. The manageress then refused to deduct it from our bill. She was so very rude and also adamant I was paying which I eventually did as I just wanted to get out of there ....she and her partner have no customer care whatsoever as he was shaking his head constantly whilst I was trying to explain why it was sent back . The poor waitress even came outside and apologised for the way I was spoken to. She was so embarrassed. What should have been a nice meal for my husband's 70th birthday left a very bitter taste. Make sure you dont complain.
