"We only paid £10 for Sangria & three Tapas, which is excellent value. We were a little worried they might scale down the portions size as it was a special offer but we were stuffed. Couldn't fit in a dessert but will next time, The special ice cream looked yummy. But beware the complimentary Sangria is potent and very moorish, we hogged a table for hours and drank two jugs of it!! The staff were great & really relaxed we were not hassled but they were there if you needed them, highly reccomended!" - Eloise Mendez, Manchester, 17/7/07 (visited on a Tues evening)

"The staff were really very friendly and lovely and they've only been opened a few months. The food was really disappointing. Some felt like it'd come straight from the frozen section of a supermarket and others just not fresh. Not one of the dishes was big enough. We love tapas and normally 6 dishes is more than plenty - no room for dessert. However we were still hungry afterwards and ended up going somewhere else for dessert. Overall, disappointing and won't be going back!" - emily, manchester, 5/7/07 (visited on a wednesday evening)

"Our group of eight had a wonderful evening, great atmosphere, gorgeous food and drinks, very welcoming staff and great service, this place put`s many US restaurants to shame. I will definately visit El Hacienda again and can highly recommend this place to my friends and colleagues! Many thanks El Hacienda" - john b 'hank', las vegas, usa, 31/5/07 (visited on a saturday evening)
