This was my first time coming to Manchego with my husband. We have been saying for months that we need to try this restaurant since it’s just a couple of blocks from our home. It was absolutely amazing !!! The churrasco steak was tender, flavorful and delicious!! Service was on point, very friendly and attentive. The drinks were great as well. I will definitely be back!!

This is a tapas bar and restaurant located in Union City. What a lovely surprise! We've walked by a couple of times and finally decided to go they. Atmosphere is lovely, and the staff - especially Daniel - was so lovely with us the whole time, even more when he found out we were from Brazil. We've tried several options of the tapas menu and all of them were so delicious. I was astonished to read the bad reviews about the place: just ignore them, you will have a great night there.

I gave this place a shot because of the good reviews but I am left wondering if those reviews were fake, cause it must be! I wanted to have a special night with my fiancée tonight because I had a bad day. I just figured that I would go somewhere with good food and a nice atmosphere. However, the food was so bad and I hate myself for wasting my money there. The steak was rough, you can tell that it was frozen. The mashed potatoes were so nasty ? you could tell that they came from the box. I am so upset that I didn’t get to wrap up my day with a nice meal and drinks. I would not recommend this place. It’s pricey but they serve frozen foods. Yuck ? ?

This past Saturday, my family and I celebrated my mother's birthday at Manchego Tapas Bar and Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience. The food, from starters, main courses and desserts, was delicious. Our waiter, Daniel, really stood out with his exceptional service. He showed great patience and respect towards one member of our group who can be a bit difficult to please, which was truly commendable. The entire staff, including management, was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. I was thoroughly impressed by the dedication of every staff member there. This restaurant is a perfect choice for any special event, offering unparalleled attention and service. I can't wait to come back!Parking: Valet parking

I can't stress this enough, I love the bartenders here, the drinks are amazing and their service make you leave with a smile everytime. Lucia and Laura are the best, ask for a "Besos de Madrid", recline and enjoy those flavors. And there's live flamenco performances on Thursdays!

Being in Manchego, no matter what time or day, is a unique experience, excellent prices, live shows, quality food, a varied wine cellar of superior quality, an extensive menu, delicious tapas, drinks and cocktails prepared by bartenders who put commitment not only to quality but also to presentation...And for me the most important thing is the attention, the entire Manchego team, from the moment you walk through the door they make you feel in a special way...Valet parking is a plus..Manchecho is a place that will catch you...Vegetarian options: Available on requestKid-friendliness: Monday Kids eat free ( under ten years old )Parking: Valet parking after 5.00 pmWheelchair accessibility: Accessibility, the staff will be helping withs tables and chairs
