Casa Carlos in Wigan

Vinimos aquí después de leer las críticas de 5 estrellas en aquí, nos encantan las tapas y la comida española. Nos encontramos con una camarera hosca que nunca sonrió una vez, todo el tiempo que nos habló, dejó nuestras bebidas y sirvió nuestra comida, literalmente no hay ambiente en el lugar, no puedo creer que todos los comentarios aquí son de los clientes. Ella puso una tabla especial en frente de nosotros, pregunté por la sangría de cava que estaba en ella, no creo que tengamos esa fue la respuesta, así que dije que tendré la sangría de rosas entonces, era £ 9. 50 y comportó medio vaso de rosa con lo que yo adivinaría que era limonada y una mísera rodaja de limón, otra vez espantosa. La comida mediocre en el mejor de los casos, cuando pedimos la factura, no preguntamos si disfrutamos de nuestra comida o algo "Tarjeta o efectivo". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Carlos, I can asure you that "Casa Carlos" is in good hands. Your daughter is doing an amazing job. Thank you for your legacy and you will be always remembered. 🤍🤍

Llamado aquí debido a las excelentes críticas , las críticas eran spot en la comida fantástica 👌 pedimos 6 platos entre dos que era suficiente. Todo el mundo era extremadamente bueno. Recomendamos encarecidamente este lugar

¡Qué joyita! Fuimos a comer algo antes del rugby. Pedimos el filete, costillas, calamares, paella y patatas alioli. Estaba todo cocinado fresco y caliente. Sin duda recomendaría

Amazing food and amazing service! We have literally just been squeezed in as a group of 9 after being let down somewhere else. The food was so fresh and tasty, prices were more than reasonable and the service from staff was outstanding. Thank you so much for a brilliant night, we can't wait to come again!

Absolutely love this place! Been coming years but never left a review before. Food always exceptional and tonight no different. Well done to everyone for keeping up the high standards after the very sad passing of Carlos. He’ll be looking down on you with pride in his heart that you keep his legacy alive. RIP Carlos x

Went last night for my wife’s Birthday and it lived up to its expectations. All the Tapas dishes were absolutely delicious, I think the word is moreish you can’t get enough if them. The Staff helped me surprise my wife with a birthday cake and candles etc…Massive thanks to the Staff and Chef (We will definitely be back) x

Staff were outstanding. Really quick to be seated, very attentive, we weren't left waiting for anything. Menu fantastic, what they do they do really well. So fresh, everything had it's own flavour that didn't bleed into the other items too offensively. Portion size is excellent, make sure you go in hungry! The garlic bread is outstanding. Prices very competitive. Cannot say a single bad thing about Casa Carlos. Wherever he is now, I hope he's proud of what the team are doing. They are certainly not doing his name a disservice. Would love to return, can't wait to try more.

Nice restaurant but didn't know it was only tapas , food didn't agree with me was sick 30 mins after I left .Staff friendly no problems there . No wine we wanted , had ran out , had Rose sangria but not nice .Not a fan of tapas do won't be back but if you like tapas then this is the place for you .

First time we have been here and we couldn't fault at all. The food was perfect, the service was great and the atmosphere was next to none. Ended up having a laugh with half the restaurant as that is the kind of vibe it gives you, yhe homemade sangria probably helps! We were beyond impressed with our experience and will be back again with our friends and family!

First time yesterday. Amazing food, best tapas I’ve been too.

A must if you want some decent food in Wigan.

We didn't book so had to settle for stool at the bar, but experience was great nonetheless. Shared a few dishes amongst few of us and the food was spot on!

Lovely food, very welcoming and great atmosphere. Wish I took more photos to share with you! The cheesecake was amazing home made and truly delicious. Thank you so a lovely evening with great food!

What a fabulous place. Great food, great wine, the riojcha is one of the best I have tasted. Seriously recommend this for a great night with great food. The service is also great, very nice staff and owners. Just go and see for yourselves.

Always a favourite with is and regular visitors for many years, a family run business with amazing food, we also got to try one of the homemade cheesecake wow! We ate at the bar, which is a perfect authentic experience.

Excellent food and very accommodating staff. Will visit again

Cannot praise Casa Carlos enough. Right from being greeted by the lovely Sophia the atmosphere was second to none. Feeling relaxing, comfortable and at home it took me back to my many times abroad visiting tapas bars certainly could have been anywhere but Wigan Town centre. We were offered drinks then later ordered our food at no time did we feel rushed and our personal requests were taken into consideration with no fuss. Oh my days the food was delicious and presented so well and good portions compliments to Callum the chef perfection on a plate! Deserts were delicious almost too nice to eat as they were presented so well. As we wrapped up our dining experience we all agreed we would definately be returning . A beautiful place amazing staff and wonderful atmosphere with fantastic prices to top it off. Thankyou Sophia, Callum and Casa Carlos

Visited recently since the sad passing of Carlos, food, service and atmosphere were exceptional, the big man would approve

Only just found this place and was absolutely blown away.. Gorgeous food and great service.. we'll be back soon.. 👍🍷

Best tapas. Forget going to manchester/liverpool, not a patch on this tapas. Delicious food. Fantastic vegetarian selection.

Ignore the 4.9 rating. It's a five all the way.

Great place, great food, great staff. Love this place

Love this place. The food is sensational!!!

Good choice of tapas . .. cooked fresh ,served hot and presented well .all tasty .would recommend

The food is amazing and all fresh.the service is prompt and knowledgeable re.their dishes.sweets are also home made and delicious 😋

We have recently moved to the area and it’s been the best place so far! Will definitely come back 😍. Chistorras and Gambas Pil Pil were delicious. Highly recommend 🥰

Lovely place , good food , very tasty

We visited with 3 children and we all had a lovely meal. They do a little kids menu which was unexpected and allowed the younger ones to try the tapas dishes alongside their nuggets/chips which was great. The grown ups enjoyed the tapas dishes which were all very tasty. Especially the Hake and the chicken skewers (sorry I’ve forgotten the Spanish name) Lovely restaurant with amazing atmosphere. You do not feel you are in wigan anymore when you go through the door. It’s definitely a hidden gem. I didn’t know it existed until I googled ‘tapas near me’. Would love to go back.

Best tapas by far. Food was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere amazing. Shut your eyes and your in a Spanish 5* tapas bar. My first visit but definitely not my last. Carnt compliment the food enough. Totally 5* and above. Be back very soon loved it. Perfect evening. With Pavarotti playing ))))) the sangria was delicious 😋

Not much left recommend the ribs delicious

Great food, service and atmosphere 💃

This was our fourth visit to Casa Carlos. We managed to book a table at 5.30pm. We arrived at 5.15pm on a Friday, and the restaurant was already packed. This restaurant has such a lovely 'vibe'. We were seated immediately and ordered a large beer and a jug of sangria. Our food consisted of boquerones, patatas bravas, gambas pil pil, pincho de pollo, chorizo al vino and pan fresco, as there are lots of delicious juices to soak up. After removing our empty plates, we were offered dessert and coffee. We ordered an espresso a white coffee and the most delicious burnt Basque cheescake. This is an incredible place. As it's only a stone's throw from Wigan Wallgate station, it's very accessible. Well done guys!

Fantastic food and atmosphere as always👍

Could not recommend more! The food is AMAZING, the staff are so lovely and warm and we couldn’t have asked for a better night! Four of us ended up sitting at the bar area ( we hadn’t booked prior) but it didn’t matter, it made the experience even better, everything was just 10/10. Can’t wait to bring other friends here as well for them to try! Thank you!

*Hidden gem* We decided to eat out last min, Casa Carlos managed to seat us at the bar which we didn’t mind as other people was eating there too, both food and service was outstanding, tapas style all dishes were excellent, will definitely be returning very soon, deffo worth a visit!

Fabulous food and service, went on recommendation from a friend. Didn’t book but luckily had a table.

Tastiest tapas in an authentic Spanish setting, exceptional service too!!

Fantastic food and lots of choice. Great service as always at Casa Carlos 😊

Went on Saturday afternoon without a booking and the 4 of us were seated after just a few minutes. I haven’t been here since it re located from the Whitesmiths but the food was just as good as I remembered it! I think we had 9 dishes between 4 of us, but need to go back soon to try the rest, and next time we might need to order one each of the steak! Food excellent, great service from everyone and reasonably priced, what more could you ask for ( sangria made with rose wine was delicious)

Far as I'm concerned this is the best tapas restaurant in the district. You can not fault the food. I've been several times now and am never disappointed. The home made deserts are so tasty and gorgeous. Every tapas dish from the ribs to the salad to the chicken wings are perfection. Quality ingredients. Fresh tasty. I can't recommend this place enough. The staff are warm and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and not too noisy like some places I've been. I just love this place.

Had a marvellous time even had a game of hopscotch in the back yard with Bobby davro's cousin.

Absolutely fantastic place to visit food is amazing staff are so friendly definitely worth a visit can't wait to go back

Came here with my parents and grandma (holding the BBQ Ribs)! I honestly can’t say a bad word, it was a great experience from start to finish, food was great, drinks were great, desserts were soooo nice!! Lovely staff and a lovely atmosphere, we will definitely be returning! 🙏🏻💙

What a great place. Very tasty food. Lovely staff. Went there for my wife's birthday will definitely go back. Highly recommended.

The was excellent and the Rioja was really good great service very friendly. We love this place. The food is as good as it was when Carlos was on Wigan Lane 😁😋

Lovely family that made an effort to squeeze us in with no booking. Great food and sangria. Definitely worth a visit 🤌

Great food; really warm and very tasty. As good a tapas as I’ve had anywhere. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Certainly would recommend and will be going again.

Excellent food and service again.

As always casa carlos went above and beyond. Literally our favourite place to eat no matter what the occasion. Louisa carlos Sophia and luca always make us feel welcome more than just patrons more like friends.

Absolutely excellent, really good atmosphere, excellent food, staff are brilliant.

Cosy, warm, vibrant. I loved it very much, great place for seeing friends and family.

Small and interesting and cosy. Would definitely recommend.

Having visited Casa Carlos for the first time in August, we were keen to return to take our son, as he was home from overseas for Christmas. We were given a warm welcome by our lovely waiter who seated us immediately, even though we arrived twenty minutes early. After taking our drinks orders, we were left to peruse the menu. Between three of us we ordered boquerones en vinagre, gambas pil pil, patatas bravas, rabdilla del terna, pincho de pollo, chorizo al vino, pan con ajo, pimentos piquillo and the pork from the specials board. Dish after dish of deliciousness was delivered to our table. My husband and son enjoyed desserts of warm mince pie and pouring cream and white chocolate and ginger cheesecake (both of which tasted divine) The service by all members of staff was friendly efficient and absolutely first class. We look forward to our next visit

Just amazing!! We found this place by chance and we will definitely be going back. The food was so good but it was more than that. It had a really great feel about it. We went early afternoon and when we walked in, the owners were sat in the bar area and welcomed us. The waiter who served us was great. He brought the specials board and set it up at the table which was different but funny. He was very attentive and pleasant. The food was timed perfectly and was genuinely fantastic. Hake, gambas pil pil, steak, the potatoes and mojo was out of this world. We had the pleasure of meeting Carlos when he came over to check how we found the meal. It was nice to see how passionate he was about his restaurant. A perfect first experience there and we will be going again. Proper family business with a great feel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. The baked cheesecake was soooo good too (coming from a desert dodger). Great food, great staff. Love this place 🙌

Great food, atmosphere & service loved it ❤️🥳😍

A magical little place in downtown Wigan. The service is 5+ The food, if you've been to Spain and love it, you won't be disappointed here! Thanks! I can only recommend this place to eat there a lot!!!

I booked a table for my husband and myself for our anniversary, I fancied going to a tapas restaurant, but could find nothing that fitted the bill in Manchester. After broadening my search, I came across Casa Carlos. What a find! It's a five minute from Wigan Wallgate station, in a quiet street. The welcome was warm and friendly, the service was excellent, but the food was an absolute delight. We ordered moules, boquerones, gambas pil pil, pincho, chorizo al vino, rump steak, patatas bravas (the sauce on the potatoes was incredible! We had two small beers and a jug of sangria. I would highly recommend this restaurant; it's authentic Spanish food, served in a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be paying another visit

Very pleasant experience. Had a tapas. Service was excellent. Food was very tasty. Staff very friendly.

Amazing food! Every dish was top notch and portions were a good size so we all left very happy with bellies full. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu

Really enjoyed our date night last week. Attentive staff and quick service of really good food. Way more food than we could eat. The house wines Better than expected. Bumped into new neighbours too which was a pleasant surprise. All in all we will be back. Thanks again

Great Tapas or more correctly small plates or even a main course portion size. Baby Squid were delicious in tempura batter. Outstanding service. Will return soon.

The best tapas in the district. Love this place. The food atmosphere sangria staff. All fantastic. Would highly recommend. And not expensive. Can't wait to go back

We've been visiting carlos louisa and Sophia for over 6 years now. And now consider casa carlos to be the BEST restaurant we've ever visited. The food is always amazing. The service is like being welcomed into the family. We go as regularly as we can and have never had a bad experience! I cant recommend one single dish because they are all so good! But keep an eye out for the steak special the gambas pil pil and the sea salted potatoes! Oh and an extra mention to sophias amazing baking skills! We ALWAYS get one of whatever she's made to take home! Keep doing what you do guys you are all amazing ❤️

Absolutely fantastic tapas, the best I’ve ever had in England! Can’t t wait to go back. The steak from the specials board was out of this world.

Lovely food, cosy little restaurant

Lovely fresh food. Delicious sangria.

This is my fifth time coming to this lovely family run restaurant. The staff are so attentive and will always cater for your needs. I have never had a bad meal. Myself and my partner love to venture out and try different restaurants. But we are always compelled to come back to this restaurant because the food is so tasty and amazing. Recommend every time!

Great taste, great service, comfortable place can I give 10 stars?

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, not much more you can say, will be back soon 👍

Visiting from liverpool I booked via email .what an amazing little restaurant ,food to die for attentive staff great value.Even carlos found time away from the kitchen to say hello.will definitely visit again .

Very charming restaurant with a great menu and lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the cosy city of Wigan and to those already living in the area we're jealous you have such a wonderful establishment on your doorstep.

Excellent food! Great atmosphere and amazing service. Can’t wait to go back!

The Tapas was really lovely here. The Staff were Super Nice and Friendly, and the Service was quick. What else could you ask for? Definitely recommend going here!

Casa carlos back to it's best. Food and service fabulous. Great atmosphere too.

Gorgeous food and lovely setting, friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere and really lovely staff, food was amazing and plenty of it, house wine was really good, will definitely be back

What a fantastic little gem. Had a takeaway during lockdown, which was fab, so finally got to eat in. So authentic, the atmosphere,the background music, just transports you to Spain. As for the food, just cannot express in writing,how fabulous it is. You must visit to experience it yourselves, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. We will be returning, on a regular basis.

First time we’ve tried Casa Carlos, great authentic Spanish restaurant with friendly staff. Great choice of food. We ordered around 15 dishes and everyone of them was amazing. Fresh, hot and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

Brilliant. Super food, pleasant staff and a good atmosphere. Very clean.will certainly go again

First time here with my friends and it was a great time. We had 12 small plates and all tried everything. Everything was good, nothing was bad and it has a great variety of dishes to try. Lastly I had the cheesecake my friend told...

Good service and excellent food

Absolutely amazing home cooked food, so much flavour and the ingredients sing for themselves. Highly rate the Salchicha Picantė

Was ok . We had no booking but they found us a table.

Visited friday.excellent food , great service,will revisit soon.

Great food, ample portions on the tapas dishes

Casa carlos is a very good place to eat and enjoy your self

Really nice, fresh food. Attentive staff. Fairly priced. 👌🏼

This is our favourite restaurant in Wigan, never had a bad meal and the staff are always welcoming. The surroundings are typical Spaniah restaurant too, a little Spain away from Spain.

First visit in the new premises & it was amazing. 10/10 for the service (all the staff lovely & friendly) 10/10 for the food (lovely & fresh!) Brilliant drinks flowing all night…..! We will definitely be returning xx

Excellent, highly recommended. The staff are fabulous. Me and my husband love this place. Food is gorgeous. X

Absolutely brilliant family run restaurant... the food is fantastic .. love trying all the different tapas .. lovely authentic Spanish settings .. certainly one of the best I've tried .. a Wigan gem

Easily the best restaurant in Wigan town centre! The food is brilliant, I’ve tried the majority of the menu (not all in one visit!) and I haven’t been disappointed by a single dish! It has a true Spanish feel, a hidden gem!

I recently visited with my family for lunch, the food was fantastic! Absolutely loved the garlic bread with dips, the salsa verde is to die for. There is a great selection of food and wines to chose from.

I’ve always loved it at casa carlos, it’s friendly, gives a real Spanish vibe and the food is bangin’! Never had a bad meal yet!

I met up with some friends for lunch on saturday 3 July we were really impressed. The food was really good and fresh they were large portions for tapas so 2 or 3 dishes would be enough for 1 person its a small intimate setting...

Carlos and his family running this amazing restaurants for years. Every single meal is delicious and atmosphere is so relaxing, with Spanish music.Love this place and highly reccomend.

We visited the new premises after being regulars at the old place and was pleasantly surprised at how intimate and perfect it was. The staff are all always amazing. The food perfectly cooked and any changes we needed were made. As always we left happy...
