This is a pleasant bar with a wide range of drinks, and if you’re fancying some Mexican food, especially tacos, you’ll be delighted. On a late Thursday evening the music was loud and created a great atmosphere despite not being overly busy. The decor makes for a cosy space and there’s plenty to admire. It’s not the cheapest of options but I’ll certainly be returning!

Trendy bar/ Street food place just off Desnsgate. Only had drinks so cannot comment on the food but it looked great. Lots of draft beers and ciders. Friendly helpful staff.

Trendy bar/restaurant selling Latin street food in the centre of Manchester. We didn't eat but the menu, see attached photo, looked great and we'll definitely be calling back to eat another day. The staff were friendly and helpful. Loads of draft beers and ciders. Clean modern toilets in the basement which looks like you're going into a club with old album covers plastered on the walls. I wonder if this was a night club?

I got searched in the mens for what I assume drugs by a very terrifying meathead in a beanie. After realising that he couldn’t find anything on me he made no effort to lighten the atmosphere or be a bit humane towards someone who was visible extremely panicked and scared. This took place in-front of other people who happened to be in the toilets at the time which clearly damaged his ego more as everyone witnessed his bully behaviour towards someone who is clearly neurodivergent. I walked away without saying anything which made the rest of the night even worse. He spend the rest of the night standing 10 feet away from our table staring at me with pure hate. Everyone who work in that venue could benefit with getting training in spotting the difference between drunkenness and any sort of disability. If you are neurodivergent, don’t have English as your first language or tired after an 8hr bar shift this is NOT the place to be. Probably the most hostile venue in Manchester city centre.

The vibe here is good (can be loud if a party table is in) and is a nice place to spend an evening. No table service is disappointing but at least you can set up a tab alternatively order from the app. The staff all dress like everyone else so it's difficult to know who to approach. Having been to Mexico city and expirenced the street food I can say the Tacos are tasty and authentic. My biggest gripe is the price - portion ratio. Not good. I felt cheated and honestly could have eaten double and still been hungry. See picture. All that said if you are hungry during a beer session this might be enough if you've eaten already. Remember to order more than you think you can eat.😀

Visited here for something nearby to our hotel walking distance to Motel One, read reviews and gave it a go as was looking for Mexican food and good prices along with some cocktails. Service was very welcoming and bar tender asked what we was up for and what we had been doing here. Food was lovely very well presented, quick served hot and very tasty. We went for quesedillas and tacos, and a spice bowl. The quesedilas was best ever so good and full of cheese too. The spice bowl was so tasty too and filling with potato, halloumi and pineapple. The tacos was nice but small portions could have been more and for us we prefer crispy shells - these was soft rolls. Cocktails was great too plenty of branded spirits added and a buzzin vibe inside the venue too… many students was there on our visit and had a nice relaxed buzzin vibe. We will be back again next time in Manchester for sure.. keep up the good food and drinks guys 😀❤️

There are far better bars in this location. St Ann's Square has several bars with better atmospheres although Sandinista does have a good choice of beers and cocktails. We were out for a friend's belated 21st birthday so wasn't expecting too much on a Thursday night. We went to several bars during the evening.

After a few wonderful beers from their extensive and well priced selection and some conversation wife my beautiful wife who has a licence about peep show. Unexpectedly she began a heavy and quick labour, i was a few shandys in at this point and quite understandably panicked. But thankfully and heroically most of the bar staff where trainees in midwifery and the bouncer is a full fledged doctor. My third beautiful daughter was delivered right there and then, expertly diligently and with enough time to get the 192 home. Shes called sandy 10/10

Absolutamente disgustado con el servicio aquí. Quería ir a tomar una pinta descarada mientras esperaba que se hiciera un grabado. Antes de cruzar la puerta, nos pidieron groseramente que nos pusiéramos máscaras (que obviamente es una regla en los cajeros automáticos) y luego nos dijeron que escaneáramos el código QR de la puerta de manera abrupta antes de ser recibidos por Sandinista. Seguramente todo debería haberse hecho de la manera opuesta para una bienvenida más amigable (¡también trabajo en el sector de la hostelería!). Luego me dijeron que no podía continuar hasta que vieran el tic en el track and trace, en realidad no podía Escuché correctamente al tipo en la puerta, así que le pedí que repitiera, me dijo que necesitaba descargar la aplicación de seguimiento y rastreo (que no es un requisito legal) para incluso entrar y ser atendido. Le dije que no lo descargaría porque no es la ley, la mayoría de los lugares te permiten iniciar sesión o tener algún otro sistema para rastrear y rastrear, por lo que me dijo muy groseramente que no nos serviría, a lo que pensé Que te jodan, llevaremos nuestro negocio a otra parte. Lo encontré muy grosero y abrupto, una actitud repugnante y nos desanimó por completo de volver. ¡Realmente impactante que permitieras que alguien tan inapropiado hospedara tu puerta! !

Llevamos un tiempo viniendo con ella y gastando mucho dinero. Unas pocas noches casi 300 entre las seis. Esta noche quería unirme a unos amigos para tomar una copa. El gerente de pelo azul nos dijo que no podíamos unirnos por distanciamiento social. Así que esperamos respetuosamente afuera para sentarnos en dos mesas diferentes. El gerente prefirió sentar a otra persona a pesar de que esperamos afuera durante 30 minutos. Cuando una mesa más grande estaba libre, ella se negó a cambiarnos. Mis amigos y yo nos sentimos extremadamente discriminados porque no somos ingleses. Definitivamente perderán nuestro negocio y se lo haré saber a la gente. Ojalá pudiera calificar este lugar con menos de una estrella simplemente por este grosero gerente.

Found the bar staff rude, went duriing the day so could see how grubby and tatty it is. Last straw was when a fly landed on my pint glass which I found odd in December. I had arrived early to meet a friend but quickly drank up and suggested somewhere else before they could see it for themselves.

Me and two friends went here late Friday night/ Saturday morning about 2am and we found the bar staff to be very obnoxious, ignoring for us a bit when waiting to get served even though there were no other customers at the bar and then one guy shouted at me 'make your mind up' when I changed my mind as to what drink I wanted (this was before he started pouring it so no excuse to say that), they seemed to be under the influence of something so that might have affected their behaviour but still not acceptable.

Extremely disappointed with the service I received tonight. I approached the dj and politely requested a song as to which he firmly replied 'no', I asked why and he stated 'if im honest that kind of music is sh*t'. I found that rude and unprofessional and mentioned he should broaden his taste in music or perhaps be more receptive to his guests. I left in and then sat down with my friends and then a bouncer came up to me and said 'just keep away from the dj and he'll keep away from you'. I found that threatening which was reaffirmed when one of my friends requested another song the dj told her 'if that guy in the white shirt comes back to the booth I'm going to hit him'.

Fuimos con un grupo de colegas para Sandinista para un par de copas adiós como uno de los colegas de partida. Estábamos a unos 20 personas, tranquila y cultural, algunos de nosotros fuimos con niños. Después de un tiempo se comenzó a rechazar las bebidas porque aparentemente alguien estaba cruzando algunos línea imaginaria entre el jardín de la cerveza y el espacio público. No había ninguna señal y no hay información sobre las reglas y los camareros hostiles grupos castigados por el comportamiento de alguien, lo cual no es una buena práctica.

We enjoyed have a few beers in here, the FOH team are lovely. What completely ruined my night and my weekend was the door staff. One of our party was escorted outside for dancing, this was fine we were happy to simply leave and call it a night. However when another one of our party went to ask what was happening the doorman started attacking him. There are multiple witnesses of this and what was generally a harmless evening became a scuffle in which the door team attacked each one of us. I have bruises on my legs and shoulders, passers by had to pull the doorman off me.

Not to worry as we ordered all sorts and it all arrived quickly. It was gorgeous. All fresh and full of flavour. Really felt like we were on a little jolly lol. Waiting staff were great aswell. Felt more like a bar that does a bit of food here and there but I wouldn't hesitate in going with friends for relaxed food and drink if you fancy the casual option

Excellent selection of freshly made tapas, a great buzzing atmosphere, relaxed and funky interior, really friendly staff and really good service.

As I had tickets to a show at the Royal Exchange, my friend had asked me for a recommendation for some pre-theatre food. I suggested Sandinista as we had been here before and had great food and service.We ordered food at 535pm - just three small plates and two drinks.By 620, the food hadn't arrived and my friend noticed the chef wasn't cooking! We then asked how long it would be and the order had not been sent to the kitchen! We were told it would be 5 minutes and they gave us a complimentary drink each to apologise.The food then arrived and was cold! The omelette was cold in the middle with undercooked eggs. I was given a fresh one that had clearly been microwaved as it was steaming hot in seconds.The food was of seriously poor quality, and we left feeling sad that we had paid money for undercooked food that was then microwaved!We really did feel ripped off.

Four of us revisited Sandanista for an evening meal. Had been here several times before but not recently. We were disappointed with the sparse choice of tapas meals compared to previous visits. It seems as though they are trying to incorporate more steak type meals into the menu. What we had was average but used to be so much better. Drinks choice and service were good but we all left a bit deflated with the food. Please return to your former good selves as we like the venue.
