TLDR - great food, excellent service, authentic, veggie/vegan/gluten free friendly, family friendly.
No Manches, if you're unfamiliar was based in a small retail unit and was a very cosy venue. It has since moved to a joint venture at the York House Hotel (Drury Lane) as a dual restaurant with San Leo. This new location is right in the centre of town ideally situated for those just wanting to have a meal or for those wanting to eat before a night out. Free parking available to customers adjacent to the restaurant.
They offer 2 great menus of Italian food and Mexican. This new restaurant is much bigger and not as intimate for No Manches however can accommodate more than a couple of covers. The restaurant is clean and modern and shares the italian/mexican balance well with subtle hints of colour and cactus plants in the room. - The review will cover the Mexican side of the restaurant (No Manches)
FOOD - I'm a big fan of flavour and No Manches hits well here. It's easy to tell that everything is fresh, home cooked food. Over a few visits we've had Streetcorn, Soup, Taco's, Burritos, Quesadillas and Burger. Our party was catered for well with plenty of vegan and veggie options. The flavour combinations work very well with fresh coriander breaking into every bite. The food is flavourful and not overly spicy and hot sauce is available if you wish to add a extra hit. If you have small children like we did, tomato & pasta worked well for us from the Italian menu - though for our 2 year old and 18 month old they could have easily shared.
Dessert for us consisted of Tiramisu (said to be the best that the guest has ever had), caramelised banana (a favourite for the wife) and churros. Churros were warm, fresh, crunchy yet spongy with cinnamon sugar and warm chocolate sauce.
SERVICE - part of the reason we regularly drive >30 mins to get here from Huddersfield. This is an independent business and it shows. The business owners really care about customers and nothing is too much trouble. We have visited about 3 times over the last month and each time made to feel very welcome. The waiting staff really take time to make sure they have your order correct before going to the kitchen and are very careful with dietary requirements and allergens. We arrived with two toddlers who were made to feel just as welcome as we were and not seen as a problem which can be the case when you're dining out with small kids that get bored. Our toddler is going through a phase (plain food) and wouldn't eat the tomato sauce. We asked if they could rinse the sauce off the pasta in hot water for us however they just cooked some fresh which she ate!
All in all, a wonderful place to visit with a great dining experience, good food and service that will make a repeat customer from first time guests!

Amazing food, I live in the middle of nowhere and crave burritos often, I am so happy I've found this place! Already counting down the days til my next order!
Went into the restaurant to collect it and it's such a welcoming little place with lovely staff, I love it!
Food was beautiful and still red hot when I got it home half an hour away as it was all wrapped in decent packaging.

Great little place, love the food! The phone number isn't right, though. I tried to call to see if I could add some Mexican Hot Chocolate to my order, but the number belongs to the York Hotel now!

Been to this fab little place today evening with family for husband’s birthday meal.We didn’t reserve table but they managed to accommodate us.After seating we asked tables to be changed to a corner one as our little on was not very comfortable in middle of people.The staff done this promptly and was very polite and accommodating.
Superb food.Fresh and quality was top notch.
Toilets were spotless and maintained a high standard for such a small place.
Unfortunately the fire alarm started going off and was continuing to go off intermittently.The service carried out as normal while they were trying their absolute best to sort it.
Later the waiters and I think the manager came to each table apologising for the noise and told us all food is free of charge due to this.
The place was busy and nearly all tables were full being a Friday night.That gesture was totally unexpected and I know it must have been hard for them to come to that decision.We would have been happy with a discounted bill but this was customer service at its peak.
We usually pay by card and only had some cash which we left for the waiter.
Your staffs are a credit to the restaurant and food is fab.The graceful way of managing the challenge tonight was very impressive.
Will definitely come back to this place with no hesitation.Thankyou for today evening❤️

Picture is of old location as they have moved, lager premises and a nice place to be, food is awesome the loaded fries are to die for as are the burritos we tried one beef and one chicken I loved both but if I had to say the chicken was better

We come here all the time and the food is always great. Good selection of dishes and plenty of vegetarian and vegan meals. It’s always freshly cooked, really hot and the staff always make sure you’ve got what you need, it’s really great service. Will continue to come back here regularly for a taco fix :)

My friend and I came for tea on the off chance there was space. Staff were really welcoming and attentive as soon as we walked in, and throughout. The food was colourful and delicious. I had the Chicken Fajita Salad and my friend had Tofu Salad. It was really good value for money and a quirky little place that was clean. We will be returning to try other things on the menu!

I cannot praise this place enough! The food is incredible, so much to choose from and plenty of options for vegans/veggies/gluten free. The staff are absolutely wonderful. I booked the place for a surprise party and the communication when organising was fantastic. On the day, they went above and beyond to make it really special and everything ran so smoothly. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back soon!!

Had both takeaway and dined in. This place is amazing. A work friend recommended it and one evening we all decided to get a takeaway together. Quite a large order with different dishes ordered. Everything was spot on. They even added everyone’s names to the food so it was no messing once we were ready to tuck in.
The food is to die for.
I even considered getting it again the following night it was so good!
A week or two later I took my wife and two young kids to eat in the restaurant. It’s very intimate. We were chatting with very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Again the food was amazing. Even two normally fussy kids enjoyed everything out before them.
This place is a treasure.
Looking forward to my next visit.

Great Mexican restaurant in Wakefield with plenty of vegan options and friendly staff.
Deffo worth checking out.
Joanne Elliott
Original restaurant we booked messed up our booking, and I'm glad it did because we might never have found this brilliant little Mexican place.
Best Mexican food I've had, yummy tacos, lovely staff. Everything great 👍
Richard Firth
Collected an order for the first time in Saturday. The food was fresh and hot even after a 10 minute drive home. The grilled chicken burrito was packed with fresh ingredients and was great that it was was toasted on a griddle too. The fish tacos were lovely, light and fresh and the Mexican fries were fresh and crunchy. We will definitely use this great addition to Wakefield again. A great find with lovely friendly staff

Lovely food and helpful staff. Great vegan options.
Sean-Joseph Dawson
We’ve dined in here and had several takeaway’s and the food is consistently the same - Really reasonable prices for the big portion sizes and expect taste explosion!
The menu is what you'd expect for a mexican but definitely more veggie/vegan choices than you’d usually find, so that is a definite bonus,
The staff are all really friendly, big portions, amazing and authenetic taste too.
Can’t wait until next time!
