Tapas Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“Although the food and service were outstanding, the restaurant was very cold. The air conditioning was blasting making it uncomfortable. The noise level was so loud it was almost impossible to talk. Most of the restaurant walls are wood, but some of the walls such as the one we were next to were painted and were peeling and in dire need of a paint job. The sangria of the day was delicious, but was 75% ice so not worth the $15 for a couple of sips.“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Excellent and creative options. Enjoyed a cocktail too.“

“This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.“

“Perfection! I can't say enough about the magic-potion cocktails, flavorful dishes, cool vibe, fun staff and locals 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“The menus items are fusion of different cuisine, which are quite fun to try. All dishes are medium sized tapas style, each person probably needs about 1.5 dishes. The alligator meat is exotic, and tastes quite nice. There are other dishes that are a little salty and too strong in flavor that left a strange after taste, hence the four stars for the food. We did not finish the duck and the ribs.“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“I went for the first time earlier this week, and I thought it was great! Firstly they were very gracious about my indecisiveness on where I wanted to sit, and allowed me to switch tables. Twice. The bev list had a solid selection of natural wines from some of my favorite producers, but I ended up ordering a glass of one I've never tried before - a skin contact Carricante which matched nicely with the light char on our pizza. The food was fresh and vibrant, our server was attentive and engaging (sorry hun, I forgot your name, even though I asked a couple times, but you deserve a shout-out). Long story short, I went in hungry and slightly grumpy, I left happy and with a satisfied stomach.“

“A birthday meal that blew me AWAY“

“The food, atmosphere and customer service is top tier. It was worth every penny. The food feels like your abuela is in the back cooking with love. The presentation is chic and luxurious. It feels like you were transported to Cuba. You greeted as soon as you walk in and the waitress and waiters go above and beyond to make sure you’re okay. This has to be on my top 5 places to eat in Cambridge. I wish I knew about this place before I graduate. I will be back. The ropa vieja is so good. It’s a traditional dish.“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“We ate at Matadora twice in three nights and both times the food was excellent. We ordered tapas, about nine different types. The shishito peppers were excellent, the beef brochette, the burrata, all very good. The restaurant is in the lobby of the Hilton in a wide open space, very friendly servers, good value, I would recommend.“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“Really appreciate that the items are affordable. The tea was $2.99 and the day old pastries were half off. I got an apricot scone, and it was yummy!

They’re also right next to Shaw park, and have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as the a led at the park.

You can get whole meals for take home or just an individual picnic lunch for here.

There is free 30 min parking out front and one step to get inside.

“Great experience dining here. Today is the 5th time in the past 3 weeks. The food is prepared to order and is superb and full of flavor! The chef is also the owner and he does an awesome job! He came out the last time to say hello and thanked us for our patronage. The wait staff are super friendly and are attentive to you, eager to satisfy. I've had the swordfish special the last two times and it was really fresh and very flavorful, my father had the lamb shank and he loved it! If you have a food allergy, the chef is very effective in completely omitting that ingredient and is so good in his profession that he is able to whip up a flavorful substitute. It is not always that you find a restaurant that knows how to prepare duck confit properly and if you love lamb shank, look no further.“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“
