Tapas Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“Food was excellent. Had the empanada, guscamole, cuban sliders, and ceviche. Everything came out as it was ready, tapas style. Service was prompt until dessert, when we had to wait quite a while for our waiter to return. The place had gotten much busier while we ate. When leaving it was quite noisy.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Utterly delicious! Got a spicy beef bowl and it fixed me. I was meeting some friends and didn't have time to research any gluten free options in the area. Took a chance on this place and the hostess was very considerate of my dietary needs. Will definitely order again in the future!“

“The dishes are so intentional. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought that went into each dish. The cornbread and scotch eggs are divined!“

“This is one of my favourite sit down pizza places around Boston. I love the vibe of the place, especially sitting on their outside seating during good weather. The 2 times I’ve been here, both times I was amazed by the things I ordered. To add, I’m a vegetarian too, and the pizza I tried this time was the eggplant pizza, it was so good!! Must try for sure!!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“This was a fun dinner. The service was excellent and the food was a positive surprise! I spend a lot of time in Miami so I wasn’t sure what to expect going for Cuban food in Somerville. The food was good and drinks were well executed. The only thing I didn’t like is when we arrived it was not full upstairs on the main floor but they wanted to sit my party alone in the basement. That was weird. We asked to sit upstairs with everyone else and they were able to move us.“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“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.“

“LOOOOOOK ! When I tell you it was everything I needed in a solo Sunday brunch, it was every single thing. The host, male young guy and so very nice was a great way to start the day. But my waitress Mimi was AWESOME! Her accent was lovely she took care of me like we were family and she told me, as a first time person here, that I was not going to be disappointed and I wasn’t! Everyone I encountered was so very nice and gracious but Mimi was the home run for the business. I eat out a lot and do a lot of reviews and she made me want to love the experience. She checked in frequently and there was never a moment that I, as a solo table was lwss important for her as the big tables. Thank you Mimi!!!🥳 Also at some point a manager asked if I was good and I was GREAT! If you’re visiting Harvard, Cambridge or surrounding area run to this place!!! The food was perfection and exactly what I want in a Sunday brunch. I wish I had another day here so I could come back again and again and again. Woohoo Team Mimi!!!!’“

“AMAZING. Both quality of food, and service. Our server last evening was Patrick, who was professional and delightful. I let him chose my wine and it did not disappoint. Excellent preparation of venison as well. 10/10 experience, as we don't eat out often - and we were impressed. Wonderful evening, will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“Lou’s is incredible, and I cannot wait to go back! The food and drinks were amazing (Orange Crush cocktail was maybe the best cocktail I’ve ever had!), and the atmosphere was spot on as a jazz club especially while enjoying the monthly Debo Ray show. Also need to shout out the servers- every single server was so attentive, helpful, and friendly; they were the definition of a well-oiled machine! Well done! Definitely check this place out!“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“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.“

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

“Cheers to moments that make life feel a little softer. 🍸

I stopped by Matadora for lunch while my daughter's dance competition was taking place at the Hilton Boston/Woburn, and I'm so glad I did! Since the restaurant is conveniently located inside the hotel, it was the perfect spot to relax between performances.

I ordered the kale quinoa salad, crab rangoon, and a sangria. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The salad was light yet filling, the crab rangoon was perfectly crispy with a delicious creamy filling, and the sangria was refreshing and the perfect addition to my meal.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly and attentive, and it made for a great lunch break during a busy competition day. If you're staying at the Hilton or attending an event nearby, I definitely recommend stopping by Matadora!“

“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.“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“Delish dinner. Swordfish & fresh vegetables. Scrumptious tart for dessert!“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Had an amazing experience here! We went on a Monday night, late, it wasn't busy and the view was great. The service was the best part though, Maria our server was amazing. She right away asked if I wanted a blanket to stay warm, was super friendly, and perfectly attentive but never intrusive on our conversation. My gauva margaritas and my friends drinks were great. We didnt get food but would absolutely go back for food and drinks. Hidden gem of a Boston rooftop bar!“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“
