Tapas Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“Very busy Saturday night service at the Moody Street Waltham location but the waitress, bartender and kitchen timed everything perfectly. Loved the ginger mojito and Hemingway Daiquiri. Table a shared Squash blossom salad, beef empanadas, pork tacos and lamb chops. Salad, empanadas and tacos stood out. Pan roasted chicken dish was fantastic and other family/friends raved about the bass and yuca fries didn't disappoint. We split the churros and loved them too. Easy parking behind building (free after 6pm). We will return :-)“

“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!“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

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

“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!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“Really love coming to this place for weekend brunch + live music! The so-called ‘vip’ tables have minimum of $50 per person, but the table is so low that it’s hard to eat.. do the regular tables if possible. Their focaccia is good and other food decent as well. Wish they had more shareables.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Though we had a reservation, we were seated by the door. On a cold winter day, with the door constantly opening, it was freezing. The hostess was not particularly nice when she seated us there. The waiter was fine and helpful. The food made up for that. The special Chicken and Waffle was so big that it was good for sharing. The beignets are to die for.“

“A birthday meal that blew me AWAY“

“Everything 10/10. From start to finish — the food, hospitality, music, vibes. We sat at the bar with Renato who was just the best. We tried the meatballs, garlic bread (omg?), the pepperoni with pearl onions, roasted squash pizza and tiramisu — from start to finish everything was absolutely incredible. We are now garlic bread groupies and can’t wait to be back! 5🌟“

“This was incredible. We came here for a late Valentine’s Day dinner around 9 and the place was still pretty busy. We did have a reservation so we were seated downstairs promptly. The only thing we could even think of being a negative is the time it took for the waiter to approach our table initially but it’s a holiday and they were busy so we weren’t pressed. The drinks were great (Mojito and Hotel Nacional) We really weren’t ready for how AMAZING the food was. We had the Jamon Croquettes, Chicharrones de Invierno, Costillas and Taco del dia. Just try it all. They had a passion fruit mousse chocolate tarte special for Valentine’s Day, also amazing. The AGM (I think?) came to chat with us and he was so animated and friendly. We even asked to give our compliments to the chef. We will be back!“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“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.“

“Had a great time with some friends at Matadora. Food was great. Love tapas because you can sample different foods. Drinks were delicious and the we had the best server. only drawback is that it's in the hotel lobby and you can hear the noise from the pool on the other side.“

“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.“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“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“
