Tapas Restaurants near Riverdale Park, MD

“A truly wonderful Tapas bar in Riverdale (town) right next to College Park, Maryland. The vibe is easy and cute but with a serious bar and nice wine selection. The food was innovative, hot and fresh and not a single bad bite, es muy delicioso!! The staff was warm, friendly, attentive and helpful and this delightful little spot is not a place to miss!!“

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!“

“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“I had a great first visit to Boqueria Dupont the other day! The food was mostly excellent—flavorful, well-prepared, and perfect for sharing. The only dish that fell a bit short was the roasted chicken, which didn’t quite meet the high bar set by everything else. I also liked the white sangria.

The service was very good—attentive and efficient without being intrusive. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, though it can get a bit noisy at times.

Overall, a solid spot for tapas and a fun dining experience. Would definitely come back!“

“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)“

“I have walked by this place for years and thought, "Golly, I should try that place.". Then i never did, until today. Gypsy Kitchen: you won't find a better priced value and food quality in town for Sunday brunch. Now that Brookland's Finest is long gone, I thought it wasn't possible to find a brunch location you could actually get into and not lose your paycheck and still get good, rock solid food. This is that hidden Sunday brunch gem, and it's smack dab right in the middle of the hot 14th Street strip! It is terrific because our server was top notch, the food he recommended was superior to comparable in town here, and that upstairs outdoor deck on a gorgeous spring Sunday was not impossible to get a great table, nor was it pretentious. My friend had a Bloody Mary and the Spanish Benedict and she just loved the quality and healthy Putin of greens that evened it out. I had the kefte burger with insane tomato jam and wrote was it flavourful. Run, don't walk. Everything is closing in D.C. thanks to the massive lay offs at the U.S. govt. Don't let this great joint slip from our collective fingertips.“

“Just an all-around wonderful experience, I was able to pull right up sit down with my lovely puppy outside and enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in the long time“

“Great vibes and music here!!!😎“

“Excelente lugar para despejar la mente y divertirte ala grande viendo tanta mujeres lindas“

“We were really amazed and enjoyed our visit. Great staff and amazing food!“

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.“

“The chicken soo good I give this spot a 10 I just had the chicken visiting from Charlotte NC“

“Amazing food and a great environment.“

“Solid Italian restaurant in DC.

Easy to get reservations, I went on a Friday night with a friend. We got the three course set menu. A lot of food for the price. Great quality and great options. Recommend coming hungry or ordering off the a la cart menu. Garlic knots are a must.

Lots of servers that were very attentive. Be careful, they’ll scoop up your plate if you’re not paying attention.

Wine and beer list was extensive.

Fair pricing for quality of food and atmosphere.

Would definitely recommend to a friend. Would definitely visit again.

Parking: No parking lot, not a lot of street parking. Had to park a few blocks away.

Kid-friendliness: I probably wouldn’t bring kids here, didn’t have kid friendly food.“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“Good service, good food and awesome drinks!“

“Todo exquisito y un ambiente muy bueno . Gracias por dejarme volver a mi país por un rato ♥️“

“I went to Jinya to celebrate my daughters bday. Our server was Monique and she was absolutely amazing. She smiled the entire time and she was so helpful. The food was quick and fresh and it was just all around a great experience

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian ramen was delicious“

“It's wonderful to find a little piece of your culture in Washington DC. After walking around the city on Christmas Eve, coming across this restaurant and tasting a delicious meal that transported me to Madrid was the best Christmas gift I have ever received.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in DC!! Tucked away in the outskirts of Adams Morgan, Yerevan may not look like much from the outside, but this hidden gem is an absolute delight. The staff is all super friendly, and they have the most incredible selection of pastries, coffee, and tea. I have probably tried half of their pastry case, and I continue to be impressed with each and every item. I absolutely adore their homestyle baklava -- the phyllo dough is perfectly crispy and soaks up the honey and nut mixture beautifully, and the dessert is simultaneously decadent and not overly sweet. The honey nugget is a great little sweet bite, and is the perfect gluten-free treat or small pick-me-up, and the honey cake is absolutely incredible. It's a smidge overly sweet (as the main flavor is, as the name implies, honey), but it still manages to be amazing.

Beyond their lovely sweets, their drinks are incredible. They have one of my favorite matcha lattes in DC, as well as a matcha rose latte that is perfect when you're looking for a hint of spring. Their coffee is also wonderful, with a great nutty aroma and deep, robust flavor. It's also served in the cutest little Armenian mugs, which really adds to the overall experience.

The space is shockingly large, with 4-5 larger tables and a couple 2-person tables, all beautifully arranged with cute little flower pots and throw pillows. They even have a small stack of books and board games if you get bored of yapping and need something else to keep you entertained. It's the perfect, cozy little spot to either read, work, or catch up with friends.“

“Don’t let Atxondo’s modest looks deceive you. I was skeptical but some friends wanted to try this place so I went along. I was very pleasantly surprised. We ate vegetarian and everything was excellent. I can recommend the brussel sprouts, tortilla española, crispy potatoes, coliflor, golden beets, fried shishitos, and risotto. I almost forgot to mention the interesting drink menu and the best flan I’ve ever had. Service was great too. Go with a group so you can try everything!“

“If you’re looking for a place that serves up dry ciders, look no further. You have to order everything online and they bring it out to you. I’ll definitely return to buy some more ciders to-go.“

“Good food, reasonable prices“

“Great place to go after a long day or on a date . The staff was awesome when it came to what wine may be best to try with which dinner . First timers or old heads to wine excellent place to visit . Will visit every time I am in town“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“A Culinary Masterpiece at Enigma on U Street

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Enigma on U Street in Washington, DC, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite the late hour, Chef Dennis Clark crafted a dish that left a lasting impression on my palate.

The standout of the evening was the mussels, which were served in a remarkable spicy sweet sauce that perfectly balanced heat and sweetness. The flavors were bold yet harmonious, with the sauce enhancing the natural brininess of the mussels rather than overpowering it. Every bite was a revelation, showcasing Chef Clark’s exceptional skill and creativity in the kitchen.“

“Great place and great staff!“

“Wine market, bar, small plates joint in a good location. Stopped in for a flight and light bite on a Saturday night. The downstairs bar/market was packed, lots of energy, and buzzing. We were upstairs because we had a reservation. Decidedly quieter up there only a couple of other folks dining, the back room had a large party (15) cozy with lighting in the right place. We started with a flight and narrowed in on Pomerol by the glass. The Somm was friendly, knowledgeable, and made a good suggestion for our final glass, a Cahors. A licorice-bomb that we really liked. On the food side, we were very basic, fries with homemade ketchup; French onion soup, with cheddar and a nice bread on the side; and roasted/fried cauliflower with yogurt, pine nuts, and pickled raisins, which was a little overdone. We didn't venture much further on the food menu, but we were really here for the wine anyway. On our way out, we perused the markets but weren't able to find that Cahors in a bottle server/somm. sensing our dilemma, procured a bottle for us from the back. Nice experience, I'd explore more by the glass options here and they have some interesting finds in the wine market.“

“The place is amazing . The food is good“

“Service and food were very excellent!!!!“

“um ambiente perfeito, a comida gostosa como as bebidas“

“Very clean and great decor, instagram worthy!! The food was simply AMAZING. Authentic and full of flavor and quality. They make the bread buns for the burgers in house ?? I live 45 minutes away and will be back for sure. 100% worth fighting the traffic to get here and I mean that. Also they have some great drink options. The watermelon lime soda was so cute and very tasty!

Parking: Free street parking just behind the block it’s on“

“Amazing food and service.“

“I visited Miss Toya"s Creole on Saturday September 30th. I took my oldest son for his birthday ?. My waitress Hope gave excellent customer service. The food was awesome as always. The manager Imai came to our table numerous times to make sure everything was good. Please go to Miss Toyas in Silver Springs Md the food and customer service will not disappoint you.“

“This is a great breakfast/brunch place. Was in Washington DC for a few days doing the tourist thing and this is one of the only breakfast places in the Marriott we were staying at. Being honest, I didn't have high expectations when I made my reservation. Wow, we're we pleasantly surprised! 1st morning I went with a standard eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast breakfast. Ordered my eggs over easy and they were cooked perfectly! The bacon was crispy, potatoes had great flavor and were also cooked just right. They bring the toast dry, with a tin of butter and 4 different jams/jellies to choose from. Other than having outstanding food, the service was excellent as well. Entire staff was friendly and courteous. My wife and I enjoyed our experience so much, we ate there every morning we stayed at the Marriott. On the following day I ordered corned beef hash and eggs and it was indeed homemade style, not the canned version that reminds you of dog food. Prices were very reasonable and they also offer a breakfast buffet.“

“Amazing place! We had a baby shower there and could not be more than perfect. The food and service were incredible. Tanya is a great manager and very helpful. We couldn’t be more than happy.“

“Food was wonderful and my server was ok. I was excited to try this restaurant and wanted to experience as many flavors as possible. I was a bit disappointed that my server couldn't explain the menu, I ended up having to use Google since she left me mid order to serve drinks. The decorations were pretty and the music wasn't too loud. The water had a weird taste and smell, which for an upscale restaurant, you would think they'd have filtered water for their guests.“

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had“

“Great place to enjoy with friends“
