Mateo Bar de Tapas Reviews
Easily, EASILY one of the top 5 food experiences, of my entire life. They have a dish called "Marrow" w bone marrow and short ribs - served in the Bone! It was awesome. Plus as a bonus the full experience is to have a shot of Sherry or Bourbon down the bone channel after - I left that picture out - it was epic. A must try dish/experience (and side note they have a really good Special right now: a Turnip dish with Ramps, which I had never heard of before but was great)
Some of the best tapas in NC. Creative and delicious “small plates” accompany traditional tapas. Nice wine and beer selection, and some inventive cocktails as well. Great atmosphere too!
