Taberna Tapas Reviews
Great food and service and very convenient parking
Everything was AWESOME. Great food, great drinks and friendly service. Will definitely go back and bring our out of town guests 👍
Best Tapas menu around. So hard to choose. My go to for Octopus which can be so hard to find and always delicious. A nice Manhattan, too! Service is always outstanding. So convenient for a DPAC event.
