Tapas Restaurants near Bronx, NY

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Very comfy atmosphere and friendly hosting.“

“I recently ate here and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The warm ambiance and rustic decor created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal.Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the Spanish chicken. The menu boasted a variety of flavorful dishes, each showcasing the chef’s expertise in combining traditional Spanish flavors with a modern twist. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior that left my taste buds dancing.The appetizers were equally impressive, with options ranging from patatas bravas to chorizo croquettes. Each bite was a burst of Spanish authenticity. The chef’s commitment to using high-quality ingredients was evident, enhancing the overall dining experience.The drink menu featured a well-curated selection of Spanish wines and cocktails that complemented the meal superbly. The sangria, in particular, was a refreshing choice that added to the festive atmosphere of the restaurant.What truly stood out was the attention to detail in presentation. Each dish was a work of art on the plate, showcasing the chef’s dedication to not only taste but also aesthetics.As for the dessert, the churros were a delightful way to end the meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and accompanied by rich chocolate dipping sauce—a sweet ending to a savory journey.In summary, this Spanish chicken restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the inviting ambiance to the delectable dishes, every aspect of the dining experience was carefully crafted. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Spain with a modern flair. ¡Delicioso! Highly recommend“

“muy buena comida y un buen mangu“

“What a fantastic find in Chelsea! We stopped in on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in Manhattan. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was exceptional, and every dish that came to the table was packed with flavor.

We ordered several plates to share so we could try as much as possible, and honestly, every single item impressed us. The cocktails were just as memorable as the food and complemented everything perfectly.

The only downside? There were still dishes on the menu we wanted to try, but we simply ran out of room. This is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing Spanish cuisine in NYC!“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

“Sexy af friendly drinks were awesome and food was exceptional“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to Cameron. I took ill today and was graciously allowed to use their bathroom despite not being a customer. In the midst of trying to get myself together, I left my phone behind.
On calling, Cameron answered my phone and held onto it until my partner could return to collect it.
I’m due to fly home to Australia on Monday. Had Cameron not ensured my phone was safe, my last days in NYC could have been awful. But now my overriding memory will be of the friendliness, honestly and helpfulness of the wonderful New Yorkers I have met.
You did yourself, your restaurant and your city proud today Cameron. Thank you so much.
Oh - and despite me being ill, the noodles looked and smelled damn good too. :)“

“I absolutely love Masquerade. It’s a home away from home and their SAG Eclipse cocktail is one of my all-time favorites.

Their menu has changed through the years but I’d say right now their food is great! I love their Tahchin and Chicken (the tomato and onion on the side is delightful).

On top of all this, their staff are kind and friendly. What else could you want?“

“El mejor lugar de Manhattan donde puedes encontrar un ambiente acogedor y moderno, con comida deliciosa y la mejor atención“

“Went here on a whim to celebrate our friends special ocassion. The interior is nicely decorated and quiet. We ordered some patatas bravas, cheese and ham platter, white sangria and the chicken! Our food was brought our promptly and we enjoyed our food and drinks. The plates were easily shareable among 4 people and the food was good. The star was definitely the chicken. I'm not sure what they put in that chicken or how they cooked it but it was delicious. One of our friends declared ir the best chicken he's had in his life.
Huge shout out to our server who was funny, attentive and brought us some champagne to celebrate our special ocassion!“

“was able to snag a reservation easily on a wednesday night. It was exceptional contemporary take on Korean cuisine. perfectly fried monkfish and an incredibly crisp, flavorful fried soft-shell crab. A standout experiential highlight is the DIY scallop gimbap. For the mains, the duck bulgogi was our favorite: umami, savory, and sweet notes, all tied together with a deeply satisfying charred, smoky finish. The bread pudding that is wonderfully delicious without being overly sweet, followed by a gingery shaved ice that provides a sharp, refreshing palate cleanser“

“What a fantastic evening at Tiny Tapas! My friends and I came in looking for good food and great company, and we walked out with so much more. From the moment we sat down, the energy of this place just felt right—warm, welcoming, and full of genuine hospitality.
The real heart of the experience was Eric, the owner. He treated us with so much respect and made us feel like we belonged there. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and there was this easy harmony to the whole night that you just can’t fake. Eric clearly pours his heart into this place, and it shows in every detail.
And the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every plate hit the mark, and sharing tapas around the table is the perfect way to slow down and savor both the flavors and the company. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you good food is meant to be shared.
If you’re looking for a spot to gather with friends, laugh, eat well, and walk away feeling like life is a whole lot better than you remembered—this is the place. Tiny Tapas is a gem, and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Eric, for an unforgettable night!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“We were in the area and were looking for a dinner spot.

We ordered almost everything on the menu. The appetizers, the entrees, etc and split everything. Out of everything on the menu the rice, potatoes and sausage were our favorites. If you go with a group I recommend ordering the shared plates, appetizers and dessert.

The churros were amazing too!

I’d definitely go back if I was in the area again. So amazing!“

“I went to Plado for the first time last night with a couple of friends who had already been there several times and raved about it. They were not wrong to rave! The food was simply superb. Every dish was an experience to savor. It actually made me stop and slow down so I could enjoy what was happening in my mouth. Everything had various levels of flavor that made the experience worthwhile. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Standouts for me were hard to choose but if I had to, the taro gnocchi, duck confit, and roasted carrots were my favorite. Desserts were out of this world delicious and unique so I encourage everyone to save room. The ambiance is lovely and the chef and his wife are warm and welcoming. I wish them a long and successful stay in Glen Cove!“

“The popcorn chicken was so good. I think it was my favorite dish of everything we ordered, and the potatoes were perfectly done. The pasta was good, but I didn’t go crazy about it. The shrimp toast was good, and the sauce was excellent. The mushroom bibimbap was tasty and had a kind of coconut flavor at the end.

The restaurant was very loud; I couldn’t hear what the people at my table were saying. The service was all over the place. They had a problem with the AC unit dripping, so they put a pan underneath to catch the water, but they dropped the pan all over the floor and into the kitchen. They didn’t seem to clean their hands afterward and continued serving customers.

The restaurant was very understaffed. The food is great, but the place needs to feel a little cleaner and more organized.“

“Adore this place. I came here with my closeted friend Dennis, and I could tell he was gathering himself to tell me something important. The fact that he felt safe enough to do that here says something about what this place means for the LGBT community“

“Delicious food!! We left feeling “high” with happy taste buds. Great vegetarian and pescatarian options too. Got patatas bravas, artichoke salad, fried lemon fish, tortilla, olives, pan con tomate, and deviled eggs, sangria, flan. 5 stars!“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

“Delicious pea salad, steak and potatoes with chimichurri, and black sesame bread pudding. The staff was incredibly cognizant of timing since I was seeing a show. I would absolutely go back for the steak and potatoes alone! The scallop crudo could have used more balance on the acidity but that is my only note.“

“delicious food and drinks menu. service was attentive too.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“delicious tapas, cervesa Alhambra, flamenco de Seville, personable service was all together like the best of Spain. one of those moments that shows nyc always strives to be the best!“

“We had a great time sitting at the bar (drinks and tapas). we'd like to thank Max so much. Brilliant barman. He made our last day in NY very special (love Mrs. Doubtfire) 🤣“

“Best neighborhood restaurant! Amazing and creative cocktails. Service is awesome too!“

“I stopped by this little Spanish tapas bar in Soho, and it was such a lovely surprise. The atmosphere is simple and warm, with a friendly, almost family-style vibe. The service was very cordial, and even though the place isn’t trying to be fancy, it feels authentic in the best way.
The food brought me straight back to my childhood. I tried the tortilla, a toast with calamari, another one with ham and cheese, and some croquettes — everything was delicious and comforting, just like my grandmother’s cooking. The flavors were exactly what Spanish tapas should be: honest, flavorful, and made with care.
It’s a great spot to stop for a few bites, share a table, and enjoy real Spanish comfort food in a relaxed setting. Highly recommend if you’re craving something simple and genuinely good.“

“Great location; close to Metro North. Quality Food, Service and Friendly Staff😀“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Superb experience , great food, prompt service, moderate prices...very enjoyable and well worth the money“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Tinto is a true fine dining experience in Washington Heights. Amazing service, high end tapas and a great date night atmosphere. One of my local favorite spots.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Absolutely fantastic. We’re from Spain. The food is authentic and delicious. The best tortilla de patata and gambas al ajillo❣️ Tortilla de patata is better than Casa Dani in Madrid. It’s high quality comfort food with a touch of finesse and expertise. We found our home away from home. 🏠 Thank you Carlos.“

“This place is a tiny little jam with great service and small bites. Everything was tasty from the Hamon to the Wago beef tartar, Hamachi crudo, Seabass ceviche and the spaghetti. Wines were excellent, especially the Chablis and Chateauneuf-du-pape. Place ain’t cheap so fasten your seatbelts.“

“I originally came in to pit stop shoes and ended up doing a little pitstop at Shoe Bar and had such a great time! The Smoke and Heat drink is perfection, and we absolutely loved our bartender. Grace is such a gem, she made the experience extra special.“

“My husband took me here for my birthday and he got ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because My Moon was 12/10.

I said I wanted to be outside, have great food, and be in a place where we could have a conversation without having to shout across the table - and My Moon hit the ball out of the park.

I almost don't want to write this review because it is one of the few hidden gems left in Williamsburg, but I had such a wonderful experience I want to pay it forward. You step off of 10th into the most beautiful oasis garden patio (I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of it!), we sat in the partially covered patio, which was great as the wind picked up. It literally felt like an oasis.

We opted for tapas (patatas bravas, octopus, croquettes de jamón, and a salad) and a bottle of wine to share. The food came out quickly, was delicious, and the service was great. The staff surprised us with the chocolate lava cake when we finished - I think a little bird told them it was my birthday 😂😂

Overall 12/10 will absolutely go again, it's already my list to take family when they come visit.“

“Not only the best Persian food I’ve ever had, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The lamb ribs are an absolute MUST. Everything is fresh & delicious, traditional yet innovative. 10/10 and I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Lovely staff and vibes as well.“

“We absolutely loved this place! Don’t hesitate, go straight for the $69 tasting menu. You will be filled up completely and also get to experience a wide variety of unique and delicious flavors. And don’t forget that the menu even includes two desserts, which was a wonderful surprise. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was both cozy and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“An outstanding burger and salad, tucked away on the 5th floor of Nordstrom. primarily a shopping floor with no break between it and the restaurant. Department store ambience. Although service was slow, waitstaff were attentive. The restaurant was completely out of beer on a Friday night at 6 pm.“

“You get what you pay for in the best possible way. The meal quality was high and priced fairly for the serving size. Their cooking reflected true expertise. The meal and staff exceeded expectations. We plan to come back at our first opportunity!“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“
