Tapas Restaurants near Tuckahoe, NY

“First review of 2024, and we could not think of a better restaurant to review! @buleriataberna has officially become one of our favorites. Every single bite bursts with flavor! • 🥝 Kiwi Mojito 🍲 Calldo Gallego 🐑 Lamb Skewers 🦞 Tres Colas 🦐 Empanadas 🥩 Angus Beef Croquettes 🥩 Churrasco Bravo • I wish we had room for more because every single item was great and the deserts looked amazing, we just physically could not eat anymore! 😂 The vibes were great. Service spectacular! Food amazing. We can’t wait to go back for happy hour and the night life, will do another review of course 😉 - We did get a small dessert which was the Sherry Port. Think Sherry from Spain meets Port from Portugal! Do I need to say more?! 🤤“

“Peeps are gonna get mad.

There is only one truly Spanish - Spanish-owned and Spanish-prepared restaurant in Westchester. Anyone who is Spanish or has lived in Spain knows this.

Tentempie Madrid in Mamaroneck. 🫒

It is strictly a tapas place. Not a tapas bar, because there is no bar seating. They asked me over the phone if they needed to explain what a tapas place is. I answered that I had lived in Spain? Hoping that would satisfy her. I don’t think it did.

If you are craving tortilla, chorizos, aceitunas, gambas al ajillo and croquetas as you would have them for 800 years in Spain, pay them a visit.

There are rules.

Always make a reservation. They will turn you away even if the place looks empty. They have a plan. The place is small and I think it is only the owner up front most of the time. I called at 1pm. They open at 6pm.

The crowd was all non-Spaniards because I don’t think we have too many round these parts and they prob make these dishes at home blind folded. I am Colombian. Having been colonized by Spain made me the most Spanish person in the room besides the owner. 😬

It isn’t a young place to go get your flirt on. There is no vibe. That’s ok because I was there strictly for the tapas, cava and fino.

It is really cute though. There are fun and whimsical details throughout. I cannot believe that I forgot to take a bathroom pic. it was teeny, but adorably appointed.

The only thing that I had NEVER seen in Spain was the sidra served this way (Spanish bitter hard apple cider) served with seltzer, ice and fruit. When I gently inquired about it, he basically gave me a shrug that said… nobody here would drink it straight. He is probably right. I’ll have to travel to Asturias with my dinner companions to share that experience.

We didn’t try the whole menu. I named the dishes that we tried and I feel they nailed.

The prices were nostalgically affordable.

They are not on any “redes sociales” as per the person who took my res. Meaning, NO Instagram or FB for them. This place is like a time capsule from the early 90’s.

You will not feel like you are in Spain. You will definitely feel like you are in Mamaroneck, but if you close your eyes while taking a bite of chorizo and a sip of fino, you might get a waft of cigarettes and hear old men arguing about politics.

(Lastly… those other restaurants that you will argue are Spanish, but aren’t, ARE yummy.)

The gambas al ajillo! Our favorite tapa of the night. 🍤

“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.“

“We LOVO Boro6! It is out Friday night spot (but make sure you grab a reservation!). The staff are super friendly and always attentive. The food is always great — and the bread — I would just eat the bread and be happy! We need more places like this around Westchester! I hope they expand soon.“

“Completely surprised and intrigued with the menu. This is NOT a Mexican food restaurant as the name might fool you. The shrimp taco wrapped in seaweed paper was so fresh tasting,crunchy and absolutely delish. Fried rice served in your own skillet and you mix the egg in was the best! The smores waffle with homemade custard ice-cream was to die for. Bartender Robbie is a pro mixologist with really new style drinks. This place was a treat and I cant wait to go back. Also the service was perfect!“

“New go-to spot!! The best cocktails I’ve had in a minute. Complex, balanced, w high quality spirits. This spot is beautiful, perfect blend of welcoming, cozy, elevated, vibey. Awesome service and delicious food. Appreciate the vegetarian options. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu and happy hour!!“

“Great food. Manny is the best. Awesome service.“

“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 !“

“Excelente. Comida rica y bebidas 🍷 buenas.“

“Last Sunday we celebrated our 50th anniversary with a small gathering at Cote Wine Bar. It was truly a wonderful experience. Five stars seems hardly enough to describe this place. The entire process was seamless and stress free from booking to event. Katerina, the owner and hostess, handled every detail with professionalism, warmth and a genuine smile. The venue is beautiful, warm and inviting, perfect for an intimate celebration. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and enjoyed by all our guests. The drinks were perfectly suited for a Sunday gathering. Thanks to Katerina, we were able to relax and enjoy this milestone with family and friends. We highly recommend Cote Wine Bar for any small gathering.“

“the wines the beer and The FOOD!“

“Everything is perfect there“

“Fantastic specials that cycle often enough to the point where I haven’t been able to order many things from the delicious permanent menu out of fear of missing out on a dish that might not be there the next time. Recommend for a casual experience centered around wonderful food with very friendly service. It’s become my favorite place in Nyack.“

“Very comfy atmosphere and friendly hosting.“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“The attention was wonderful. The white sangria was very good. The food was absolutely delicious. Paella marinara, Chilean sea bass and the mariscada were all yummy. Best part. … the flamenco show.“

“We were three who visited The Meadows on a Friday afternoon in the summer. They were not busy at all. We chose to sit outside on their patio overlooking the golf course which was quite lovely until the bees and lantern flies became very annoying and aggressive. We then moved inside to their lovely dining room. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the food was very good. It would behoove them to try to get the bee situation under better control. Would recommend and we are surely to return.“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“We love staying here! It’s close to our daughters dorms. Very clean rooms and building. There is enough space and nice bathroom for a reasonable price in lovely Harlem!“

“Authentic Japanese cuisine Family owed Clean Excellent service and friendly“

“Awesome atmosphere and music ….and the food is a “10” out of “10”!!! Delicious !!!!! The octopus is a definite must have!!!!!“

“Their sandwiches are outstanding. Also great fries! Very friendly staff.“

“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“

“Been many times before and all experiences have been great. This past weekend, I had an issue with inattentive service, extremely salty food (the LillGriddle Sandwich), and not the best experience. Drinks were great, however, everything took way too long and the food didn't deliver.“

“I had the pleasure of attending Noma Social this past Sunday for their brunch, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The comedy show was absolutely hilarious, keeping everyone in good spirits from start to finish. The musicwas equally superb, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the meal and the vibe. I can’t wait to come back for another Sunday brunch! A huge shout-out to the bartenders and staff—they were incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. Their service was top-notch, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. And let me tell you, the DJ was on fire! The tunes were on point, and the energy in the room was infectious. I had such a great time that I came back Monday for Marlena’s lychee martini —which was incredible. It’s now a new favorite of mine! I’ll definitely be returning to Noma Social for more great times. Thank you to everyone at Noma for the fantastic hospitality and hard work. You’ve earned a loyal customer here!“
