Great food in a great atmosphere – My girlfriend and I have been here twice and the food is amazing. Very authentic. I got stuffed after 2 1/2 tapas. Try the solomillo en tostada (beef tenderloin on toast) and patatas bravas (baby potatoes) WOW. Oh and get the Sangria. We ordered a pitcher and it was amazing. Its not too strong but after a few drinks, I stood up and you can really feel it. The decor is interesting. Big boar head hanging over the bar and red peppers. Its a tradition in Spain I guess and just adds to the authe... read more

THIS FOOD IS NOT SPANISH! – I am a Spanish person from Spain, and I can tell you that THIS IS NOT SPANISH FOOD. The dishes only have a spanish name, but neither the ingredients, neither the way to be cooked and mostly the flavour is from Spain, so I will suggest to the restaurant to don't try to appear like they are Spanish because this is not true, and they only have one beer from Spain, one of the worst, byt he way.

nice scene – cozy spanish environ, some outdoor seating. good tapas, good drinks... there was a bit of a wait (was it past 9pm?), but less than a drink's time. wouldn't go there for the bar though, bit too noisy and sport bar-like. :)

Loved it here! – Husband and I made reservations here. We didn't make many on our trip but this was one place worth checking out during Restaurant Week. Our waiter was great - attentive, helpful recommendations, good with explanations. We each had one cold tapas, two hot tapas, a personal order of paella and dessert. We had Egg/Potato/Onion omelette and anchovies on crostini. Both were very excellent. I'm not a big anchovy fan. The garlic seasoning blended well with the anchovy. For hot tapas, we chose: pork tenderloin, beef... read more

Not just great sangria anymore! Adding a martini bar! – As a Back Bay resident I can admit that I frequent here many a times a month, I'm a huge fan of anywhere where I can get a great meal (a hard find on Newbury Street. as we all know), good service and a fun environment. Tapeo hits the nails on the head every time. They have a great collection of tapas, that I try and mix up every time I go- try the garlic shrimp though, its one I get almost every time. The point of this post is that I am excited to let everyone know that... read more

Go! – This place is one of our favorites. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great service. We have been here many times over the last 10 years, and never had a bad experience. A great place for a date or a dinner party.

Amazing!! – This is mainly in response to the 3 star a couple slips below me... Learn what tapas, is! It is supposed to be "small" portions... If you are a true ?foodie? you would never write such a review! As far as the restaurant goes, the food is FANTASIC and the wait staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been to Tapeo a number of times and I would recommend it to anyone looking for great tasting food and an authentic atmosphere.

Great Tapas place! – I've been to Tapeo at least 5 times now and I've never been disapointed with the food. The wait however can get quite tedious. They do not accept reservations during a certain time period I believe from 6:30-8:30 because it is ALWAYS crowded. Usually when I go around 7:30-8 I wait about 20-30 minutes on average for a table. There is usually space to sit at the bar where they have fabulous drinks! Their sangria is delicious but I definitely have to say that their pomegranete margarita has and always be my... read more

Great Tapas – This place captures the real feel of a Tapas restaurant in Spain. The inside decor is very authentic feeling. We sat outdoors, the space was tight, but it worked. Good services and nicely priced. Not all the tapas choices are great ones, for example the garlic chicken (skip it). The mushrooms and potatoes were really nice. The sangria wasn't all that great either, I have definitely had better. Their wine menu looked very interesting, I would suggest going with a wine. As for dessert, I wasn't impressed by the s... read more
