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

A Great First Date – I took my date to dinner at Tapeo on Wednesday night. Let me first say the atmosphere was perfect. It had a romantic feel that made it the right choice for a first date. The Spanish decor gave it a nice authentic feel. We started with a Tropical Mojito at the bar while we waited a few minutes for our table. The wait was about ten minutes. We got a great seat by the front window in the upstairs dining room, giving us a gorgeous view of Newbury Street. We had a Plato Mixto and Pimiento del Rellenos for sta... read more

Lively and festive atmosphere with nice food. – We went to Tapeo the Saturday of Marathon weekend. The place was packed, but staff was very pleasant and helpfull and guests seemed to be having fun. After a sangria and a not too long wait at the bar, our party of four was sat upstairs in what seemed a very quiet dining room, given how crowded it was. We started off with their "Plato Mixto" which consisted of Manchego Cheese, Serrano Ham, Roasted Red Peppers and Olices. This was served with very moist corn flour bread and chic... read more

not a bad experience, but i wouldn't go back there again – when you go to tapeo, be prepared for miniscule portions. my husband and friends took me to tapeo for my birthday, and i was excited at first glance of the menu. they have a broad array of different cold and hot tapas plates which we (at first) thought was decent in price. i was SHOCKED when the food started coming out and we saw the actual portions. i am not overexaggerating when i say that the $8 empanada was one medium-sized dumpling stuffed with meat. i know tape... read more

A great Experience with excellent food choices – Tapeo is one of me and my girlfriends favorite resturaunts in Boston. The dishes are excellent. We love the Tapas especially the Garlic Shrimp and Spanish Sausage. Tapaeo has a wonderful wine selection that also compliments their dishes well. When the weather is nice I enjoy the outdoor seating amongst the tempo of people passing by on Newbury street. I recommend to anyone seeking tasteful delights, and great wine selections in a livley and social atmosphere!

The Back Bay's top spot for tapas serves up plenty of romantic atmosphere and prime people-watching. – Thanks to a first-class pedigree (same family ownership of Somerville's award-winning Dali) and its central Newbury Street location, Tapeo is a no-brainer city destination for tapas. Diners happily converse in one of two lively dining rooms or, weather permitting, the popular sidewalk patio. After ordering a pitcher of lethal sangria, diners face the difficult task of selecting from the menu's lengthy listing of hot and col... read more
