    A great spot for a small group to enjoy many tasty dishes. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Cocktails and dessert were tasty as well. Will return again to try some different dishes.

    Taberna Tapas is a fantastic spot with a great location and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The full bar is well-stocked, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations, including a local gin martini that was spot-on. The menu is easy to navigate, featuring a broad variety of dishes, most of which are genuinely shareable tapas. The food arrived as it was ready, ensuring everything was fresh and hot. The Estrella beer on tap was a nice touch, and the spare ribs and tomato on toast stood out as absolute favorites. If you’re looking for a laid-back yet high-quality tapas experience, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    We loved our pre concert dinner at Taberna Tapas and the 5star service Spiro, our server, provided! The selection of tapas was amazing, the food all delicious, and the wine list superb! We’ll return soon to this affordable, cozy restaurant.

    The service was lovely at the bar of Taberna. The gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas were mediocre and not very authentic in taste. I lived in Spain for years and was disappointed in the food.
