The restaurant is away from tourist neighbor. But I suspect its target customers are tourists…read more They play American pop music all night long which is fine with me, but if you are looking for a local experience, this may not what you expected. Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.

Mesón Andaluz ended up being a really lovely experience for us…read more The service was thoughtful and kind. My mom has a stomach condition and wasn't able to eat much, and the waiter didn't hesitate to prepare simple boiled potatoes for her. It wasn't a big production, just genuine care, which meant a lot to us. He also shared details about their olive oil, which was excellent, and even sent me off with a small wine souvenir. The paella was delicious, and the inside of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming. We left feeling taken care of and happily fed. Would definitely recommend, especially if you value warm service as much as good food. Scallops were delicious.

Watching the chefs in their element preparing the dishes was so cool; for such a tight space, they were a well-oiled machine. Here were my favorites: 1. The tomato soup with egg. So, so simple, with only two main ingredients, but perfectly executed. I'll need to try making this at home with the immersion blender. 2. Pan con tomato with jamón ibérico. I'm sitting here writing this review and crying a little on the inside that we in the States don't have such easy access to quality ingredients to make such a stand-out dish. Grilled bread, tomato spread, and the best jamón I've ever tasted. This was an order we added at the very end and I'm glad we did. 3. The sweet rice pudding with cinnamon ice cream and toasted rice krispies on top. I was almost too full to function by this point but still made room to demolish this dessert. We also got the grouper stew, which was pretty good, but at that point, I had basically gotten the same dish multiple times and this one didn't particularly stand out. Definitely make reservations! There are two seats on the street but I personally wouldn't want to sit there as there's a ton of foot traffic in the area (plus the cars drive pretty close too so you're also breathing in fumes and exhaust). A perfect dinner in Lisbon: oysters at Rosamar one street over and then some tapas and drinks at Tapisco.

The standout--and must-order--dish is the cod with egg (their refined take on the classic bacalhau). It's silky, savory, and perfectly balanced, with the egg adding richness without overpowering the delicate salt cod. Truly iconic and reason alone to come here. Other highlights included the mussels, pan con tomate with jamón ibérico, and the seafood rice, which is deeply flavorful and ideal for sharing. Every plate arrived beautifully presented and thoughtfully seasoned. The space is chic and energetic with an open-kitchen vibe. Service was polished and knowledgeable, though it gets busy fast--reservations are essential even for a Sunday night. Tapisco is ideal for a stylish night out, a special dinner, or anyone wanting to experience modern Portuguese cuisine done right. Memorable and crave-worthy.

We came here for dinner and opted for the prix fixe menu…read more The prix fixe is a good option if you're planning on having wine and/or dessert. At the waitress's recommendation, we had white wine with the first main dish (salmon) and red with the second (steak). Bottled water is also included in the price. Two appetizers, two mains, a dessert, two wines, water, and a coffee all for 22€. Hard to beat! Degusto plate, main courses, and desserts are all properly portioned and well-prepared. The tomato and mozzarella salad didn't really stand out nor did the three butters (which were packaged items) or the bread. The kitchen and waitress do a really good job on timing, which is always my main pet peeve with these multi-course menus. The amount of time between each course was perfect, especially between the first main and the second as we were also switching from white to red wine. The waitress is awesome. She manages the small dining room by herself with just the right amount of attention to each table. She also speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish all fluently. The space is small, and the restaurant easy to miss. However, both of those add to the less-touristic charm of this place. If you're in Lisbon, definitely worth making a stop here.
