Went here on a date for the happy hour menu and was not disappointed. Our favorite was the Huevo Roto ($5), which is a fried egg over salty, crunchy fries-- so good that we ended up ordering another. The Manchego y Jamon is good and great for the happy hour price ($2); I personally would skip the Patatas Alioli ($2), which is like a potato salad, but I don't really love potatoes all that much. The Mini Chorizo a La Cidra were great ($5), and we used the extra cider to dip the fries in...yum! The Coca Mini was good for the price ($5)-- a very small pizza with BBQ beef and parmesan. All of the above are happy hour prices and only available between 5-7 at the bar. The best part was that I had the best drink of my recent life, Delta Dawn, with bourbon, lemon, and peach. I wanted to order another but a) we didn't have time and b) it wasn't large for the price. Excited to go back! read more

Underrated affordable tapas in a quiet stretch of the South End. Recently came back after a first visit about 4 years ago and the memory did not disappoint. We shared the tortilla espanola, patatas bravas, goat cheese salad, spinach and artichoke empanadas, Brussels sprouts, jamon croquettes, and stuffed trout. Favorites were the empanadas, tortilla and goat cheese. The Brussels were a little soggy. Wine selection was impressive and very reasonably priced. For dessert we shared the olive oil chocolate mousse. My husband loved it but I wish it had a stronger chocolate flavor. read more

I tried Estragon yesterday evening for dinner! My friends and I had an assortment of tapas: Patatas Bravas (potatoes with salsa), Esparragos Con Romesco (grilled asparagus), Empanadlas de Verduras (spinach and artichoke turnovers), Pulpo La Gallega (grilled octopus), Pincho de Pollo (chicken skewers), and the croquetas de jamon! We also had a pitcher of the hibiscus margarita. My favorites were the octopus which was grilled nicely, potatoes which were perfectly crispy with a generous drizzle of the salsa sauce , and chicken skewers which tasted great with a squeeze of lemon juice. Max and Bryan provided great service. Oh and the ambiance is really nice, you can get some get design tips and even book recommendations here read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Estragon before. I've been coming to this gem for years. Sahil and Tony on the bar make you feel like you are at home -- if your home was filled with amazing tapas (paella is also outrageously good) and a fully stocked bar with a creative drink menu. Every Monday night I "work late" and come to Estragon for 2 items off their tapas menu and 2(ish) grapefruit gimlets. This is also a great meeting spot no matter where in Boston you are -- the bar is typically full, but you can always get a seat with no more than a short wait in the main dining room. The ambiance is spot on as well. Its a fun quirky feel and I've gone here with a wide range of folks from my mom to client prospects. It's also a favorite for members of my team as we come here to celebrate wins or commiserate on the week. TLDR: Come here and embrace the atmosphere, be amazed by the food and prices, dabble in delicious drinks, and appreciate the best bar service in Boston I've ever had. BONUS: There is always ample parking right out front too. read more

Came here during Dining Out Week. It's such a cool and inviting space. It has a retro European vibe with old French and Spanish posters scattered around the restaurant and a bookshelf in one corner. The Dining Out menu let you choose a starter, two main tapas and a dessert. One thing my friends and I realized is not every menu item are the same portion size. I felt I got less food overall compared to some of my friends. My favorite was the meatballs. The fig old fashioned cocktail I got was okay. I couldn't really taste any fig. I mostly tasted the rye whiskey and they served it with crushed ice. If a place does that they've already gone down the wrong path. Cracking open a cocktail book might help. The food was good but I might wait awhile before heading back. read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. Trying to be a Barcelona copy cat, but without the vibes and/or the flavors. The cocktails are however appropriately spun up! read more

My friends made a reservation here for a Friday evening - when we first arrived it wasn't crowded, but became a bit as time went on. My boyfriend got the urban myth mojito and our friend got the dada spritz (as recommended by our waiter) - both enjoyed their drinks. I tasted both and thought they were really yummy. We split a bunch of tapas - patatas bravas, alcachofa, pista manchego, carrillada, crab filled pepper special, and paella mixta. Everything tasted great and service was amazing. I definitely recommend!! read more

SO mediocre, especially for the price! You're better off going to Barcelona wine bar (even though it's a chain). Honestly didn't enjoy anything and I ordered everything based on what was recommended by other diners in Yelp.

This was such a good dinner!!! First of all our waiter was so knowledgeable and gave us all the best recommendations. We started with a nice bottle of Spanish red which was delicious. Not too expensive either! Our first dish was the scallops. And omg. They were cooked perfectly and the sauce it was in might have been my favorite thing ever. We then had the calamari (cooked perfectly and not chewy) and two of the toasts... one with skirt steak and one with pulled beef. They were both so good. We also mixed in a veggie with the goat cheese arugula salad with pomegranates and walnuts. That was okay! We also had the lamb sliders. They were good but a little dry. I felt like they needed a little more of the chutney on them. We had the stuffed peppers with crab meat in them. So good... so unfortunate this was a special because it would do great on the menu! We finished with the bbq flatbread. There was a lot there. The portions are huge for tapas. Every time something came we were surprised at how much we got. We got the churros for a birthday surprise and the waiter brought us over some shots to celebrate the birthday! It was so nice. The vibes were immaculate and the decor was very nice. This is a great spot and I could not recommend it more. read more

Estragon's $1 bar tapas are no longer, but they've been replaced by a "Tapas Blitz" menu at the bar, featuring $1, $3, & $5 tapas, Mondays - Thursday, from 5pm - 7pm. On my April visit, I found myself a spot at the bar beside a local frequenter of the establishment, who proclaimed with certainty that this was the best Spanish restaurant in Boston. After perusing the single sided Blitz menu, I settled on: . GARBANZOS FRITOS $1 Blitz/$5 normal price Crispy Paprika Chickpeas . COLES DE BRUSELAS $3/$9 Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Chorizo, Golden Raisins . Torreznos $3 (not listed on the regular menu) Chrispy Fried Pork Belly, Salsa Picante . PULPITO A LA PARRILLA $5/$11 Marinated, Grilled Baby Octopus Later on adding an additional bite: . QUESO DE CABRA $1/$14 for 4 Warm Goat Cheese & Tomato on Toast The first to arrive was the pork belly, while the next three was delivered in one fell swoop. So the fried bits of pork with the squiggle of red sauce had my full initial attention. The crisp skin and chewy meat and fat were wonderful, but the sauce was a bit too much for me, so I wiped some off. Perhaps I'd ask for the sauce on the side in the future. The octopus were three meaty whole big headed leggy beauties to an order, covered with a light crisp. The chickpeas light crisp balls that I popped into my mouth one at a time. And the brussels sprouts numbered nine tender halves tossed with sweet and savory in the raisins and chorizo bits. As the bulk of my order were fried, I decided it might be a good idea to add one of their $1 toasts, and went with the goat cheese and tomato which was served warm. Having enjoyed their pintxos in the past in their dining room, I was a bit surprised at the petite object which was presented before me. It was perhaps 2 bites at most, though the crisp bread contrasted well with the soft and savory spread. Based on a review of the Yelp photos, I suspect that the portions of the rest of the happy hour offerings may have also been shrunk some, with 7 octopus vs the 3 I received, a larger count of brussels sprouts, and the chickpeas were in a brown dish vs the smaller white dish mine were served in. I'm a bit bummed, but ultimately a lighter portion for a smaller price enabled me to try more things. And to me, variety is the spice of life! On my next visit, I'll probably try a few other items such as the Croquetas de Jamon, the fried artichoke hearts, and chicken empanadas. Note: Since my last visit several years ago, they have installed toilet paper holders in their ladies' room. read more

Came here because I purchased a Groupon. Estragon upon arrival had promise. The restaurant was buzzing- although front service was staggering and we were not seated immediately even though we had a reservation. However, our experience and the food here was mediocre. We ordered the following: stuffed dates (absolutely delicious), octopus (terrible and borderline disgusting- not only was the octopus chewy but it tasted like burnt oil), stuffed fish (delicious), lamb chops with cauliflower mash (lamb chops were delicious and the mash was terrible and tasteless like baby food), empanadas (terrible-the crust was not flaky at all. It was so hard and seemed over cooked.), and ham and cheese croquettes (terrible-all bread and no cheese or ham). To add to the food being mediocre, the servers became confused and started parading our stuffed fish across the restaurant, unsure of who's table to deliver it to. That little stunt put a bad taste in our mouth and we opted out of indulging in dessert. We will definitely not be back here. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! This is my favorite place to go to in the South End. Why you ask? 1. Great location (especially for people working at BMC or BU Med campus) 2. The ambiance, the decor (Bookshelves full of books and random golden phoenix statues), and the weird movies that they play on their TV (a bird documentary has been on few times when I've bee there) 3. Great authentic tapas and amazing Paella! 4. Tapas happy hour! ($1, $3, $5 tapas? What more do you want?) 5. Great selection of beers, mixed drinks, delicious Sangria from an interesting spherical sangria machine 6. Great great great service :) 7. It's not as busy as some of the other tapas bars (also has more welcoming feeling in general) When you get there make sure to try out their Fig Old-Fashioned, it is one of the best drinks I've had in the city. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Estragon. We came for a friend's birthday and everything was excellent from the service to the food to the decor and feel of the place. I especially loved the paella Leon which was made with chicken, chorizo, pork belly and beef shank as well as the tortilla espanola (a Spanish omelet w/ potatoes) and the xocolata (olive oil chocolate mousse, Maldon Salt). Everything we had to eat though was delicious. Those items I mentioned were my particular favorites from the meal. read more

For once I actually agree with the overall yelp review for a restaurant: this place absolutely deserves 3.5 stars...but I can't give it that rating so I will be generious because I am in a good mood and round up. But also, this place has a great bar so its a great place to kick it after work or something... Going straight to the point: the thing about this place is that it is very inconsistent (in terms of food). Some of the tapas are EXCELLENT five star rating dishes, some of them are three star dishes, and some are just wow, why do you serve that worthy. Some helpful food selections: five star worthy dishes are the steak with bleu cheese sauce, the scallops (which were exceptional, I'm not sure if we got lucky with that one). Some 3.5 star dishes: fried artichokes, ox tail, brussel sprouts. All in all, I think this a place definitely worth going to and to try. They have some great dishes to try and share. Just be warned though that everything you get may or may not be great. read more

Overpriced. Over hyped. Small portions. No music- not even in the background (at least the night I was there). I had a hamburger. It was ok. The onions were the best part. My friend had the octopus. She liked it. We were a party of 10. None of us LOVED our meals. It was mediocre at best. Wompppppp. Won't be going back. Also I should add- as a fellow Dominican, I didn't feel like I was at a Latin restaurant AT ALL. The vibes are mega white/hipster...not Mexican. read more

When you think tapas, you automatically go to Toro or Barcelona and anticipate a 1-2 hour wait. But Estragon is overlooked in the South End. Situated in a quiet corner on Harrison, there is never a huge wait or any wait. The bar is generally open and they have a private room for function. So why not the crowd? The decor is funky and nothing to rave about. But it's more a old school Tapas restaurants and there isn't really any sex appeal here. But come for the Happy Hour and some Paella. Pros: 1) $1-$7 HH Tapas from 5-7pm, maybe even earlier. Get the Gambas and the $1 Toast. The brussels sprouts are good and past on the Fried Chicken Peas 2) Pitchers of Sangria (Do This) 3) Inexpensive Bottles of Wine- especially when we have all the Puritan Liquor Laws in Boston Cons: 1) Only 2 tables for outdoors seatings 2) Only 1 Bartender, but since they are not busy and It's not a big deal. So - give this local tapas restaurant a try and pass on Barcelona and Toro. I mean I love those restaurants but I'm going to start venturing more and more to all that South End has to offer. read more

Having been to toro and Barcelona, I had to admit that the paella in estragon is closest to that I had in Spain. Very nice ambiance, exceptional service and solid four stars food. Sangria was not so sangria-y.It tasted like a watered down wine without the aroma/taste of fruits. The cava & apricot drink was excellent. Highly recommended. We opted for the seafood paella; delicious rice with soccarat bottom. The amount of seafood and rice was generous and it also came with two big pieces of meat. However the seafood was bland, which was okay as good rice was what I was looking for. Pulpo a la gallega was good, but where's the paprika on top?I thought paprika is the most ingredient in making a gallega but apparently not in the case in estragon. Nevertheless the dish was great. I would definitely return for drinks and tapas and paella!! read more

We went to Estrogen for the Dine Out Boston Dinner menu. The Dine Out Boston Dinner is $41 per person, which is 3 courses, consisting of 4 tapas. A major pro is the variety of tapas (28 different tapas) on the Dine Out Boston menu. My husband and I had: First Course: Chorizos braised in hard cider - 5/5 for Taste Serrano ham croquets - 5/5 Second Course: Sautéed Garlic Shrimp: 4/5 (The Shrimp was a nice size, however the sauce was not as garlicky as we would have liked). Sautéed cod fillet, saffron-albarino cream: 5/5 (The fish was perfectly cooked and delicious!) Braised pork cheeks, rioja jus: 4/5 (The pork cheeks were very tender, however it was a bit under seasoned) Beef meatballs, herbed brandy cream: 4/5 (The meatballs were a bit bland.) Third Course: Churros - 4/5 (Hot and crunchy with chocolate sauce for dipping. Good that it was not overly sweet. The texture of the churros were a bit denser than we would have liked.) Tarta (Spanish almond cake, vanilla ice cream) - 5/5 I had the Delta Dawn cocktail. It was delicious and strong! If you like strong drinks, this cocktail might be for you. read more

I hovered between a three and a four star, because this restaurant was good, but not great. And I'm a big big big fan of salt, but they really use quite a lot of salt in their food... The meatballs are almost too salty to eat -I was especially looking forward to dipping my crusty bread into the creamy meatball sauce, but it was almost as though the sauce is comprised of just cream and beef bouillon cubes. Definitely could not even eat the sauce. The cocktails were good, service was friendly and it's in a nice location. I might go back and give it another try, but looking at some of the other dishes, they didn't seem to be plated it very beautifully and to me that just speaks of hired help in the kitchen that don't really care all that much... Good concept, good menu, probably worth one more try... read more

Great food! Great ambiance and friendly service . The food was interesting and the menu has good veg options

Estragon was lovely! I went with family, as group of 5, of whom 3 were vegetarian. The menu was not only very vegetarian friendly, but well-priced! The cocktails were interesting and accompanied the food nicely. Staff and service were great. Highlights included the Pimientos Shishitos, Esparrragos a la Parrilla y Romesco (asparagus), Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp) , Patatas Bravas (potatoes), and Empanadillas de Verduras (artichoke, spinach, and cheese) . The Garbanzos Fritos (chickpeas) needed a sprinkle of salt, but they were happy to provide salt and pepper, when asked. They also provided some fantastic bread (in paper bags, as others have mentioned, and I have no good explanation for this) that sopped up any sauce. Many compare this to Toro, which I love and is excellent. But I thought this had not only more, but better vegetarian options, so please keep that in mind, if that's important to you. read more

As a Spanish teacher & having lived in Spain, I feel qualified to review this Spanish/tapas restaurant. We often go to Barcelona (restaurant) because it's closer and we enjoy it a lot. I have to say...Estragon rivals Barcelona (again, which we love). The sangria at Estragon was OUTSTANDING! Yeah, maybe a little fresh fruit & a wooden spoon would make it feel more authentic...but the authentic taste is definitely there! I loved every one of the tapas we tried, including the tortilla española (which is served cold traditionally so if you don't like it cold ask them to heat it up). The bass is to die for (ask for it a little undercooked). We also tried the crabmeat stuffed peppers. These you will only find in the Basque region of Spain, so they're a special treat!! And the chef often comes out and talks to the crowd. A little bit smaller than the other tapas places in town...but I will definitely go here more often. My suggestion: TRY IT!! You won't be disappointed. By the way, the chef/owner is from Spain. A MUST TRY! read more

This place was amazing! We got there around 6 and they were already booked for the evening but the host said me and my three friends could sit at the bar for full service. We noticed that one of their couches/lounge areas was open and asked if that was part of the bar/if we could sit there. We were told yes until 8pm since they had a reservation - 10 minutes later the host came over and told us he had moved some things around for us and we could have the table for the rest of the night! Amazing service and to top it off their tapas and drinks were great - felt like I was back in Barcelona. Thanks for making our evening great! read more

Pure deliciousness. Like legit Spanish tapas as if you were along el Parque del Retiro in Madrid. Whether eating inside or out on their patio the service is great & friendly. I think their food is super tasty, really well done. It may be on the pricey side but what can you do. It's nice to have actual veg*n options which are also well stated on the menu. I thought the espinacas were amazing as well as the esparragos, the veggie empanadas were a bit overdone though. I would say their sangria needs more fruit though aside from limes & lemons. They have lovely cocktails worth checking out. Do not miss out on dessert either, totally worth getting the chocolate mousse. read more

Muy bien. Muy impresionante. Muy auténtico. There we go. I learnt a new Spanish word or two. But it's all about the food. Simple yet very well executed. Good-Food. And a job so very well done. Estragon! Food - 5 stars Between the 2 of us, we decided upon the 4 course meal. So happy we did. Can write pages, but here is the summary in the order we got each course (pics attached - had to) 1. Croquettes: simple, full of flavors, of every ingredient promised. 2. Steak on toast: very well executed. Spot on. 3. Beef cheeks: BEST dish I have had in a long long long time! One word. Heavenly. Wish this was the last course before dessert. But all good. 4. Octopus: great way to cook and present. Not chewy at all. The Right texture. 5. Mussels: the broth was something else. Tip - bread, dip, enjoy. 6. Fried oysters: The Kale, was, the trick. I look at Kale differently now. Magic! 7. Peach: again, they presented art on a small plate. My stomach - in bliss. 8. Bread pudding: it had salt. Love salty desserts. Used jus from peach plate for intelligent dipping. Me - smarter at the end of my meal! Ambiance - 5 stars Very well designed. The place was packed but noise was distributed. Every table was lost in it's own story (as should be the case). Great mix of modern yet eclectic. Bar looked great too. Sort of Speak easy vibe. Impressed. Service - 5 stars Our waiter was Brilliant. Very quick. Courses came out at precise moments. Couldn't be better. The staff kept the place in tact. Way to run a restaurant. Value - 5 stars An overall - excellent - dining experience. Almost took me back to Barcelona. Can't add a word no more. read more

This is definitely a different atmosphere than Toro. It still serves decent tapas, but it's a more modernized yet cozy feel. Everything here was good- except the paella. We got the Pringá (Beef Shank, Pork Belly, Chorizo, Bone Marrow) and the Lengua con Mojo Verde (Beef Tongue, Mojo Verde) on toast. Both were astoundingly good. What wasn't good, however, was the Arroz Negro (Black Rice, Squid, Alioli) Paella. I'd hear so many good things about black rice paella, but this was nowhere as good as Toro's. It wasn't very flavorful, was a smaller portion, and didn't have as much seafood. Sure, Estragon had really good Pinxtos (tapas on toast), but for far better paella, head over to Toro. read more

Not sure how many of the good / amazing reviews are real, but I am very shocked by how this restaurant has 4+ stars overall. We had a very mediocre (to say the best) experience from the beginning to the end. Seated 25 minutes after our reservation, not because the table was not ready or the place was very busy, but rather the restaurant slow in "setting the table up". We stood there, and just waited for them to very slowly clean up the table, then taking more time getting utensil etc. - everything was like a slow motion movie as you just stand there and watch in disbelief. We finally sat down, the table was wet, and the waiter just said "oops watch out the table is wet", and simultaneously just put the menu down on the table, without even trying to get a napkin to wipe down the table or anything - am I missing something? Then we sat there, looking through the menu, no water, no bread, nothing for a solid 10 minutes. Then I finally flagged someone down to ask questions about the menu. Food was really overpriced for the quality and quantity unfortunately. $33 Dine out for 1 small appetizer (think a small bowl of shishito peppers, or 2 tiny empanadas), 2 tapas (small chicken skewers, small plate of octopus, a couple of meatballs etc.), and a dessert. The octopus dish was just unreal: it came in a lukewarm (not freshly made) tomato soup, and there was maybe 3 pieces of octopus that was each 1-inch in diameter, paired with potatoes also soaked in the tomato sauce. Then we moved on to having their Paella, but was shocked to find out it is barely warm? Is it all pre-made and just took out of the chicken? The rice was dry, no flavor, and seafood was here and there but not much flavor at all either. When this mediocre dining experience finally comes to an end, and dessert is about to come out, the restaurant staff did not even bother to wipe the table a bit for the crumbs (think rice pieces from the Paella, small shells here and there from the seafood). They took the dessert out, and just straight put that on top of all that oily crumbs!! How is this possible? Bill came to $80+ which was just such money down the drain and really waste of our evening... really wish people had been more honest and I had read the reviews more closely, and then picked somewhere else. I normally don't type up reviews anymore but this one I really feel compelled. read more

The shitty service was probably due to a restaurant-full of people trying to use up their Groupons before the expiration date, but I can't be forgiving because the experience just reminded me of the Savant Project and I still have PTSD nightmares about THAT place. Wait to be seated: 8 minutes. Longest wait time for food: 20 minutes. That would be the pinxtos we tacked on right after placing our orders that didn't come until our bill was about to arrive. Apparently, there was a mix up. Uh huh. Food: This ain't no Toro or Dali. Neither authentic nor creative. Standouts were the Gambas al Ajillo, which while not authentic certainly featured plenty of plump, juicy shrimp; Alcachofas Fritas (fried artichokes with aioli) and Vieiras con Crema de Albariño y Azafrán (seared scallops). Skip the Pan Tumaca con Jamón pintxos...What were they thinking? Soggy tomato bread with far too big cuts of prosciutto. Gross! No. For cocktails, try the Elderflower Sour. But then, I have a weakness for St. Germaine. It makes me swoon. read more
