    Inside
    Jody M.

    We were out and about on a Sunday a few weeks ago. First stop was lunch at The Po Boy Shop (see my review). We're heading down Ponce and decided to stop for a beer or two. I love the decor and the vibe. It's a very small space but what they've done makes it feel bigger. We didn't eat but everyone's food looked delicious. There were people at different tables playing games. Like i said a good vibe. We will be back for the food soon.

    Muffaletta
    Gene G.

    Motorboat has a cute and cozy theme. Even though the inside suggest more of a seafood menu, there really isn't any seafood. The decor screams shrimp baskets, feels like more of a deli menu. I was craving a muffuletta, and this place had them. The sandwich is big enough to split between two people. We sat at the bar and the food came pretty fast. We also got the reuben which we preferred out of the two sandwiches. It was pretty dead when we went on a Thursday around 7. Bottom line, pretty casual menu and spot. Decent atmosphere, worth going for a visit especially with their unique menu. I think anyone could find something they would like.

    Chicken salad sandwich with tots
    Natalie A.

    My husband and I have been to Motorboat three times in the last month. Can you tell we like lunchtime sandwiches? I first had the chicken salad sandwich with tots. It was delicious and probably the best chicken salad sandwich I've ever eaten! We sat at the bar and watched the ever-changing, binge-able TV show playing there. The second time we came, I had the Chicago beef sandwich. I didn't like this sandwich, and I think the chef made me the roast beef sandwich as it didn't have the au jus and looked the same as another person's sandwich at the end of the bar who had ordered the roast beef. My sandwich was too salty, and the cheese was not melted either. However, we persevered and came back a 3rd time for the meal I've most coveted since seeing their menu - the African Nut Stew. It's a play on the Ghanaian classic chicken and peanut butter stew. The stew was warm and enveloping, like a hug from a relative you haven't seen in years. The peanuts were crunchy, and the smell was delicious. It came with some breadsticks so you didn't miss broth at the bowl's bottom. On top of their sandwiches, Motorboat makes delicious cookies and serves reasonably priced beers. We will, of course, be back!

    Salad with house made dressing, loaded tots, meatloaf special
    Karri S.

    We just moved to O4W and walked here for an early dinner. The guy behind the bar is an absolute gem and despite it being a bit busy, kept everything going. They have lots of sandwich options but also really great non bar food you aren't expecting like African peanut soup and spaghetti. We'll definitely be back. We had the loaded tots and my husband had the meatloaf special. The burgers coming out of the kitchen also looked really good. A great spot for some drinks and bite.

    Fish Sandwich
    Andy T.

    New favorite sandwich spot in town. Plenty of sandwich styles to choose from. I tried the fish sandwich and the portion sizes was huge. Will definitely come back. Nice neighborhood vibe and ample parking up front.

    Hi guys! This place is so cute. Saw it a couple weeks ago and was finally able to pop in and check it out. I believe it is fairly new so they had an updated menu, I ordered a tuna melt and sloppy Joe. Both Sandwiches were so delicious, prices were also great for what you receive. I definitely will be back to try their other dishes. Service was great for the short time I stayed in the establishment. They have some games to play and their bat area is nicely decorated. 5/5 stars :) I recommend this place.

The covered patio is beautiful and much quieter than the rest of the restaurant. This is a fusion spot with mostly Spanish and Latin American influences.

It's a great place to hang out for the day, and Bar.bacoa is a good choice if you have 3 people or less in your party. The group size is about maximizing the value you get here. The portion sizes are small for tapas. The paella was $24 but would be hard-pressed to feed just two people. The ham and cheese empanadas were $12 and came with two empanadas. These rates aren't bad for tapas if your group is small, but any group larger than 3 is going to start losing on the value-to-price ratio. When it comes to the tacos, they're $6 each for tacos that are not new or outstanding, so I would lean on the tapas instead.

The location was VERY busy, almost difficult to walk through with the amount of people standing around waiting to get sat, but just wish it would have been a quicker turnaround time, especially with the reservation being booked. Now onto the good! Our server and server assistant Mitch were both lovely. Mitch came by frequently to take our order and check up on us. The food and drinks were INCREDIBLE! We got the some tapas, including potatoes, croquettes, empanadas, tomatoes and meatballs and everything was top tier. Quite an affordable night out if you end up sharing a bunch of dishes. The white sangria was also amazing. Very floral but in a not over powering way. We ended up choosing street parking a street down and were able to walk right to the restaurant with no issues. Would definitely love to give this place another try as it seems very promising but maybe on a less busy night.

The Christmas pop-up just began and we were there right soon after they opened their doors ob Tuesday night. If going here doesn't get you in the Christmas festivities mood I don't know what will. The place is over-decorated and that is the point. It is all things Christmas and is warm, comfortable, and an overload for the senses. Lights, decorations, artwork, Christmas movies on their big screen, Christmas music on their speakers all contribute to a fun, lively environment. And, of course, there is also a Christmas-themed drink and tapas menu. Drinks are served in various Christmas glasses and mugs, all of which you can buy to take home if you'd like. They also have a seasonal line-up of craft beer. My wife had a Christmapolitan and I had the Yippie Ki Yay, both were delicious and packed a punch. For food we ordered: Donner & Blitzen (charcuterie board) - simple, yet great tasting meats & veggies Frosty Fries (fries w/warm beer cheese) - even though this was a good amount of fries, we had wished that we ordered two of these because they were that incredibly tasty. The beer cheese is killer with these hand-cut parmesan fries! Felix Navidad (brisket tacos) - these were flavorful, but they were only two small tacos for $11; for the money, I would definitely get something else next time. Gingerbread & Friends (cookies) - we got these for dessert, but would suggest a pass on them as they are just store-bought little cookies that you can ice and add sprinkles. This was a fun, memorable experience and anyone who enjoys the magic of Christmas should find their way to Tapa Tapa before the Christmas pop-up ends after the holidays.

What should have been a 30-second transaction turned into one of the strangest retail experiences I've had in a long time. The cashier, Sophia, simply refused to complete the sale. Instead, she remained standing at the register while other paying customers waited in line until a manager eventually stepped in and finished the transaction. Let that sink in: a cashier holding up the line and refusing to ring up a customer for no legitimate reason until a manager had to intervene. If the owners care to review their camera footage from that time, they'll see the entire interaction. At no point was I rude, disruptive, or inappropriate. The escalation came entirely from the employee. What stood out most was the willingness to create a scene and delay multiple customers over what appeared to be a personal reaction rather than any store policy or legitimate issue. Retail is not complicated: ring up the customer, be reasonably polite, and keep the line moving. Apparently that was too much to ask here. I'm not looking for compensation and I'm not interested in arguing about it. But it was such an unnecessarily unpleasant interaction that I felt it was worth documenting. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this location.
