Tortilla Española
Brianna A.

Loved this place! Such a unique vibe, very cozy, and the food was absolutely incredible. Very accommodating to GF. There's also a bookstore/record store in the back which made the whole experience even more fun. One of my favorite spots in Boston now!

yummy churros
Dennis M.

My friends and I had dinner at Tres Gatos and had a mostly wonderful time. Service was excellent, on time and not too much of a pest. She advised us on what plates to eat. We ordered the mushroom paella and six plates plus dessert. The paella was amazing, prepared perfectly. The plates were superb -- roasted carrots and halibut stood out as fantastic. Dessert was churros and were amazing! Great chocolate mole sauce. Small downside was a homeless man who panhandled every table on the patio. Not sure why staff did not ask him to leave.

Record store day
Swabarna M.

Wait whaaaaa???? How come I have not reviewed my fav bar/cafe/ record store? I am aging maybe!!!! RSD, their yard sales or stopping by in any random days are always bringing smiles. The cocktails are awesome and if u like sweeter drinks then probably ull find it hard not to like anything u order. Trying to make sure I dnt visit them every month.

We saw they just opened for brunch, wanted to try it out, and were not disappointed! The zucchini bread was sweet and delicious, as was the orange marmalade that came with it. I got the Eggs Benedict, and it was fantastic. Granted I don't eat them frequently, but I found the hollandaise really smooth (and buttery) and the eggs poached perfectly. The sprinkle of dill on top cur through the richness, and the bread soaked up all the yellow goodness. We also got the pancakes, which were super buttery with a nice crust. The chili syrup was spicy, so keep that in mind (but you can ask for plain syrup!) Our new favorite brunch spot - we will be back!

" The food here is delicious but pricey " If you're not on a budget and want some delicious fresh food ; this is your spot. The churros are absolutely to die for . I had my share of churros but these are on another level. The other thing I love about this food is you can't taste the grease. Parking is difficult but manageable . This place has been here for awhile . We definitely will be back .

Absolute GEM of a spot in Jamaica Plain. Went here for a birthday dinner with friends and was very happy with the result. We grabbed a handful of tapas -- our favorites were the Papas Fritas and the stuffed dates. The olives and beet salad were also absolutely delicious! We all ordered drinks as well and they were great; my winter sangria was well balanced and I ended up ordering a second before leaving. The atmosphere was relaxed but still semi-formal. It is definitely an intimate space and the restaurant does a good job curating it as such. Our waitresses were really sweet and even brought a little birthday treat out for my partner. The record shop in the back was cute as well. Very happy with our experience here and would definitely recommend a visit!

Tortilla Española
Simone P.

The menu has definitely changed and possibly been shortened. A tapas restaurant without octopus makes me very sad. Unfortunately the service and presentations of certain dishes were not great. The patatas bravas were pretty bland and the two scoops of sauce just looked very underwhelming. The tortilla espanola is served similarly with sauce next to it and was also pretty bland. The grilled prawn definitely stood out and were amazing. I also had the red sangria which left some to be desired but was fine. Overall I was a bit disappointed in the drop in quality.

Table

We went to Tres Gatos for dinner and we sat on the front patio. Luckily, we were able to get the larger table with comfortable chairs. I would have hated to sit at one of the smaller tables with those very uncomfortable chairs. The service was friendly and the food was satisfactory, but there's more to a dining experience than just those aspects. Trust in the recommendations given by your server and value for money are very important. There are a few things that really influence this review. Firstly, the pricing is way too high for what you are getting. I've eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants for less. The busboy asked if we wanted some bread, suggesting it would be good for soaking up the nice flavors from the mussels. Next thing we know, we're charged $8 for two slices of bread--that's outrageous. Having been to Spain three times, I can say that this cuisine is far from authentic and virtually carries no similarities beyond the names on the menu. Here's the kicker: I didn't understand what the 5% charge on my bill was for until after I tipped. When I opened the menu again, I saw they were charging 5% to give their kitchen staff a salary increase. Is this not the most insane thing you have ever heard of? Why am I paying for the kitchen staff's salary increase? You're the owner, you're already charging exorbitant prices--pay your employees properly and don't place this scam on your clients. That is absolutely absurd. Needless to say, I won't be dining here again in any hurry. It's definitely not worth it and very disappointing.

Marinated Mussels
Dominique D.

Great tapas spot! Came here for a date night and it did not disappoint. It's so cool and cozy inside with a bunch of high and low tables. We got seated right next to the kitchen so it was cool to see the food get made. Our server was nice and attentive. All of the food was delicious. We ordered the homemade focaccia, the shishito peppers, the marinated olives and the mussels. For drinks I got the Manhattan. After dinner we walked around the record store and picked up a few pieces. The person running the store was so cool and he played some music for us before we purchased anything. I can't wait to go again!

Chickpea Fritters
Megha U.

2.5/5. I really wanted to like this place. The food is ok, vibe is vibing- but the servers? Not so much. The vibe is chill, really small place. Plenty parking.

Monica A.

Quaint & cozy, tapas restaurant & wine bar. First off, I've been here multiples times, and every time staff has been so friendly. Accommodating, they check in (but not excessively) and they just seem cool without being pretentious - which matches the vibe of the restaurant itself. Food is great quality. Must try's: the churros (best churros I've had on the east coast), the chickpeas fritters (basically fried hummus, so creative) and their garlicky shrimp (juicy and I could put that garlicky sauce on anything and be happy). They've got records hiding in the back too, after you eat, check it out!

Grilled Flat Iron Steak $22 (April 2023). Looks pink but it was well done
Tuli S.

The service is amazing here and so are the vibes! Unfortunately, the food was disappointing compared to our go to toro in Boston. Price wise it's comparable to Boston prices so I was expecting better quality & taste. We had drinks (Pom cat & Sangria) and the Pom cat was excellent, the sangria was fine. Patatas bravas - Good. Highly enjoyed the chutney type red sauce that came with this dish. Steak tartare - Also good, would eat this again but not a must have. Mussels - They were a mix of okay & not fresh so this dish could have been a lot better. We didn't eat all of this because it was a bit icky but also didn't want to send it back Steak - COULD have been amazing. The steak was well done? Why? Assumed medium rare but we were quite wrong! It was so over cooked, so sad. The chimichurri was to die for. I wouldn't come back for the food but would have drinks if I was in the area.

It was 9 of their plates plus a dessert. It was way too much food (they had said it would be). We could have simply picked what we wanted to eat and gotten a reasonable amount of food for a reasonable price. I do not recommend "The Ride". As for the food, we liked the tuna tartare (a tad salty, but still good) and the hamachi crudo. The brussels are noteworthy at Brassica, so it was nice to get them - they are charred with maple and miso and served over white rice. The pork belly was fine. The lobster pasta was so spicy we couldn't eat it. The oxtail was excellent - I loved the flavors of the tomatillo; ironically, we probably would have not ordered that unless it came with The Ride, and I am glad we got to try it. The one thing we had that didn't seem to be in the menu was duck, which was very good. We also were served a pepperoni pizza and caesar salad, neither of which I could eat because I was so full. And the salad was so salty, I wouldn't have been able to eat it anyway. Dessert was tiramisu, which was solid. I'll go back to brassica, but pick my own dishes, and ask for ones that aren't spicy and have less alt in them,. To be fair, most restaurants over salt their food these days, which is so unfortunate.

I've been a loyal fan of haley.henry for years and have recommended this spot to countless friends,…read moreso I was really excited to finally bring a new coworker here. Unfortunately, this most recent visit didn't live up to the high standards I've come to expect. While a few dishes hit the mark, the majority of our order was a letdown: Tinned Octopus: Surprisingly chewy and lacked seasoning. Mushroom Toast: The texture was rubbery, and the flavor was completely drowned out by an aggressive amount of balsamic. Beets: Had a very overwhelming cumin flavor that threw the dish out of balance. Roast Beef Slider: Served cold and felt a bit uninspired. It's such a cute, intimate space, and I've had so many wonderful nights here in the past, but the execution was just off this time around. I'm hoping it was just an off night, but it was definitely disappointing given how much I usually love this place!

The wine selection is excellent and thoughtfully curated -- whites, reds, bubbles, orange wines, and more, so there's truly something for every palate. My friend and I both ordered a red, and it was absolutely perfect. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and she even offered a few samples so we could try before committing to a full glass, which we really appreciated. For food, we shared the hot dog with fried oysters to pair with the wine, and it was surprisingly delicious and a fun, elevated bar bite. Overall, the experience was fantastic -- great wine, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Pricing is definitely on the higher end, with wine glasses around $20 and the hot dog at $14, but the quality and experience justify it. I'd absolutely come back for another wine night.

Watching the kitchen work was half the fun with pizzas and dishes coming together right in front of us. The drinks menu is impressive too, with a large selection of beers on tap plus wine, cocktails, and mocktails. For food, we kept it simple and shared our way through the menu. The Farm Green salad was crisp and fresh, pa perfect starter. Then came the asparagus, roasted in the wood-fired oven and served with a sauce that elevated the whole dish. We finished with one of their wood-fired pizzas, and it did not disappoint. Everything had that subtle smoky char you only get from a real oven. Service was excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for a spot that feels like a neighborhood staple with food that actually delivers, this is it.
