La Ñapa - Dog friendly patio - Tapas Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

"Weirdness in the Crown" Very mixed review. This could be a good place where there is nothing like it in this neighborhood. But it's not a good weird from the food to the service, I hate being directed to sit anywhere and then scan and ordering and paying from a QR code. Need more personal service or I'm heading for fast food. What's to cheer - [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice decor with plenty of outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - good bacalao fritters What's to jeer - too hipster - bland guacamole - frozen margaritas came first in a typical glass then second round came in a plastic to go cup like the pandemic (we weren't leaving) read more

Very cute and adorably decored, I tried several great dishes here at La Napa. In no particular order: Croquetas De Jamon-Although crispy had no discerbible ham. If this is the yelp check in special, you have to make it a bit more tasty. Be sure to ask which wine you need to purchase in order to receive it. Garlic Shrimp- Small portion for price. 6 medium size shrimp. Nicely prepared not over done. Bread was good this this though. Duck Mole Taco- It was ok. Not the mole you're thinking. Chicarron-One of the best dishes of all I tried. Great portion for pricing. Nicely seasoned and crispy. Loved the accompanying sauce. Lumpian of Lamb- Love this! It was mixture inside and the sweet chili sauce that came with it. Also crispy. Yum. Also on this visit I had a delicious prosecco but, the name escapes me. Service was ok. Not wholly attentive and neither ignoring you. Clearly this place has a following because there were people standing around outside in the rain waiting for their 2 go orders. I'll visit again for the Lumpian of Lamb and Chicarron. SYOY! read more

This is the best spot ever hospitality great! Sophia was our server and she was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe of the place was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]I loved the arepas, such good food all around! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Try their Pabellon Arepa! You will forget your name and lose your mind. It is a masterpiece, chef-d'oeuvre. Insanely delicious. And don't leave it unattended on the table! I am from upstate New York. We have hundreds of Mexican restaurants up there and none of them can make Arepa even close to La Napa's. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. This is one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. I've been here in person and it was just alright. Nothing special. But my partner wanted to order take out and wow are we incredibly disappointed. My pork belly taco totally fell apart as soon as I picked it up because this restaurant uses CHEAP STORE BOUGHT TORTILLAS. The kind that get soggy immediately and everything falls through. For a place charging $6.90 for a single taco, they should invest in using a higher quality brand of tortillas or make their own. The brisket arepa was flavorless. No salt. The meat was shredded all to hell and barely any meat inside the arepa at all. It was $18. Total rip off. The patatas bravas were horrible too. Potatoes were dry and flavorless. They prepared the potatoes incorrectly. This place clearly does not have real cooks working. This is amateur level stuff. You can find MUCH better street food versions of what they're doing and at a fraction of the price. This place is a total rip off. I'm not rich. It means a lot to me when I want to spend extra money on a restaurant. And I'm not expecting to be blown away every time, but I am expecting the food to be edible. But trying to eat their arepa was like putting flavorless slop into my mouth. I'm currently making my own dinner now because we just couldn't stomach their food. We had to throw it in the trash. Awful awful awful. New York has many great restaurants but this ain't one of them. read more

La Ñapa - The PORK BELLY TACO (disgusting) - Tapas Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

While visiting my cousin I came upon this suggestion to grab a bite to eat. Boy did Yelp do me right!!! The food here was AMAZING! Course after course it just kept getting better. What's pretty neat is that you place the order yourself, staff then bring it to the table. Their prices are so reasonable and the place itself has some funky decor which I personally love! So did my cousin. I would absolutely come dine here again, fortunately for my cousin, this is right around her way and they definitely made an impression enough to make a regular out of her. Can't wait to be back! read more

This place transforms ordinary ingredients into something special. Your calendar will soon include regular visits. Restaurant workers added memorable elements to our visit. The cuisine earns top marks. This place deserves repeat visits regardless of wait. read more

Arepas were solid and the passion fruit margarita was a delight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small space but there were some thoughtful touches I appreciated - artful mirror design in the bathroom, custom 3D textured wallpaper by the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] New to me was the QR system which allows you to have multiple parties on the same order but easily split the bill. Maybe I've been under a rock, but this was the first time I used this system and it made the process of meeting up with a friend pretty easy when it came time to settle the tab. read more

Overpriced, glorified take-out, pretending to be a sit-down restaurant. Service is basically non-existing as you still order & pay in the takeout app. The menu is large, but the dishes are small and underwhelming for the price tag - with exception of the pork belly, which is much too big for an appetizer and one-dimensional when eaten as only dish. Tacos came in bland tortillas that resembled cardboard with no memorable flavor in the fillings, while the asparagus was 1/3 woody and at $9 for 6 stalks a total rip off. The only dish I really enjoyed were the yucca balls, so one of the stars is for those only. read more

I came here because of the beautiful bright exterior and I saw it on one of my foody apps to try. I ordered the chicken empanadas When the friendly guy came to the counter he told me that they no longer had the orders of 2 and they would make them one big one. I thought the price was a bit steep at $6.50 plus tax, but I was kind of hungry and really excited to try something new. They gave me a buzzer and told me that I would be notified when it was finished being being cooked. They gave me a buzzer and told me that I would be notified when it was finished being being cooked. It took about 10-15 minutes. It was different than any other empanada with a oddly fluffy, crisp shell and finly chopped chicken inside. The green sauce was phenomenal, but the size of this empanada surely did not warrant the $7 price tag. Maybe I'll return for another dish or just drinks. It was very cute. read more

Very pleased that I finally tried this place. The staff was very welcoming, pleasant and quick! I opted to seat inside and I was very comfortable being a solo diner. However there are booths big enough for 4. They also have outside especially nice now the weather is better. So let me say I played myself for not coming sooner. Orange wine was tasty with my meal. I order crispy pork belly which was excellent. Super crispy and succulent at the same damn time. The garlic shrimp with carbs was excellent!! It did get a delicious veggie asparagus and parm great!! read more

Walked in around 1:30 only an hour after opening and they were out of French fries which seemed weird to me. Very cute exterior and a good amount of outdoor seating Perfect for people watching. The arepas were good and filling. The chicken empanada has curry in it which threw me off but wasn't bad. read more

La Ñapa - Tapas Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Out door only with four tables for two. This bathroom is clean. Parking isn't different: there is an UPS store and as we ate, the cars parked and left in front of the eatery. We misread the info but opted to stay. The traffic in this part of Brooklyn is terrible: 3 miles needed 45 minutes. I haven't seen this in years. This is a wine bar, probably no sit down before the pandemic and now only out door. The wine is by the bottle or cans. Food is pretty good. I particularly liked the goat cheese balls. Although it's not likely that I'll return but I did enjoy the experience. read more

The carne machada (shredded beef) arepa w/green sauce was bomb! Unfortunately everything else wasn't. The fries were bottom tier and got served a kid size coke (7.5oz) for $3 and no cup of ice in crown heights, Brooklyn of all places. You can only order off an app (no menu) takes away local restaurant feeling. read more

Stellar stellar stellar place, so glad we came here to try. It wasn't very busy on a Saturday afternoon, and everything about this place was well curated -- the dinnerware was all hand-selected by the owner, and such small touches really makes you feel positive. We definitely ordered too much, but had fault with very little here -- the vermouth tasting was amazing and elevated, the tapas were superb (tomatoe bread, yuca balls and croquettas de jamon; the egg rolls were meh), and the arepas were out of this world (the seafood one and the signature beef brisket were phenomenal). We're definitely coming back, but with the knowledge that the food comes out a bit slow, so just be forewarned. read more

Very good tapas! My favorite arepa in the area. I would skip the octopus- it's very rubbery and tasteless. In my opinion, it seemed boiled- there was not texture and was drowned in olive oil. read more

I'm still not 100% sure how to describe the menu here, but I love tapas, and the pork belly at La Ñapa is one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. Don't skip out on the duck rolls either. read more

Hey there, This was my second dining experience at this spot. Since my last visit they revamped the decor and it's very cramped and cluttered with so much seating. I guess they are trying to get the most for their money. Unfortunate for the diner. Their service system is the QR code to order and pay for your food through the website. Hence little or to no contact with wait staff. A little impersonal for me. The food was average. I'd just order take out in the future and honestly there are plenty of better choices now so I can pass on this spot. The 3 stars were for the pleasant wait staff.Nothing worth taking pics of. read more

I came to this place last night and it was quite delicious. This place is very small and the seating is limited. I did call and they do not take reservations. We got there and there were only seats at the bar. When someone moved we asked for their table, this seating was better. They do not have menus; they have a QR code which lets you order online. The waiter told us we could order with him as well. We ordered online and when you check in you receive free croquettes. The ham croquettes were ok; the garlic sauce was quite delicious. I ordered a passion fruit frozen margarita and a pork arepa. The margarita was good and I enjoyed it very much. The pork arepa was so delicious; the pork was flavorful and juicy; the sauce in the arepa was the perfect combination because it was a citrus flavored sauce. The arepa itself was well made; an outer crust with a soft inside and the cheese melted. The food is fresh and you can tell they make it the moment you order it. I really enjoyed this place, I would say order the arepa. I do think the menu should be edited a bit. The service was a bit slow but I understand because it was busy and there were only two waiters. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute spot with really tasty food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The arepas are super delicious and filling--I'd recommend both the chicken and mushroom ones. The Pan con Tomate is definitely a favorite, and the mushroom taco is another great choice. read more

La Ñapa is a small, charming neighborhood spot. While it had promise on paper, unfortunately it did not deliver in person in such a way that justified the inflated prices. I had two shrimp tacos, one mushroom taco, the asparagus and the spinach. The tacos were small and bland. There are better tacos to be found in Brooklyn especially at such high prices. Try Miti Miti instead for better value and more pizazz. The spinach was decent, though it was made edible only by the included pine nuts and garbanzo beans. The asparagus was inedible. It was not fully cooked and for my teeth, too tough to eat. I have had asparagus prepared many ways over the years, and this is the only time it was too raw to consume. Finally, while the online ordering system was efficient and novel, it was also deeply impersonal. We wondered who we were supposed to tip. The overall feeling was cold and removed. I wished for somebody to just walk up and have a quick conversation. For $80, I think we deserved that. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute find![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's more of a to go vibe but they have some outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was pleasantly surprised at the extensive menu, it was hard narrowing down options as there was much I wanted to try. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the pabellon and the crab croquettes, both were absolutely delicious. Will be back again to try other offerings! read more

I'm wondering if I came on a bad day or just tried 2 bad items but I was VERY pleased with the shredded hanger steak arepa and VERY disappointed with the shrimp taco and passion fruit margarita. While the arepa was incredibly delicious (can't wait to try another one), I threw away the margarita after a couple of sips. It tasted like pure syrup and icy juice :/. Somewhere in between those 2 extremes were the red sangria and the shrimp taco. Both were mild in flavor and I wish they didn't tarnish my experience here. I may return to try other arepas but will certainly pass on everything else going forward. read more

I came here with a friend for dinner and the place was cool. The place was kind of empty so were able to get a seat very quickly. We ordered various is tapas, and everything was really good. We ended up getting a freee tapas because I checked in via yelp, however we couldn't pick the tapa we wanted... they chose. The sangria and Merlot were really good! The service was great, they accommodated us and very attentive. The only thing that really bothered me was the odor of the establishment; when you first enter there's a smell and it sticks on your clothes. I ended up coming home smelling like the restaurant. Food , service and drinks were great thou. I wish happy hour was 5-7 instead of 3-6. read more

We ordered delivery and got the Yuka Balls, Picadillo Rolls, and several tacos (Al Pastor, Shrimp, Chicken, Carnitas). The Yuka Balls and Rolls were, for lack of a better term, disgusting, and didn't come with the sauces they were supposed to. The tacos were completely tossed up, mashed together (see photo), as if shaken in a cocktail mixer - no doubt as a result of being packed in a way that's unsuitable for transport. Whatever we could fork together tasted fine, even though it was unidentifiable. There was barely any meat to be found, though. The shrimp taco tasted so fishy and rank that I wasn't sure it's even edible. I would not eat any of this stuff again, even if it were free. read more

Dined-out here last Friday. We were able to take our food to the Pub next door. Really nice curb appeal with the display of their vast wine collection. I could literally stand all day looking over their wines. Aside from two bottles of wine, we also ordered their house lemonade and margarita. Their Venezuelan tapas style menu seemed very different and intriguing. We ordered four tacos, spinach appetizer and two arepas. Out of all the tacos, the duck pastor really really stood out. Also liked the beef and chicken. My least favorite was the mushroom. Disclaimer, their arepas are HUGE. Like the size of my head. Thick, dripping with garlic aioli and queso, rich in flavor. The two of us got full from half of one arepa. I took the rest home and got 2 lunches out of it. The catalina (spinach) appetizer was a good respite from all the fried dough that we had been eating. Very tasty too! I would come back to try the yucca balls and the lamb chops. Really wished they had some outdoor dining situation going. They do have the sidewalk space for it too. In the meantime, will be back for more wine and tapas. read more

- no dine in - lines can be long - four ppl literally appeared in line in the short time it took me to peruse the menu - forks, napkins, straws not provided without request - arepas are huge two people can eat one, easily - good spinach (catalana) - duck pastor was the best taco - friend, friendly service with nice suggestions read more

This spot was great! I loved the convenience of ordering and paying through a QR code, but there was still someone around for anything I needed. The Pork Arepa is a must-try. I also had a chicken taco and dumplings--both were delicious. The white sangria was nicely balanced, not too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small place with mostly counter seating and a few tables, plus some decent outdoor seating for warmer days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back! read more
