This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Boca Raton. It's really hard to decide what to order because everything is so delicious. Very nice servers as well and atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

Patio Tapas and Beer - They do not honor what they offer - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Just moved to Boca and couldn't pick a better first meal. This place took me right back to my Barcelona trip, very authentic food. Got lucky it was happy hour but this meal was worth every penny. So many good options and I didn't want it to stop. The duck tapas might be one of the best things I ever ate. Can't wait to try it in a whole sandwich. I plan on coming back often and trying the rest of their menu read more

Love everything about this place. Always great friendly service. Tapas are fantastic... Live music on the weekends always great.

We have been walking by this place for years and finally tried it. It was just like being in Barcelona. Tapas style. Octopus and arugula salad was great. Churrasco and chorizo was perfect. We loved the sparkling sangria. Music was Spanish and authentic. Raspberry sorbet was an excellent end to a great experience read more

Ambience: Nice covered outdoor seatings. There was live music Friday evening. A bit too loud. Service: Very friendly and attentive wait staff Food: In general food was good The highlight was Lamb Bocadillos, Duck and churrasco bocadillos, and pulpo a la gallega were also good. read more

This was my second visit to Patio...once was during a Saturday afternoon, and then I returned again on a Friday night. What's great about Patio- 1. I love that most of the seating is outside...I have a hard time sitting inside the AC when the weather is beautiful. 2. The food is excellent. My husband had the Churrasco...super tender and flavorful! I had the octopus, and it was outstanding. Fresh and very flavorful. 3. Great service! Our waiter was warm, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Even though there were a few people waiting for tables, we never felt rushed, either. I will definitely be returning! read more

Note to self: don't ever doubt the Yelp community. I love the Boca food scene, but Tapas in Boca? Naaaaaaaah....I could not have walked in more of a skeptic. I'll tell you what else I could not have been more....dead wrong. This downtown Spanish inspired restaurant is serving some seriously amazing food. My favorites/recommendations: Chicken croquets: normally not a fan of croquets but this is the kind of thing that forces you to change your opinion. Beautifully crispy on the outside, yet so creamy that you would never know you were actually eating chicken if you weren't told so. Seriously, how is this so melt in your mouthy?? (Yes that's a thing) Pork belly: not exactly an unfamiliar item, but so many have tried only to be reduced to mediocrity. This is exactly what pork belly should be. Crispy, fatty, juicy. Take your diet elsewhere! Patatas bravas: if this isn't on a Spanish tapas menu, you're a fraud as far as I'm concerned. My first thoughts? Why is it cut this way? Ummm, this isn't at all traditional(which would later be confirmed by the host). But when you can achieve this level of success, you have the green light to break all the rules! Easily one of the most deliciously addictive menu items I've had in a very long time. Despite being a little left off traditional, this is some of the best tapas I've had anywhere, Barcelona included. Patio tapas and beer puts an emphatic end to my preconceived notions. Like a "dunk on you" emphatic, or a "drop the mic" emphatic, or a.....I think you get the point. read more

Preface this to say: If you have gluten sensitivity, you can totally eat here. We visited Patio Tapas after reading a ton of really good reviews on Yelp. It definitely was as good as people say! The woman who was serving us was really nice and explained the menu to us since we had never been. We came during the tail end of happy hour and were able to get a lot off of that menu. We tried so many different options! The sangria is also really good! We tried Montaditos - Pork Belly, Duck, Shrimp, Jamon and Cheese, and Croquettas. Raciones - Churrasco (cooked medium-well), and the jamon and cheese plate. For dessert, we had the Ahogato (espresso with ice cream) TO DIE FOR! Churros, the Creme Brulee, and a latte! Honestly, we tried so much and the bill was under $100! I would honestly encourage you to try everything at least once here...we plan on going back again soon to try everything else we didn't try the first time! read more

I've been there a few times and have never been disappointed. The montaditos are all delicious as is their patatas brava. Others raved about the octopus salad though that's not my thing. And while I'm not a drinker I did take a taste of their in house made Sangria with Red Bull, it was delicious! read more

Patio Tapas and Beer - Each tapa was priced separately - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Super slow service. Not authentic Spanish food. It did not have the Ñ foe Española. We were a table of 5 and not everyone could have water because they didn't have enough glasses for everyone. The "Croquetas de Pollo" we're very good and the "Chorizo al Vino" was ok. The rest of our tapas were under par. As a Spaniard, I can recommend this place. If you are an American, please don't judge Spanish food by this restaurant. It Is an insult to our cuisine. Unfortunately between Palm Beach County & Broward County, I haven't found a decent Spanish Restaurant. Please don't waist your time, money nor your appetite at this Patio. Bad food, bad service and the "ambiance" is comparable to a cafeteria. On top of that the life music was a saxophonist who couldn't hit a note even if it hit him in the face. Awful. read more

A total gem ~ low key with the nicest waiters ~ small eats and Spanish beer made for a great experience. Perfect place to grab a bite after work or a quick date night. read more

It's a cute spot. When I went it was pretty slow for lunch. The food was very tasty just a little pricey for the portion. Nothing out of this world but I'd still recommend read more

Very casual place . No need to make a reservation on Weekdays but not sure on the weekends. Seated outside and we arrived during the happy hour. Good way to try what they have. Tried the baguettes (small - 2 bite size) with the following : Crispy pork belly Salmon with caviar Manchego Pulpo Skirt steak Gambas Had also the gazpacho and pulpo salad Everything is okay and the only hit for us is the gazpacho . Sangria is again just ok. Not bad to try if you are in the area. read more

Came for the sangria and stayed for the tapas! It was happy hour, so we stopped for drinks in the patio. We ordered some tapas and then ordered some more! Would highly recommend the garlic shrimp, skirt steak and pork belly. Lots of outdoor dining availability. read more

I'll say it again we're blessed in Boca Raton with some phenomenal restaurants I give this place four and three-quarter stars out of five. We had that churrasco sandwich, The pork belly sandwich, charred octopus salad & Torta The outdoor seating was perfect last night read more

Great food, great patio atmosphere. Our favorites are the Churrasco & Pan con tomate Montaditos, the Iberico Bocadillo, and the Butifarra con pan. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite when I was passing through, everything ordered was incredible! I can't wait to go back and taste more.

What a terrific tapas spot! The inside is small but very cozy, I love that. There's plenty of outdoor seating. Be sure to check-in on yelp & get a free sangria! They are so delicious that I ordered a 2nd one. I enjoyed every single bite and I cannot wait to bring friends back for happy hour. Montaditos Recommendations: Pork Belly - The pork belly was so juicy and plump; I love the pickled shallots for the pop of brightness. Boqueron - This is the fresh (white) anchovies in vinegar and fresh tomatoes. Super delicious and I could have eaten like 10 of these. Anchoa - This one is anchovies, olive oil and parsley. It's a bit saltier than the other anchovies but still so good. Duck breast - The breast was cooked to perfection; I normally like it a bit rare but this was so tender that I didn't mind it. They serve it with fig jam and truffle oil. I mean, can you go wrong with fig jam & truffle oil? Nope! Jamon Iberico y Manchego - SO much flavors in the iberico! Next time I'm definitely getting a whole meat & cheese platter. Foie Gras - we saved this one for last because it was truly the PERFECT ending to our wonderful meal. read more

Didn't like the food nor the service. Food didn't really have authentic spanish flavor.

It was incredible. Churrasco, Jamon y Manchego, and both shrimp dishes. All were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this little gem. Worth a drive! read more

This was an exceptionally bad experience. It was the worst service I've witnessed at a restaurant (either as a customer or working at one). The food was okay, but charging ~ $20 for three small baguettes with spreads was daring (see photo). There are better tapa places in Boca. read more

Great seafood and sushi . Good happy hour too. I enjoyed the outdoor tent they built during COVID and the little tiki bar. Great fresh fish sandwiches and nice wine choices and wine glasses! read more

Patio is pretty teeny on the inside, but they've got a very large outdoor eating area in the front and in the back. Hence the name! It was a bright and sunny day. A tad too cold for the beach, but perfect for enjoying a tasty lunch al fresco. We didn't have a specific plan to come in, and instead came across Patio while walking around the area which is littered with other shops and restaurants. I whipped out Yelp, saw the check-in for a free sangria and the deal was sealed. They've got signs everywhere that read 'best sangria' and dang were they right. Tons of fresh fruit and crushed ice really added a nice touch. The only let down was that the check-in offer was only valid for one sangria per table, but hey, I'm cool with a BOGO sangria. There were lots of yummy and cheap options advertised on a board as being on lunch special, but unfortunately none of this was available on the weekend. A bit misleading as that sign should probably be taken down from the front on a weekend, but what can ya do. I ordered the only sandwich on the weekend menu - which came with jamon and manchego cheese. It was the perfect size for lunch and I really enjoyed. They let my sis order one of the sandwiches on special, just not with any of the complimentary sides or for the discounted price. But, what it lacked in discount it made up for in taste. Although we both went with sammies, the menu had a ton of various tapas that made my mouth water. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any - especially if you've got a cold sangria to wash everything down with. read more

Shout out to Greshka and Max as I read their reviews a while back and came here because of them. The space isn't big. They have a nice outdoor area to sit and only 3 tables inside and a bar area. The kitchen is right behind the bar - it's all open. I really liked seeing the staff back there cooking. Speaking of the staff - they were incredible. I read in the reviews that this was a husband and wife operation and that they did everything. I also read about how fantastic the service was - and I couldn't agree more - this was some of the best service ever. They always approached the table with a smile.....chimed in from time to time to ask how things were and were extremely nice. Really took the incredible meal to the next level......and speaking of the meal...here's what we had (keep in mind this is tapas style, so you will order multiple things as they are small plates): Pan con tomate - Finely chopped tomato on really soft baguette. Simple, but really tasty! Chicken croquetas - Perfect! A little salty, but really really good! Delicious crispy breading on the outside and ooey goodness on the inside. Best chicken croquettas I have ever had - and right up there with best overall. Patatas brava - Potatoes with white and red sauces. Nice cuts of potatoes- perfectly tender and smothered in two sauces with some spices. The red sauce has a bit of a kick. Papas canarias - It's very telling when my least favorite thing I ordered is still incredible! Small potatoes that have been roasted. You dip them in a delicious green sauce. A little salty - but really good none the less! This was my least favorite - but still something I'd order again (it's just that everything else was so amazing!) Pork belly sandwiches - incredible pork belly, it was literally melt in my mouth! Served open face they come with three per order. Stacked with pickled onions and aioli - these were soooo good! Check in offer is a free glass of sangria! Deliciously refreshing! The boast the "best sangria" and I will agree that this was some of the best sangria I have had! Really great! I really want to wish them the best of luck - and success. You usually can't go wrong when you have great service with great food (in a really nice spot!!!) so I'm sure they are going to have continued success! I'll be back again soon...writing this review made my mouth water when I mentioned the chicken croquetas. read more

The difficulty, when you're an amazing chef, is being away from your kitchen. What distinguishes the truly great restaurants is when the B team can roll the menu with as much passion and purpose. I can always tell a night off, sadly. The food is more B+ than A+ The chef's pan con tomate is perfect. Perfectly finely diced. Drained. Olive oil and salt make it sing and ode to nightshade nirvana. Tonight? Soggy bread. No oil. No salt. Thud. The tortilla was the right taste, but, again, undercooked and falling apart. Execution. For dessert, The churros were flavorless, and the cream Catalana, while tasty was a thin soup, not a luscious custard. Pretty much everything other than the steak and the duck rolled that way. Like the second string quarterback when you came to be thrilled by Tom Brady but get Hoyer, on a so-so day. A restaurant is a place to eat. A good restaurant is a place that gets a few dishes right, on average, better than others. A stellar restaurant is one where perfection is strived for at every plate. Every day. I know that the chef, school as he has been, is aware of that, because he came up in that system. His staff need to invest themselves in that same passion. There is fulfillment and truth in food done right, from the humblest sticky bun to the most carefully crafted sous vide pork. On a chef day, five star. On an off day? Three at best. This has happened more than once, sad to say. read more

This husband/wife owned and operated Spanish Tapas restaurant is a welcome addition to the "Off Royal Palm Place" group of restaurants. It is situated on SE 1 Avenue, which is one block east of Federal Highway, and can be difficult to find if you do not know the area. [Note, parking can be a challenge. SECRET: There is a public garage in the apartment building directly across the street] I discovered PATIO TAPAS before they had even opened, when I noticed that the front door to the out-of-business French Pizza restaurant was open. I walked in, and introduced myself to the man setting up the kitchen, to discover BRYANT, who I learned was the proud owner and chef. He enthusiastically explained the Spanish tapas concept, coupled with a limited number of craft beers and wines, and shared his prior chef experiences with me. I encouraged him to keep his menu focused on the foods he loved to prepare, which would also be unique to our restaurant community, and to make certain he had outstanding service, for East Boca is known for its hyper-critical and unforgiving patrons. He assured me he had the service component covered, explaining that his wife would be his sole server. So far, so good. I have been there 3x since they opened about a month ago, and with each visit, I have been pleased and impressed (Proud to say that I introduced them to YELP, and entered the new listing!] . And indeed, Chef Bryant's wife, NATHALIA, has been there each time, and is incredibly warm and attentive. And each time, Chef has offered an item for us to taste, which is smart marketing on his behalf. And of course, they each ask for feedback on the food, ambiance, and have shared ideas with us on how they see the restaurant evolving. We have had the TORTOLA ESPANOLA ($6), which contains chunks of potato and chirizo, and so far, is our favorite. The SHRIMP WITH GARLIC ($14, a bit pricey for the size) was tasty, with enough sauce (which includes a touch of brandy) to warrant being served with some warm bread (my recommendation). The CHICKEN CROQUETTES ($9) are creamy and stuffed with chicken pieces, and the 5 croquettes are filling. The PORK BELLY SANDWICH (3 for $10 had a sauce of pickled shallots and lemon aioli which gave it a distinctive taste. The CRISPY CHICKEN ($10) were a smaller portion size than I would have liked, but they were delightfully crispy on the exterior, and juicy on the inside. There are numerous items I have yet to try, including their desserts and cappuccino and espresso. The wine offering is limited, but we had no problem enjoying a nice Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc by the glass. Wine is also available by the bottle, under $30. They are still feeling their way on operating hours, but have told me that they will be open late, perhaps until 1 AM, on the weekends. Seating is limited inside, and there is enough seating for about 20 people on their outdoor umbrella covered patio. Oh, it's immaculate inside, including the gender neutral bathroom. Reservations can be made through the YELP app. I'm happy to see this young couple so engaged in their business, and so receptive to understanding the unique dining environment of our area. They are not like many other restaurant operators, who invest their [or more likely, someone else's money] in the business, and then hire a chef and servers. This couple are putting their souls, hearts, savings, and energy into this boutique tapas restaurant, and I hope that they will succeed. I plan to be a regular. It is worthy of discovery by my fellow YELP friends. read more

After my first review I've come to Patio Tapas several times, and for different occasions. Each time I am more and more impressed, and so are the people that come with me. 2 people, 3 or even a group of 12, their food and service is on point. Let's start with their Homemade Sangria... this is the only thing I drink here. It's refreshing, strong, and not too sweet. Filled with apples and an "drunken" orange on the rim to make it pretty. Served in wide mason jar like glasses, it is absolutely perfect. The other thing I always order is the Sweet Chips. Crispy sweet potato chips, with a cool yogurt sauce with passion fruit puree. You have one and before you know it, you will have finished the whole thing. No way you will be able to stop eating this - they are amazing! The montaditos (sold per piece) are a great way to start your way through the menu. My favorite was the Jamon Iberico until I tried the Pan con Tomato one. Now, It's a tie. But, discovered they make a Bocadillo Iberico - which is kind of a mini sandwich so, more to share. : The chicken croquetas (which I highly recommend) are perfect for sharing since there's 5pcs to an order. The Churrasco is juicy, flavorful, cooked exactly to order, and the little potatoes and arugula salad that comes with it, makes it a full meal (if you need one, or share, like we do, to be able to try more things). The Crispy Chicken, I don't know what they do to it but it's so juicy, the skin is perfectly crispy, and delicious. Patatas Bravas - you can smell the paprika as soon as the plate is put on the table. The aioli sauce with the brava sauce on top of the crispy potatoes is excellent. The Tortilla Española is another must. There are still things in the menu I haven't tried but I'm sure they are equally delicious. The effort and love they put in their dishes is reflected not only on the taste but on the way they treat their customers. They always welcome you with a smile and are very attentive and always aware of the customers' needs. They are genuinely happy to see you when you return and are open to customer's comments/ reviews. It's been about a year since my first visit, and I am really happy to see them still around and successful. And totally deserving of 5 stars. You will definitely see me checking in here, again and again, in the future. read more
