The chicken and ground beef empanadas are both good but the ground beef is better. The ground beef is a tiny bit sweet in a good way. They are very full which I like. The crust is perfect! The verde is really good! Really fresh and refreshing! The churrasco was amazing! The steak was perfectly seasoned and the salad/dressing was fresh and good :) the steak was a little chewy but the taste made it worth The el sabror is also really good! The rosemary is a perfect touch. The server was very nice and answered all our questions well read more

The empanadas were delicious. I sat at the cute small bar. The bartender was great. The ambience was nice and dim during dinner time. It's a great place to be on a date or just eat by yourself at the bar. read more

Great meal for a really great price!! I had the burger which hit the spot. Service was good and it wasn't busy at all during brunch hour on a Saturday. It is dimly lit, aside from the outside space they have. My friends has the sandwich with fillet mignon and ham which reminded me of a Cuban and they loved it. read more

The ambience was nice and the place had a good vibe. They accept cash or Amex, which was convenient. However, the food was a bit bland and didn't really stand out. Overall, it was just okay. read more

The best part about Tabare is definitely the vibe-- so warm and welcoming. They don't rush you at all (we took FOREVER to order, and they were super accommodating). We ate for a long time, sat for a long time, and there was truly no rush. It was giving Europe with how generous they were with time. Food wise, my favorite thing I ate was the beef empanada. Super fresh and flavorful; give me 10 more. I was also a fan of the brussels salad, which was both savory and sweet. Where I went wrong was definitely the ravioli-- while it wasn't bad, I just don't think ravioli is where their strong suit is. The plate was lackluster compared to the burgers my friends got, and the flavor was a bit bland. I'd definitely recommend going with a meat dish (as the menu says they're known for), and absolutely that beef empanada! read more

Great vibes all around. Good, flavorful cocktails. The octopus casserole was not bad, but it was mainly packed with potatoes and not enough octopus. The flavor was interesting; it was mainly creamy and could have used a bit more salt or umami. We also ordered the trademark sandwich, which came with an egg, steak, and ham, and fries. Fries were delectable, sandwich messy, meat well-cooked. Quality ingredients all around, but flavor was just a tad lackluster; could have used a bit of heat or citrus or just even salt. Overall, would want to come back and try other items on the menu. Take note that they only take cash or AmEx lol (new level of wealth?) read more

Cute ambiance, rustic / industrial feels, dim lighting and an option to see "out" back, which is fully covered as well. The service was friendly and accommodating, great recommendations provided. We really enjoyed our drinks, they were pretty strong, from the margarita, mojitos & their bourbon cocktails. The food is delicious! Very flavorful, in all the right ways! Their Churrasco & Rib Eye were so juicy and cooked to perfection paired with a really tasty chimichurri sauce! Would definitely recommend! read more

Short review: Just solid food. Would probably recommend the Chivito Completo the most but everything was solid. I went to this Uruguayan restaurant a while back with a group. The service was friendly and the place has a laid back bar atmosphere without much lighting which means my photos of the food aren't exactly that good. To drink I had the El Cabo which is normally $11 but I think it was $8 or so during happy hour which is normally with tequila, lime, grapefruit, and a smoked paprika rim but I got it with mezcal instead which they were fine with substituting. It was a smoky tasty drink with some citrus. We got a few appetizers to split first. The Empanadas came with either grass-fed beef and green olives; free-range chicken, onion, and peppers,; or Spanish tuna with black olives; or a kale based vegetarian option that we didn't order. I tried a bit of each with my preference being the beef, then the tuna, and then the chicken but they were all pretty tasty. They're probably the only thing I found here that was a bit overpriced. Also very tasty was the Pâté Casero with organic chicken liver pâté and onion marmalade which was served with some toast. The pate had a good texture with some richness and paired nicely with the sweet onions and pickles. The quality would have been good in a French spot and was more than good here. I don't remember much but we also had the Chorizo Adobado with Uruguayan sausage, roasted onions, red peppers, and adobo sauce. This was fine. We otherwise got a couple mains to split amongst the group. My favorite of the bunch was the Chivito Completo which is their take on a classic Uruguayan sandwich. This consists of grass-fed filet mignon fried organic egg, bacon, provolone, black forest ham, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, bibb lettuce, beefsteak tomato, Spanish olives, and aioli served with fries. All those ingredients came together for a messy delicious sandwich with a good mix of flavors from rich to salty. The steak was very tender in particular. The fries were fine but nothing notable. There was also the very good Churrasco consisting of a 10 oz skirt steak with chimichurri, duck fat potatoes, and a green salad. This steak again was tender with a bit of herbal sourness from the chimichurri though not as much as some other spots. The potatoes were rich with a good texture (I didn't have much of the salad.) The Homemade Pappardelle with said pasta with a portobello-truffle cream was my least favorite of the mains but still fine. There was plenty of pasta which was cooked nice and al-dente and the sauce had plenty of mushrooms and had good umami. They also grated some cheese at the table which was a nice touch. For dessert, I went with the Alfajor Rustico with layers of crisp homemade cookies, dulce de leche, chocolate ganache, and sea salt caramelized walnuts. This was a fun spin on the dulce de leche cookie found all over that region and wasn't as overly sweet as I expected with a good mix of textures. I tried a bit of the Manjar Del Cielo or dulce de leche flan which was more standard and perfectly fine. The food here overall was very solid. The prices were reasonable outside of perhaps the empanadas being a bit overpriced and the flavors were solid. There wasn't really a bad dish among everything we ordered and the meat in particular was cooked perfectly. It's hard to make many complaints. Mid 4 for general quality and reasonable prices. read more

Great atmosphere, attentive helpful service, delicious food. Empanada dough was flakey and filling was warm and gooey with fontina cheese. Steak with Chimichurri was cooked perfectly with very flavorful bright Chimichurri. Will definitely be going back on the next vacation. read more

Charming and Intimate Latin restraint tucked away in Williamsburg. Have been here twice and enjoyed both times. Came on a Monday without a reservation and was seated promptly in the covered back patio. It is a lovely restaurant with good service. For drinks we got the sangria and the Hibiscus Mezcalita, both drinks were good. Only wish was the sangria was larger. For appetizers we got the empanadas, 1) chicken 2) Gruyère cheese, both were flavorful. For entree we tried the Ravioli which was very rich and hearty. Wanted to try the lamb lasagna but unfortunately they were sold out for the night. Overall a great experience, will certainly be back! read more

Really snug, well-lit space. Great date spot. Good vibe. Sadly I ordered wrong. The burger wasn't great. The fries were great. And the empanadas are incredible. And my companion ordered the chicken Milanese and said it was the best he'd ever tried. So if you were writing this he would have given it 5 stars. But yeah I'd go back and to try another dish. It's a cool spot. read more

Service was impeccable and the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. Case in point, I couldn't decide on the recs made for my entree and the bartender let me taste both before deciding on a pairing. The atmosphere is very intimate and cozy. I really love places like this. I took the bartender's rec on the wine for my skirt steak and also tried the beet salad. Both delicious and very filling. read more

Serving traditional Uruguayan food, their churrasco (steak) is unbelievable ~ full of flavor and sauce. I would also recommend their empanadas. The beef & onion was my favorite, but the kale one was also good. The staff are incredibly kind and were able to make space for us at the bar when all the tables were reserved, which, as a protip, is a kind reminder to make a reservation. read more

Came here for date a night and it was just the perfect warm vibe for a cold winter night. Very cozy cabin feels. We shared the mussels, grilled octopus and churrasco. The mussels and steak were fantastic, definitely will be ordering again. The grilled octopus was mostly potatoes sadly so that dish might be a miss for us moving forward. The drinks were fantastic! For what we ordered, the check was not bad at all. This might be a new favorite dinner spot for us! read more

I fell in love with Tabare Bushwick and was pleasantly surprised there was also a location in williamsburg which is way closer to me. I was able to schedule a same day reservation for valentine's night dinner so that's a plus. This might be my new favorite restaurant in NYC. The flavors and pricing is out of this world. Highly recommend the cheese empanada and ribeye steak! read more

Tabaré is a super cute Uruguayan restaurant tucked away off the beaten path in Williamsburg. I was really impressed by this place -- both the food and drinks were really good and I thought the prices were reasonable. I ordered the Verde to drink as well as the burger, which was well seasoned (and the fries were really good!) We walked in on a Saturday night around 7 and were seated outside right away. However, our waiter was rather short with us and wasn't very friendly, although the food made up for it. FYI, they only accept cash or Amex!! read more

We were really excited to try this place but it did not meet expectations. We ordered the chicken and beef empanadas, these were okay. The grilled octopus was mostly lima beans and maybe 5 pieces of octopus. For entrées, we order the ribeye, the Churrasco, burrata ravioli and the Lamb Bolognese. The ribeye quality was really poor, tasted more like a flank steak and we asked for medium rare, it came out to be more on the medium side. The Churrasco was also really tough and the chimichurri sauce was not that great. The Lamb Bolognese pasta was very gamey and not enough sauce when they first brought over the pasta, my first reaction was it's not saucy enough. The pappardelle pasta used in the dish was good and silky though. The best of the 4 dishes we ordered was the burrata ravioli, but it's also the hardest dish to mess up on, it's simply cheese and pasta. Overall, the food lacked salt and taste. The service was also really poor, it took us a while to flag someone down to order food, drinks and the check. read more

Be aware that this place only accepts CASH OR AMEX! This is a very cute place with lots of odd little artifacts that showcase Uruguayan culture. The first thing I noticed was how dim the light is here. It's great if you're looking for a romantic date spot but might have issues reading the menu if your eyesight is not great. We decided to order a few dishes to share, including the empanadas, churrasco, rib eye, ravioli, and chorizo adobado. Overall, the food here was very good, I really loved the beef empanadas and the rib eye steak. The meat was cooked perfectly, medium rare, and very tender and juicy, I only wish that they would have added a bit more salt and pepper to really enhance the flavor of the meat. We ended up asking for salt and pepper, and this really took the meat to another level. The meat came with salad and potatoes, the potatoes were a bit hard and just not that great. I tried the ravioli, and it was just beyond bland and tasted so healthy in not a good way. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and the staff was extremely nice and gave us free champagne which was very thoughtful. For dessert, we ordered the flourless chocolate cake and dulce de leche flan. This has to be the best flan I've had besides the one that my mother makes. I grew up eating homemade flan and will never order it out since I'm usually disappointed, but this flan was simply amazing. read more

On the first frigid evening of this winter, Tabare had a warm welcoming atmosphere. My friends and I loved absolutely everything we ordered. The verde drink was so good, we all ordered it. It sounded like it would be sweet, but it wasn't. The kale salad was delightful, loved the salty cheese kick with anchovies, felt like a Caesar salad, but better! We ordered both the cheese and beef empanadas, I preferred the cheese, and one of my friends preferred the beef. Needless to say, they were both phenomenal! The octopus appetizer was surprisingly large, tasty, and cooked to perfection. I've been turned off by octopus (and duck) recently, probably because of a few bad restaurants but Tabaré is motivating me to keep ordering octopus since it's so good! We split the crowd favorite Churasco and It didn't disappoint. Cooked to perfection, sizable portion and good sides. My other friend couldn't resist flan... and even though I typically don't love the jiggly thing, I'm glad she made us get it. It helped that it was dulce de leche flavored, but boy did it hit. It was perfectly rich, just the right portion and satisfying. Definitely will be back to Tabaré to try the other dishes and cocktails. Great date spot or to catch up with a small group of friends. Quarters are tight, so don't come with a big group! read more

This place earns its positive reviews. This restaurant sets the bar too high for competitors. The staff excels; greeting everyone warmly and fulfilling requests happily. Each dish maintains authentic spice levels. I believe this spot charges appropriately. read more

Great service and good! Branzino to die for and rib-eye melted in my mouth, and oh yes, seasoned to perfection!!!

Thoroughly impressed with this place!!!!! First impressions are everything and I was hooked from when the door opened. Upon arriving Emilio greeted me with an open door and smile. I had to wait for friends at the bar and Emilio made me the perfect starter drink and even gave recommendations (he was a delight). The place is small yet quaint and comfortable. The dim lights and amazing playlist definitely adds to the vibes. After moving to a table we got more drinks and order hella food. Drinks- The Zorro , this mezcal drink with the slight tang from the Tabasco was perfection. Food- MUST HAVES -Blue Cheese Brussels sprouts, any of the empanadas, and the homemade pasta. All bursting with flavor and love. Unfortunately the Churrasco, and Branzino were slightly under seasoned lacking appeal and the dessert Alfajor Rustico was a complete miss. The homemade cookies were nice but the dessert was completely dry (texturally it was a fail). Overall the experience was nice. Many things I enjoyed especially the hospitality and I'll be back to try more :) read more

Great food and drinks! Definitely check out their happy hour (nice selection of beer, wine or cocktails). FYI: Cash or Amex only (great if you have the Amex Gold). For the apps, we got the mussels ($15), olives ($8) and empanadas ($9) - all delicious. The sauce for the mussels was so good we definitely needed more bread. For the entrée, we each got the churrasco ($28). Skirt steak with potatoes and salad. We were stuffed by the end. Cocktails during happy hour were $8 so we tried a few. I'd recommend El Cabo or La Sombra. Overall great place to treat yourself to some good food and drinks. read more

We were looking for a place to eat in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant! We went around 10pm and it pretty packed when we arrived. It was really dark inside but overall a great place for a nice candlelit dinner. I've never personally tried Uruguayan food so I was super excited to look into the menu. We ended up seeing the people next to us with the churrascos and it looked so good so we both ordered the same. The steak was perfectly paired with their chimnichurri and plated with duck fat potatoes and a salad. Everything was absolutely delicious and it was a perfect portion size for me. We also tried their dulce de leche flan and it was so good!! Overall, they had great service and made our experience here pleasant. Like the other reviews mentioned, they do only take cash or AmEx -- neither of which we had lol -- but they let us pay with Visa since they said that the ATM was closed so they didn't mind. Highly recommend! read more

I have eaten at this location a couple of times and at the other location as well . I feel like I have to give a review because this place never lets me down . It's a cozy spot to eat weather with a group or with a loved one, The music isn't too loud and it's always just chill music . The service whenever I have gone always feels Welcoming and warm , the waiter/waitress always come over to ask how my food is and if I would like something else . I also attended Tabaré while pregnant and they were able to cater to my eating needs and restrictions without a problem . The food is always superb the steak is cooked how I asked and the fries are always hand cut and never have that fake taste like some places have. The drinks are also unique and taste so amazing . I definitely recommend Tabaré for a cozy night out or for brunch . read more
