Tomiño Taberna Gallega

This restaurant is probably the best Spanish food I have had in the US. Every tapas dish was full of flavor. The squid rice was especially amazing and really brought out the sweet seafood taste. The servers were very responsible. They did not just come by to check on the food like in many other restaurants. They actually paid attention to our eating pace and coordinated well with the kitchen on when dishes came out. Compared to servers who are just friendly and smiling, these staff were much more professional. This kind of service made me willing to leave a higher tip. The only small downside was that there was a company event on the same day. The restaurant was very noisy and crowded. Even though I had a reservation, we were still affected by other guests. Luckily, the food and service

This a bit of a mixed review. The good: drinks, service and ambiance Food was hit or miss. The pulpo was tender, though felt a bit slimy for my wife. The rice with squid ink was full of flavour, but squid super chewy, but very good nonetheless. The empanada was nice, smoky and pastry crispy. The Croquetas were freshly fried, good but not great. The Jamon was hard to find in the Croquetas, and Jamon flavour was imperceptible. Not bad, just had a ton better. The biggest disappointment was the Jamon Iberico de Bellota 5 Jota. Normally, melt in your mouth goodness! This wasn’t. Never mind that it was cut too thick, but the vast majority of the pieces that were cut were 1. Dry and rubbery, 2. RANCID. The white fatty part of the Jamon was yellow and dry, the meaty part leathery chewy, and like

Tomiño Taberna Gallega is absolutely amazing! The beer (Estrella Galicia 1906 Reserva Especial) was so 👍 good — crisp, smooth, and perfectly poured. A must-have if you visit! I also had the fried squid, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly crispy, tender inside, and topped with a flavorful green sauce that made it unforgettable. Pairing it with the fresh bread on the side was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Spanish flavors in NYC. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I saw the seafood platter online and it looked absolutely mouth watering, so I went the very next day. Big mistake. The shrimp were mushy, which already tells you the seafood wasn’t fresh. The scallops were way too salty, drowned in olive oil to the point where all the natural flavor was gone. The cigala was relatively fresh but tasted like nothing. In short, it is a feast for the camera, not for the taste buds. That said, the rest of the dishes were actually decent. The potato and egg mash was silky smooth. The lamb chops were perfectly seared, though I wasn’t a fan of that brown sauce. The pork chop had a lovely creamy sauce that worked really well. The interior was nice enough, cozy but not too fancy. Still, I would probably hesitate before going back again

An enjoyable experience and definitely recommended. Friendly and attentive service. The ribs and sausage were our overall favorite although everything was tasty.
