Tapa Tapa

I visited the holiday pop-up bar with a few friends (there was 4 of us). The attention/server (Juliette) was horrible she was rude from the moment we got there in which she ignored our table and passed it several times without asking us for anything until we got her attention. We asked if a song could be played in which she rudely yell “oh girl no” at us. After this she brought us our check and we completely understand if they can’t split the bill however, when I put my card she picked it up and picked up other cards as well. She was with my card for about 5-10 minutes all for her to run the other cards and come back and request to see my ID to make sure it matched the name on the card. She stated that the “system was requiring her to do this” all she did was compare the name on the card and the name on my ID and went and ran the card and came back. She didn’t put anything “in the system” as she claimed she needed to do. Additionally, I paid with my debit card and I have NEVER had this happen anywhere else even with checks or in store purchases much higher than this one. This was clearly a race issue as the four of us were Latino (in which we were the only Latinos in the building) and she did not ask any other tables at any point during the night to verify their card with their ID. I felt completely disrespected as if I wasn’t going to pay the $189 tab that we had. I would never go or recommend anyone to go here again because it was made obvious that they thought were thieves or weren’t going to pay.

Been there for Mardi Gras 2020 and it really was a nice place to celebrate it, drinks are fantastic, looking forward to be back.

Great price, great atmosphere, and fantastic service. The bartender, McKenzie, walked us through food and wine pairings with ease, providing a lovely evening that I would recommend to all my friends! The owner Andy stopped by for a friendly chat as well, 10/10 will be coming back!

Went for the Mardi Gras pop up restaurant and will not be returning. Music was incredibly loud and tables were shared. It was so hard to talk/be heard over the music. Food was incredibly mediocre. Perhaps other pop ups are better but this one was not fun or a good time.

Was looking for the perfect date night spot that was intimate, private, with really great food and service. This place was PERFECT. Lots of tapas spots don’t offer all with portion sizes enough to share, great menu, drinks, and ambiance. This place has all with some of the best service in town. Will definitely be back. Best kept secret for couples.

Nice location. Nice atmosphere. Three of four dishes that were supposed to be hot came out at room temperature. Obviously they are making some dishes ahead of time and allowing them to cool significantly until a patron orders. Wasnt that good either

Just a little on the pricey side, but the food was very good! The drinks were also good, I had the 'Alibi', a unique mix of whiskey, port wine, and walnut bitters that was well crafted and strong. We had the tuna tar tar, beef brisket tacos(so good), shrimp taco, brussel sprouts, and finished it off with some amazing churros, chocolate, and Dulce de leche sauce!

Date night at midtown arts cinema took a new and yummy twist. On the way to apres diem, noticed the barrel shaped tables, checked out the menu, and decided to give it a whirl. Food was great, liked the shiitake/oyster mushroom dish the best, and now we have an alternative!

HAD A BLAST!!! What a great way to kick-off the Holidays! Tapa Tapa is now an ongoing pop-up restaurant, so they have different themed venues throughout the year. The Christmas pop-up just began and we were there right soon after they opened their doors ob Tuesday night. If going here doesn't get you in the Christmas festivities mood I don't know what will. The place is over-decorated and that is the point. It is all things Christmas and is warm, comfortable, and an overload for the senses. Lights, decorations, artwork, Christmas movies on their big screen, Christmas music on their speakers all contribute to a fun, lively environment. And, of course, there is also a Christmas-themed drink and tapas menu. Drinks are served in various Christmas glasses and mugs, all of which you can buy to take home if you'd like. They also have a seasonal line-up of craft beer. My wife had a Christmapolitan and I had the Yippie Ki Yay, both were delicious and packed a punch. For food we ordered: Donner & Blitzen (charcuterie board) - simple, yet great tasting meats & veggies Frosty Fries (fries w/warm beer cheese) - even though this was a good amount of fries, we had wished that we ordered two of these because they were that incredibly tasty. The beer cheese is killer with these hand-cut parmesan fries! Felix Navidad (brisket tacos) - these were flavorful, but they were only two small tacos for $11; for the money, I would definitely get something else next time. Gingerbread & Friends (cookies) - we got these for dessert, but would suggest a pass on them as they are just store-bought little cookies that you can ice and add sprinkles. This was a fun, memorable experience and anyone who enjoys the magic of Christmas should find their way to Tapa Tapa before the Christmas pop-up ends after the holidays.

Nothing to look at. Dismal inside. Was here for a private event. Cluttered hallways, bathrooms yucky. The food was delicious though. Not sure if the menu was special for us because we didn't have tapas.

We have come here twice now- Christmas Pop Bar ( Miracle) and for Mardi Gras. We had a blast both times. The line will be long and you will have to wait, but good times come for those who wait- that's how the saying goes, right?! Both times we came here, we ordered 1 round of drinks and 1 app then we moved on to a different restaurant for actual dinner. Overall great experience!

My first time at Tapa Tapa was such an amazing experience that I had to give it 5 stars. I had zero complaints! For food, I had the Lamb and Spanish omelette tapas. Both were absolutely delicious! For drinks, I had the sangria, spicy margarita drink, and the drink of the day (don't judge me, you don't know my life! LOL). Those were just as great. Thanks to McKenzie and Britain for being very friendly, and attentive. They were the icing on the cake to an awesome visit. Thumbs up all around!

Came here for the SATC pop-up. Unfortunately I found out that they no longer take the Atlanta Dining Out Passbook since they are now a full-time pop-up restaurant. It was still so fun, though. And the food and drinks were so good! I hope the future pop-ups can live up! They need to find a better marketing strategy because our waitress told us how they weren't getting a lot of business which we were all surprised by because it's such a unique concept.

I was on my way to a movie screening next door and arrived a little bit earlier before it was scheduled to begin. My stomach was on fire so I hopped on Yelp to find the quickest eatery in the neighborhood and came across this gem. It's a tapas bar which is right up my alley as I'm a huge fan of Spanish cuisine. Ordered the Frisée which is served with Endive, Pistachios and a Cranberry vinaigrette and the Prawns which was served with curry infused rice. The Prawns were too hot (temperature not spice) to eat so I had to let them cool down a bit. Definitely enjoyed them over the Frisée. Never had Frisée but it's always fun to try something new. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

Yesterday after some volunteer work and a good run from Piedmont Park through the Atlanta eastside beltline trail I became hungry and stopped by Trader Joe's, while there I decided to walk around the Midtown Promenade area (this whole shopping area) I discovered Tapa Tapa, which is right next door to the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema and Apres Diem, which is directly across from Tapa Tapa. Tapa Tapa is very inviting, I like the way the bar is designed and the whole layout is well done. This is the perfect place for a night out with friends, or a date. The lighting is fairly dim and the environment is very relaxing. After I was greeted, the server brought a bowl of Spanish Olives, as some places are known for their bread sticks or rolls, here it is a mixture of Spanish Olives. Now, to be completely, honest, I have always despised olives, as a child I always picked them off my pizza, but I ate all of them here at Tapa Tapa. Hilarious, right? Now I know the only olive's I'll be eating are the ones from Spain. My appetizer was the Tortilla Española, this is also known as the Spanish omelet, which has a nice crusty shell topped with cream and Spanish paprika and served with dried Spanish chorizo, it could be described like a summer sausage and the flavour is excellent, I really loved it. Next I had the Costillas De Cordero, these are New Zealand lamb chops, which are very well known for being very tender and piquancy. The lamb is served with a Cherri Au Jus and is served with wrapped around in sautéed kale and topped with corn. For my dessert, as I was still hungry I had their Manzana Con Hinojo Y Manchego. This contains green apples (Granny Smith) mixed with fennel, cucumbers, and Manchego cheese, which is a well-known cheese from Spain and is made from Sheep milk, it has a distinctive flavour and is excellent for anyone who loves and appreciates good cheese. This salad is also topped with pomegranate seeds. They also have signs posted around that say they have a live DJ and offer hookahs. I usually always associated the hookah with the Turkish and middle eastern culture and just recently learned that due to the large mixture of other cultures coming to Spain, that now hookahs have become quite popular there as well. Overall, this place is excellent, the food is extremely good and high quality and the service was fantastic as well. If it were warmer, I'd definitely recommend eating outside as they have these really cool looking tables that appear to be made from old wine barrels. I'd highly recommend this place. [Review #216]

I'm not sure if I like Tapa Tapa more than it's sister across the way. Equally good service, but I think the bar is bigger and the restaurant lets in more light in general. We got there for happy hour and sat at the bar. Specialty drinks are pretty good, but the highlight of the meal was the bacon wrapped dates (please note that the dates are cold), but still yummy and The Lamb Chops were very good (a little salty, but we don't have an issue with that) - we should have just gotten 2-3 plates of just that. The trout special for the night was ok, but unmemorable. The only thing I would tell you to PASS on is the squid ink calamari. I love squid ink pasta and dishes like this that I've had elsewhere, but this was just a weird dish. One bite and lips and teeth were black - too much ink?? It was just a very chewy dish and just not appetizing to look at or taste. Something was definitely off with this dish. The bartender was very nice and took it off our tab, but I'm still gagging when I think of this dish. Anyway, there is plenty of parking and we actually love walking to this location in our neighborhood. We'll be back and hopefully it continues to get better over time.

Really nice place ... Good wine and nice tapas. You will enjoy the patio and the waitress are very friendly.

This is such an expensive tapas place. Menu is limited, pricey, and have small portions. Drinks are pretty good. Atmosphere is pretty trendy. It's a good place for a new date who you might be trying to impress? Our server was helpful and funny/witty.

Great lil spot, good service, limited menu, small portions, good wine & cocktails. I came for the Christmas Pop-Up - my first time at one was in Manhattan, so I knew I had to christen its arrival down here. Nico's Christmapolitan (vodka, elderflower liqueur, spiced cranberry, lime juice and fig bitters) favorite made the menu and the Brazen Blitzen (gin, pine liqueur, vanilla syrup, lime juice, club soda and mint) - my favorite, should make your try list. - Lamb Rack with Sautéed Kale & Cherry Jus: Succulent, almost-but-not-exactly falling off the bone, and too much fat on my lollipops - sliced fat aside I basically ate one piece for the price. Two tablespoons of kale (mostly stems) and some barely there jus. It had promise but a tad disappointing. - Spanish Omelette: layered potatoes between, some paprika and creme fraiche with chorizo on the side. Oh, how I miss Texas. This was good! - PATATAS. [Yes, I'm shouting] Those gd twice-baked, fingerling potatoes! Caramelized onions were barely there again (what's with the skimping?) but, I promise, once you taste the seasoning on these you won't care! The garlic aioli, onions, rosemary and/or dill & mojo verde? So good. Coming for the Jingle Spirit if you've been to Mace in New York? You'll be disappointed; I can't even blame the cold outside, it's colder in NY and a lot more fun. The diners here were bland. Did most not know what was going on here? Seating is too close to not smile & be affable with your table/table-mates, guys. GET SOME HAPPY...or stay home! A few cheeky cocktail/shot names to give you a feel of things: Naughty shot, Nice shot, Santaquila, Bad Santa, Yippie Ki Yay Mother Fvcker (they had asterixes on that, though), Jingle Ball Nog et al.

We visited the restaurant during the holiday Christmas pop up. The drinks and food was amazing. We had h one meatballs and they were delicious. The drinks were strong and the holiday music was lit.

I came here with a friend after walking into The Independent only to be hit by a cloud of smoke. I'm so glad we did! I got the Basil Smash cocktail which was very well worth $10 and one of the best things we had ever tasted. The complimentary olives in a sort of hot marinade were very good too. We decided to split the Jamon Serrano plate (pictured) which had fruits, veg, manchego cheese and prosciutto like Spanish ham and bread. Amazing. I can't wait to try everything on the menu - drinks and food. Also, the service was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. A+++++

Good place for a date! Very quaint and classy ambiance. It was a little pricey. Drinks are ~$10-12 and tapas plates are $12-$14 (See menu). We had the Ceviche, Tuna tartrate, Calamari, and Lamb lollipops. Everything was delicious and service was awesome. Everyone was polite and friendly. I had an amazing experience. Definitely will come back! I highly recommend this piece

Terrible experience this past weekend. Was excited to see the mardi gras theme! The waitress (looked Hispanic) was so rude and impatient. Her expression and mannerisms showed that she hated the job and the customers. The menu was so limited and everything was over priced. Never going back and will not recommend!

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the servers were really nice and attentive. However, my drinks were watered down and it was obvious they did not use the liquor I asked for. However, I was charged top shelf prices. I won't be going back.

My holiday office party is held here every year, and every year I am impressed. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and its quite nice inside. I am a little harder to please than a lot of people when it comes to food but I enjoyed the food a lot! Everything even down to the mashed potatoes was delicious. Definitely check them out!

5 stars for service 4 stars for ambience 2 stars for quality and taste of food. If you are knowledgeable about tapas, the you will be disappointed. We ordered arepas and empanadas- meet was tasteless and both were over fried. Lamb had a balsamic with mustard sauce that tasted like chef was too lazy to figure out a better sauce. Ceviche was with a red sauce that tasted exactly like a salsa in a Mexican restaurant. Will not be coming back here.

Wife and I stopped in here before a movie. Staff was useless, disinterested, slow as hell (we were 2 of 6 people there with a full staff. Took 30min to get our drinks and our waitress disappeared. Never did get a water refill or another drink. Food was meh. The hostess ended up bringing us our food which was now cold and when the waitress finally did show up, she litterally threw the bill onto our table and walked off. Never again.

Everything was amazing from the service to the food. The Tortilla Espanola was soo good! And you must try the lamb, it's the most delicious lamb I've had in a long time. We were visiting from Los Angeles and were very happy to find this little gem of authentic Spanish tapas.

Tapa Tapa has its drawbacks, and it certainly isn't on the level of some other tapas places in Atlanta. But it is a good neighborhood spot that shouldn't disappoint if you order the right menu items. Overall, I think the 3.5 rating it currently has is right on target. I love the atmosphere here. It is darkly lit indoors with a cool bar and a nice outdoor seating area. The whole area- specially the outdoor area, where you are across from the Apres Diem outdoor seating area- almost reminds you of being in Europe (though you are in a parking lot, so this might be a bit overdoing it). The service is always friendly and prompt. The food is good, but the menu is not at all expansive and the options are frustratingly limited. In fact, the options seem to have shrunk recently. A lot of the dishes are also very similar- white wine based sauces, pretty acidic. For me, the highlights here are the patatas bravas, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and mussels. The jamon and cheese plate are also pretty good. I would skip the paella- its nothing special and you don't get that much of it for two people. I guess I would describe the food as semi-authentic, some dishes more than others, but if you've ever been to Spain, I wouldn't go in expecting food quite like its really made in Madrid or Barcelona. The drinks here are awesome. They always have 4-6 good beers on tap and a great selection of bottles, and their white sangria and wine options are affordable and tasty. Their mixed drinks also look great, though I've yet to try them. Tapa Tapa's biggest drawback is hands down its very limited menu and lack of variety. This is a place we would go to way more often if there was more variety, but you get to the point pretty quickly where you've tried everything. The price can also be steep for the portion size/quality of what you're getting. Its not bad by any means, but some dishes aren't anything life-changing and have a steeper price tag. Still, if you want decent tapas done quickly in a nice setting, you should check this place out.

Don't miss this little gem! The food is prepared perfectly- the entire staff was so friendly and outgoing! I enjoyed everything I ordered and went back a few weeks later to eat everything I missed the first time!!!

Amazing ambiance. Very cool decor. Simple yet classy. Romantic setting. Gr at selection of tapas! Obliged me with a white wine sangria which tasted delicious. We got the Jamon Serrano plate which was overflowing w ham! Would go again and order the plate again w plenty more items.

Horrible service.....would not recommend. Manager on duty , with no name, was very rude. Order sausages and after waiting 30 minutes they decide sides it's too late, did not tell us. Would never return. Manager, guy with beard no name is a horrid manager.

Was looking for the perfect date night spot that was intimate, private, with really great food and service. This place was PERFECT. Lots of tapas spots don't offer all with portion sizes enough to share, great menu, drinks, and ambiance. This place has all with some of the best service in town. Will definitely be back. Best kept secret for couples.

Good food. Great cocktails. Quite slow service. Three of us had a girls night out on a Wednesday- dinner and a movie (at the theater next door). Service: We ordered our drinks soon after we sat down (~6:40), which were pretty slow to come. We then waited for about 20 minutes before getting to order food (~7:10). Food came pretty quickly. While we were eating, the waitress was overly attentive and kept trying to take the plates out from in front of us. We finished eating around 7:35, and then suddenly she had disappeared. I would have ordered a second round of drinks had she not waited 10 min for her to come back. By then it was close to showtime, so we asked for our check (7:45). We waited about 10 min for her to come take our cards and eventually gave up. I went to the front of the restaurant and found her texting. By the time we got out of there, we were just in time for lights out. Good thing the theater is literally steps away. Food: The food had an Asian flare, which was pretty unexpected at a tapas restaurant, but it was good. We had shrimp, ravioli, beets, and scallops. All were very good, particularly the ravioli (which had some unexpected but very mild cilantro), but none were incredible. Music: Too-loud, pretty bad, pop music played in the background. Overall: Pretty good casual experience, if only for the good cocktails. Leave extra time & don't show up super hungry.

I really liked this place. The service was spot on. The lamb chops were great. The drinks were really good. I would highly recommend this place.

I have never ever written a Yelp review but Tapa Tapa made me do it. Worst service ive ever received. Servers and host are spacey, uninterested and unapologetic. Waited 30 min for our drink when the place had just two other tables full (other diners came well in to our arrival) and just two people at the bar. The bus boy brought our drinks - waitress and bartender were missing in action for 20 min. When we said something to the waitress we received no apology and silence when she came back to w the check (she did not deliver the food or check on us after). The food, that finally got there, made up for it a little. Never going back.

I liked the interior - simple, and had a good music and wine selection. The place was quite empty, I guess they just recently opened. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The size of tapas was alright: 2-3 can be enough. We had potatoes, Chorizo sausage and ham plate. All of the dishes were good, we only had an incident that the wine glass was dirty, but the waiter changed it without a problem.

The food was great, and service was excellent. One of the best tapas bars ive been to.

We've been wanting to try this place and tonight we did. The food was really good. A great mix of flavors and large portions. For tapas, I was really impressed with the size of the dishes. We had 5 different plates and 2 cocktails. for under $70. Not many places you can get away with that, for the amount of food and for it to be really well prepared. The service was top notch and very helpful to recommend great dishes. I will be back.

-Loved the ambiance and the beer selection. Music was nice, with volume low enough to talk. Good date spot. -Food was hit and miss. I enjoyed the cheese plate, but my date did not - she likes hard cheeses and not a fan of goat cheese (but loved the fresh fruit). Next we tried the Octopus - visually ok, but tasted funky. Asked the waiter how many pieces came with rack of lamb and he said three, which was one less than we wanted but said if we wanted a 4th they could adjust the price accordingly, but we ordered just with three. It came with only two but they did not adjust the price accordingly the other way. In fairness it was very tasty. -Service was really the downside. Our waitress was a little too friendly and interrupted our conversation a couple times. Halfway through our first dish, she asked us to cash out because she wanted to go home. No big deal, but she dropped it off and wanted me to stop eating and take care of it immediately. Nice. Assigned us a waiter that came only when waived down, and ignored our empty glasses. The runner (manager maybe) was good, but the servers need to up the professionalism a few notches.

I love this place. Great authentic food and fun atmosphere! We love the chorizo and authentic squid ink paella. Add a few drinks from their well stocked bar and you are good to go!

Caught their monthly magic night. Very funny and professional show. It's held in the bar, so the menu is limited.

Great atmosphere and nice place to eat before the movie at Landmark Cinema. Order the lamb chops and Calamari (squid) in its own ink. Expensive but good.

Saltiest food EVER! I actually like salt but this is ridiculous. Need to go check my blood pressure. We had the spinach, fingerling potatoes, lamb chops and Brussels sprouts. I wouldn't recommend any of it. Waitress left a lot to be desired as well.

Nice atmosphere and excellent drinks. Unfortunately average food. Salad, mushrooms very good. Shrimp okay. Paella expensive and not very good, super starchy rice clumped together. Chorizo sausage uneatable.

Lovely spot - good food and great service. We enjoyed the arepas. We'd definitely come back.

I had often walked past Tapa Tapa on the way to the movies. Tried it for the first time several weeks ago, and I was quite surprised. Tapas were excellent - especially the papas bravas and asparagus. Also good wine choices. Fast service. And a much better food choice than Après Diem across the courtyard, I think.

Perfect place for after a movie. Had a wonderful evening. Service was great. Tried many dishes and all were very tasty. Filet was over cooked so they did over with no fuss. Brussels sprouts were the best. Kale salad was tasty. Wee will be back.

Good tapas and good drinks. All the staff is great, especially Coraline the bartender. This is a nice place to hang out and see friends.

We don't have real Spanish tapa bars where I live (and Ceviche Tapas Bar does not count). So I was glad to come across this place, there was no line out the door like the other restaurants. Here in Atlanta. I'm from Orlando and have no problem waiting 1.5 hours for a goooood restaurant but Barcelona was a little outrageous. Anyway, The portion sizes were decent. It's more of a wine bar and the menu is small but the food was good. My boyfriend order the octopus and he loved it. He also had the gambas, I ordered the quesos españoles for all of us but it wasn't just cheese it had fruit. I wanted just the cheese.... I frowned when I saw Bleu cheese on the plate (Azul on the menu), and the soup was a little too salty and had no morcilla. I also had the beef tips. I've been to Spain and spent some time there and I really don't care much for Spanish food. (I'm part Spanish). The only think I really liked over there were paellas, churros con chocolate, and their ice cream. And empanadas. And I love me some Jamon Serrano.

Cute decor and it stops there.I had better tapas from airline bags of packaged food. Not an apres diem fan so dumb of me to think this would be better but starved before the movie and tried it. Not good. salty. Rubbery excuse for Spanish sausage, dry cheese. No thanks. Trader joes takeout would be better

Good spot for wine and tapas to debrief after seeing a movie at Midtown Arts next door. For tapas, portions were bigger than expected, but not a huge selection. Our favorite was the jambon panini.

It's a shame that this tapas place was nearly empty on a recent Wednesday night when a friend and I stopped by for dinner. Chalk it up to a post-new-years slump. In my humble opinion it's the best thing - culinarily speaking - to happen to the Trader Joe's/Landmark Theatre shopping center since...like forever. The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful - dim lighting, lacquered wooden tables, laid back, a floor to ceiling wall display of wines and a well stocked bar full of ambiance. The service was wonderful, friendly & attentive but not overbearing. We couldn't decide on a bottle of wine (half off on a Wednesday night!) so our server opened two different bottles to give us a taste before we decided. The red blend she had initially recommended was the winner. We tried three small plates. The prawns (gambas) were perfectly cooked and seasoned and nom nom nom delicious, and the tortilla española - with it's yummy layers of potatoes and creamy eggs - was perhaps the best I've had since my trip to Spain. The brussels with chorizo were tasty in terms of flavor but the texture was a bit off, too boiled tasting, I would have preferred them roasted & a bit charred. But I nitpick. I didn't try the cocktails, but judging by the ingredients, they seemed legit and well worth a try on my next visit. I am eager to return & sample the rest of the menu. Maybe tomorrow? ;)

Doesn't quite hit the mark. Limited menu, almost half of it included shellfish. There were four of us and we all tried 2-3 different things and think none of us will be back. Portion size tonight was generous, but food was average. Mojitos were also average. Excellent service!

A bit pricey, but I found the portions to be quite large for tapas. I ordered the paella which was more than enough to split for two people. The wine options are mostly blends, which was new for me. Overall a great date spot if you're looking to try some new types of food. Oh also - a lot of tapas here were spicier than I had anticipated.

I love this place! Great food, great wine and great service. The Setas Al Ajillo (Mushrooms) are ridiculous. The Fennel and Apple Salad is delicious as are the Mussels! Great wine selection and next door to the best movie theater in town! Definitely check out Tapas Tapas.

cute interior, beautiful bar and lots of seating along the windows. food was pricey and not tasty. i found the portions to be quite large and actually unappealing visually. we ordered the grilled octopus which didn't taste or looked grilled. it was a mushy mess and again, the large portion made it even more unappetizing. shrimp was chewy and tortilla was bland. was not impressed and will not return. we ordered a couple more unmemorable dishes i wouldn't recommend.
