What a wonderful surprise! I love Spanish tapas and usually try this type of restaurant. I went there with my boyfriend and was extremely pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, how quick the service, how decent the prices and what cozy vibe with a full glass window view of a very quaint and vibrant street in the village. The decor was beautiful and so was the background music. The Sangria is better than at the most renowned tapas places in the city! Will be coming back here for sure!

We just happened to stop here to eat and what a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious... So good my girl ate her whole steak which she rarely does. I also finished my whole meal with no leftovers. I had the filet of sole which was perfectly cooked. The staff was very attentive. We sat in the outside seating because it was a nice night. I would definitely go again for dinner.

It’s rare when you find that a place not only has delicious food but an amazing staff and atmosphere. Stephan was the best and catered to all our needs with such exuberance. I will be back for happy hours and friend dinners. Great staff and vibes. I would highly recommend.

This place is really nice. The ambiance is very warm, comfortable, and welcoming. My dinner party all ordered drinks and they seemed to like them alot because they kept ordering more. What I can speak about is the food. This was the most disappointing part of our stay. The portion sizes, the aesthetic, and the prices were all bad. And worst of all, nothing had flavor. Im not sure how that happened but the food was beyond bland, it was depressing. The chicken dish that I ordered sounded so good but when it came out, it looked like a lunch that I could have been served in middle school. The chicken cutlet was so thin that it was dried out and tasted like jerky without flavor. It had semi crispy fries and the veggies looked like they were an afterthought. The lobster ravioli was even worse. The playing and portion size was sad. Look at the photos I attached for reference. For the price point, I would have hoped for some really tasty dishes but I left disappointed.

I like the food, service, location and ambiance of this place. The food is tasty and I like number of options on the menu. The prices are reasonable and you will leave quite satisfied. Ive tried many fancier tapas or small plate places where the food tends to be more innovative and presentations prettier, but I never find the food to be particularly tasty. I much prefer a place like this for the good food and friendly service than to pay up to be seen in a fancy restaurant.

Last night we were in this Excellent Restaurant for the first time. It is a place that looks very elegant, all our dishes were great and had so tasty. John was very attentive to us and made us feel at home. An unforgettable experience. My family and I will return. Highly recommended!!

It was good but I expected more. The portions are not big. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it wasnt as tasty as I thought, it comes with sour cream but no guacamole. The good thing is the plates came quickly, but they did not offer you water or anything as an entry.

This spot is low key terrific! The service was super attentive and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. They’ve got a solid cocktail list and the menu offers a nice variety to choose from. My date and I ordered a bunch of tapas to split —chorizo, shrimp, and octopus—and everything was tasty and well seasoned. Very satisfied with the portions sizes. Its a great place to grab a bite and drinks before heading out for a night in the area.

A packed day in busy NYC, with no restaurants; or so it seemed. Tio Pepe turned out to be the nice surprise, with a relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. The Tapas and main course were both delicious - their Arroz Con Pollo may be richer and tastier than you’ve had it. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area 👍

The food, especially the paella, was honestly not amazing, but the sangria was very goo. Overall also a bit too expensive. I would only recommend to go to get small food and sangria with friends because the ambience is also nice.

Nice, clean restaurant located in the Village.Any of their paella is a go to, but you just get more for your money when you order the seafood one. Yummm! I wouldve given 4 starts but my sangria was a bit too watery 😕 Food and atmosphere was great!

We had the Paella and it was worth the 3-35 mins cooking time, it was simply the best I’ve had in years. There was a good variety and amount of seafood to please anyone appetite. The Chorizo was also very good, and it added really nice flavour to the rice. We will definitely go there again next time we are back in NYC. Cheers

Stopped in for brunch while walking around with my dad. Ordered margaritas and they were super watered down. Unacceptable for $15 each. Asked to switch to the bottomless boozy brunch option since it was only $5 more and they gave me a hard time (but eventually relented). Steak and eggs were fine. Service was good, drinks kept full, etc. We were the only customers since it was mid-afternoon, so I cant speak to the service when its busy.

Review №19

Overpriced, slow service, small portions. You can see the shrimp cocktail int he picture has 4 small shrimp (like you buy at costco). The thing I found even slightly redeeming was the fusion margarita (Lychee) which was tasty but had little to no alcohol. I also had what was supposed to be a Pumpkin Pie special for the day but it was literally the worst goo, untasteless thing its been my sadness to experience.

It’s been awhile since I had an experience that was amazing from sit down to payment. We sat outside since the weather was mild but each table had two heaters (just in case). Appetizers, drinks and main course were phenomenal. The best part however was the service. Not only did our waitress check on us but so did the other waiters and manager. It was busy and good to see considering current events. Def returning and recommending.

Went here for a brunch on the weekend. Entree + $14 for unlimited mimosas/margaritas/bloody Marys.The food here was okay. I ordered some pancakes because I wanted something filling but the portion was very small. The service was extremely friendly and nice but slow. I had to order the Pan con Tomate which was basically hot tomato sauce on bread (I expected some innovation there :/).Good place/ambience but I would think twice before going here again.

Review №23

I wish we could’ve eaten here but they either discriminate against tourists or Latinos. My grandfather, father, and I came here last night and after being seated, no one came to attend us. We waited for 20 min (which I timed) until we had enough and left. Mind you, the restaurant was also less than half empty.We went in casual clothing due to all of the walking we did but still wanting the last official meal of our trip to be special, we came into this restaurant expecting to be treated as fellow human beings. Instead, we were ignored.I DO NOT recommend.Instead head a few blocks down to Sevilla, another local Spanish restaurant, in which they treated us as esteemed customers and the food was divine (which might explain why there was a line there instead of in Tio Pepe)

Food was amazing. We got the paella and a few tapas. Came with a group of 6 the waiter was very attentive and friendly. The manager checked in on us a few times and made sure everything was in order. We even got a round of free drinks from the bar tender who was testing out a new mix. Hopefully it’s a new menu item soon. I suggested the name cabana breeze but it’s still unnamed but ask for the blue/green drink

What a great spot!! We stopped in for a quick drink but ending up staying way longer. The pitcher of frozen margaritas sold us, but the delicious guacamole made us stay! Friendly and attentive staff…any time we stirred our pitcher our smiling server came over before we knew it and insisted to pour our drinks.

September 2024 - We recently dined at Tio Pepe, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish!! The food was absolutely delicious ant the atmosphere was warm and inviting. What truly set this experience apart was the incredible service. Liana, the manager, was phenomenal. She didnt just manage the restaurant, she managed to make everyone feel like they were old friends. Her personal attention to our table, along with her genuine interactions with every guest, really elevated our experience. I can confidently say well be back 100%. Tio Pepe is now one of our favorite spots. Highly recommended!!!November 2024 -Since Google doesn’t allow a second review, I’m updating my thoughts from two months ago. My original review from September still stands, but with the change in management, I feel compelled to add my two cents.While the food and service remain great, the atmosphere has taken a hit. The new manager, was openly rude to his team, and his focus seemed more on his own status than on creating a welcoming experience for guests. It’s a stark contrast to the warm environment Liana maintained when she was in charge. Sadly, this will be my last visit!!

Review №35

The place is beautiful, the service is excellent, the drinks are good but the food... the food is lacking flavor. We tried tacos, hamburgers, fries, calamari, and every single dish was missing something.When the place was separated from burrito loco and ramblas, the flavors on each place were delicious. After the pandemic, they merged the 3 places, and obviously, the menu changed. Its disappointing 😞BUT, the place is nice and its great for drinks and appetizers after work. 🍻

Review №37

My friend and I stopped there for dinner. It was worst Mexican food we ever had. I didn’t think you can actually mess up tacos. My friend got paella that had very weird/old taste, and I ordered mushroom tacos. All I got was couple slices of mushrooms on broken tortillas. No additional toppings as listen on the menu. I couldn’t even pick up “the tacos”, all I ate was mushrooms. I couldn’t even ask what happened to my toppings bc our server never checked on us. We also got chips and guacamole for appetizer and they came up in 5 seconds meaning they don’t make them fresh to order. Margaritas tasted like cheap sour mix.

Service was very attentive, came on a Sunday when a lovely group of senior people kept singing throughout the night, I think that some of them were well-known jazz musicians in the city. Food hit the spot just rightThanks to the manager Jhon for checking up on out table and making sure we had a good time, would def recommend to stop by if you are hungry and are looking to be comfortable while eating and drinking, take a visit!

One star for nice staff. I’m not sure how this place has any good reviews. The food was subpar. I had steak fajita and the steak was very over cooked. The drinks were weak. And they add a 22% tip for a party of six or more when no one came to refill my water, not to mention two of the six people in the party were kids under seven.

We wandered past this afternoon and decided to stop for brunch. I opted for the $20 extra for bottomless margaritas and initially I thought they were very weak ( couldnt taste the tequila) but they hire me hard afterwards! Excellent service, couldnt fault it, very attentive and super friendly. The food ( omelette and eggs Benedict) were just fine, not amazing hence 4 stars not 5. Would probably go back for the service alone.

Review №49

A mixed experience on the food. Being vegetarian, we had a limited selection available. The tacos (mushroom as well as the patatas) were delicious and well made, but the paella was bland and the vegetables in it a little raw. Would not recommend, but the enchilada was tasteful. They do make an amazing sangria though - Id recommend the red over the white! The server was also friendly and welcoming.

Review №51

Some of the sorriest tacos Ive ever had. Burrito Loco was good a few years back. But this Tio Pepe-Burrito Loco restaurant mash-up has made this a place to avoid. Extremely overpriced with tiny servings. In agreement with another reviewer: no wonder why this place was empty.

We went on a Tuesday night and everything was perfect, actually that night they had a jazz concert in the restaurant which makes our dinner more romantic.

Review №59

We had lunch here and the food was pretty good. The service was pretty good.Honestly , the biggest problem with this restaurant is its love of Fabuloso. They spray so much of this heavily perfumed cleaner that you cant taste the food. And you smell like Fabuloso for the rest of the day. If they move to an unscented surface cleaner, I would return.

Good setup with a big communal bar-area table. Food is pretty good. Had the salsa, enchiladas, and street corn. 2nd night tried the tortilla soup and 3 tacos. Service was a hit the 1st night and bit of a miss the 2nd. But regardless, lots of groups of folks coming here and having a great time, and the food and mgmt is good.

Amazing sangria pitcher for a great price. 3 girlfriends and I came here and got the sangria pitcher. We each had 4 glasses and it was $42, a great deal ($3.50 per glass!!!)The staff was super friendly, we stayed a long time and chatted and weren’t rushed out. Servers also refilled our glasses, which was great because we would have spilled. Another staff member noticed our table was wobbly and immediately came over to put cardboard under the leg of the table.Highly recommend for a happy hour our GNO. I didn’t go to the brunch but seems like a great deal!

Loved this place! The service was so fast and efficient and the food was amazing. The drinks were gigantic too.I came here with a group of four. We started with drinks. I ordered a margarita and was pleasantly surprised at how big it was. We got a bunch of tapas to share. Some of the highlights were the patatas bravas, the shrimp and the meatballs.Ordered another frozen margarita and had some more patatas bravas before finishing up the meal.

Amazing food, warm, wonderful, and attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere. This place is a neighborhood gem. I love that they make the guacamole right in front of you...the flavor is so rich, the right amount of heat, lime, cilantro, onion...its so good, it stands on its own....Another stand out dish...or two rather...my girlfriend had the small lobsters with prawns, and I had the vegetable piaia (sp) it was the best Ive ever had!

Tio Pepes has been my favorite restaurant since 1983. Tio Pepes started with Pedro y Jesus and now Miguel has given this place the same care as his uncle. An engineer graduated with his master from Johns Hopkins. Presently, I dont know another great restaurant to eat in downtown Baltimore. Four Season is good but does not compare to Tio Pepes. The food and taste is the same since 1983! I wish we have Tio Pepes in Sonoma. California. Great competition for Della Santina, another great restaurant!

Amazing place with live jazz band! Although its prizy compare to Mexico where I currently live, what I love it that they are using Cuculi app, and I was invited by a friend who is also using app to meet with some new people who are on the app Whats amazing about this new app is that you can see manu, order thought app and pay on app without doing it with waiters. You order choosing on app, they just bringing all you order! Super cool and simple. Also such a great way to meet new people who are using app. I love that this restaurant has something new to offer that makes all proses of ordering and paying super easy!!!

Review №92

I went here with a Pulsd voucher for brunch on a Sunday. All the food options looked great, but they rely heavily in their dishes on some kind of starch or carb (i.e. lots of potatoes, corn chips, tortillas, etc.). I had the chilaquiles, and they were delicious, but I didnt want to finish it because there were too many chips. Also, the mimosas were INCREDIBLY weak. I was there for 3 hours with my friend, and we drank mimosas the whole time. I probably had at least 10 glasses, but I barely felt a thing (and my tolerance is not that high). So if youre looking for a boozy brunch, this may not be it.

What a lovely place. The service was attentive. The food was delicious. Appetizers we tasted: sardines, pulpo, and salmon were perfectly seasoned.

The tortilla is dry like eating a shoe. The pan con tomate its like tomatoe soup on top of the bread. Worst Spanish restaurant in new york so far. The eggs with tomato....ufff...dont try them please.

Tio Pepe and Burrito Loco are my favorite Mexican restaurant (s) in the city, with amazing guacamole, good drinks, and consistently decent to good food.

Indulging in the delightful flavors of the paella was truly a remarkable experience at the Spanish restaurant. The perfectly cooked rice, infused with a symphony of aromatic spices and complemented by a medley of fresh seafood and succulent meats, showcased the culinary excellence of this establishment. The ambiance added to the overall charm, making it an unforgettable dining adventure. Without a doubt, one of the best Spanish cuisine encounters Ive had.

Everything is lacking-decor, food, drinks, and management. The premises need work, the manager has zero customer service skills, and the food and drinks are straight up gross.

Stopped in last night for a drink and absolutely loved this beautiful spot. Espresso martini was great, and the churros were phenomenal. By far the best part about this place is the service, every worker was incredibly friendly and welcoming! You could tell they take pride in the food and drinks they make. The atmosphere was so chic and cozy at the same time. Highly recommend!

We went after theater and it was the perfect ending to the evening. Drinks with house cured salmon on toast. Perfectly roasted asparagus and garlic bread. The service was attentive and friendly. I understand it is under new management and it is an improvement over the old. Our new favorite hangout.

I cant say enough good things about this place. The revamped menú is amazing and has brought back many traditional favorites to an area where for some reason its hard to find good and tasty Spanish food. The Sangría is amazing and service and staff make me feel right at home.

Mabel invited me to her favorite Spanish restaurant. At the door we were welcomed by the Manager Senor Ariel who was warm and friendly. The place had a great ambience where one could carry a decent conversation without shouting at each other. The food was AMAZING! We had the calamares with their special dipping sauce, the paella Valenciana and the sopas mariscos. All so sumptuous with fresh seafood and ingredients. The special sangria was sooo great! The flan was to die for ! Light and not too sweet! Certainly a place I would not hesitate to bring friends and family over. Maybe next time we could listen to the jazz band too. Thank you Senor Ariel for a fantastic dining experience!
