Tapas in a very atmospheric settingLovely little restaurant we had been cutting about all day and arrived at Tia Pol tired and a bit early but our waiter was extremely nice and seated us without fuss we ordered wine and several dishes but realised we had outstretched ourself and asked if we could have the wine to go the gave us it in a sealed wine bag I would have loved to have booked this little gem a bit earlier in the day to serve it justice no photos time afraid as I smidgen dark on that occasion
Croquettes, jamón, and pan con tomate are very tasty here. Sangria is pretty good.
As soon as you bite into the sharp, crunchy bread, you know these folks take their food seriously. Delicious tapas with high quality ingredients, and extremely helpful staff. Dont forget to check the specials for treats like fried pig ears!
The food was good, it is an indoor place, not open roof. We ordered bunch of stuff, fried fish, steam fish, shrimps, lamb skewers, etc for the table. Would easily need two dished to fill even a small appetite. It is not definitely, you order one dish and you will be full, as i got deceived with the images, thinking portions are huge. I loved the shrimps broth, I has like 15-20 shrimps in it.
I loved it. Nice people place. And looks poetic to me with their wine menu card showing maps from small villages and town in Spain. You should definitely try the chicken liver mousse
Enthusiastic 5 stars! We tried just about everything, but the highlights were the fried paprika garbanzo beans, grilled salted peppers, chorizo, fried fish with lemon, and a special grilled flank steak over potato and spring onion. Food came out perfectly paced, things were reasonably priced, waiter was both funny and attentive. Appreciated that we accidentally made a reservation for outdoors but they found space for us in the back room. Cool ambience, noise level was totally fine at 8 pm on a Saturday night.
This is my new favorite place! Tía Pol was the best choice to catch up with a friend over a glass of cava and cheese plates. We tried a few tapas and we enjoyed every bite. I think our favorite was definitely the plato de quesos variados. They pair the cheese with bread and raisins or olives. We also got a bottle of cava rosé which was so worth the price and just went well with everything. Ive been telling everyone about Tía Pol and will be dining there again, loved it!
Great tapas, with a large wine selection. Brunch on Sunday afternoons is fantastic! And as an added bonus, they take reservations.
Creative Tapas dishes that are delicious! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to offering suggestions. Back again on 10/17/18 had a bottle of Ostatu @$50, the Fideua @$20, Gambas Ajillo @$13, Lg Croq jamon @$8 and small Montadito @$4. Excellent meal!Visited 8/23/18 we ordered the Large Montadito @$8.00, Ensalada de Pulpo @$14.00, Fideua Con Costilla ( toasted short noodles mixed with arugula, asparagus and cherry tomatoes then topped with cockles and braised short rib. The sauce is a mixture of corn stock, garlic, butter and braising liquid. Fabulous dish!) @$28.00. Every dish was pure delight! A bottle of red Navaherrero @$42.00. Great neighborhood restaurant! Make reservations as the space is small. Arturo was our waiter and we just loved him! Back again after Rona 2020 on 9/16/20 & 9/19/20. Food is as good as ever.
The tapas were melt in your mouth! Fast service and attentive servers made it a wonderful evening for my buddy visiting from SF. They also gave us useful suggestions to get bread with the scallops to scoop up the sauce and it was heavenly. We got lamb chops, scallops, jamon, deviled eggs, trout and more stuff I lost count. All food came out super quick too. My buddy tried the sangria which was also delicious.
Great service, good drinks, great food. Intimate spot, perfect for date night and there is a room in the back that works well for bigger group dinners
Probably one of the best tapas places in Manhattan. All of them were very tasty and made with fresh food. They even had squid with ink which Ive never seen it before in the U.S. Good selection of wines too. They are pricey albeit in line with NYC prices. Recommended, Ill be back.
Great tapas ,place, patatas bravas out of this world, weve been going to this place since 2010 always amazing same Great taste
Nice peaceful ambiance feel. Customer care is top of the line in addition to friendly and accommodating. Service with a smile and warm.
Had the artichoke salad, lamb skewers, and pork sandwich. It was all very delicious. I recommend this place to all. Staff is also friendly and brought water for my dog. It was a hot day but it was surprisingly cool to eat outside. Will definitely visit again.
Excellent food and great service from the waiter for wine advice. The lamb skewers are a must have and the croquettes are some of the best you can have in the city.As for flan, its more a matter of its good or terrible. This is good flan.
The food and service and this place were exceptional. We tried the cheese platter, the fried chickpeas, the special with mussels, and some really good red wine. Wholeheartedly recommend stopping by, this place is great!
Update: Went there again 9/25/21 with a party of six. Still excellent. we had practically every tapa and desert on the menu and everything is well prepared and tasty. Even though the place was packed, service was accommodating as it could be especially with the nationwide restaurant staff shortage. Highly recommend.If I could give it six stars I would. This a true tapas restaurant with about three dozen choices. We had a sliced steak dish with delicious tomatoes, batatas bravas, shrimp in garlic sauce, spanish potato omelette, a crunchy artichoke salad, and an almond cake dessert. The service is impeccable and they bend over backwards to make things just as you want them, Berrett, our server, could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. Very nice outdoor seating available. A real gem. We will be back.
Went there while visiting NY and was not disappointed. They nailed the tapas recipes, and everything was served quick and fresh. Highly recommend.
We very much liked the po boy— not very Spanish but it is well done. Everything else is above average and service is excellent.
This was the best restaurant I went to during my recent trip to NYC. My personal favorite dishes were the lamb skewers and green peppers but everything we tried was delicious and came out super quickly.I can’t wait to come back!
The food here is exquisite and the staff are exceptional. This will be our spot on trips to NYC!
What an absolute gem! Stopped here for tapas with friends and every single dish placed in front of us was phenomenal. We did outdoor dining, no wait for a seat and no street noise. Will definitely be back.
Tiny place. In summer, sit at the bar. The tables in back have no windows or air-conditioning and the heat was pretty bad.The service was good. The small plates all delicious. But really tiny portions for the price. And I really wish a place that charges this much would make the effort to put 4 items on the plate instead of 3 when there are 4 patrons sharing. Just basic etiquette. That said, the food was as good as could be. This would be an amazing place if the portions were larger and the atmosphere more pleasant. For food, they get 5 stars, but a poor value for the money and atmosphere.
High quality and delicious tapas. Cozy, dark and intimate environment. Great for a rainy night. Loved this place
Truly authentic and delicious Spanish tapas place. Food is exquisite and refined. Our waitress was extremely professional and kind. Flabbergasting. Rates are quite high but relatively low for the area and the quality of service and food. Totally recommend it.
Amazing
I’ve been going here since like 2006. Way back when they still had chorizo and chocolate. Miss that btw. Always a great choice for Spanish food and just hanging around in general. When they have gazpacho or suckling pig, run.
My favorite restaurant in Chelsea. Their bechamel croquetas are to die for, the bravas are addicting and their special gazpacho I could eat daily. The staff is attentive and personable and they make sure your glass is full aslong as your are ready for, una mas. This place makes me thirsty and hungry and sometimes I wish I was closer so I could go daily! Cheers to Tia Pol for being a quintessential neighborhood spot, always welcoming you with that warm feeling you long for. Con mucho amor, para todo que ofreces!!! Until next time! Hope to see you soon friends!
Its a beautiful, small space that really feels intimate. The food is perfect. My wife is Catalan and we do the tour of Spanish restaurants in the city. Usually she lets me pick a few plates, but this time she said she couldnt spare any because they all seemed so good.There is a lot of fish, especially anchovies and everything is delicious. The bread with tomatoes is a pretty simple dish, but really really done well here.
Excellent well prepared tapas with a good variety of reasonably priced authentic selections.
I love this place! They give fantastic dishes, their menu is rich, The cook in that place is a real authority in the kitchen, I love a lot eating all their food. The dishes are consistently tasty, the service towards the visitors is efficient. I visit often this place and I not even once was disappointed. Highly recommended.
Cute little tapas spot with bar, bites and dessert. Had the sangria pitcher and some really great dessert. Staff was nice and attentive, checked in frequently. Good for small, intimate groups and dates. Its a romantic Spanish tapas place, for sure!
Cute tapas spot with a nice intimate vibe. Most of the people here seemed to be a date so would not recommend for groups larger than 4 or 5. Since this place is small, reservations are recommended. The food here was pretty good, especially the steak and garlic shrimp.
Good quality of food. Plates are too small for what you pay for similar restaurants in the area and similar Spanish restaurants. Their menu lacks churros as a dessert.They include a mandatory 18% tip (N), and we were only a group of 4. They didnt tell this ahead neither the waiter gave us a heads-up when handing the bill.Id not come back again, and the trick of the tip was sneaky.
Between the service, the atmosphere and the food, I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. Truly a great and consistent experience every time I go. Whether I am dining alone, entertaining a client, or celebrating with friends- Tia Pol is my go-to West Chelsea spot (they also have the best Flan in NYC)
A charming and authentic Spanish wine bar in West Chelsea. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful (and in no way snobby). The wine list has a great bottle selection, but the by the glass options are limited. The wine is pricey - but you get what you pay for and its worth it. Tip: arrive around 5/6 on a weeknight, by about 7:30 - the place was packed.
I came here with coworkers and we reserved the room in the back. It was a standing space with tables for food and drinks as well as a small corner to hang clothes and put belongings. The space was dimly lit and there was quiet music playing, and the ambiance was pleasant. We got patatas bravas (potatoes with aioli), pimientos estilo gernika (blistered green peppers with sea salt), gambas al ajillo (shrimp in olive oil with garlic and chili), montadito de crema de habitas con manchego (fava beans with manchego cheese and parsley), some sort of croquette (probably croquette of the day as there wasnt any meat inside), piquillos rellenos de pisto (stuffed peppers with squash, eggplant, tomato, and creamy sheep’s milk cheese), pan con tomate (grilled and garlic-rubbed baguette with tomato - for some reason they didnt serve us the three sauces), and some bread with meat, bell pepper, and cheese on top. It was a great spread of food, and the food was tasty but not amazing. The potatoes tasted deep-fried, and they were a bit hard. The shrimp and fava beans bread couldve had more flavor. I liked the stuffed bell pepper, freshly fried croquettes, and shishito peppers. The tomato bread was a bit hard and the sauce on top wasnt super delicious as it was super garlicky and could definitely have gone with more tomato spread. Service was good as we got checked up on for drinks and food, and we had a good time there. Food is definitely on the expensive side though.
Excellent excellent food, really delicious menu items, and the specials are def not to be missed. Portion sizes are small though... Two active people splitting 4 small plates and two low end glasses of wine was $78 plus tip... We left hungry but enjoyed the flavors.
The Tapas they create are amazingly tasty, but definitely on the smaller side. Plan on ordering a fair amount of stuff if you plan on going with a larger group of people. But overall they have an amazingly nice staff who are very personable and helpful with the menu.
Came here with three friends. The waiter read off five specials, and we decided to throw caution to the wind and split all the specials between the four of us. It was the best decision we could have made. As a result, I cant speak to any items on the regular menu, but if the specials that night reflected the quality of the overall food, this is a restaurant worth going to again and again.
Where do I start!? I would give this place 6 stars if I could. The tapas are ALL AMAZING, in particular the Spanish omelette, ham, and squid ink risotto. Their sangria is the bar by which Ill judge any drink by a similar name. The staff is on point, and the whole vibe is chill. Great for dates, small groups, and long lunches.
Really good tapas; was surprised it wasnt crowded on a Friday!
The food was good, but the service was just okay. The restaurant was crowded, and our table was in front of a large table that was obnoxiously loud. It was very obvious we were uncomfortable and the servers did nothing- paid zero attention to us. The table runners literally dropped the food on the tables and ran not providing as much as a spoon to serve the food. I have a friend and her mother visiting from Costa Rica. We literally ate and ran... Never again... I’ll stick to Boqueria Restaurant excellent food and service consistently.
Great spot to come with friends and try lots of small plates together. Surprisingly large variety of options so there will be something for everyone. That said, nothing here blew me away; there are better tapas places in New York and even within a few blocks of Tía Pol. The service is also standard (aka lacking) for an NYC hot spot. You feel like you are inconveniencing your server when you ask them for anything after they have taken your order. The restaurant itself is also very small and tight, so be prepared to be bumping into people.
Great food, great service, fun atmosphere. And everyone else must think so because whenever I go its crowded and noisy! But that shouldnt stop you from trying it out. Went with a group, tried half the menu, not a dud in the bunch. That can add up, so if youre on a budget dont let your eyes be bigger than your belly!
I’ve been going here for the past few years. While the food is good (a bit small for the price you pay), the service has always been a hit or miss! Not a nice feeling when you’re spending $200 or more for dinner for two.Yesterday however was the last nail on the coffin for the place in my book. I can’t believe a hostess would blatantly discriminate a pregnant woman at 34 weeks for asking to be moved from a table without back support to another. It was almost as if I asked her for something personal!! She made no effort to accommodate this request. When my husband told her we couldn’t stay since there’s no way they can accommodate us, he asked if she could suggest another place around there we could go instead. She told him verbatim “try the diner!”. I can’t help but wonder why she said the diner when there’s a Japanese place next door and lots of other places around. It’s not like Tai pol is a diner type food! Simply unprofessional and sadly ruined our date night before baby #2 came.
Great tapas options!
Food was incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection. Great wines and amazing hospitality.
Every bite of food was better than the bite before. My wife and I had scallops, shrimp, skirt steak, croquettes and a fava bean plate. All of which were amazing. Cant wait to go back.
Tia Pol is FABULOUS!! The setting of the restaurant is excellent! You feel right at home. Every dish I tried was excellent. There are plenty of options for all types of eaters which is great too. I would definitely recommend to friends!
Awesome staff with excellent recommendations for drink pairings. Pacing of the meal is also great for a place with a fairly low price point. The sherry list is a highlight with a full range of flavors.
Its difficult to find a good Spanish food place but this one is definitely top notch. Best dishes are the tortilla, patatas bravas, oysters, jamón plate. The special of the day was great too and they give you sangría, and white sangría in the summer. Ambiance is perfect for a date, not too quiet and cozy. Highly recommend it.
Ive been here three or four times and have always had mediterranean style service, wonderful wine, and usually end up loving 90% of the tapas we order. Definitely recommend it if youre looking for a small bite and some vino.
The tapas are great, and the Spanish red wines are irresistible.The place is great for a drink after visiting the galleries downtown, or a fun party.Service at the bar is always so hospitable, you can taste everything, and be taught about the various wines.Tapas which I like: garbanzos fritos, which are fried chickpeas, a real surprise, creamy inside and very crisp outside; and the fried leche - made of balls of Basque custard filled with drunken cherries, which is a fun twist on classical custard.
They have the Best Tapas in the area overall ... Only one other place tops tia pol... Great Selection of Wines and moderately priced menu, Specials are always good ... and the best Neighborhood bar in the area next to HalfKing. The Potato 🥔 Bravas or Brevas are a must and they have a good selection of Sherry Wines. Good staff.
Ordered 6 plates.Really, really below average food. Everything is either oversalted or lacking any sort of flavour at all. Also, for the same price, there are definitely better tapas places you can find in the city that are leagues ahead.
My go to place for Tapas in NYC and still consider one of my favorite restaurants of all time. This is a small place so seating is cozy and the wait can be extensive. Order the pitcher of margarita to accompany any meal! Enjoy the chorizo and patatas bravas.
Tapas place that has been around in NYC for at least 10yrs. They have not let let the hype go down or prices go up like most NYC sensations usually do. Two thumbs up for them. Very small space. Id say the bar is actually the best spot.
Solid tapas in a cozy romantic setting. Lovely atmosphere and great service! Its way cheaper than the flight to Spain, and the jamon is almost as good.
Grab a bottle of wine, order some tapas, drink some wine then order more tapas. Everything here is delicious and the wine is even better!

Excellent food, dishes were filling and flavorful. Ambiance was great for people watching!
This is by far my favourite tapas place in Chelsea. They have so many great dishes and its not too expensive. I have been here probably more than 5 times in the past 6 months.
Delicious tapas at reasonable prices, with great variety, and not only the typical things that you can find somewhere else in NYC. Almejas are a must!!!
Planned on going to Izakaya Ten first but they were closed for lunch...which is how we discovered this place right next door! I had read some good reviews of them in the past and they did not disappoint. The bartenders knowledge of the many different varieties of Spanish wine was great. And, there are cold Estrellas if youd like a beer instead. We sat up front at the bar in that lazy time between lunch and dinner and shared a few good plates of food (anchovies, peppers, etc.) while watching the world go by...
While other sushi restaurants are slicker and might have a hipper atmosphere, Tokyo Bay has the best fish of any place around here- it is not even close. I have never had a bad experience with them and I eat in and order out quite often.
Tapas was delicious, the wine was exceptional, and the ambiance is perfect. Stopped in for a light afternoon snack and glass of wine and got exactly we were looking for. Highly recommend!
Best tapas in the city. Always great for hits like patatas bravas and top notch sangria. Always a great specials menu - but especially when they have skirt steak! Great for date nights.
Cool interiors (slightly cramped). Great food; the pork sandwich, roasted peppers, and almond cake dessert were all highlights, but everything was good. Service was also friendly and quick.
Very good Spanish restaurant, is not the most traditional but the food is really good and they have nice drinks. I recommend to anyone looking for something different.
Food was pretty decent and so was the service. However, the place was too tiny and they had no air-conditioning. I was seated next to the coffee machine and in this summer heat you can image how that felt.
We sat at the bar and did a bunch of tapas. Its not the best in the city but it is very good, bartender was awesome and friendly, wine was great! Happy hour mondays 530-close!!!
Great drinks! Even though, you have a shy bartender, but ever so efficient n cordial.
Yummy yummy yummy! Tia Pol is great. The service is warm and welcoming, the options are a plenty, and the food is fabulous.Ive heard from others that their sangria is really good, but did not have a chance to sample it myself.I will say that of all their offerings, my favorite was the croquetas de jamón y croqueta del día. Its basically a little packet of ham wrapped around manchego cheese and artichoke heart - so its savory and creamy on the inside and the ham is delicious.Additionally, would highly recommend the pan con tomate y tres salsas. This is basically a crostini, but elevated. The bread is buttery and salty and amazing, and the spreads are unbelievable.Everything else is really good, although Id stay away from the gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas. Even though theyre two of my favorite tapas dishes, they werent executed super well at tia pol. They patatas were a little too goopy with the sauce (and the sauce was a little to mayonnaise-y for my taste), and the gambas were a touch overcooked and dry.Overall, this is a great place, for a great value, with wonderful service. Ill definitely be back.
Love, love this place. Great tapas with delicious cocktails (the frose is a must try). Reservations are definitely recommended here as it is very small and busy.
Get the specials! Delicious. Had some great beer, great conversation, the service was very very attentive and we couldnt have left happier. Great casual tapas bar
Though its been open for years, this Chelsea small plates seems totally fresh. Order some jamon and tomato bread and scarf it with one of the many affordable wines that they have on the menu. The narrow space is really no frills - its clearly not going to win any decor awards - but there is a convivial vibe and the prices are cheap. I try to stop by anytime Im in the hood - say, after a walk down the High Line.
Was once our favorite inexpensive meal in NY. One and only time we went after the chefs (Alexandra Raij) departure, we were very disappointed to the point of not wanting to return. The croquettes, which were a signature dish were sent out semi-frozen in the middle and then re-sent out burnt! Food and service rating reflect our last visit
Went for lunch and had a wonderful meal: eggs with peas and ham, deviled eggs, octopus, croquettes, and to finish, churros! Perfect place to go if your kid is at Chelsea Piers for an hour at least!
This place is amazing, absolutely the best happy hour in Chelsea. Amazing wine, delicious tapas and great service. Something magical about this place for sure.
Incredible tapas with a gourmet twist and beautiful selection of wines in a romantic atmosphere in one of the most hip places in Chelsea few minutes away from high line. Definitely recommended and hotspot for NYans
Dark typical New York setting (open brick etc). Pretty standard tapas. Chicken liver mousse best of a pleasant but generally unadventurous menu. Attentive wait staff a highlight.
The tapas are better than those in Spain at this hidden neighborhood gem. Be sure the the Spanish omelet and Sangria! Pleasant but terse service and tight seating make this a truly New York spot.
Great Spanish place for drinks and tapas. Huge outdoor patio and friendly servers
The food is nice, but all the portions were pretty, really pretty small. The cheese Table for example comes with 3 thin slices of cheese, the steak was so small too, I would say 150 g maximum.
Delish! Although it was dark, and I could barely see the menu. We ordered a bunch of items, I loved the food! Cool atmosphere! Definitely would go back.
Food and atmosphere great, well worth a visit. Dined here with family while on a short break. Would definately recommend to all tapas lovers.
Made a reservation - turns its a teeny tiny place. Our party was several minutes late so they gave our table away and said wed have to wait 15 minutes. An hour later, they come and find us to tell us that it would be another hour. Um no thanks. Better pick a place that doesnt feel like an overcrowded closet where your eardrums are liable to burst from the ridiculous amount of noise they manage to generate.
Came with a group of 14 on a Tues evening. The food and service were pretty good less a couple of mostly minor service things (e.g., asking for butter and being given olive oil instead). Would visit again.
Really good food but you have to be there early to get a table. its a really tiny place with long lines but worth the wait. if they have it when you go, have the cochinillo. dessert should be the tarta de santiago. and have lots of sangria. it is excellent.
The vibe is very hip and the waiters was very helpful and friendly.there are very good dishes but for the price that we have paid the portion was too less.Not ideal for groups.
Very good tapas, although a bit pricey for the quantity. However, I honestly think it is worth it. Try the Patatas Bravas and the Fried Chickpeas with Pimenton. Amazing!
Great Happy Hour selection and Friendly Service! Nice place to stop in and get a drink before a show at the Hudson Guild. The Cava Rosè was delicious!
No one on earth can beat this place for a hung-over Sunday brunch: first theyll hit you with strong coffee, then theyll bring on double-piggy Spanish eggs, pork, peppers and onions. They finish you off with three kinds of sherry and churros dipped in chocolate. New Yorks finest hospital.
Dinner on Monday Feb.10 2014.: pockets of jamon had no taste othwr than being slightly salty, jamon was definitely not the real thing you get in a good place in Spain. Same for scallops - no taste at all. This is what happens wwhen we n food is laden with preservatives - it loses its flavor. Vegetable s were better. The bed of Brussels sprouts on which the scallops were served was tasty. Wondering if this was the monday night phenomenon when restaurants cook fron ingredients no longer fresh which were left over from the weekend. Even if so this is not an excuse as the prices were not reduced for th is subpar food. Sangria tested good and had very little alcohol which for me was a plus but others may feel let down. Not returning to tia pol.
I have been to Tia Pol on many occasions and have never had so much as 1 bad or mediocre bite of food! Gaga beans! Potatoes aioli! The sangria! Simple exquisite!!!
Authentic Spanish tapas in a cosy setting. We had the shrimp and patatas bravas. Both highly recommended.
Tapas was delicious. All of the wines are Spanish. The air conditioning vent blows right on the booth table downstairs - made it cold.
Authentic Spanish tapas, tasty drinks, and nice folks make Tia Pol a mandatory stop on any visit to the city.
Small and always crowded cause the food and service are wonderful. Love this place!!
This is my favorite Spanish tapas place in NYC. The food is always very good, the atmosphere is very nice and they just know how to keep it simple yet every tapas is delicious.
Incredibly laid-back and chill staff, good food, and decent sangria. I wouldnt go out of my way to come here, but if youre in the area, its a great spot to spend some time at.
Fantastic tapas restaurant in a fun neighborhood. I highly recommend the patatas bravas and the ham croquetas are delectable. The tortilla espanola is really wonderful too.
We happened by chance on a quiet evening. We enjoyed the night specials as well as the recommended Spanish wine and the port for desert.We could not have asked for more.
We had a Spanish ancestor thats why eating here reminds me of home. My mom always cooks many dishes with corn and tapas.
The one place in New York City that I would go back to on every trip. The atmosphere, food, and sangria are all unbelievable. 5 stars for sure, if not more.
Authentic Spanish food, whatever that means. I can say it was very expensive, and you have to sit on an uncomfortable stool to enjoy because the place is so cramped. Food was merely average, I would just skip it.
Todd is the BEST bartender ever, so funny and personable. Most of all he really knows his wine. A must visit!
Place was fantastic. Food was great and service was perfect. Highly recommend!
Overpriced for what they serve, wait staff was not very friendly, got half the order wrong and gave attitude when we tried to send it back...I dont drink but they want to upsell you on wine... Not going back there
Fair prices for amazing food. Friendly staff. We left full and satisfied. A bit dark in the back but it was cozy.
Friendly bartender, good food, and drinks.
Not too bad, but as a frequent traveler having visited great tapas places (cervezarias) in Barcelona and Madrid at very reasonable prices, this place has ample room for improvement.
Place itself is decent, when I was there they served pretty awesome gazpacho. Tapas are just not my thing, thats why 4 stars.
I used to come here all the time after work. Amazing food and great atmosphere! Seriously- try everything. its all done to perfection. Great place to unwind
Ok taste, but not as authentic as other tapas bar (my favorite remains Bocaria hands down), and pricey for the amount of food.
Took the kids out. Food was delish. Only complaint was... it was so dark. Needed a flashlight to read the menu. But didnt want to look like an old lady in doing so....lol
Very good tapas. Decent plate size. Great prices and service. We dug it.
Great place to eat some tapas with friends. Their sangria is amazing as well their patatas bravas.
Love this cozy tapas restaurant. Always good food snd service. Just the right amount of food. Note, no takeout option.
Always spot on! Amazing tapas, chilled atmosphere and sweet and knowledgeable staff. I love this place.🥰😘😍
Went here to hide from the rain and it was awesome. The food was so good and The service was the best. We will come here again! Thank you guys for a nice time.
Amazing neighborhood spot for tapas and great Spanish wine. A great date spot as well. Highly recommend
Worst ever..didnt even get a chance to try the food..the rudness of the staff was enough to drive me out...my friend and i arrived at 5:57pm where there was around 5 empty tables, the hostess said i can give u a table only if u leave before 8pm then she the dark table by the kitchen door to give to us. When we asked to move as we could hardly read anything off the menu the waiter said ok will give u another table but u gotta leave by 7...i said no it is fine we will go so his brilliant answer was cool by me...just incase if u dont know it is my tips that make up the biggest chunk of yr Fxxxx salary by the end of the month.
Found half the dishes to be good and half of them to be extremely average. Hence my average rating for a restaurant that isnt cheap.
I have been here several times and always leave satisfied. Three things to try: papas bravas, lamb skewers, sangria! Youre welcome!
Excellent service but the food and sangria were okay.
The tapas are cleverly conceived and carefully executed. i especially appreciated the delicacy of the deviled eggs and the willingness of the server to pair a wine to them!
Great food, good wine, friendly service. The chicken liver mousse with Pedro Jimenez is amazing
The service was excellent and food was spectacular. My wife says that the lamb skewers are awesome!! Would definitely come back.
Fun, casual tapas place. Front bar MUCH better than back room - back room feels like a school cafeteria.
Excellent spot been here for dinner and brunch. Always great. Good food and good service.
Fantastic food, timely and supportive. The steak was really tender and tasty. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Best Tappan in NYC. Everything on the menu with is delicious, the staff is working and helpful and the atmosphere is very laid back.
Had a work team dinner. Amazing menu and excellent all the way around. Try the croquettas, try the seafood, try it all.
Im sad that people have discovered this tiny gem of a restaurant with no atmosphere but make-you-close-your-eyes-and-sigh food. hope their newfound publicity will mean that they can expand to larger digs
Perfect venue for late night and relaxing drink and food with soft music. Outstanding staff - warm and friendly.
Tasty tapas, insanely expensive sangria, but a really cool vibe and nice staff.
Incredible tapas in Chelsea. Everything on the menu is perfectly delicious. No joke.
This tiny tapas joint serves up some of the best red sangria and patatas braves weve had - trust us!
Very nice place for lunch. A good variety of tapas, nice service.
Just popped in for a white sangria and it tastes like it came out of a box. Absolutely terrible and a waste of 13 dollars.
Delicious food and great sangria! Def a good spot to go to catch up with friends.
Cozy&nice place but a bit overpriced for what is offering(quality + price), you can come for a drink though

The food was good, but overpriced. And there are better tapas places in Manhattan, like Boqueria.
Some of the best tapas you can have. Small space, and the wait can be insane, but its worth it.

2022-04-06Unpretentious, authentic tapas that celebrates the ingredients with simple flavors. Highly recommend the ham croquettes, lamb screwer, veal tongue, the signature flan, and whatever’s on their daily specials list. Great service and cozy ambiance. Come early for lovely walk-in bar seats.

2022-06-29I came here for a date night and was so impressed by each of the tapas. We ordered 5 dishes to share between us 2. We luckily arrived for happy hour before 6pm and ordered 2 rounds of the hels belz. Loved the croquettes, po boy, and lamb skewers. We had space for dessert thankfully so got the flan. Will def be returning.

2021-09-25Everything was good, but the calamari in the ink sauce were so tender, and the lamb so flavorful. The croquettes smooth. Just fantastic all around.

2022-06-06Incredible food & drinks! We stopped in at random and what a fortuitous stop it was. Every dish we ordered got better and better. The flavor profiles that were put together were amazing. Our server (Traver) was attentive, courteous, and provided great suggestions. Our drinks/cocktails were refreshing and tasty. I will 100% visit Tia Pol again. 10/10 tapas bar.

2022-06-30A delicious tapas menu. Good variety to choose from. We ordered croquetas, deviled eggs, poboy , skewers and the squid ink calamari with rice. All were delicious. Each one was more impressive than the next. Filled with flavor and freshness. We ate outside and had ordered sangria too. They also have a dessert menu. We ordered their savory flan. Everyone was very hospitable. Looking forward to visiting again soon . Highly recommend it.

2019-11-27The food is worth every penny. Bring your friends and share everything on the menu.Come in during happy hour. The waitress was really nice and gave us wonderful recommendations. She also let us know that happy hour was ending, but said we could order off the happy hour menu for our first round of drinks.
