We had a spectacular meal. Get the mushrooms, the gazpacho and th paella Gambo. We had the pleasure watching Maria Serrano sing and dance. An amazing dinner and entertainment.
We came to Tapas during their summerlicious promotion and it was great. They had live music on Friday which they do charge for in your bill. The food was great, we had a salad and soup to start then our two mains which were spare ribs and beef tenderloin. Both were extremely tender and very good. Dessert was also delicious. I'd recommend paying them a visit and trying some authentic Spanish cuisine.
Excellent for special occasions. The food was delicious and lots of Tappas selections. Service is top-notch. Parking is on the street or paid parking lots. Wine selection and Flamenco show were fantastic. Highly recommend. *****
delicious! i think the anchovies were our favourite but the whole menu looked phenomenal and we loved everything we ordered. half priced paella on sundays and wednesdays
We tried their winterlicious menu and it did not disappoint. For our apps, we got the bacon wrapped dates and scallops, both were ourstanding. The service was a tad slow for the entrees but they were amazing too- the confit ribs were fall of the bone and the paella was so flavorful. For dessert, the flan was out of stock but we got the almond lemon cake and the fried goat cheese - impeccable. The ambience was authentic but the cherry on the cake was the live entertainment. This is a hidden gem!
This place isn’t fancy, it’s more like home style, warm and welcoming. It was a quiet weekday night and only a few tables. Our server is nice enough to give us a larger table. Food is great overall. The clams are really tiny and slightly overcooked but other than that, most dishes are wonderful. Must order some bread to soak up the sauce! The steak is tender and juicy. Parking on street is difficult to find, however, there's plenty of parking at the Broadview subway station. Night time parking is just a flat fee of 7 until the next day 7am.
Tapas at Embrujo is a very wonderful and full dining experience. The food taste and quality is fantastic; all the dishes are well-seasoned, flavoured and delicious. Portion sizes are also very good and I think reflect the menu prices well. Everything was tasty but I am going to recommend the filet mignon and frites, short ribs, and the goat cheese and honey tapas dishes. I did not like the garlic chicken-- to be honest it was my least favourite thing tried. A surprise hit is the chorizo cubano-- which is very throwback for me-- it a humble but tasty flat iron 'split hot dog sandwich' you'd get in New York. Be sure to finish of with their dessert its a sort of lemon almond pound cake dish and have a cappucino with it. Service is really good and the staff are wonderful-- one of the servers also gets on stage for the the flamenco show and does a very neat drum solo. The flamenco show by Maria was amazing -- the performer was captivating-- her singing, clapping, dancing is so amazing is just draws you in. There is a part of the show when she was just doing footwork (tapping) was crazy good- how one person can make the feet sound like a a room of instruments - an artistic stampede of feet if you will. The whole performace with guitar and drumming is a vibe and show that will make you want to get out of your seat. If you were as moved by the performance as I was -- you will be pleased to know that there is a studio next door where Maria teaches.
Had a warm and lovely dinner with friends! It's a homely style place with great food with quite reasonable price in Toronto standard! Check it out if you're interested in Spanish cuisine
