"We tried this tapas restaurant recently, and while some dishes were enjoyable, the overall experience left me mixed. On the positive side, the prawns were excellent, definitely a highlight, and the mussels were also very good. Unfortunately, the steak was drowned in an overly sweet sauce, which masked its flavor, and the red sangria leaned far too sweet as well. What really disappointed me, though, was the lack of some essentials. They were out of tortilla, the cheesecake was already gone, and most surprising of all no patatas bravas. For a tapas place, being out of patatas bravas felt almost unforgivable. Prices were also on the high side: we ended up paying around $90 per person, which felt steep given the uneven food quality and missing staples. Maybe I just came on an unlucky night, but it’s hard to understand how such a well-known tapas dish could be unavailable. In short: good seafood options, but the sweetness of some dishes, lack of key tapas, and high prices made it a tough one to fully recommend."
"Great food and kind staff in a cozy setup. The record store in the back with books and cassettes was perfect for the short wait before we got seated. Food was super flavorful and every dish hit the spot. The asparagus and mussels were our favorite. The paella took a while but was well worth the wait. Side note: not sure if there are cats on premise, but my sister claims she felt a little tingle of her cat allergy. 10/10 for a calm chat and chow!"
"By far one of the best places to eat in Boston. It’s crazy it isn’t considered a short lister for a Michelin Star. The paella mixta alone is worth the visit, they have a robust drinks menu, and all the tapas are excellent (and always changing). Start with the blistered shishito peppers."
"Tres Gatos is more than just a restaurant; it's a whole experience! This cozy, colorful spot is incredibly intimate and specializes in delicious Spanish tapas meant for sharing. We savored every bite, especially the Mussels in their wonderful chorizo-infused sauce. The Mushroom Paella was a delight in both flavor and texture, and the Peri Peri Chicken, with its fantastic dry rub, offered a true Iberian taste. The real unique charm? The tiny book and music shop tucked away in the back! My advice: book a table in advance (it's always bustling – a good sign!) and make time to explore the shop. It's a romantic, small gem that creates a truly memorable evening."
