Si Tapas & Spanish Cuisine

Restaurant Review: Si Tapas Restaurant and Bar

Si Tapas has a lot going for it. For one thing, Ildefonso Jimenez’s place is located in a darling old house in the bustling State-Thomas neighborhood, so it’s long on charm and pretty patrons. And then there’s the menu, filled with familiar Spanish hot and cold tapas, such as shrimp in garlic, cod croquettes, tortilla, paella, and assorted Spanish cheeses and olives. So, then, it’s too bad that...

Si Tapas is, hands down, the best tapas and Spanish food restaurant in Dallas. It is very popular and they don’t take reservations for small parties so be prepared to wait. A pitcher of sangria will take care of that. Service is quick and friendly. This is one of the very few places in Dallas, if not the only one, where one can eat morcilla (black pudding). The cheese and cold cut selections...

The plating and portions were underwhelming, and some of the flavors weren't what we were hoping for either, and not in a good way. I don't think I'd return. Service was really nice though.

Beautiful Location & Great Decor. Si Tapas is an old house with tons of character. The decor is a combination of heavy old woods, open spaces, wine racks and Spanish paraphernalia. The main floor is split into two tiers. The backside of the house steps down to a multi window room that looks out on the patio and extensive green backyard. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria. It came in a capped...

I love this place! The menu is traditional Spanish/Mediterranean fare with specialties like seared tuna and Paella. The building is one of the few remaining homes that has been renovated to a charming, homey feel that sports a great back patio with a view of the dog park and Dallas skyline. Owners are avid soccer fans. Great selection of wine. A must for those trying to break out of the steak...

All the dishes i tried was soso except the dessert. Oxtail stew was tasteless. Green bean with bacon, mushroom, shrimp were all just average. Portion was super small and their sangria tasted like walmart brand. The bread pudding was great. I prefer the food at cafe madrid but the Si Tapas's decor is better

Tough choice whether to rate this place 3 or 4 stars. All experiences except my most recentone have been positive so I'll say yes to four. Really it was only service that needed work, not the food. Si Tapas isn't a place to get full if it's just two people. Prices aren't cheap, nor should they be for the menu items …

The humble exterior leads to a pleasant surprise when you open the door. Quaint, and very Spanish decor. The back of the restaurant is like a covered patio. Very romantic. The owner seemed disconnected from his clientele... or maybe just a plain old 'Machista Madrileño'. The Pulpo Gallego was awesome, as was the cheese and meat platter... yum... membrillo.

This cheerful and friendly joint in an old Uptown cottage has an authentic Spanish vibe. As the name suggests, the focus is on tapas — a fine way to sample a broad range of dishes — and here they’re mostly carefully and even imaginatively prepared.

Si Tapas is a refreshing break from "the scene." Instead of frat boys yelling and girls wobbling around in too-short dresses and too-tall heels, you'll find some peace and quiet, an extensive wine and tequila list (which includes pink tequila), and a delicious menu, a twinkle-lit patio, perfect for warm summer nights.
