| - Tapagria provides some very "standard" tapas. But I don't think this is a good thing. Everything tasted decent/good, but there was no WOW factor that makes me want to come here over and over again.
My table ordered several dishes of cold and hot tapas that the server recommended.
The good:
-Jamon Wrapped Dates: Probably the most unique and tasty dish we ordered. It was sweet from the dates and savoury from the bacon.
-Roasted Bone Marrow: I thought this was nicely done. It was very "buttery" feeling which goes well with the bread provided. But there wasn't a lot of bone marrow for the amount of bread they gave (not a huge deal but I would have loved to have more).
-Pintxo Trio: This was the most similar to the tapas I have had in Barcelona. 3 pieces of bread with toppings including foie pate, smoked eggplant, and avocado jamon. I liked the foie pate one, but I was told the smoked eggplant had a funny taste.
-Both their desserts were really good! The Spanish Toast was like a creme brulee, and the churros were nicely fried.
The average:
-Spanish meatballs: I don't know why this is on the menu (but we ordered it anyways ha!). It's so....AVERAGE! It was just tiny meatballs covered in tomato sauce and cheese. Nothing special. It didn't taste bad or anything, but....why???
-Spicy octopus: Octopus with a tomato-like sauce that is slightly spicier than the meatball one. Again, it wasn't like it tasted bad, but it was not memorable.
-Grilled calamari: average. Like any other and made like any other.
-Tender steak fillet: Steak with caramelized onion and (I think) fried taro crisps. It was decent but, (again), not memorable.
-Paella De Tapagria: I was excited for this because they said it takes 45 minutes to prepare. Even so, it came out "just warm". It looked pretty good and tasted alright.
Maybe I'm just super picky. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Standard can be good, but I was really hoping for some transformative, unique, "sophisticated" tapas (yeah, who am I?!?!). Nothing in particular in the menu stood out. But hey, everything tasted pretty decent.
As for service, staff were friendly. We asked for some recommendations but the server did not sell the tapas very well. I don't usually expect servers to know every ingredient in a dish, but it would have been nice if she gave us some idea about what the dishes are like.
...Or maybe she didn't have to, cause I guess you can't really go into much detail about meatballs.
