  • 1252 Tapas

    9595 Six Pines Dr., Spring Outside Houston

    281-419-1260

    1252 Tapas is a highly adult space on a highly family-friendly stretch of The Woodland's verdant Market Square, with a patio that overlooks the spacious lawn and beckons to tired adults with sangria-centered happy hours and indulgent tapas dishes that the kids would hate: baby octopus cooked in its ink or grilled morcilla - blood sausage - with apple sauce and Dijon mustard. There's no need to travel inside the Loop when there's elegant food and décor to be found right down the street at 1252 Tapas.

  • Batanga

    908 Congress Ave. Downtown/ Midtown

    713-224-9500

    With a fresh revitalization of the food and bar program from chef Rishi Singh (formerly of Boheme Café and Wine Bar and Dry Creek Café) and bartender Jojo Martinez (who recently worked at The Nightingale Room), Batanga is now even more poised to become a lasting part of the hip, new downtown bar and restaurant scene. Intriguing flavor combinations packed into small plates make Batanga a fun place to try new things, especially with specials like Singh’s beautifully-balanced mussels dish packed with coconut water, coconut milk, chimichurri, lime and sofrito. The large, charming back patio is the perfect place to liver over tapas with friends, while live music most nights of the week and refreshingly good, knock-your-socks off cocktails will keep you coming back for more.

  • Majorca

    207 W. Gray Downtown/ Midtown

    832-582-7176

    The tapas at Majorca are more strongly influenced by North Africa than at any other tapas bar in town, and it works to its advantage. Albondigas, or meatballs, are fat and filling — especially when topped with a fried egg — and the merguez lamb that features in many dishes is wonderful when tucked into a crusty sandwich. The sangria is so good, you'll want to go ahead and order a pitcher and down it with friends on the patio fronting Midtown's busiest street.

    3919 Essex Lane Montrose

    8327153182

  • Nobie's

    2048 Colquitt St Montrose

    346-319-5919

    Nobie’s opened late November of 2016 in the space formerly occupied by Au Petit Paris on Colquitt and Shepherd, where casual cool Montrose technically collides with hip and trendy Upper Kirby and the comfortable affluence of River Oaks. Much like its epicentric location, Martin Stayer’s menu reflects what’s hot, what’s about to be hotter and what never goes out of style, with a charming staff and an equally charming vinyl playlist that keeps them coming back. Bar manager Sarah Troxell’s daily libations, always $10 each and usually sporting delightfully witty names, are not to be missed. Manager and sommelier Dom Ruiz always seems to be on sight to recommend a perfect pairing for the meal or at least the most interesting way to consume the vino. The small plates and appetizers are delicious; try the old-fashioned chicken liver mousse and steak tartare.

  • Tintos Spanish Restaurant and Wine Bar

    2015 W. Gray River Oaks

    713-522-1330

    River Oaks' Tintos blends both Spanish standards such as albondigas and patatas bravas with its own twists on traditional tapas, such as esparragos gratinados topped with crab meat, red peppers and a poached egg or green apple slices drizzled with honey and topped with crumbles of blue cheese. Even the dessert menu features some fun twists, like a chocolate flan that's rich with both caramel and cocoa flavors. The wine list is, predictably, Spanish-heavy but features some good deals as well as a wonderful ruby Port to end your meal.
