About
Inspired by the bar and dining atmosphere of Spain, and specifically by our sister restaurant in Madrid (El Rinconcito de Juan), we offer a down to earth and authentic approach to the Spanish eating culture. In a style that can be compared with the one of Japanese “Izakayas”, Spanish tabernas (a combination of bar and restaurant) are the perfect places for people to enjoy some drinks accompanied with traditional snacks at the bar counter or for those that want a more traditional sitting-down dining experience. At “El Tapeo” you will be able to taste some of the best Spanish plates and snacks, together with a wide selection of wines (both by the glass or by bottle), beer (draught and bottled) and other Spanish-inspired drinks and cocktails.

A visit in the first week of post covid lockdown, so our expectations were not excessive. But we were pleasantly surprised. The menu is extensive and genuine, the wine list truly excellent, the interiors perfectly suited to distancing, and the precautions adequate. All of which created a relaxing atmosphere allowing one to enjoy the company we had. If anything the table was too small to accommodate the multiple dishes that were ordered. In my dreams I’d hoped for more authentic Spanish seafood, but the chef makes a very good substitute with local ingredients, and obviously it’s too much to expect imports at this time. Recommended for all lovers of things Spanish!

This is the best Spanish food I've had in Bangkok, with really friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Which is why I keep going back! Meatballs, garlic prawns, baked Camembert are 3 of my favorites. The tostas with various toppings are great to share. Then there's anchovies, sardines, calamaris, pork belly... Yummy! The house wine is reasonably priced and very drinkable. Some of their more expensive bottles are quite brilliant, if you need to splash out.

We were in the area and weren’t sure where to go for dinner. We had walked by this place many times and decided to try it. The place was busy when we went in and was packed when we left, with a big party on top floor and all the tables on G/F and 1/F all occupied. There was happy hour for sangria but I chose the house white wine which I thought was a mistake as it’s not quite my taste. Sangria looked good though and was very popular. We had the tostatas which were okay. But the anchovies as starters were tasty - salty and very garlicky which we loved. The squid ink paella was worth the wait. I was so full but still scooped up every bit I could get from the pan. We finished off the meal with the home made vanilla ice cream with cherries which turned out to be a great decision as it was really nice and the taste of the cherries really came through well. The place just had all the vibes that evening with so many people. We had a wonderful meal and a lovely evening. Service was great! We will return for sure to have the paella and the ice cream again!

Don't have the welcoming feeling, staff don't really smile, even pass the bill within a single word. The sangria was a let down, thought it was rather dilute, so didn't order dishes to try further. Funny thing, the boss ( I assumed since he is the only Spanish) is using cloth to dry down every single plates and utensils, the local staff are standing around chitchatting.

This used to be one of my favourite restaurants when it was at its old location on Thonglor, so I was super excited to visit their new location this weekend. However, it was a huge disappointment. First of all the sangria was weak and watery, nothing like it used to be. The food came out so fast it seemed microwaved and the quality and portion sizes had both gone down. The gambas al ajillo had hardly any prawns at all in the dish! And all 4 dishes we tried were lacking in flavour. One dish was forgotten (calamari) but we were so disappointed we didn’t bother to request it again. Most of our group were uncomfortably hot (despite the fact we chose to sit in) and the aircon above us was dripping water on one friend’s head…! Overall, the restaurant looks very nice in terms of decoration, but the whole experience does not live up to the appearance.

El Tapeo moved from Thonglor to Soi 61 where there is a 2 story house and a garden, meaning much more space. I went there with my daughter and even though we had booked an indoor table we opted for a table in the garden. The restaurant was quite busy with 3 bigger groups. Wine selection, a bottle of red wine, the first 3 choices I had were not available, luckily the fourth choice was available and it was good. We had the Burrata cheese salad with roasted ham, it was so-so. As main dish we had the Seafood Paella which was a letdown, I didn't have a Paella since ages, possibly the preparation changed since that time because the taste and consistency was completely different. The service was attentive. I might visit El Tapeo again and try some other dishes, maybe the chef had a bad day. The very tight toilets are upstairs, steep stairs to the 2nd floor where there are tables too.

Great as always. Food, service, atmosphere all great as usual. Happy to be back here after Covid and see it back to its old days Only shortfall is the male waiter on 3rd floor who is super intrusive and does not get the idea of how to be a waiter. He keeps standing next to the table staring at the guests listening in the conversations.

El Tapeo in Thonglor is a lovely place. I liked the atmosphere and the for was great. Every dish we had was TOP ! Service was friendly and good ! good wine menu. Everything really good. The only thing I did not like were the hard chairs which make sitting uncomfortable and the table legs were a bit funny and clumsy. Recommend to change !!

Excellent food and very friendly atmosphere. The Paella (Valencia) was very good and the grilled Camembert were the highlight. Pity we could not have Sangria (due to Covid19 restrictions)!

So gooood Paella Seafood is so good. It is well seasoned. The rice is soft on the top and crispy at the bottom. Cheese salad is fantastic. I’ll revisit for sure.
