Sat at the bar in the white and black room. Angel took care of us. Amazing drinks. Made him choose our tapas for 2!! Great selection. Food was great. Ask for Angel!!!!

Fantastic Tapas and paella. We did the meal for two and added some additonal tapas. The mussels were great, and the lamb lollipops and octupus were the best I've eaten. The firecracker lobster paella was delicious and highly recommend. The flan that we chose for dessert was the creamiest flan I have ever had. Great food, good value!

My husband and I went tonight for a belated Valentine's Day dinner. The food and the service was amazing! Our waiter, Patrick, was so friendly and helpful, especially with helping me find which foods were safe to eat due to a gluten allergy. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We will absolutely return.

This place is a gem. Decor is great and there's several different rooms - each with a different vibe. We order the party of two - 6 tapas. We had reservations (highly recommend) and it was very busy..and likely the reason our dishes were staggered so much. (Up to 15 mins after getting first one and never received more than two at a time.) Food was great though. Loved everything except the cauliflower steak - this was a bit dry and needed some accompanying sauce.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Worcester area. The food is delicious, service is always impeccable, and the ambiance is comfortable and classy. This is the first time we ate here on a weekday and I have a couple of comments. The 7 tapas we ordered came out all at once and warm not hot so it seemed like they were reheated not made fresh. They were delicious but we felt rushed to eat things quick. Not quite the idea of having tapas. We ordered from their monthly special the pub house cauliflower steak. From their regular menu, we ordered their charcuteria y queso board consisting of their fried goat cheese, manchego cheese, salchicha de pollo, jamon serrano, and chorizo leon herradura. For tapas, we ordered gambas al ajillo, bolas de arroz frito con mozzarella, chuletas de cordero, pulpo a feira, Casamiento, and tortilla espanola. For dessert we ordered the flan and churros. Everything was delicious and there are definitely other tapas and paellas that we did not have a chance to try. Definitely consider one of the Bocado Experiences. They advertise free valet parking from Wednesday through Sunday and free validated parking at the lot across the street but we did not find either.

Have heard this is a place to try. Tapas place in a sketchy area. As they say the area is it's up and coming. They offer free valet, you can also park yourself at nearby lot. The place has a romantic adult feeling. This is the type of place to relax and enjoy your meal. If your child doesn't behave, don't take them. Sat at the bar area, since it was busy. Figured it would be the fastest service. Our sever was attentive and friendly, as the rest of the staff. Loved the team environment. Tired a few tapas. The warm potato salad was amazing. A must try, not over saucy and crowded. Second the rice balls with mozzarella (Arancini) Wagyu Hamburgers were delicious and flavorful for the size. Last tried the pollo a la plancha with a feta salad. Not a fan of cucumbers. This was flavorful, the chicken was moist and the items meshed well together. I can't remember the last plate, it was a marinated beef with Yukon potatoes. Melts on your mouth. This is a must try on a date night.

Food was all very tasty. Service was phenomenal and very fast. I swear we ordered and before we know it our food order came out. We got TRUFFLE SALCHICHON , JEREZ PANCETA DE CERDO A LA BRASA, PATATAS ASADAS, CASAMIENTO, and finally 2 desserts: The brownie and the churros. We were so satisfied and content after our meal. Will be coming back.

We visited Bocado Tapas Wine Bar during Worcester Restaurant Week and tried several tapas. The standout was the octopus, which had a great smoky flavor and was perfectly tender. We also loved the mussels; the sauce was incredible, and we wished we could have poured it over everything else. The other dishes were decent, but we wouldn't recommend the butterscotch bread pudding--it was a bit dense and too sweet for our taste. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and the staff was kind, though it was busier due to Restaurant Week. Overall, a good spot that is fairly affordable for tapas!

Bocado simply does not miss. I've probably been here 20+ times and never had a bad meal. The food tastes fresh, is always hot, and comes out quickly. Service is stellar -- Luke the manager and Bailey on waitstaff go above and beyond to make sure guests are happy. The restaurant recently expanded the space to include an outdoor patio with heaters. Must-get tapas: - fried goat cheese - mozzarella rice balls - remolachas asadas - patatas asadas - lamb chops
