Tomiño Taberna Gallega

Everything was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. Lunch for two. Celebrating a birthday. We ate: croquetas de jamón, lamb chops, vegetables with egg, Piquillos Rellenos de Bacalao, Cigalas a la Plancha Langoustines and the bread-great for dipping! We also had tasty palomas made with reposado. The service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return and try more items on this menu. With tip under $150.

Asked Reddit for “affordable but legit tapas near the slipper room” and it didnt steer me wrong with Tomino! Went with my partner and 2 friends - definitely make a reservation bc they are busy! We had a great experience.<br>All of our dishes were delicious - was especially impressed w the octopus - it was tender and had a great flavor. It’s always a gamble ordering 🐙 in the US (often chewy) but the octopus at Tomino was excellent!<br>We got:<br>The pan con tomate<br>Octopus<br>Mushroom croquettes<br>Potato tortilla<br>Branzino<br>We spent under $200 for the 4 of us, including drinks.<br>Service was great, attentive and we didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious, food was amazing, we ordered so much (Jamon Serrano, pan con tomate, green peppers, octopus, cheese board, palamos shrimp- which was the only dish we didn't like so much, but that's just personal taste- it was sweet and had strong seafood taste..and for dessert we had raspberry crepe), but I see we will have to come back and try more dishes 😅.. I recommend a bottle of wine, we got malvasia. Service was great, Luis was very attentive.

So happy I finally found an authentic tapas restaurant in nyc. BEST PAN CON TOMATE. Amazing squid ink rice. The wine selection is affordable (comparably) and exquisite. The staff is top notch. Will recommend to everyone looking for delicious food

Nothing beats a day that starts with world-class theatre and ends with world-class hospitality. Seeing the cast of Dog Day Afternoon was a masterclass in acting.I headed to my favorite spot, Tomiño Taberna Gallega. There is no better way to unwind than with a Moscow Mule, a cold Estrella Galicia, and their consistently exquisite Galician flavors. I have to give a special shoutout to my waiter, Fernando, who truly elevates the entire experience. He is the gold standard for hospitality—so attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. He has a way of making every visit feel like a special occasion.

An enjoyable experience and definitely recommended. Friendly and attentive service. The ribs and sausage were our overall favorite although everything was tasty.

This a bit of a mixed review.<br>The good: drinks, service and ambiance<br>Food was hit or miss.<br>The pulpo was tender, though felt a bit slimy for my wife.<br>The rice with squid ink was full of flavour, but squid super chewy, but very good nonetheless.<br>The empanada was nice, smoky and pastry crispy. The Croquetas were freshly fried, good but not great. The Jamon was hard to find in the Croquetas, and Jamon flavour was imperceptible. Not bad, just had a ton better.<br><br>The biggest disappointment was the Jamon Iberico de Bellota 5 Jota. Normally, melt in your mouth goodness! This wasn’t. Never mind that it was cut too thick, but the vast majority of the pieces that were cut were 1. Dry and rubbery, 2. RANCID. The white fatty part of the Jamon was yellow and dry, the meaty part leathery chewy, and likely the result of inexperienced carver or bad storage conditions for the Jamon. Either way, super disappointing. It was inedible. We paid and walked out.

This restaurant is probably the best Spanish food I have had in the US.<br><br>Every tapas dish was full of flavor. The squid rice was especially amazing and really brought out the sweet seafood taste.<br><br>The servers were very responsible. They did not just come by to check on the food like in many other restaurants. They actually paid attention to our eating pace and coordinated well with the kitchen on when dishes came out. Compared to servers who are just friendly and smiling, these staff were much more professional. This kind of service made me willing to leave a higher tip.<br><br>The only small downside was that there was a company event on the same day. The restaurant was very noisy and crowded. Even though I had a reservation, we were still affected by other guests. Luckily, the food and service were excellent. Otherwise, the dining environment would need some improvement.

Love coming back here time and time again. Best pulpo a feira I’ve tried. So lovely. Possibly the best way to connect with my Galician roots while living in NYC.

I saw the seafood platter online and it looked absolutely mouth watering, so I went the very next day. Big mistake. The shrimp were mushy, which already tells you the seafood wasn’t fresh. The scallops were way too salty, drowned in olive oil to the point where all the natural flavor was gone. The cigala was relatively fresh but tasted like nothing. In short, it is a feast for the camera, not for the taste buds. That said, the rest of the dishes were actually decent. The potato and egg mash was silky smooth. The lamb chops were perfectly seared, though I wasn’t a fan of that brown sauce. The pork chop had a lovely creamy sauce that worked really well. The interior was nice enough, cozy but not too fancy. Still, I would probably hesitate before going back again

I have been so excited to try this restaurant and to be honest, I was disappointed. I spent my summers going to Galicia since I was a kid and was looking for a taste of Galicia. Tomiño fell short. The tortilla and croquetas were the only two food items that hit the mark. The empanadas de atún were overly salty(which was a recurring theme throughout the meal) and the main ingredients weren’t given the chance to shine. If anything they tasted more like chorizo than atún. The churrasco with chimichurri was dry, and the chimichurri lacked freshness or the bold flavors classically associated with the sauce. The zamburiñas and plancha board with langostinos and prawns were ok, but they were lathered with a green sauce that was essentially pure salt. The freshness and sweetness of the seafood did not come through. The mushrooms with grapes were a strange combination and the grapes were unnecessary. The arroz caldoso was a bit of a brighter spot in the meal but again lacked those classic Spanish flavors and the seafood flavor did not impart on the rice. The lobster was the best out of the seafood we ate however and was sweet and well cooked. The filloas were a waste of time. The ice cream they came with quite literally tasted like nothing and just served to cool the palate. You can go get crepes anywhere else that will be better . But overall the food, was just fine. For the cost of the meal, I expected better, and like in most Spanish cooking, I expected the simplicity of the ingredients to shine through more. However, the most annoying part of the dinner was that we were being rushed through the meal. We learned it was because they turn the main dining room into a dancing area at night. I walked to the bathroom and before I returned, a staff member demanded we pay before I even got back from the bathroom. My friends had to get my credit card from my bag in my absence because of how insistent they were on us paying quickly and moving out. It made the tail end of the meal very displeasing. I was eating lobster when my plate and utensils were taken away. Horrible service and a true insult to Galician hospitality. The music they played wasn’t even that good. Outside of getting drinks, I don’t think I would return to tomiño.

Tomiño Taberna Gallega is absolutely amazing! The beer (Estrella Galicia 1906 Reserva Especial) was so 👍 good — crisp, smooth, and perfectly poured. A must-have if you visit!<br><br>I also had the fried squid, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly crispy, tender inside, and topped with a flavorful green sauce that made it unforgettable. Pairing it with the fresh bread on the side was perfect.<br><br>The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Spanish flavors in NYC. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We were at the Feast of San Gennaro and needed a break, when we stumbled onto Tomino, a lovely "taverna Gallega" on Grand St. opposite Ferrara's. A beautiful cozy interior with a bar near the entrance, and Fernando concocted some delicious cocktails for us. Our go-tos are margaritas and Old Fashioneds, and both were <chef's kiss> so good! Photos are below. We stayed for two drinks each and we promised to come back for their tapas and dinner menu. Everything sounded wonderful so this is definitely going to be worth a return visit for food (as well as more cocktails!)

The food was outstanding, but the service was poor. My friend and I felt unwelcome from the moment we arrived. There was no greeting, no explanation of the menu, and no follow-up throughout our meal. Food runners made us feel rushed, and when we asked for a moment to decide on dessert, our server bluntly told us, “I need this table in 15 minutes.” I don’t think a 20%+ tip suggestion is justifiable when customers are only deemed as ATMs.

We came here for a late lunch. Able to get a table without having a reservation. The food was delicious we had olives, the peppers, octopus, tortilla (runny eggs),croquettes, and the scallops. Everything was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend wine drinks and beer selection. Also good. There’s a gluten-free beer option and it would be easy to make a meal gluten-free here.
