Tres Gatos

Loved trying this cozy tapas restaurant in the heart of Jamaica Plain. The meat and cheese are top notch, the chicken liver mousse was amazing..service was great too.

Excellent food and great service. The staff was friendly . Didn't have any food I didn't like. Highly recommend the boquerones. We had 3 ordered our table shared. Don't miss the Serrano ham either.

Menu is not impressive; but everything we tried was pretty good. Particularly enjoyed the chickpea fritters and lamb burger . Nice cozy place. Check out their vinyl record collection at the back.

The food is excellent to share and taste different dishes with your guests. The staff is very friendly , attentive and knowledgeable . The ambience very much alive! Great place to visit!

Fantastic tapas and record store . The prawns come in a rich, roasted tomato sauce that's hard to get enough of

Excellent food and drinks. Super cute fun atmosphere . Love the “Kitty’s got claws” cocktail and every dish was 🔥. Highly recommend.

Amazing tapas ! Best I've had in Boston. There's also a great book/record store in back. Loved my bartender too!

Cozy outdoor seating and cool collaboration with book/record shop next door. Food/drink on the expensive end vs peers in the neighborhood .

Gambas-perfectly cooked- heads on-not to much garlic . Skate was the second best item on the menu. The chocolate covered almonds were surprisingly delicious-salt and sweet in perfect harmony.

(Best of Boston 2013-JAMAICA PLAIN) Improper Bostonian says, "The darling of Centre Street, this record shop/bookstore/tapas restaurant hybrid brings the best of three worlds under one old roof."

Amazing tapa place . Went here for brunch and it was great! Food was great, coffee was sooo good, and the waitress was very attentive

Enjoy small-plate staples (patatas bravas ), entree-size delicacies (grilled Vermont quail ), and spot-on desserts (churros and hot chocolate ) with your Bob Dylan.

Yummy tapas ! Get the patatas bravas . Also call ahead to reserve a table for dinner as it fills up quick here.

Watch out! Sangria is not sangria . It's a kind of soft drink . But the three tapas we tried were great, tasty. Patatas bravas , recommended.

I can’t say enough about this place. Every time we eat here we are just blown away by how great the food is. Fun atmosphere .

They riff effectively on the tapas tradition- try the prawns in a Catalan sauce, grilled bavette steak , and the churros (with an intense Mexican chocolate sauce) Read more

It’s a record store ! It’s a bookstore ! It’s a tapas bar ! Somehow these three concepts combine to make the ideal JP hangout. It might not work if the food weren’t great, but it is. Read more

Outstanding dishes. Cozy atmosphere . I have to take issue with the $$ rating, however. It's at least $$$ or even $$$$.

Mary is super helpful in walking you through the menu and making recommendations. Our favorites were lamb meat balls , confit chicken and asparagus .

incredible! every time! 6 tapas for 2 people is usually perfect.

Great selection of tapas to try out with friends!

The hash . And the bartenders . Oh yeah - and the chickpea fritters .

The chickpea fritters and the lamb were delicious.

I love the phils! Don't forget to check out the book and record store before you leave!!

Great tapas and amazing mixology

Changing seasonal menu , fantastic staff and bar .

Roasted bone marrow was awesome, so decadent

I recommend sitting at the bar ! Try lamb hamburger ...

Ryan the cook is so warm. He let us watch him in action. Visit the kitchen and say hi to Ryan. Nicest guy ever.

Really cool record shop in the back.

The paella and the peppers were standouts.

Amazing flavors!! Grilled asparagus with egg and prawns are a must have.

Best dish: Gambas al Ajillo !

Get the chickpea pancakes . Amazing!

Nice atmosphere, decent but not stellar tapas , and slightly iffy service. Overall a good experience, but too pricey .

This is random, but they have the best pickles in the world. Not kidding.

Love this place. Everything is good.

Lamb 's tongue with creamy grits ... Do it!

Those lamb sliders are off the hook!

The bocarones are amazing

Kale-and-sausage bowl with yellow-eyed peas .

a smidge pricey , but sooo worth it.

Probably the nicest staff ever!

Great drinks.

Never disappoints

I remember *before* this was Roseway Books .
