Manolo Tapas Menu
Spanish RestaurantManolo Tapas at 4165 Broadway in Washington Heights offers a classic Spanish dining experience centered on shareable tapas, hearty paellas, fresh seafood, grilled meats, salads, and traditional desserts. The current official menu ranges from approachable small plates such as Patatas Bravas ($10) and Tortilla Española ($13) to premium specialties including Jamón Ibérico Pata Negra ($34), Churrasco a la Parrilla ($41), and seafood-focused paellas up to $49.
Standouts include the slow-cooked Paella Valenciana, charcoal-grilled Churrasco, Chorizo al Jerez, and delicately marinated Boquerones. Imported Spanish ingredients, extra-virgin olive oil, Jerez vinegar, saffron, Manchego cheese, and quality cured meats give the food an authentic character with savory, smoky, tangy, and aromatic flavors. The generous paellas and shareable tapas provide especially good value for relaxed dinners and group meals. Vegetarian diners have options such as Patatas Bravas, Setas al Ajillo, salads, and Paella Vegetariana, while grilled chicken, vegetables, and seafood provide lighter choices. Gluten-free requirements should be confirmed directly with the restaurant because preparation details are not clearly identified on the menu. The restaurant currently opens in the afternoon rather than serving breakfast, making it best suited to dinner, tapas sharing, and group gatherings.
