I absolutely love coming here. There’s small plates and big plates, some yummy pizzas, delicious desserts and thirst-quenching cocktails. My personal fave is the Purple Rain. Service has always been impeccable. They have an outdoor seating area that has a nice view of the Rappahannock.

Decided to give this place a try as I searched for a place downtown Fredericksburg that I had not tried before. Absolutely surprised with how nice the place looked. Plenty of parking, and the food was really good. Got there at start of Happy Hour and believe me when I say, my drink was fantastic. Highly recommend giving this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Stopped in as we were driving through town and I’m so glad we did! We got the paella marisco which was delicious! The atmosphere was great, the view from our table was lovely, and parking was a breeze since they have a lot to the side of the building. 10/10 will be returning!

We didnt have any issues with finsing street parking. Cute little restaurant with outdoor seating. We didnt have any problems walking in with the 4 of us and sat immediately. It was quite with some music. Service was friendly but just a little slow.

We ordered a variety of dishes including: Chorizo al Vino Tinto, Spiendini, Patatas con Aioli, Croquettes, Gambas a la Plancha, Gambas al Ajillo, Albondigas, Carne Pizza, and Paella de Carne and the Zeppole for dessert.

We loved the Chorizo al Vino Tinto and the Spiendini. Both were delicious and well seasoned. The Gambas a la Plancha had a very good chimichurri sauce and the Albondigas were very flavorful.

The Paella came out quickly but it wasn’t my favorite. It wasn’t like a traditional Paella and there were olives and red onions. Overall still ok, and the Gambas al Ajillo had a sweetness to it. The Carne Pizza was good though.

My friend ordered the cocktail Purple Rain and he enjoyed it. We did like most of the items ans would definitely come back to try the other dishes.

Been here many times and always enjoy it. Outside or inside, it’s a pleasant setting. It does have a European vibe. The people are attentive and the food excellent. We sometimes just get several small plates to share though the paella is pretty good!

I went here for lunch with a group of friends. The food selection was very good; everyone ordered something different and enjoyed their meals. The restaurant has a terrific view. Modest parking lot, but there is a free city lot super close. The server was either having a bad day or doesn’t like his job. He was abrupt, impatient and seemed annoyed when we had questions about the menu or anything else.

The gratuity was added on because we had a large group, but when the credit cards were swiped there was a space for gratuity, so some of my friends inadvertently tipped twice.

Tapa Rio was a very good choice for our family dinner. The menu offers a nice variety of options and the smaller plate offerings, allows for the opportunity to try several different choices. The paella is highly recommended, the shrimp, mussels and scallops were all very tasty. The lamb meatballs are a must try as well. The steak was tender and flavorful. The flatbreads look delicious and will have to be tried on the next trip. The server was friendly and the atmosphere is pleasing. We will definitely be returning and I suggest you give it a try as well.

We had the pleasure of celebrating my daughter’s college graduation at Tapa Rio with a group of 25 family members and friends. It was a lunch buffet setup with drinks, which looked great and tasted even better. Management did an amazing job at helping us coordinate the event and delivered above expectations. We highly recommend booking your next group gathering here.

I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of Tapa Rio and I must have more. The pizzaiolo was perfectly cooked and the paella was full of flavor. The value was surprisingly good, from the reasonably priced wines to the generously portioned entrees and small plates. The service was charmingly authentic. We will be back!
