Tapa Rio

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. Overal

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!
