The gambas were flavorless and very oily. We requested salt and once we added it, the flavor popped. I got the steak and it was a strip of steak a little bit larger than my thumb and it was covered in oil as well and cost $20. The beet dish with gazpacho puree was excellent., as was the calamari. The wine list is contains wines at all price points and is well selected. However, the font on both the wine list and the menu is tiny; combined with a dark dining area makes it very difficult to read. People were pulling their phones out on both the left and the right of us. Our waitress was very professional and prompt. The runners were sullen teenagers. Price per person: $100+

Mateo Bar de Tapas is an excellent restaurant that I highly recommend. Situated in the heart of downtown Durham, the restaurant has delicious Spanish and Southern cuisine in a chic yet cozy atmosphere. I adored the décor, and the employees were very welcoming. My party and I ordered various tapas to share with the table: the pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus), ensalada pipirrana, calamares fritos (fried calamari), and the “mixto” option for the cheese and jamón charcuterie platter. For the platter, we ordered serrano and chorizo for our two jamón options alongside the Manchego and Carolina Moon cheeses. The food was served as it was prepared; we would have a couple tapa plates at a time. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse, crème brûlée, and cappuccinos. The cappuccinos were amazing and a wonderful way to end a lovely meal. Though somewhat expensive, I felt the prices were worth the excellent service and the high quality (and very reasonable quantity) of the food. Mateo Bar de Tapas is a deservingly popular restaurant, so I would recommend making a reservation several days in advance, if not more. In terms of parking, there is a small lot right next to the restaurant. That said, parking in Durham can be sometimes tricky as downtown is often crowded in the evening with Durham residents enjoying all their city has to offer! My party and I used a rideshare app for transportation to and from the restaurant, which proved to be very convenient for us.
