Cle Elum Taps & Tapas

It was a miss for me and maybe it was just an off day for them? We came here based on the Google reviews and other locals who had tried it. We went on a Sunday, a little before noon. There were 7 of us, 4 kids. When we walked in it smelt like either strong cleaner or Raid… it was overpowering for someone who had a sensitive nose. There were quite a few flies around. We sat along the window, which I would recommend only doing if you want to be very warm in the sun.. they are older windows with no glazing or shades. Anyway, to the food and service. We immediately received waters, and had our food order taken. The main item we hoped to share with the kids were chips and dip, but they were all out of homemade Guacamole, so that was a no go. We ordered patas bravas, el pastor taco, and asparagus. They Bravas and asparagus were really good, but the el pastor meat was dry and over cooked. Most taco trucks do a better job with tacos. The service was very slow, with only one waitress and a full house. We wanted a rose, which was a Spanish rose, but in a can. They did not have an actual wine glass, it was more of a beer glass. Been to too many tapas restaurants, maybe I am being to critical? Either way, I don’t recommend but had to try it once!

We got there around 9 on a Saturday night. They were getting ready to close but welcomed us in. The nachos and potatoes were BOMB! The ccok and guy running the front of the house were helpful and knowledgeable in regards to the art I asked about (phenomenal art and ambiance here). We enjoyed our food and drinks very much. Will definitely return!

Got the patatas brava, potato tacos and chicken tacos. Loved all three items, especially the vegetarian taco option, it was delicious.
