Master Critic Review

Tapas 54 Wine Room 7.6
Hell's Kitchen
A tiny, low-key wine-and-tapas room blending Spanish small-plate format with Dominican and Caribbean accents. It’s a good pre/post-theater stop for sharing bites, and the cozy scale makes it feel like a neighborhood secret.
Must-Try Dishes: Ham croquettes, Grilled pulpo, Chorizo & gambas with tostones
