NYC | Chelsea's Best Spanish Tapas! 🍤✨

Hiii everyone, welcome back to my "What to Eat" channel! 😆 Recently visited a friend in NYC who took me to her go-to Spanish spot—the one she brings every visiting friend to. And now I get why! 🟢 PIPPERAK Think blistered shishito peppers—wrinkled, fire-roasted, and sprinkled with sea salt. A solid starter! 🌶️ Most are mild, but I somehow landed the one super-spicy pepper in the batch (lucky me!). 🟡 HOT JILDA Two skewers of flavor! 🍢 One with Japanese sausage + Mexican chili, the other with onion + olive, all paired with mustard sauce. So tasty! Eat each in one bite to experience all the layers. 🟠 QUISQUILAS Crispy fried whole shrimp 🦐, seasoned simply with salt and served with a garlic-yuzu dip. Crunchy, savory, and perfect with beer! 🍺 🔵 PULPO Thinly sliced octopus with olive oil—tender, delicate, and absolutely delicious. A must-order! 💙 🟤 ARROZ MELOSO Their signature rice dish! 🥘 Uni, shrimp, and enoki mushrooms meld together in this rich, savory risotto. Heaven for rice lovers. 🔴 MORROS Sweet-and-sour braised beef cheek with black vinegar—so tender it falls apart! Topped with pickled onions for balance. (Cilantro is just for garnish—I skipped it, no worries!). Overall, a fantastic meal! These are my friend’s classic orders, perfect for first-timers. Portions are small, so this spread is just right for two. 💵 Price: $60–100 per person 🍴 Txikito 📍 240 9th Ave, New York, NY 10001 #NYCEats #SpanishFood #TapasLove #ChelseaEats #NYCRestaurants #FoodieFavorites #Txikito
