Authentic and modern restaurant in Winthrop, beautiful and cozy. We sat at the bar to enjoy the Sox game, asked the bartender (William) for food recommendations and his answer was; pick your poison, everything is good!
We ordered a variety of starters and it did not disappoint, every single tapa we ordered was mouthwatering. Drinks were innovative and hit the right spot.
Upscale service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, the waiter was great, and the manager on duty was welcoming, she greeted warmly and always had a smile.
Perfect spot for a date as place is beautiful, or to enjoy drinks with friends at the bar. Missed on posting some pictures because food started to come out and everything tasted so good, I forgot to snap other tapas we had ordered.
Overall, great experience, awesome value, will comeback to order some other items from the menu I didn’t get to order and repeat some others as they...

The chicken & steak was divine- nothing is overcooked- my partner got med- rare and it was med- rare. The presentation was beautiful! I can't say enough about how great this place is! From seasoning that is just right to rice & side options! There are healthy options and vegetarian options- so many options! Everything seems to be made from scratch- not store bought. They margaritas & craft drinks are superb! Don't...

The menu is full of flavor with thoughtful presentation. We ordered octopus, toston de carnitas, cauliflower, and carne asada. The toston de carnitas and carne asada are a must order! One comment to the kitchen is that while the meats had great char to them, the carne and octopus came overcooked. The flavor was still great and of course, easy to correct as the restaurant continues to open and gain traction.
I am very happy about having Sambalos in Winthrop. With the same owners as Bellinos next door, it's nice to have some options and locals spots for a great...
