Tapas D’Jerez

I had a craving for paella tonight so the bf and I headed over to Tapas D’Jerez since it’s right down the street from us. Unfortunately, I was very underwhelmed.
The service was fine, nothing special but adequate. We both ordered sangria and found that it tasted a bit off. Not sure what it was but since other reviews said that the sangria was tasty, maybe our taste buds are just out of whack.
The paella came out in two separate little pans, which was cute. It tasted fine but I wasn’t gobbling it up or anything. In fact, I left about half in the pan. The seafood didn’t taste fresh and the chicken also tasted kind of old. I didn’t want to eat too much for fear of a gastrointestinal rebellion later.
It’s nice that there is a Spanish restaurant nearby but unfortunately, it was just kind of meh for me. We won’t be back.

It wasn’t really my kind of place but the food was okay. If there’s an ingredient you don’t like, make sure you ask if it’s on your food because they add ingredients that aren’t on the menu. Hate mushrooms? Well your non-​mushroom chicken dish is going to be covered in them. And capers. You’re welcome. Have fun scraping that off. Goodbye sauce. The music was cool once the dude stopped warming up with Pearl Jam and Vanilla Ice. Table was wobbly. The end.
Edit: the waiter was super sweet about my mushroom mountain and took it off the bill even though I ate the rest. Also, now the guitarist is playing Stairway To Heaven.

The food was hit or miss here for the price. We got the house sampler for 2 and about half of the items I liked and the rest were mediocre or bad.
The sangria was really good so at least there is that. At $ 16 for the pitcher it’s a decent deal. Unfortunately I don’t know if I feel like I got my monies worth for the food.
Overall the food was a bit pricey I feel for what you got. I wound up being full in the end but it just wasn’t worth it overall. The paella the as definitely decent so maybe if I just ge like getting paella I would come back but other than that I don’t think I’ll be back again.

Unfortunately, this is definitely no longer one of our go-​tos. We are very disappointed in what Tapas D’ Jerez has become. I have been to Barcelona, and this was the closest to what I had experienced there for tapas. However, within the past year, they changed their menu drastically. They made it a lot smaller and changed their recipes. They do not have as many vegetarian options anymore. We went a couple weeks ago hoping that they had changed back, but they hadn’t.
Papas bravas (a signature tapas dish in Barcelona) are NOT chips, like what Tapas D’Jerez changed them to. When we went a few months ago, we ordered papas bravas, which we loved. We were surprised to see they had turned them into chips and sent them back. They didn’t charge us for them, which was nice of them. They were still on the menu as chips the last time we went, so we saved ourselves the trouble of ordered them this time.
The sauce that came with the calamari was awful too! Not sure what it was. They changed it as well (apparently, you can mess it up), and it did not taste good. I had to ask for just regular cocktail sauce because they didn’t have their old sauce for it. The pixto machego dish that the bf orders also was changed.
We liken this restaurant to becoming more Americanized and less authentic. Its authenticity to the Spanish culture is what we loved about this restaurant. But we decided we won’t be coming back.

My partner and I came here with a Groupon for Sunday brunch. It was delicious! Everything was full of flavor, whether from the buffet or from the kitchen. The bacon-​wrapped chorizo-​stuffed dates were both of our favorite. Save room for the desserts from the buffet, too.
They had football on the tvs, which we loved, but it didnt quite go with the rest if the experience. The owner was helping with seating guests and checked in with each table as well. It was worth the drive from the city, and we will definitely be back.

We came here with a large group of 11 plus 2 babies, and even with it being a Saturday evening, we had no problem getting a reservation. It also turned out to be a fairly quiet evening, so that was helpful!
Half my family is from Spain, so I’ve definitely got some expectations when it comes to Spanish food. As I perused through the menu, I started getting really excited as I saw some favorites from my time abroad. There was Pan con Tumaca, Tortilla Española, Chorizo al Vino, and of course, sangria. So how did these all break down? Let’s discuss…
Pan con tumaca: literally tomato bread. While in Barcelona, I had my first taste of this, and fell in love with it. It’s so simple: mashed tomatoes with olive oil, spread on a thick piece of lightly toasted bread. Unfortunately, this isn’t what I got here. They used extremely thin sliced bread, that was TINY. You get four per order, but even that’s not enough. Think the thinnest Italian bread you can find, sliced thinner, and some tomatoes topped on it. Definitely a disappointment.
Tortilla Española: This was a little different than the version I’m used too which consists of just egg, potato, and onion. That said, it was pretty good! The difference is that they add various veggies to their Spanish omelet. I was pleasantly surprised by this one!
Chorizo al Vino: I would call this the star tapas from our order. The red wine sauce was spot on, and turned into a great bread dipping dish, and the chorizo was perfectly cooked, tender, with just the right amount of spice.
The sangria was a big let down. There was hardly any fruit in it, and it was WAY watered down. I advise against it!
I didn’t try the paella, because I’m not into seafood. If you want just a chicken and pork paella, you have to allow an additional 45 minutes for them to cook it!

Love to come here! Food is always great and the owner comes by the tables and makes sure you are enjoying your visit. Love everything I have had on the menu!

This was a terrible experience. They gave us menus, but after we ordered off the menu we were told that the kitchen was not serving and the only option was the nearly $ 20 brunch buffet where the paella looked dry and old. I then watched as they served others at the bar from the menu. Another friend ordered an espresso only to be told that they don’t have it — despite a full size machine behind the bar. We confirmed in the morning that we’d be there with a group and that they would have the Madrid Derby on, but the TVs were discolored and distorted. Just not worth ever going back. I am Spanish and typically love all Spanish restaurants but this was a huge disappointment.

Had dinner here this evening with a colleague. Place was more or less empty when we started at 6 PM, and by the time we left at 8:30 it had a few customers.
Service 3.5 — attentive wait staff with suggestions on choices and wines.
Food — 3 — We ate «family style» sticking to an assortment of Tapas — had the Jamon Iberico (sliced a little thick and somehow lacking in flavor), the Tortilla Espanola (fabulous!), the Cazuela de Champiñones y Gambas (great flavor, shrimp slightly over done), and Callos a la Madrileña (Madrid Style tripe cooked in a meat broth with Pimiento de Piquillo, paprika, garlic, chorizo and Morcilla). We stuck with the house Massimo ed wine — which turned out to be free with four tapas — go figure
Good food, uncrowded and good service — rates a three any day of the week.
A note on my rating schema
Rating system
1) I wouldn’t feed a dog I hated here
2) I’ll give it a miss
3) Good food — I’ll definitely go again
4) Really good — I’ll recommend to business colleagues and connoisseurs of this cuisine
5) Completely worth a trip — I’d book airplane and hotels to go there again.

I read reviews about this place – it did not disappoint! The flavors in the food were incredible! The server was very nice too. We will DEFINITELY be back! My favorite dish was the lamb stew. I also recommend the 5280 tapas sampler to get an idea of what they offer.

Coming from a Spanish background, I have been begging the food gods for a quality tapas restaurant and I think Tapas de Jeres is the answer to my prayers! The only problem, is that it’s all the way out in Greenwood Village but still, well worth the extra trip. The restaurant walls are bursting with the native red and yellow Spanish colors, along with cool authentic nick nacks that blasts you straight into the heart of Spain.
I dined at this establishment for a fundraiser, meaning I didn’t get to experiment with the menu as much as I would have liked, as each coarse was planned out ahead of time. Regardless, each coarse was still, as the Spaniards would say, «DELICIOSO!»
We washed down all our food with some sangria and wine that was smooth and refreshing with every sip!
The meal started with some fresh baguette, us Spaniards love our carbs ;) and a delicious Spanish style potato salad that was soooo on point, took me back to my aunts freshly cooked meals back in Spain!
Without a doubt, the highlight of the meal was the Paella, a Spanish rice with veggies, meat, and fresh seafood. This dish has a to be done in the right way, specifically a unique pan (see picture) that needs to be big enough to fit all off the tasty ingredients and allow the proper temperature to reach those ingredients from start to finish, also not forgetting the key ingredient, saffron! The final product exceeded my every expectation and was a complete slam dunk! The rice, mussels, calamari, pork and chicken pieces all came together perfectly and I can confidently say this was by far, the best paella I have had in Denver!
The service was good and every request was met promptly and efficiently but I thought the servers needed to be more approachable, as they seemed rushed every time they came to our table. It was a jam packed house so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I can only give 4 stars because I wasn’t able to try out the menu options I wanted to but I will definitely be going back and if the rest of the food is as good as the entrees I was able to try, without a doubt this restaurant will have my five star endorsement!

It has been quite a while since we’ve been here and got a little reminder in the mail informing us that they now serve brunch. We thought, hey, that’s awesome… We love brunch! Made some reservations and headed on over. The reservations, as it turned out, were a bit of an overkill. There were a total of 6 people in the restaurant (not including staff) the entire time we were there. No worries, we thought, smaller lines at the buffet! Free mimosa to start, so far so good. The brunch menu includes what looks like pretty much the same appetizers as the dinner in addition to omelets and other «breakfasty» things. The buffet had some cold cuts, asiago cheese, salad stuff, paella, egg torta, shrimp, potatoes, bacon and American breakfast sausage. There were also a couple of sweets, yogurts, bran and a oddly pale chocolate fountain with fruits. We ordered some stuff from the kitchen and headed to the buffet. The good things were the torta, the cuts and cheese, the bacon and the paella. The shrimp were cooked to the consistency of solid rubber, it would be difficult for me to recall a time I’ve eaten worse… Then come our orders from the kitchen. The chorizo al vino, pretty good, goes nicely with that torta. The marinated pork, oof, WAY too garlicky (still taste it!). The «papas bravas», mkay, not the same papas bravas we’ve had before… Instead it’s a plate of potato chips with gloopy sauce all over them (see picture). Naturally, the chips remain crisp for about two seconds and then it’s just a big gloopy, soggy mess. The Eggs «Benedict» comes with broken «hollandaise» that tastes like somebody blended scrambled eggs in lemon juice. The «poached» eggs have runny egg white, plopped onto some dried out ham and some stale ass English muffin that’s been sitting around in the fridge for a couple of weeks (see pic). BRAVO! That is quite a masterpiece… We do inform our waiter that, unfortunately, THAT is not Eggs Benedict. She rushes away to bring over the chef (who’s watching some Futbol on the tele). The chef is very apologetic, gives us a spin about heating lamps and how the idiot waitress left it there too long and bows away back to the game. Desert Time! Unfortunately, except for potentially the cinnamon rice pudding, which is just as great as it sounds, I’m pretty sure everything else was made by Kirkland… That’s not too bad! Costco is good too! Unfortunately, everything except for the Macaroons, was bought there at the same time as that stale ass English Muffin. Ohh well… But hey! We got a «free» Mimosa! I’d be very surprised if you are reading this a year later an this place is still open.

I have been here twice in the last two weeks and have been astonished by the taste of the the Spanish cuisine! I lived in Spain for a couple years and really missed the tapas and the many flavors they brought to the table. Tapas D’ Jerez is as close as I have been to finding a authentic Spanish food.

Bread plate– delicious with veggie dip
Iberico ham and manchego — perfection
Pintxos — tasty but small
Pulpo — a little rubbery and lacking something in flavor
Croquet as– alright, a little dry
Tortillas Espanola– amazing!
We got delicious complimentary mimosas but water was never refilled.
All in all a good experience, fairly pricey, but I might prefer ninth door in denver.

My wife and I decided to try Tapas D’Jerez for dinner this evening, and we had a lovely time! I’m pretty sure the gentlemen who seated us and took care of us throughout the evening was the owner or manager or something like that; he seemed very knowledgeable.
The main reason we decided to try this restaurant (aside from the fact that it’s really close to home and we like tapas) is that their menu online had a whole bunch of things labeled as gluten free (my wife has food allergies, including gluten). We showed up around 7:00 PM on a Saturday night and got a table right away.
Obviously, we started with a pitcher of sangria, which was wonderful. For food, we started with a ham plate, a cheese plate and a potato omelette. We had some miscommunication about the ham; we were trying to order their super-​fancy high-​end ham, but we ended up getting the regular ham. Still tasty, but we were surprised at the generous portion (and later checked the bill and saw that we were charged for the normal ham). We definitely want to go back another time and try the fancy stuff!
The cheese plate was yummy; mostly some awesome manchego with some samples of other cheeses on the side. The portion was ridiculously huge for the two of us; we have leftover cheese in our fridge now (not a bad thing!).
The potato omelette (called a tortilla, but there was no flour or corn tortilla involved) was amazing. The sauce on the side was some kind of herbed mayo or something, but it was completely unnecessary. Omelet by itself = wonderful.
We added on a garlic shrimp dish at the end, which was disappointing. Just not very tasty. I guess that’s why I’m giving four stars instead of five.
The service was lovely, the food was yummy (and bigger portions that we expected), and the sangria made it all go together beautifully. We will be going here again soon!

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m a fan of the concept of Tapas but that I don’t actually like the flavors offered in most Spanish cuisine. The previous reviews of this place are pretty spot on: it’s located in an unassuming strip mall, the décor impresses and make you forget this fact. The food is good (even if it’s not to my liking I can tell when something is cooked right) but overpriced — this would take it down from five stars to four. The service is what took this down to a three star review. My water sat empty for more than ten minutes on several occasions while I was eating and while the servers were friendly, that was only when you could get their attention. I no kidding sat at my table with my check and my to go boxes for 30 minutes waiting for my server to stop studiously ignoring me while she cleaned the bar area and come take my payment. I’ve never come so close to leaving a restaurant without paying.
I ordered a lobster cream soup (delicious), lamb chops (also very good, though the chips that came with them were far too greasy), and a meat and cheese plate that, while good, was hardly worth the $ 18 price tag. Actually, since they were out of the Iberico Ham that night, they substituted it for Serrano Ham and knocked a few bucks off. I did not at all like the appetizer they brought out for me — I don’t know what it was called, but it basically amounted to chicken soup on a plate with bread.
Overall, I think if you’re looking for authentic Spanish cuisine you will find it here, but be prepared to pay for it and be prepared for slow service.

I was here with a biggish (7) group on a Monday night. The restaurant was a little difficult for us to find since it’s in a strip mall and we didn’t see the signs at first. The place was empty but our service was still only OK.
The décor makes the restaurant cozy and you can almost forget you’re dining steps away from an acre of asphalt parking lot. We were presented with an amuse bouche after sitting down… which was unfortunately full of ground beef (well unfortunate for me) and with the low lighting, I didn’t realize until I took a bite.
It definitely helped our experience that one of our party was a native Spanish speaker and she ordered for all of us. We had a carafe of the red sangria and the white agua d’jerez. They were both tasty but I think I preferred the red. My favorite dishes were the salad with shrimp and avocado and pinxto with the crab.
The company was great but I felt like the restaurant was OK.

I was really disappointed with this visit. I hadn’t been there in about 4 months and was looking forward to the Fried Calamari. We ordered the ración portion of Fried Calamari since I like it so much. The calamari came out as strips (fake calamari like the kind that The Elephant Bar uses). I really like the tentacles and there were none. Some of the pieces were tough and chewy. We did not finish the plate.
We also ordered the Croquetas ración and Beef Empanada. They were good.
We will be back since we enjoy the live entertainment on the weekends, but we will not order the Fried Calamari again.

Came with my sister since she had a Living Social Deal and I was really wanting to try the tapas because of Andrea’s reviews.
We were seated quickly and our server brought us two small tapas of beef with vegetables and a basket of bread – very tasty! I ordered white wine and my sister had sangria.
We ordered a tapa of croquetas (small, lightly breaded and fried fritters, with a creamy inside which included an assortment of ham, shrimp and spinach). Very tasty!
We also ordered the Mejillones a la Marinera (mussels with «Marinera» wine sauce & herbs). This was very delicious and couldn’t stop dipping my bread in the great sauce.
I definitely want to try their Happy Hour:

Love me some Tapas D’ Jerez! We have been 3 times over the past few weeks so we’re definitely fans. This is really more of a 4 star review but honestly I can’t understand some of the mediocre reviews for this place so I am giving them the credit they deserve.
We’ve only sampled their tapas here. We do it true Spanish style and stagger all of our requests in order to enjoy the evening. Our favorites are the Chorizo al Vino (so good Hubs and I sometimes request our own bowls), the croquetas are amazingly creamy and delicious, the Papas Bravas are outstanding. OUTSTANDING. I don’t eat a lot of potatoes but the paprika sauce is out of this world. It impressed me so much I tried to replicate it at home! The smokiness is seductive. The mussels are also in this same type of smoky paprika sauce and it makes you want to lick the bowl– throw etiquette out the window! We’ve also tried the clams and shrimp in garlic sauce which is good.
On one night we did the Tapas Sampler which is a pretty decent deal but we didn’t love everything we had. The potatoes in aioli are pretty bland and the chicken in paprika was a tad dry. The calamari has a very light breading that is pretty good and tastes fresh. The goat cheese and pepper spread a top the toasted baguette slices is very tasty.
To top it all off, it’s all reasonably priced. The portions are generous, most bottles of wine are around $ 30, their beers are $ 3.50 (that’s not happy hour pricing, either!), their house wine is $ 5– perfect for the area. The servers are all spanish and sometimes it’s difficult to communicate but I think that lends to its authenticity. I’m thrilled to have something so tasty down south and we’ll keep returning again and again.
