Mateo Bar de Tapas

“Every dish was uniquely crafted & perfectly portioned.”

Great experience. Can't go wrong with any of the tapas, but a few of my favorites were the ribs, the farmers cheese, seafood paella, dates, and all the drinks. The atmosphere and service was great, which added to the experience. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Perfect way to start a movie date night. The food is delicious but you won't feel so full that you are uncomfortable. Friendly staff with good drinks as well. Highly recommend!

Finding this place was a happy little accident! We so enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It was our first time eating at a Spanish style tapas restaurant. We found seats at the bar and the bartender was happy to recommend her favorite dishes. We took her recommendations and everything was delicious and the order of the plates coming from the kitchen was perfect. (The stuffed dates, beet salad, and deviled eggs were our favorites!). This restaurant is withim walking distance to the DPAC. They offered fast and friendly service. We will be back!

One of the best experiences in Durham! Amazing service and atmosphere. Lowkey and very delicious. Mateo’s has an eclectic menu but an amazing chef that’ll put you into a food coma off tapas. Great date spot!
