Tapas Picasso is a place we’ve all visited several times but had never documented in photographs so when Andie chose it for our May dinner (and her bday celebration) we were all eager to go back to the yummy tapas but most all the SANGRIA =P
Tapas Picasso is a small but very homey restaurant that has amazing happy hour deals every night of the week for both food and drink. Since we went on a Tuesday, they were offering an addition to their HH menu.

We started off our night with a medium pitcher of their house sangria. It is DELICIOUS to say the least. We kept our order to a medium since 3 of the 4 of us were going to be driving and one is breast -feeding.

Once we all arrived and got settled in with our greetings each with a glass of sangria in hand, we perused the happy hour menu. We ended up ordering 4 of the 6 items on the $5 menu and 1 from the $10 T/W/Th HH menu.
Since we had been here before, we knew what we liked. We ordered:
New Fried Potatoes with Chipotle Aioli
Albacore Mousse Pate with Chipotle
Deep Fried Spanish Sausage (Chistorra)
Zucchini, Tomatoes & Mushroom Sauté
(all from the $5 Everyday Happy Hour Menu)
Paella Tapa (from the $10 T/W/Th Happy Hour Menu)

| New Fried Potatoes with Chipotle Aioli |
The New Fried Potatoes w/ Chipotle Aioli were potatoes cut into small cubes that were drizzled in chipotle aioli that could be eaten with toothpicks or your fork. They were very tasty and great to offset the flavors of the other tapas.

The Albacore Mousse Pate is our absolute favorite that we’ve ordered every time we’ve come to Tapas Picasso. It’s a smooth spread that goes great with the crostinis that came with the order or the freshly sliced bread on the side.The deep Fried Spanish Sausage is another favorite. Sliced up and stabbed with a toothpick these are flavorful and smoky.

The Zucchini, Tomatoes & Mushroom Sauté is a colorful and appetizing way to get some veggies in your meal.

And finally, the Paella Tapa…it was actually our first time ordering this dish but we were pleasantly surprised at how much we liked it. On a bed of saffron rice, was an assortment of seafood and chicken. I personally liked it when it mixed with the Zucchini, Tomatoes & Mushroom Sauté. The flavors really complemented each other well.

We love this place for its great artwork that decorates the walls, the awesomely yummy sangria that makes you forget how much you’ve already drunk, and of course for its delicious food. Being someone that can never decide on only one entrée, this is the perfect place because you get to try a little bit of everything and still not be overly stuffed.
