Lively Spanish tapas spot with charming terrace and strong veggie options; tasty small plates but slow service and strict 2‑hour seating with small portions can frustrate.
Toma Tu Tiempo excels with beautiful interior design and charming terrace setting, plus standout dishes like mushrooms and croquettes that showcase solid food quality. However, inconsistent execution across visits, variable service attentiveness, and slow pacing during peak times prevent higher marks. It's a worthwhile neighborhood tapas spot with warm energy, but reliability gaps keep it from competing with the area's premier dining destinations.
This lively corner of Neubau feels warm and bustling, from the string-lit terrace to a room that hums with chatter and clinking glasses. Guests praise friendly vibes and a charming setting, though several note waits for menus and drinks. One diner summed it up: "Great energy and tasty plates, but be ready to linger before the first order." Time-limited seating windows can add pressure when service runs slow. In the kitchen, the approach leans Spanish comfort with elevated traditional tapas rather than flashy fusion. Mushrooms in garlic, croquettes, and an occasional standout octopus plate win fans, while patatas bravas and anchovies divide opinions. Portions are intentionally modest and designed for sharing; order a few rounds if hungry, as totals can climb. Vegan and vegetarian choices are stronger than average for a tapas bar, and the Spanish coffee specials provide a fun finishing touch. Families will find enough approachable items—tortilla, potatoes, simple croquettes—to keep kids happy, though there is no kids menu and tables are close together. If young diners need speed, consider an earlier slot when it is less crowded, and plan for several shareable plates rather than one large entree.
