Sensational bomba with uni, shrimp & enoki mushroom. The bleu cheese croquettes were creamy and subtle. The octopus in citrus is so lovely and delicate and the white bean, shrimp & mussels were perfect with the garlic bread. We make a similar version at home of their Ensaldia Russe but theirs is a cake with a million lovely peas and a mayo frosting! Finished with a luxurious chocolate and cream flan. Only wish is cushions for the seats.
Tried Txikito on a whim the other night and thought that it was a nice place, good service — yet the food portions were small for the price. Sangria was top notch though!
We managed to get seats without a booking, which is extremely rare, especially on a weekend evening. The food is very good. The kroketas melt in your mouth, the pulpo is exceptional. Generally food is top. Service is attentive and helpful. Great recommendations on food and quantity. Will definitely come back to try the other dishes
Pleasant ambience and friendly staff. I had the Arroz meloso, octopus carapaccio, and kroketas (truffle flavor on that day). The rice was superb, creamy, perfect rice texture and flavor. The octopus was a bit disappointing, certainly bland and in my opinion the citrus leaves ruin the dish. The kroketas were decent. 4 stars for NYC, pricey rice dish - worth, pricey octopus - not worth, cheap kroketas - worth.

The food here is terrific. Wonderful Basque food, very stylishly prepared. The seafood is very fresh. The service is quite good. The place is not cheap, expect to spend about $75 per head or more for a reasonable amount of food with wine.
I’ve heard good things about @txikitonyc and finally booked a weekend dinner! All the food was delicious and our server was very nice and patient in giving us great recommendations. They definitely deserve more love than they already do! Will be interested in coming back and trying more of their delicious Basque cuisine.
This was such a great random find. Please note though that there aren't too many vegetarian options. However, the options that exist very amazing! Each item was well thought out in terms of the different flavors to combine and the seasoning. The sauces enhanced each of the dishes. I was able to get 5 veggie items and between the 5 I left pretty full.
Ambiance: The vibe of this restaurant is perfect. It's a great combination of elegant and casual.
Service: Everyone was very friendly. We sat at the bar and service was fast. They also took their time to give us recommendations.

Food 8/10
Overall great flavors and tapas are lovely, but it is pricey for what you get. We ordered the fried shrimp, bone marrow, jamon and fried artichoke, and beef cheeks. Highly recommend the beef cheeks, they were super tender and flavorful. The jamon and fried artichoke were very unique and a fun dish to try. The bone marrow was alright, I think not enough bone marrow and too much red peppers + bread. The shrimp were crunchy, but not a necessary order.
Atmosphere 8/10
Very cute, located in Chelsea. Plenty of seating inside.
Service 5/10
Honestly very slow service, I was a bit disappointed. It took a while for them to notice us and take our order, and also to get our bill.
