Gracie,
Tapas is a Spanish word loosely translates to small plates. A Spanish tapas restaurant is usually a lot of fun. If it's a true tapas restaurant, it will offer small dishes that run anywhere from $4-$8. You usually order one or two at a time, they cook to order and each plate gets brought to the table when ready. Then you order another tapas or two. You get to try many different dishes. Many tapas restaurants also have Spanish entertainment...flamenco dancers etc. Lots of fun.
