After you eat your first you might order a second, all the while having a conversation with other bar patrons.
PS: I am not an expert on this.
A lot of small tapas bars will have what you describe. But usually the case is only cold tapas. They usually also have a small grill to cook up some hot dishes.
Here's the tapas menu from Ceviche Orlando. They also have a full plate menu.
But $4 tapas and $4 Sangrias on Tuesdays....good deal. This menu is very similar to the tapas menus that I 've seen when visiting Spain or other Spanish speaking countries.
Unfortunately, in the US, a lot of restaurants open up with TAPAS in the name but when you go and look at their menu, all the dishes are about $15-$20. So you only try one dish. I am really hoping that the Brownwood restaurant will be a real tapas restaurant.
