An evening plan, not a dish

Ir de tapas

eer deh TAH-pahs — To go out for tapas

"¿Nos vamos de tapas esta noche?"
Shall we go out for tapas tonight?

"Tapas" describes a whole style of evening out — small plates, moving between bars — not just a food category, so "ir de tapas" is really more of an activity than an order.
