This was my first time at Boqueria. Overall, I enjoyed it very much. It was lunch on a Friday, very slow day there. Hostess was extremely accommodating as I kept having her show me different tables to escape the too loud music. Cute atmosphere and great lighting. Menu is quite varied with a lot of great choices. We had the manchego cheese and serrano ham, bacon wrapped dates (just OK), meatballs, croquetas de jamon, tortilla española, and lamb skewers. Everything was very tasty. My complaint, I guess, is with tapas restaurants in general -- portions are SO tiny and the prices are $$$. You get the smallest bite per person and that's it. Like, barely a taste. I know these are shareables but it is tough to justify the prices. It's getting harder and harder to dine out these days.

We sat at the bar and she was stellar. Great recommendations. She definitely enhanced the dining experience.

Easy walk up to tell them reservation details and was taken care of immediately. Service was outstanding for my girlfriend and I's first date. Beautiful place with fun shareable dishes

We had to sit in the outside area bc we added one more guest to our party of 2. But that made service hard and dinner took much longer than anticipated.

Cute place. Really loud b/c of St Patrick's Day groups. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Food was good- but I've definitely had better tapas.

GOOD: food was pretty good BAD: - service was SO slow even for a tapas model - it was a weekday lunch with maybe 3 tables occupied. dishes were spaced out about 20 minutes between each, even after we told them to bring it all out. by the time we got a second dish we were full from snacking on the first. been to many tapas places - none this slow. - portions were small and prices high.

A gorgeous place, wonderful and authentic food plus excellent service. Casey is a gem and took great care of us.
I have booked several group/team dinners here for work (maybe six?) and every one came back with a positive review and said they loved the food, atmosphere, and service.
Absolutely loved it and will definitely return. The atmosphere was great (lively but not so loud we couldn't have an intimate chat), fantastic interior, the food was delicious and a great modern take on tapas, fantastic wine (the rioja was magnificent), efficient but understated service (nobody explained small plates nor recommended 24 small plates per person and for that I am eternally grateful). Absolutely 10/10, well done boqueria.

Amazing. The hummus is particularly outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed every dish. More Mediterranean than first glance.

Everything was perfect. Brussels sprouts were perfect.
