This team and food are the BEST!!!!! AD and Rocky in particular left such a solid impression, and I’m not always the best with names but other servers and waitstaff were incredible. Management is also amazing. I experienced a glitch at the end and they were patient and professional. I’ll be back this week to finalize that and further support this business!
As someone who worked at a pretty solid tapas spot in the past, everything is on point. Gambas, calamari, tuna crudo, croquetas, and my dog had 4 sliders (no bun). Thanks all for the wonderful service and I hope to be a regular :)

Loud but vibrant atmosphere. The food is amazing and very flavorful. The patatas bravas and the bikini (last picture) were delicious and they are now my favorites. I have returned 3 times since my husband brought me his leftovers! The albondigas (1st picture)and the mini hamburguesas were delectable. The Forget me Not NA beverage was just okay. Not much flavor. Maybe the ginger beer was flat and the lime was not in season. However, the waiter did ask if I did not like it and if I wanted something else because I was very slow at drinking it. The tarta de naranja was moist and had a light essence of orange. Overall, great experience and I will definitely return.

Excellent service. Great tapas. All you can drink at brunch!!

I prefer a tapas-style restaurant, which is why I chose Boqueria. We enjoyed the food, but it was a bit pricey. Our server was ok, I think at one point he forgot about us, and we asked for the check. Good experience overall, I'd like to go back sometime for happy hour.

Overall good experience. We had wings, Caesar salad, croquetas, Mac and cheese, sliders, Spanish sandwich with Jamon and cheese, patatas Bravas. Great drink selection. I think the server was new but that's alright!

Beautiful scenery, but that's about it. This is not a good place if you only have an hour to eat lunch, or you want what you ordered, or if you want your water refilled. The food took an hour and a half to come out. When it came out it was incorrect and not all of the items. The staff was not friendly and didn't seem to care that we had been there so long without our food while everyone else in the restaurant after us was getting their food served to them. Save yourself the headache.

Had brunch with daughter and it was a memorable experience with great service to detail. Marsela was attentive to our palette and enjoyed her presence.

I'm a fan of small plates so not a fan of chain restaurants. ☹️ The best plate was the brussels sprouts with raisins and cranberries - outstanding, with the sprouts slightly charred rather than burned or undercooked. I love carrots but these spiced baby carrots were bland; not crunchy but rather tough. The sauce, however, was excellent! We used that sauce across a few other dishes. The braised short rib was very good (and the sauce from the carrots made it even better). The mini sliders were overcooked and were slighly helped by using some the sauce from the carrots. The grilled sourdough with the crab was the worst: the bread was hard, likely old rather than overcooked, and crab meat had zero flavor. The waitperson, Fernando, was fine. We sat outside. We were planning to sit indoors but the noise level was off the charts - it was LOUD, and I wasn't up for screaming to have a conversation. It was chilly outdoors, but we had dressed appropriately so it turned out fine.

Great ambience, good food but terrible service. Waitor was straight up bad, forgot about us for long stretches and clearly didn't care. For the prices the services was incredibly bad.
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.
