“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“a good tapas experience in a casual setting. The chorizo mussels were tasty, with smoky chorizo and tender mussels. The chicken was well-cooked, juicy, and crispy on the outside. The mushroom croquettes were crispy and creamy, and the churros were light, with a rich dulce de leche sauce for dipping.

Overall, Boqueria is a solid choice for a relaxed meal with flavorful tapas.“

“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!“

“The experience at the restaurant was amazing. We chose the lunch tapas that comes with two tapas and churros for a dessert. Everything was amazing. I enjoyed patatas bravas and croquetas setas (mushroom croquettes) the most. In addition we had sangria that was fantastic. We sat at the bar and every time we wanted to order the drink the bartender offered to taste the drink before ordering. I found that really nice. I can confidently recommend this restaurant.“

“Muy rica la comida! Cómo en nuestro país Ecuador 🇪🇨“

“Went here for Saturday brunch.
Not so busy unlike diner cross the street. Few outdoor table as well. Bars in front. Seated indoor right behind high table.

Super tapas. Sangria and cerveza to pair. Jamon triangle, my wife not as keen on Manchester, I didn't mind.
Brunch has sunny-side egg, chorizo, and potato generous portion. Ordered extra pan along. We liked pan con tomato with much generous layer of tomatoes better than Nacional or Little Spain at Hudson Yards. Rice with squid in black ink most exquisite. Not so salty, perfect. Finished with postre a la mode. Nice coffee.

Next time looking forward to order jamon y queso, croqueta and flan, pair with oloroso.“

“Our table of 4 loved everything from start to finish. My chorizos were the best I’ve ever eaten (including Spain). Dinner companion Eileen orders the shrimp in green sauce every time and is in heaven. Husband Phil’s vegetarian paella and portobello mushroom appetizer were delicious as were the table’s side dishes of green beans and carrots (perfectly cooked) and potato chips (yum). Massive entrees of which we all took portions home to enjoy as leftovers. Expert service by real waiters who knew everything and met our every dining need.“

“Great Spanish Mercado vibe just off the High Line in the middle of Manhattan!“

“Love their food. Everything I've had there is so tasty. I'm disappointed that they changed their fried potatoes. They are more like a bag of chips now, otherwise no complaints.“

“It has become one of my favorite places to go to taste a delicious seafood soup, there is a variety of Hispanic food and the cheese they sell is delicious. The atmosphere is very calm, the music is not as loud as in other places, the cleanliness is quite acceptable.“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“I have been to many family parties held at this restaurant. The basement party room is a great space that allows for a DJ and larger venue of 100 people. To tight for anymore people. Food is consistently good for a large batch catering party menu. Steaks are cooked to temperature and overall great food quality. Main area of improvement is just some esthetic updates. The space has not changed in over 30yrs. It's time to refresh and modernize. Overall good place, parking is really tough so beware.“

“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly“

“Overall food was good. Black ink paella was served warm. Not piping hot like I’m used to at other restaurants with the offering.

Appetizers and my old fashioned cocktail were on point. Wife’s lychee martini was not impressive.

Decor was nice, but not elegant for the prices charged. Overall a 4/5“

“Shout out to Ricky's for being the last restaurant in the neighborhood to keep it real on food quality, price, and portion size.

I'd been scoping out Ricky's for a few weeks, after I noticed it by accident while walking by.

Wonderful and delicious home kitchen Puerto Rican dishes. I have no idea why this place doesn't have a line out the door all day everyday...probably because of its humble unassuming appearance.

Right now with the price gouging at restaurants and inflation, it's Exhausting going out to eat when you look at the bill.

It felt so good to sit down and have a plate if delicious homecooked food with a bottle of soda for $9.75!

Picture below is PR stew chicken w/rice and beans. Definitely will be back soon!“

“Delicious food, the tostitos were amazing! Friendly service and beautiful decor. Feels like you're in Miami Beach.

Vegetarian options: Only about 3 vegie dishes, but I'm sure if you ask they can make accomodations“

“This place serves food that lives up to its reputation. Employees greeted us with authentic smiles! This spot balances warmth with proper cleaning. Every order I've placed shows good taste. This restaurant gets my complete endorsement.“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“Solid food in a welcoming space open to the street and yet slightly isolated from it. The menu focuses on reproducing Spanish food, and does it well, but frankly nothing blew my mind. I had high expectations for the grilled iberico, but it was quite plain and salty, I didn't get any of the complex flavors that this type of pork is known for. The cheesecake with blue cheese was great for a bite, but despite being made really well, the blue cheese was just too intense and could have benefited from a cup of coffee or glass of wine to cut it.“

“87 Ludlow is a hidden treasure, serving incredibly tasty Filipino dishes. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with welcoming decor enhancing the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone eager to savor the rich flavors and warm hospitality of Filipino culture!“
