I had a wonderful experience at this place! The atmosphere was incredibly inviting, and the portions were just right for sharing between two people. The cured meats were absolutely delicious, and the potatoes had the perfect crisp without being too oily. One of the things I often dislike about tapas is when the sauces overpower the dishes, but thankfully, that wasn't the case here. The flavors were balanced and complementary. It's a good reminder that tapas means small plates, and these were perfectly sized for sharing without feeling overwhelmed.
Our waitress was fantastic—she gave us a spot-on wine recommendation that matched perfectly with the mood we wanted for the weekend. She was also super kind and attentive, which made the experience even better.
I honestly had several favorites, but the real standout for me was the steak and toast with tomato—such a simple yet flavorful combination. The fig was another highlight, especially when paired with the bread and crispy potatoes. I could totally see adding a little ham to that for an extra kick.
If I could suggest one small improvement, it would be to let the steak rest a bit longer. It was cooked beautifully, but a little more resting time might help the juices stay intact when cutting.
Overall, everything was delicious, and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back!

Glad the 1st place I went to was closed, I looked online on Google that saw that Boqueron was open. I arrived here and the place is gorgeous, the service was excellent, and the food is amazing. I was very impressed by the food as well as the drinks. Very rare I find a spot that actually takes care with their mixology craft and this is one of the best places in downtown to get a perfect cocktail. I highly recommend.

Beautiful place, service is really good. And the menu is a good addition for downtown Brownsville. Small bites and great selection of wines.

Its a Spanish inspired place - foods are small portions more like appetizers but delicious; atmosphere is okay since they keep their place very dim

We ordered nine dishes, and everything was our favorite! Everything was made with care, and the tastes were a whole journey.

Delicious small plates and the waitress knew exactly how to describe the wine. Worth every penny. Remember to ask what tapas they have off menu.

Great service as always, Andrea did awesome! Several items were not available, but what was available was great.
Boquerón is a culinary experience every time... from the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile. Tuna plate is a fresh exquisite blend of flavors ! The unexpected blood sausage with sliced apples will blow your mind... all paired with their recommended wine !
