Elegant, rustic Spanish-style tapas with strong execution and bold flavors.
The charcuterie board was well-balanced — quality cured meats (salami, chorizo, jamón) paired with pickled peppers and toasted bread for texture contrast. The shrimp in garlic sauce was rich and comforting, perfect for dipping bread. The seafood rice delivered depth, with mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp layered over a savory base and bright herb drizzle. The steak over purée was tender and flavorful, elevated by chimichurri and citrus. Even the roasted Brussels sprouts stood out — caramelized, slightly crispy, with a salty.

We live and work on the west side so coming to this place is not that easy. But we love visiting here. Food is always good and staffs are always friendly. Our server Eric was lovely. He spent time to make sure our dietary restrictions were met. Overall 5 stars.

Surprisingly delicious and packed for a Thursday night. Every dish hit—nothing missed. Lively energy, great flavors, and absolutely worth a return visit.

Solid Spanish tapas, just wish the booth was more comfortable.
Some of our food items were delayed because they had been sent to the wrong table.
Our server was nice and attentive, maybe the runners were having a bad day.

It’s been awhile since we’ve been to this branch of the Boqueria chain {possibly before the pandemic) and food-wise it seems better than I remember it being.
We had the brunch feast which consisted of picking a total of 6 dishes for $29/person. Which, given the portion sizes of some of the dishes, is actually more than reasonable.
I don’t recall it being offered before but I’d definitely recommend it if you’re here for brunch as it’s a nice selection of tapas.
Everything we had was excellent, the only minor quibble is that we asked for churros with hot chocolate, but they gave us Nutella instead. Hardly a problem though!
Our server was nice and when we first entered the front desk lady overheard my wish to be seated at the front, which was great as it allowed us to be seated in a quiet corner away from the other patrons, allowing for a quiet experience. Always a plus!
The food certainly reminded us of our most recent visit to Spain.

I have nothing but good things to say about this classy, elegant restaurant!
From the preparation and presentation of the food to the fantastic Rioja and friendly, courteous and highly accommodating staff — and A PLUS experience!
You HAVE to try it and won’t be disappointed!
(On a side note, but important one, the restrooms are very clean and beautiful.)

This is my second time coming to this location. The FIRST time I went here last year, they “placed my order” through their iPad and we waited over an hour for our paella and tapas, neither of which came but we thought it was because the paella takes 45 minutes to make! turns out, our order never went through. Our server apologized and offered to bring out what we ordered free of charge, but we didn’t have any time so we stayed a bit and got our tapas and drinks on the house. We let it go and still wanted to give them a chance in the future.
On Friday my partner and I came by again, and the tables were still too small for all of our dishes, made it feel a little cramped. Service was good, our waiter was kind and diligent, and checked in on us at the right times. However, the food was very disappointing, we got the $65/pp Boqueria experience, and the seafood paella was too moist and didn’t have as much seasoning as I hoped it would. 2/6 of the tapas they gave us were enjoyable, but generally the food experience was very mid and felt whitewashed. Not to mention the “dessert” which was two tiny churros (one churro per person) and really watery chocolate dip. What is that? Why would you serve that? Overpriced food and experience that wasn’t great. Won’t come back here again.
