It’s perfectly decent Spanish Tapas. Nice decor, good service.
The food is alright, nothing that will blow your mind but it’s good.
The Brussels sprouts is nicely caramelized and mildly charred, which is proper. The octopus was ok, it was tender but would have been better if the “skin” was crispy.
Overall, would I eat there? Sure, if it’s convenient, but wouldn’t go out of my way to go specifically for it.

I have been to the Boston location a few times, and decided to try my luck in NYC. I was not disappointed. Service was a little slow, but the food and ambiance were just perfect. We ordered albondigas ($17.5) croquetas ($9)and gambas al ajillo ($19.5) all delicious and authentically Spanish. Two bottles of wine later ($60 each) and a great lunch was had.
Food is authentic and delicious. I can’t wait to go back.

We dropped by this spot for Saturday brunch, and it didn’t disappoint. Located in Midtown Manhattan, it was surprisingly not too crowded for a weekend, which made the experience more relaxed. We ordered the Boqueria BEC and Dos Huevos Y Más, and paired them with churros. The food was good overall — the side potatoes were especially tasty, and the salsa verde dip was perfect with the bread.
The ambience is spacious and clean, and the staff did well — we had a small issue with part of our order initially, but they were quick to respond and fix it, which we appreciated.
Overall, a very solid brunch spot in Midtown with good service and a pleasant atmosphere. We’d definitely consider coming back.

Loved the service and food is amazing!!!!! Thank you Joel!
EDIT: My friends and I loved it so much we returned the next day to dine again. I will be back next time I am in NYC. Thank you to Collin for being such a gracious and personable host!
I recommend the entraña steak, croquettas de jamon, blue cheese bacon wrapped dates, bikini grilled cheese. Everything was divine!

Food, service, atmosphere, everything was great! It’s an ideal place for the romantic dinner (where you can talk and hear each other!). By looking at their outside terrace we didn’t expect that much, until entered inside. Good choice of tapas. We ordered tuna crudo and seafood paella (they also have veggie and meat options). It’s more than enough for 2 people. Usually I’m not a huge fan of paella but here the guys know how to prepare it good! It was very delicious!
Order a glass of cava, it’ll be a nice add-on to your meal. Overall, 10 out of 10.

Boqueria is absolutely phenomenal. From the aesthetic & ambiance, menu selection, to superb service. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. We tried about 11 dishes and every single one was amazing. Bobbi was the best part of the evening; her bubbly personality and laughter helped make my friend’s birthday even more special (and shout out to the birthday churros). I cannot recommend this place enough! I will definitely come back the next time I’m in the city.

We went last night pre movie and were seated immediately . I loved everything especially the fast , friendly efficient service . Only issue, vwe sat outside in the enclosed courtyard and it was very noisy a lot of the time with people talking . There’s a fantastic selection of reasonably priced tapas dishes and the ones we had were delicious ( not amazing but arrived fast!) . Would go back definately .
