Boqueria in New York

Stopped by for lunch had some tapas and a paella. Food was delicious but all the servers were top notch. We had a main server but they all worked as a team so wonderfully. They were attentive, helpful, and superb. One of them ran after me to give my jacket back. Definitely would recommend this place for good food but also excellent service. I’ll make an effort to stop by here each time I come back to NYC.

High energy expertly prepared Tapas bar with a great range of items on the menu. I sat at the chef’s counter tonight and got to see their staff preparing every dish with love. The focus was impressive and the food fantastic.

Great outdoor seating, friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend the Paella de Mariscos, you have to wait about 45" but its well worth it! We got the BOQUERONES CON NARANJA along with the olives while we waited. They also have a fabulous sangria selection.

Food was decent, but theres better choices for Spanish.Sangria was pretty watered down.Service was slow, and a bit rude.Dishes came out all at once, instead of spaced out. For the amount they suggest to order, the tables are too small to accommodate them all at once.

It was a delicious dinner! The portions were perfect with a nice presentation. Noah, our server was kind and sweet. The only thing missing was the decaf coffee or tea. Unfortunately, we did not have the chance tasting the creme brulé desert as they were sold out:(I will recommend this place with no hesitation!Sam

Great spot for sangrias and tapas! Went for brunch and it was delicious. Highly recommend (especially with the perf location in soho)

Loved this place. In the heart of SoHo, this is a great tapas place. Great ambiance and food was great. It is a bit expensive as you are paying NYC charges. We had potatoes, Shishito peppers, shrimp, lamb skewers and steak. Everything was good. Steak is over priced for the quality you get. Overall great experience and will definitely return.

Tapas were 10/10!! Cute date spot and also delicious food. I actually went here with co workers and still great experience. Perfect place to stop by if you’re craving some Spanish food!

Hands down the best restaurant I went to on my NY trip. It was a spontaneous find and they were able to seat us at the bar with no reservation, I cant recommend the truffle croquettes enough. The patatas bravas also, and the esquites, chorizo 🤤 everything was so so good

The food slaps, and the staff are extremely friendly. One of the best Spanish restaurants thats I’ve ever been to

Food and drink were delicious. Please do yourself a favor and get the carrot tapas. The Sangria hit right, and our server Bridgette was knowledge, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back to tour the menu.

Had a birthday dinner last night with 4 of my friends, we ordered two pitchers of the sangria and some plates. By the end of the dinner we realized we had wasted $96 on the pitchers of sangria because it was practically juice/non alcoholic…very disappointing. The food was just ok. The ambiance inside was nice and our waiter was excellent, but I doubt I’ll be back after wasting almost $100 on juice, not sangria, it was a disappointment especially it being a birthday dinner.

Perfect tapas every time, and my waitress so wonderful at her job. Even the hostess was so much more welcoming than any restaurant I have been to since the pandemic. Got to try everything!!

Very delicious Tapas and great service!You must try it and taste them like Spain!Thank you for it guys!

My favorite Spanish restaurant in NYC! Been coming here for the past 6 years and it never disappoints!!! Love the tapas. Garlic shrimp is my go-to. Also love the charcuterie board and the tortillas. Even had my birthday dinner here once!

Always a great place to grab a glass of wine & a few tapas & a paella at the Bar area ❤️

Boqueria Experience. My suggestion is to go easy on the bread,potato and bread dishes served at the beginning. Save your dining experience for the latter part of the meal. The lamb meatballs are very tasty, soft, well seasoned. The paella at toward the end is the best, seafood is cooked just perfectly. Even the churros were worth the wait, crispy, hot and chewy. Service was great even though it was crowded and busy. Dont forget to order the sangria.

Place is nice and so were the staff, but honestly the food is not worth it it was alright but the portions are disappointing. Didn’t wanna bother with trying out their happy hour drinks. First and last experience probably wouldn’t recommend this place

The ambiance is really nice and cozy. My server was specially attentive and helpful, carefully describing dishes and making sure I was having a good experience. The food is good but served in small portions. I had the Alboldigas, which was nice but could’ve been accompanied by some bread, and also the Pan con tomate, which was a bit of a disappointment considering how little (close to nonetomatoes were in the toast. The sangria was outstanding.

Walked in by chance and had so much fun there! Really enjoyed all the food we had as well as the friendly service🥰 Paella was on point and totally worth the wait. We had the bar seats by the kitchen so it was kind of fun to watch the cooking in action as well. I’m not a big meat/ham person but the plate tasted pretty good! Loved the asparagus - they were perfectly grilled. Fresh and juicy! I would say we definitely ordered too much though. Next time I would have just one tapas in addition to the paella, and maybe then I will have room for dessert😋

This was my first time at this place and it was just amazing. Loved the drinks and food. Definitely a must try if you havent tried Spanish dishes.

Perfect service, great location, decent food, sensitive to allergies, ok pricing.I use this place to meet up with people I don’t know well yet, because I know it’s a safe option with good choices for most people, that I know isn’t going to be weird about serving a trans person with complex allergies. If you’re looking for such a place yourself — try this one. You won’t be disappointed. Will you be super-enthused about it after? Doubt it. But there’s all kinds of uses for restaurants beyond just eating, and this one is a good choice for those reasons.

Boqueria Soho is a really good tapas spot. My mom is a very big food critic and only had amazing things to say about the dishes. The lamb meatballs and anchovies were incredible. Plus the staff is so warm and welcoming. Overall would go back for happy hour because it’s a decently priced.

I celebrated my birthday with a friend here .We got paella medium size and it is a pretty big portion!!The rice is absorbed all the seafood flavor and it is very tasty!

Been here a few times for lunch and bottomless brunch. Food is always delicious and there are a lot of food options, great for sharing (tapas). Their bottomless brunch is one of my favourite in the city! Their sangrias are delicious.

Food and sangria tasted good but perhaps not enough to come back again just for the food and drinks. The ambience however is really nice and would be a great place for both dates and groups. A little pricey for what you get here.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THE PAIN CON TOMATE. So salty, oily, and delicious, we ordered more. Weve been here a few times, and this is one of those restaurants where its hard to know when to stop ordering... because theres so many great options. Are there more interesting places in Soho? Yeah... but this should definitely be in rotation if youre in the area for awhile and likely easier to get a table at than other options. Surprisingly the Paella was not a hit... and does take a long time so was hoping for more of an impact, so Id suggest sticking to their tapas. Their meatballs, patatas bravas, and croquetas are all important orders :)

Walked in and was seated immediately. We actually got a great table too! I’d been to another location so I knew what to order. Great food, excellent food. Ultimately, a great time!

Came here with friends to try some Spanish tapas. Everything was delicious and service was superb.A couple things: definitely not the cheapest of places but honestly everything that we tried was well worth it. Try and share the Medium paella with friends, really good! Start with some papas bravas and some tortilla de patatas (the tortilla is pretty small but you can share the patatas)We had sangria for drinks and we tried both rose and red wine sangrias. The rose one had a better taste but both were good. Definitely recommend!

The food is phenomenal! The service is great and very conducive. You can have a large party and order different food options and share.

Very nice tapas place to stop by , grab a bite and a drink!As many places, the table for two is too small when you order 4-5 dishes to share . Our waitress was great. I just think she checked on us too many times and was a bit overwhelming at times. However, I know she really wanted to take care of us.

Favorite tapas place!!! They have fabulous servers and great food. I suggest making a reservation because the host is a little rude for walk ins.

Nice tapas and Paella!Their paella is a must, tons of seafood with shrimp, squids, clams and mussels.To be mentioned, the paella is rather dry and crispy, which might be surprising for some of the people. (Personally I like it)Their patatas bravas (fried potatoesis also a wonderful tapa!It’s cheap and savory, comes with a great portion and super delicious!As for the prix fixe menu, I would suggest asking what’s in the menu to the waiter.I would suggest if there’s no paella or patatas in the set, you could switch to order dishes separately 😂A recommended Spanish tapa bar!

The service was very friendly, oue waitress kept asking about our food or if we needed something, he was very good in anyway.The food taste very yummy, everything was delicious, some portions are fine others are a hit expensive like the boquerones are only 7 but are really delicious.The patatas bravas are very yummy but they can also add the spicy sauce on the top, well this is my opinion because I love spicy, anyway you should try it because the potatoes are crunchy 😋.I didnt like the mixed of croquetas, just I didnt like the bechamel sauce 😕.The calabaza was fine but the I dont like pork so Ill never try again in this way.The restrooms are in good conditions and small .

Wow! I cant say enough good things about Boqueria Soho. I was so grateful for their hospitality, accommodating two tourists just off the street for dinner in an already busy restaurant when they could have easily turned us away. Instead, their staff welcomed us almost immediately to a cozy corner table and took their time to walk us through the menu and offer recommendations for our meal.Through multiple courses of drinks, small plates and dessert, every sip and every bite were phenominal! The standouts for me were the croquetas and the paella, both familiar dishes yet elevated. Plus, that jamon serrano is just bursting with flavor! We sat for a couple hours enjoying all our food and drinks, then finished with churros for dessert.Thanks to everyone for making this a highlight for our trip to New York!

A great dinner experience! Despite the restaurant being super busy for sitting down inside, we were offered outdoor dining and the cold wasn’t too bad. We had the patas bravas and a pitcher of sangria while we waited for our paella, which our server explained would take a while to come out. Paella was pretty good, enough for two people to share. For desert we had the churros con chocolate, delicious! It felt like we were dining in Spain again. A bit pricey buuut we were happy with the service and taste of our food, also our waitress was very helpful when I asked for suggestions on which tapas she would recommend.

An upscale place for a Spanish tapas style meal. I do love that they checked for vaccination cards prior to seating. We ordered their Serrano Ham, Tortilla Espanola, and Shishito peppers to start and they were as expected. Nothing mind blowing. But the Patatas Bravado (crispy potatoes were very delicious for someone who doesnt really fancy lots of potatoes). We also ordered the Grilled Octopus and its okay and the Seafood Paella was also okay.It took them way longer than 45 minutes for the Paella to arrive so I would recommend ordering that fast so they arrive on time.Because most of the food was just okay for the price thats caused me to rate a 4. I also came during a busy time (around 2 - 3 pmso maybe the food was very lightly or have sat out a little longer? Nonetheless, a great place for a bougie brunch with the ladies.

1. The lighting and the ambiance of this place was perfection.2. The service was everything, from the host holding our table after us being super late to our reservation, to our server being super knowledgeable about the menu, and steering us in the right direction!3. Now the food, wowowowowowow. We order the Patatas Bravas and chiiiiile it was devoured within seconds, it was TOO GOOD! We also orders half of the chicken, it was cooked so beautifully and the skin packed so much flavor I couldn’t believe! We also order a bread and cheese platter which a wonderful touch to our dinner! Everything was absolutely delish!4. The drinks, we ordered sangria! It was tasty, would o order it again? Probably not. We had both red and white and although it was filled to the brim for a great price, it was a bit watery! They was a variety alcohol from the menu so best believe I’ll be back again to try a different one 100%!Cheers ❤️‍🔥😝🥂

They do warn you but the paella was really slow. Eat inside because they go cold really easily! All the tapas were delicious and not salty.

Very good tapas restaurant. The white Anshobi was amazing! The eggplant salad with labaneh as well very very good. If you are vegetarian make sure to mention it, because they fry the potatoes in the same oil as the pork, so we avoided the potatoes. Service was good, prices reasonable.Some of dishes were a bit absurd - the Spanish omelette was served jointly with another dish we ordered (bread with tomato), so it basically consists just of omelette, spread and olives (they skipped the bread that was supposed to be attached, and saved on us by serving the two dishes together).The lettuce salad is not a salad - just lettuce leaves, with grated cheese and sauce. It was disappointing a little bit.

We ordered several dishes - the shrimp with garlic, mix plate (cheese and meat), octopus , Brussels sprouts with chorizo and salad with steak. The only one dish that wasn’t great was surprisingly the octopus. It didn’t feel fresh, it was very gummy and flavorless.Service was not great (it felt that they were very short - from the host to the waitress).

Great atmosphere and the outdoor seating was really nice. We had a delicious meal. Everything came quickly and our waiter was super nice. Five stars.

Great atmosphere sitting inside or outside, best to go with a group so you can nosh on more share plates. The garlic oil in the garlic shrimp IS. TO. DIE. FOR. Im not a lamb lover but the lamb meatballs is a crowd pleaser. Pickled sardines with chips also a must. Although good, the bacon dates, octopus, and charcuterie plates can be a skip if you had to choose between more starters or a main.You might be tempted to stick with your classic sangria, but the white sangria with bourbon with charred pineapple is the best drink on the menu!

We did the chefs testing menu at Boqueria and it was definitely worth the price! Some of the highlights for me were: the tomato bread, cheese and bread, mushroom truffle croquettes, corn, shrimp, the lamb sticks & seafood paella. Our server was very friendly, adjusting to dietary restrictions and ensured we were enjoying the experience!

Food was so good, and the waitress gave great advice. Some of our favorites were the croquettes and bacon wrapped dates. The paella was ok, but maybe we just didn’t enjoy it as much as the other dishes since we received that last and we were quite full by then.

A Soho gem! One of the best Spanish "tapas" style restaurants I have been to.Im so in love with the rose arbor at the front of the restaurant, its so gorgeous and such a nice way to stand out in Soho.Boqueria deserves a 5 across the board. Their service is impeccable. Their attention to every single detail is amazing. The cocktails are so unique and delicious. The wine list has a nice variety, there was a white Rioja that we wanted to try but unfortunately they were sold out. Our server Franklin was amazing, and very accommodating of any requests. We definitely cant wait to go back, and will surely request Franklin.A perfect spot for any occasion. The atmosphere is super chill, yet super intimate.Items ordered:- Shishito Margarita- Old Fashioned- Albondigas (lamb meatballs- so good!)- Aceitunas (marinated olives)- Manchego- Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp in lobster reduction)- Maiz Rustido (grilled corn)

OMG, their paella is the best one we ever had in NYC. We are so pleased what we finally found a Spanish restaurant does paella is perfect to our taste. Not too salty, and the rice not too soggy yet still full of flavor. We also love the grilled octopus, it’s juicy and tender. We only wish their portions could be a bit bigger.

Boqueria is very nicely encompasses what it’s like to dine in NYC. There’s a certain liveliness and energy to them! Keith, our server, was kind and friendly!The paella was delicious. They let you know it takes about 45 minutes to come out when you order. Everything else comes out quickly.My favorite was the croquettes - round ones were with mushroom and truffle. The square ones were with jamon. Both were delicious!The pan con tomate was fine. I think would’ve been better with more tomato. The octopus was also decent. Had better but it’s not bad.Overall a bit pricey. But you’re not just paying for the food.

First time in NYC and my friend and I decided to go here on a whim. We didnt have reservations and the hostess was able to find us a spot at the bar. Our bartender was awesome. The drinks were on point and the food was amazing! We tried the shrimp, tapas, paella, croquettes, and the fried potatoes and everything was delicious. Will definitely come back next time we are in NYC.

This is the second Boqueria branch where we ate and were not disappointed.The Tapas dishes were excellent the service was pleasant and professional and the atmosphere in the restaurant was happy and young.We enjoyed the food, the cold sangria and the atmosphere. warmly recommended.
