Boqueria Flatiron

Boqueria is a good dinner spot and a great place to start the night with some drinks and light tapas. It's not the best Spanish cuisine I've had, but it was respectable and tasty. Like many Spanish restaurants, it is fundamentally a tapas bar, so I highly recommend getting a few tapas in addition to a main dish (all of which is best shared). We went with the croquetas (my favorite), the tomates de verano (very unique, fresh and tasty) and the shishito peppers (good, but nothing special). Our group of three paired that with the medium-sized seafood paella ("paella de mariscos"), which was just the right amount of food altogether. If you're looking for a nice drink from their extensive menu, you won't go wrong with the sangria tinta. Prob best to make a reservation, but you might get lucky.

Lovely little restaurant for tapas. We had 6 plates and one salmon bowl for 4. All were excellent. Service was great, staff friendly and attentive without hovering. The food came out staggered in a reasonable amount of time and noise level was low enough that we could hear each other. Server was able to identify gluten-free options for me but they can't guarantee no cross-contamination which is honest at least! I did not get sick.

Was fortunate to book a table for 5 adults and 3 young kids last minute for special reunion of friends. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed at how well we were taken care of and accommodated given the circumstances. The atmosphere was lively. The food and service were top notch. We decided to go with the Chef's Menu - The Classics, which put less pressure on everyone to choose a dish. We were blown away at how each bite that arrived was just as delicious as the next. I highly recommend giving Boqueria Flatiron a try if you are in the mood for a tapas experience with a group of friends. Thank you!

Dined at Boqueria and opted for the “Boqueria Experience” at $65 per person. We were treated to an array of tapas and indulged in the seafood paella. While the flavors were spot-on and the ambience reminiscent of a true Barcelona tapas bar, the portion sizes left a bit to be desired for the combined $130 price point. We sampled the white, rosé, and piña sangrias, all of which were refreshingly tasty, though they could’ve packed a stronger punch. While I’d recommend giving Boqueria a visit, I might lean more towards ordering individual tapas à la carte on a future trip. Definitely a return-worthy spot!

First time customer, first time doing the tapas experience and let me just say wow. It was absolutely delicious. On paper almost every plate would have been something I would never pick but man am I glad I didn't have to, because I would have missed out on how good the food is and props to the chef! Literally every round of food was better than the last. I highly recommend you try it out!!

Cool place, with nice vibes, resembling a Spanish boqueria. Service was good. The noises however made the experience a little less enjoyable. It was really hard to hear each other around the table. If you can, if the weather allows, I recommend booking a table outside. The food was good. The patatas bravas were delicious and we ordered an extra portion. The paella takes 45 min to make. So plan your meal accordingly. We got churros for dessert with Nutella and Dulce de leche. Really good! Freshly made. Book in advance if possible.

Some of the better Spanish tapas we've enjoyed outside of Spain. Food was good not great, service was fine, they were attentive enough and the flow of our orders was well paced. We were seated on the patio on a very quiet day. The road was closed for a film shoot so it lacked some of that sidewalk patio ambience.

Amazing food! But the place was packed and very loud. Excellent location for 20-somethings, but my 30-50s ladies brunch felt a little overwhelmed. Also, it's important to note that if you'd like to do the endless drinks, everyone at the table must drink. And when some folks don't drink, it doesn't really work. The host was so welcoming and willing to take photos for our group. The waiters were a little disorganized. Maybe because it was busy--hectic. I would absolutely go again for the food, however... ideally at a less busy time.

Went to Boqueria as we went to Kleinfeld and wanted a good margarita. It is very welcoming when you arrive. I'm not sure if it's because we were joking with the staff in Spanish, but their signature margarita came out fast (its a jalapenos infused served with a toasted jalapenos). For some ppl, taste for this is unfamiliar and possibly overwhelming, so the second rounds... Rose Sangria and regular margaritas. They were delish but seemed to go extra fast. Provided free bread then ordered (tapas) finger foods, and they were a good light compliment to the drinks. Our server seemed to disappear for a little bit, eventually returned.
