Sam SDecember 21, 2015Everyone tells you to get the patatas bravas, and you should! But the pintxos morunos (lamb skewers) are perfection. Best tapas in the city, by far.
Michael SiskJune 26, 2016Bottomless Brunch for $39. 4 tapas, 2 breakfast dishes, 1 dessert, and 4 drink choices (mimosas, red, white, and special sangria). Wifi password is "NutellaChurros"
Renz PeeSeptember 25, 2016I absolutely loved this place. Went here with a group of 8 women. The ambiance and service were good- not too loud. I also loved that there were non shellfish tapas and paella options. Food was delish
Tim Van den heedeApril 24, 2017Nice athmosphere, great service, Squid dish came luke warm, great taste but hotter was better, pan con tomate at the level of an average Barcelona tapas bar, great wines, chorizo/ manchego great !
- Mariel LëmairNovember 29, 2016It can get *very* loud in here [no matter at what time of the day you stop by] Start with the bacon wrapped date—it has a nice surprise of a crunchy almond when you bit into this bite-sized delight!
The wine is a smidge pricey, but this is still one of the coziest spots in the area to sit down for tapas and red wine. Plus, wicked friendly staff.
- Marissa CSeptember 19, 2018Always crowded and loud, but solid tapas. Can't go wrong with some ham, garlic shrimp and octopus. Top it off with the Txakolina wine and watch them pour it to effervescent deliciousness!
Sam PezzulloDecember 21, 2013Best to go with a large group so you can order as much as possible. Everything is delicious! My favorites are the lamb meatballs, patatas bravas, and the tortilla.
Destination: Anywhere & EverywhereDecember 16, 2014Great tapas restaurant in the city. Order the white sangria! The lamb albondigas, sautéed spinach with pine nuts and the spicy shrimp with garlic were amazing dishes. You won't be disappointed.- Salvatore CanforaJune 16, 2017Pan tomate is very good but try the shrimps, they are served in a garlic soupe! Cozy and authentic enviroment, open until late
Ms HeleneSeptember 17, 2014Steamed mussels white wine, chorizo & toasted bread $14 and sautéed spinach pine nuts, raisins, chickpeas & lemon $7. Highly recommended. Gets busy so book or go early to sit at the bar.
Mayza MeloAugust 14, 2015Awesome place nd awesome food! Good place to enjoy in the end of the day, have the best rose sangria that u ever tried, and bests tapas! Try paella, it's pretty great!
Elvis RodricksDecember 4, 2016Beer sangria was very refreshing. Croquettes, bacon dates and cast iron shrimp hit the spot. Portions were generous and service impeccable. Skip the nutella churros. Great tapas place!
Brent LawlessJuly 8, 2016Delicious Spanish style tapas. Meat and cheese plates are a great start, followed by some gambas and lamb skewers.
amy pelletierAugust 30, 2016I love this place, very good selection of Spanish wines and beer, the flank steak with peppers and potatoes is fabulous and they have wonderful Serrano hams and Spanish cheeses. 👌🏼
Joan ParkJanuary 16, 2015i would go back for the red sangria and nutella stuffed churros. bacon wrapped dates, flatbread with pork belly and octopus were okay. skip the croquetas and patatas bravas.
funky flavorJune 4, 2016The patatas bravas, the mushroom croquete and the meat balls are great. Also try the quail eggs if you can!! Very worth it for a tapas night and light eating.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 14, 2011Incredible and authentic Spanish Tapas! Enjoy Sangria and a meal of Cojonudoi, Datiles con Beicon, Salteado de Setas, Gambas al Ajillo and Patatas Bravas.
Serious EatsApril 2, 2013A long wine list and high energy makes this tapas bar good for a night out with groups, though note that the small plates can quickly add up in price.
Trang TranAugust 26, 2016Everything was great here especially the pork belly. The skin was super crispy while the meat/fat just melts in your mouth.
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 7, 2021Awesome iberico ham, manchego cheese and pan con tomate, potato bravas and dates. Tempranillo wine
Amaury JMay 28, 2018I really loved it, and felt like I was in Spain for a quick second, but I think it’s a bit overpriced for what you get! Everything was delicious, though.
ºDamian White ºApril 25, 2012Fantastic, AUTHENTIC Spanish tapas! Was a nice return from Spain, after our craving for the cuisine. Filled that hungry void for some good Tortilla, Squid & Croquetas nicely. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Daily specials are available in addition to their fixed menu. Opt for the tortilla, bacon-wrapped dates, and albondigas; and don't forget to ask for more bread.
Peggy ChanSeptember 25, 2012what is there not to love? personal favorites are the lamb meatballs, serrano ham and mushroom croquettes, dates with bacon, espinaca dish and flat bread with mushroom, chorizo and caramelized onion
Namitta ShankarJune 27, 2012Broccoli con valdeon-brilliant, Espinacas a la catalana- too much salt Patatas bravas- flavorful, Aged manchego- fantastic,Sangrias- best I've had in NYC. Not great service (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Matthew CaldecuttSeptember 6, 2019The salted anchovies were my favorite, but the croquetas and lamb meatballs were great too. The plates are for sharing, but four dishes went a long way
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Venture farther inside and find lamb kebabs doused with sharp salsa verde, baby octopus salad, and sausage crostini surmounted by a fried quail egg. Read more
محمد السجاNovember 12, 2014One of the best restaurants in nyc. Great pimientos, patatas bravas, pan con tomate, gambas al ajio, flan. Great atmosphere as well! Enjooooy!
Untapped CitiesAugust 18, 2017While many “Spanish” restaurants often combine Spanish food with Mexican and Latin-American foods, Boqueria sticks to authentic European Spanish cooking. Read more
Erin SheaNovember 9, 2018Definitely a loud restaurant but the bacon wrapped dates are worth the noise. They are divine.
Gabriel HayesApril 1, 2015So many amazing sangrias. Loved the Sangria De Naranja Sanguina (Blood Orange, Tequila, Lime Cordial topped with cava or beer)
Hayley SchulkindApril 1, 2016All of their tapas dishes are delicious,especially Gambas al Ajillo, Escalivada, and the Pintxos Morunos. Patatas Bravas are a must!
sue qFebruary 16, 2015Great tapas. Order the fish on special. Great fluke and Amazing scallops. Bread with tomato.
CarrieSeptember 4, 2021Everything was good, and the portions were bigger than expected for tapas. I really liked the eggplant dip
Gerardo PanzaMarch 28, 2021I didn’t try Paella but my wife and I ate Some entrance however next time we will go for Paella, looks delicious
ᴡ BNovember 7, 2015Get the bacon-wrapped dates, croquetas, and jamón serrano. Enjoy a pitcher of red sangria while you're there too!
Morgan PolotanMarch 27, 2016Gambas al Ajillo and Patatas Bravas are the two best tapas on the menu. Octopus and bacon-wrapped dates are mediocre.
honeywhatscooking.comMay 17, 2014Patatas Bravas. White Sangria. Mushroom croquettes. Shush uti Margarita - similar to Jalapeño Margarita. Churros & Chocolate sauce. Seafood Paella is pretty good.- DinaApril 24, 2014Some of the best tapas in NYC. Shrimp with garlic, croquettas and potato bravas are a must. Very busy and fills up fast.
Valentina MonteMarch 18, 2013LOVE it here. Order anything and everything. Particularly: prosciutto/cheeses, brussel sprouts, garlic shrimp, chorizo, and everything else on the menu.
The croquetas are sublime. The tortilla is delicious as well. If they have the Brussels sprouts, apple and pine nuts as a special, get it!!
Tanner ChristensenNovember 1, 2015Blood orange mimosas for brunch, try the oxtail stuffed peppers, lamb meatballs, or croquettes. Can't go wrong.
Rosi Liriano FacendaSeptember 14, 2018Sangrias are a must.. very good, very strong. Plus tapas are awesome. Space a little bit tight but fine
Rachel WangSeptember 13, 2014Great spot for post work tapas and drinks! Food comes out quickly too. Come before 8pm to snag a table easily- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014If you are tired of the same old tapas, head to Boqueria, which is one of the best tapas bars in town. Read more
Ya GSeptember 1, 2013Gambas al Ajillo, Dátiles con Beicon, Salteado de Setas : everything is really good here :)
