Boqueria Soho

From beginning to end, our experience was lovely. Delicious selections of tapas, a variety of options and menus to choose from. We dined during Happy Hour on a Saturday. (4pm-6pm) The front of the house staff were verh welcoming, servers were attentive. Ambiance was amazing, dim lighting yet could still read the menus, music was a plus, very chic, vibe was awesome. We asked one of the servers about the music. She said it was an AI program that detects the amount of diners and sets tone of music. (Fewer would play mellow and Vice versa) See attached pics.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the space. The food was excellent. I came here with a new friend and we were greeted by the staff. We made it just in time for happy hour and they happily accommodated us with menus. The food was fresh and delicious. I love the smaller plates to share with others. We were also seated near the open kitchen so our food came quickly. This is a great place for good food and socialization. There were a lot of people after happy hour ended from work. When we arrived, it was pretty empty.

Boqueria is located in the heart of Soho and conveniently within walking distance from the Spring St subway station. After window shopping, my family and I decided to try Boqueria. The hostess asked for my number and entered it into their system before seating us at a booth table. The ambiance was perfect for our lunch date. I informed our server about my food allergies. Tapas *sharing is caring* Boquerones con Naranja Tortilla Española Mejillones con Azafrán: The steamed mussels were flavorful. Sadly, I ate all the bread and wished for more to dip into the delicious sherry and saffron sauce. Half Pollo Rustido: The Catalan-style roasted chicken was finger-licking goodness. Bookmark this spot to try!

It's raining cats and dogs here in NYC, so I decided to have some comfy Spanish food at Boqueria Soho (there are several location in NY and in DC). There is a Boqueria in DC and I go there often. The location here in New York is packed, but as usual I sat at the bar and No Problem. A glass of Albariño, some mellow music and great tapas... With octopus. Plus, mushroom croquetas, pinchos morunos, pan en tomat, another Albariño. And a small, seafood paella with socarrat. Great service at the bar!! What else can a human want?

I went for Brunch today. I wanted to try the Brunch Feast. It's usually served for more than one person. My guest couldn't make it and they were able to accommodate it for a party of 1. 2 appetizers and 3 bigger plate items. They sized down some items for one person and I still had food left to take home. I had the meatballs, patatas bravas, huevos horneados (favorite!), French toast and the mushroom flatbread and churros. Everything was pretty good. It wasn't amazing but good. And the value was really good. $29 for all of that!? The service was also really good. The people were really kind. I'd recommend it.

Boqueria in Soho offers an intriguing dining experience with its well-crafted "Boqueria Experience" tasting menu. Although it comes at a premium, the quality and presentation of the food justify the expense. The Croquetas de Setas stood out as a personal favorite--perfectly crispy on the outside with a deliciously creamy mushroom filling inside. The ambiance of Boqueria matches the quality of the food; the interior is trendy, and the music lively, setting a vibrant backdrop for a meal out in the city. Another big plus is the seating arrangement. There's plenty of space, and the tables are well-spaced, which is a relief if you're used to the often cramped conditions of NYC dining spots. While the food is undoubtedly delightful, one slight drawback is that you might find yourself a bit hungry afterwards. The portions are on the smaller side, typical of a tapas-style meal, so it might not satisfy if you're exceptionally hungry. Overall, Boqueria Soho is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality Spanish cuisine in a lively and stylish setting. Just consider grabbing a snack afterwards if you're still peckish!

tl;dr: pretty solid place if you're in the mood for some tapas Food: 9/10 The tapas were pretty decent. We did the Boqueria experience which was a healthy amount of food. The paella was delicious. Definitely try the 36-month aged jamon. It's spectacular and very flavorful. Service: 9/10 Our waiter was pretty chill. Waters were kept filled and he made sure we were taken care of and check in regularly. Ambiance: 9/10 Chill and inviting. It'll work for date night or getting together with a small group of friends.

I'm a huge fan of Boqueria and have even hosted my birthday here last year. Unfortunately, I felt quite miffed from my experience here last night. See below for specifics on each category: Food: White Sangria, Patatas Bravas, bocadito de jamon. So yummy! Always love getting a pitcher and snacks to share with friends. Service: 5 of us walked in at 5 and were sat down and served fast. Unfortunately, it felt like our server was not happy that we only ordered 2 tapas in the beginning and wanted to hurry us out of there. We weren't even done eating and he began taking our plates away and gave us the check before we asked for it. We were going to order another pitcher, but decided not to because it felt as if we were unwelcome. I would understand if the restaurant was busy, but many tables were empty at the time ‍. Ambiance: cute as always! Great place to bring someone who enjoys fun and fancy environments

A nice place in the middle of Soho, New York. It' features very authentic food from Spain, has an open kitchen and a great happy hour(4:00-6:00) that features patatas bravas for six dollars and it's huge, delightful Spanish wines for eight dollars a glass. I think this is my fourth time here and I will be back again soon. When it gets crowded, it could be a little noisy, but I like coming here early happy hour just right

Such a beautiful and clean spot, had lunch here on a summer Friday and it was easy to get a table. Fairly quiet but enough people to feel lively. Then the food... incredible! The eggplant is absolutely delicious DO NOT sleep on it. I'll come back here and take all my friends.

I came here for a team dinner with work and was surprised at how good our experience was. We had about 15 people and they did a great job keeping the food and drinks coming. The food was actually really excellent and there were multiple things we had throughout the night that I was truly surprised by the execution/flavor. I was expecting the food to be kind of meh considering that it was a chain but I felt like it was just as good as anywhere else. I also really appreciated the wine menu. We had several bottles of a middle of the road Tempranillo that was delicious and only $75.

I came here for a late lunch on a weekday, and it was very chill. Not many people and not loud, and my server was very friendly. I ordered the fideuà negro, which is a squid ink noodle paella with some seafood. Paella generally takes a bit of waiting, and the waiter told me about 30 minutes, but I think I waited less than 20, so I was surprised. The paella had 6 shrimps with some mini scallops hidden underneath. It was more seafood than what I actually had expected (given the economy lol), so I was genuinely surprised. And it was cooked really well with the crunchiness on the edges, and the savouriness was fantastic. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, and the ailoi also blended in nicely. Overall, this was really great for a single serving.

Only captured a photo of this uniquely delicious marg, but in terms of food - I was quite impressed with the availability of vegetarian options here! Standouts were the tomato bread and the mushrooms. The staff was quite friendly and coming here for a work event, this was a really enjoyable experience. Can't say I'd be back on my own, but quite a solid spot especially if you want a larger group at the last minute

Loved this restaurant! We brought some of our favorite clients here for lunch before a happy hour, and they were all very pleased. Our excellent waiter, Jeffrey, recommended the chef's tasting menu ($52 per person), which was perfect for our large group. The dishes kept coming, with generous portions and delicious flavors. Our favorite was, of course, the seafood paella! We also loved the ambiance.

(Overall: 90% | A) - Overall, I think the tapas had all have a rustic take on a wide variety of dishes. The restaurant is lively and the service is great. The food is high quality and enjoyable overall! (Hanger Steak: 100% | A+) - The pairing works really well with the aioli and asparagus. The steak is cooked tenderly and pairs well with every component of the dish including the pearl onions. (Jamon Iberico: 97.5% | A) - This 36-month aged ham is truly a prize. The flavor is well flavored and intense and pairs well with the small pickles and the rustic bread. (Paella: 82.5% | B) - The seafood is tender, but a little underwhelming here. Furthermore, the rice is a little bit undercooked. (Pimientos De Padron: 80% | B) - The shishitos are not too spicy and have a nice crispiness. The seasoning was pleasant, but minimalistic with lots of room for flavor development. (Pan Con Tomate: 80% | B) - The tomato garlic and olive oil combination tastes great and is comforted well by the bread. I think the bread was a bit too soft and would benefit from a bit of a char. (Maiz Rustido: 90% | A) - The corn is seasoned very nicely and the lime and chili combination pairs well to elevate the sweetness of the corn. (Patatas Bravas: 87.5% | B) - The sweet potatoes are crispy and very tasty and pairs well with the garlic aioli for some creaminess. I think the dish has room to benefit from some garnish on top for both presentational and flavor development aspects. (Gambas Al Ajillo: 95% | A) - The shrimp is incredibly tender and the broth has an exquisite flavor where it is clear that a lot of thought and flavor development went into creating the broth. (Churros Clasicos: 82.5% | B) - The combination of sweet x salty works nicely for a dessert. However, I found the chocolate sauce to be too heavy and detract from the dessert. IG: @amei.eats

Everything about our meal here was excellent. The service was top notch and our waiters were very attentive and informative, while maintaining just the right amount of distance while we ate. The food itself was awesome -- each dish expertly executed, presented, and full of flavor. It's clear the menu was poured over time and time again such that every menu item is nearly the same caliber as others. Each tapa has its own distinct flavor. The space itself is elegant. We were lucky to sit in one of the rounded corner booths, which really enhanced the experience. The drinks we ordered were also delicious, the MARGARITA DE ROSAS and SIDRA sangria. I would happily order these again. We ordered the BOQUERIA EXPERIENCE ($65), which was 7 dishes for us, but I've heard the number can vary based on the individual dishes chosen by the server. This was the perfect amount of food for us -- we were stuffed at the end and had a bit of flatbread to bring home. We asked for a few tapas in particular to be incorporated, then our server went to work putting the rest of the set together. In order of deliciousness: GAMBAS AL AJILLO - A clear favorite for me, shrimp in garlic-infused olive oil, served with fresh, warm bread. The roasted garlic slices were aplenty, allowing us to add a few pieces for each bite, topped with shrimp. Highly recommend requesting this in your experience as a must-eat. ESCALIVADA - A close second, this dish was lighter than the prior. I could have eaten so much of this. The smooth chopped eggplant, peppers, and herb mixture laid atop yogurt. The mixture was very rich, while the yogurt toned it down just a bit -- the perfect balance. I really enjoyed this one. JAMON IBERICO DE BELLOTA - This dish is the main draw of getting the Boqueria Experience rather than the Classic Experience. The cured pork was rich and buttery. I appreciated the novelty of eating this fancy pork a bit more than the actual taste of the dish (which was good, but not the best thing in the world). I do wish there were more pork slices to go on the bread. PATATAS BRAVAS - These are no ordinary fried potatoes, I promise. They are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, seasoned generously, and served with a bold salsa underneath. The salsa is what makes this dish really special -- be sure to coat every piece in the warm sauce. It enhances every bite. CROQUETAS DE SETAS - Another perfectly crisp dish. The mushroom filling mixed with the truffle aioli creates an incredibly rich flavor, best enjoyed in small doses, making the 2 pieces just enough. Test Dish: Short Rib Stuffed Peppers - The stuffed peppers were good, but not my favorite in this lineup. Plenty of juicy rib inside of each pepper, but this dish came up somewhat short compared to the rest (which in all honesty is hard to follow up). The highlight was really the puree underneath which was similar to a very smooth mashed potato (could have been polenta) -- provided a nice diversity in the dish. Test Dish: Mushroom and Sausage Flatbread - Also very good, but similar to the stuffed peppers, came up somewhat short. All of the ingredients worked well together, but it ended up being a little messy as the sausage and mushroom tended to fall off of the flatbread with every bite. Granted, having the leftovers in isolation the next day felt like a luxury. Churros with Chocolate Sauce - A nice ending to a wonderful meal. The chocolate dipping sauce could not have been more delicious. It was similar to a fine cup of hot chocolate at a fancy chocolatier's shop. Value: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

Very nice experience! This was my first time here and I had a great time. The seafood tastes really good. The service was fast. It was kinda tight in the restaurant but it was fine. It was also pretty busy. They the paella tasted flavourful. We also got the steak. It was really good!

Came here around 5:30 on a Tuesday after shopping in Soho with my boyfriend. The only seats available were the chef's counter, which ended up being a great experience! Even though the place was busy, service was quick and all the employees seemed to really care about the customers. 4 different employees asked us how we were doing. We got the small paella, 36-month aged ham, lamb skewers, Brussels sprouts, and mushroom flatbread (special, not on the menu). Everything was delicious!

We stopped in for a tapas lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy but tables were turning over every few minutes so we were promptly seated. The server tried to sell us the "Sunday Brunch" even though we indicated we only wanted several small plates to share. I can't fault him for that -- I'm sure the management directed him to do so. But he tried again even after we indicated our intentions. Upselling once is fine -- twice is too much. I like the way drinks and wine are described on the menu. Some examples: "Easy to Love," "Earthy & Adventurous," "Fresh & Herbaceous," "Light & Fruity," "Dark & Moody." I was in the mood for something dark and moody see I went with the Cafecito -- but I found the drink rather drink light and watery. My wife ordered a beverage from the Refrescante (zero alcohol) selections (a Genciana). She reports that is was indeed light and refreshing. As for our tapas, the Boquerones con Naranja were very good. The Albóndigas were slightly dry but tasty. I really enjoyed the contrast between the crunchy exterior and creamy rich interior of the Croquets de Setas. Patatas Bravas are always good. The only thing I didn't care for were the Dátiles con Beicon. The taste was a bit too sweet for me and I found the combination of dry, over cooked bacon wrapped around a mushy date quite unpleasant. It was worth trying, but I wouldn't order it again. We finished with Churros Clásicos. You can't go wrong with fried sweet things dipped in creamy hot chocolate! I've been to one of the other locations for dinner a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our visit to the SoHo location was not quite as satisfying (thus one less star), but the meal was still acceptable and I'd gladly eat here again.

Very unique Spanish style cafe. Service was good like any other New York restaurants. You have to be very choosy on the food not everything was to my liking. It's Tapas style small dishes. The seating area was not very comfortable and constantly traffic back & forth was literally hitting my chair with no apologies. In New York standard I was not impressed.

Really 3.5 but I rounded up. Came on a Friday night to celebrate a friends graduation. We didn't have a res so had a 40 minute wait for a table for 3. Very cute intimate ambiance. The front has an area dedicated to charcuterie building and the kitchen in the back. The menu has lots of options, tapas style with some paellas. Overall the food was good, not great. I had the bacon wrapped dates which are VERY indulgent. I don't think one person could finish all three so plan to share. Wasn't my favorite as I think the sweetness of the dates overpowered and perhaps the bacon should have been more salty. I opted for the seafood rice paella but the squid ink one my friend got was way better. I'd definitely recommend that one. We also tasted the octopus which was over cooked. The shrimp scampi was nice. Service was good. I wouldn't mind returning to try some other options.

Excellent paella del mariscos. Definitely recommend. Would come back again for the dish.

Raw 3.75, rounding up I have visited W40 location and Soho was better Music is a little too loud to have a conversation Food 3.75/5 Patatas Bravas-- 3.75/5 Overly fried Camarones--3.75/5 Way too much oil for so little shrimp but the extra garlic made up for it Asparagus--4/5 Best of the night-- nutty and citrusy Paella-- 3.75/5 It was bland but good still Drinks 4/5 Manzana cider--4/5 Refreshing and there's a ginger slice Shishito margarita--4/5 The pepper is torched Service 5/5 It was busy and our server Paolo was quick, attentive, and witty Price 3.75/5 2 drinks 3 appetizers 1 paella (main entree) small portion Total $118 before tax and tip Tapas are small but I still feel like we got full and it would cost more at other Soho restaurants Cleanliness 4.5/5 I did not use the bathroom but the server did clean off the table with a brand new cloth before dessert

Shrimp broth went stupid. Less dinged up than expected after a full pitcher of sangria and some pregame pops. Was promised a bread reload that never happened. Didn't try everything (not fat) but rankings: 1. shrimp 2. croquettes 3. shishitos 4. meatballs 5. tuna 6. paella thing

We sat outside in the patio. While there's a roof and fans, it did become hot. The brunch feast deal is amazing. You can pick a variety of dishes and the portions were huge. The churros were a bit on the hard side. Service is top notch.

A few friends and I went to Boqueria for Restaurant Week and we had a fabulous time! The red wine sangria was excellent and the pitcher was perfect for the three of us. I would recommend getting the croquettes. They were perfectly cooked and so tasty. Unfortunately our meatballs were a little dry. The ambience is really cute, romantic lighting and all. Perfect for a date or group dinner with friends!

I was walking around in Soho and got really hungry, so I went into this tapas place. It was such a pleasant surprise! Since I'm not familiar with Mexican cuisine, I just ordered randomly, but every dish turned out to be delicious.

Really cute place as we were walking in the neighborhood. Amazing food and flavours. - Gambas del AJILLO - wow!!! The flavour is so rich and out of this world. The supplied bread js something I haven't had before served at a tapas place. Excellent. - Patatas bravas - so glad we ordered this. Superb flavour, lslughtly soicy. This is MUCH more than the standard latatas bravas found in most tapas places. It's more like hash fried potatoes, really crispy. - croquettas de seta (mushroom) - simply superb flavour. Really good consistency too. - eggplant - the supplied bread was crunchy and goes really well. - corn - amazing again. The portions were generous too! Highly recommended ！ Oh and the service was superb.

I had a quick visit to NYC and a quick meal with a dear friend. He suggested Boqueria since I needed to visit the Birkenstock store on the same street. Let me tell you, THE SANGRIA IS FANTASTIC! We also had a cheese board and seafood paella. The food was delicious. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy. If the weather allows take advantage of the outdoor seating.

For me, dining at Boqueria was like dining at a restaurant in the airport. The food and atmosphere were good enough for the moment, but there was nothing about the Boqueria experience that would give me reason to return.

Had a wonderful dinner here! Came during happy hour and got the Escalivada, Patatas Bravas, and Croquetas De Setas to share. For the main, we got the Paella De Mariscos. This was a perfect size for 2 people. The Patatas Bravas were really delicious and flavorful but a little too burnt; however, the Escalivada was a really fresh counterpart. The Paella De Mariscos was perfect! Service was very attentive and knowledgeable. The ambiance was stylish and fun with high-top tables. I would come here again and would recommend for anyone interested in tapas!

We had 2 hours to kill while in soho so we picked bouqueria. I'm giving it a 4 star because the service was just ok. We had to keep asking for more water. The bacon wrapped dates was too sweet for a starter but it was a good try. The gambas was very good. It was served hot and was perfect on a cold day. Seafood paella took 45 minutes to make so it was just perfectly since we were killing time. I don't normally like paella but this was delicious. The seafood was soft especially the calamari. The rice was very flavorful. It seems to me they used the seafood stock to cook the rice . I would definitely have this again.

This is a cute restaurant in Soho for a date night. The interior is decorated nicely and there are lots of 2 person tables. The menu is tapas styles, meaning it gets quite expensive as each plate is at least $7 for a bite or 2. Note that if you want to order the paella, there is a 45 min wait. We tried the meatball bowl, lamb skewer, and potatoes bravas, all split between 2 people. The lamb was delicious and well seasoned. It was served on a small slice of bread. It's a bit hard to share though. The potatoes bravos were also delicious, they were crispy on the outside and soft inside. The bowl was very disappointing though. It completely lacked flavor. It contained unseasoned chickpeas, cucumbers, black rice, and 3 meatballs. Nothing stood out about it and I feel like I could've made it at home. Although the food was mostly good, I was a little disappointed by the service. The waiter was clearly trying to upsell us a lot. We started our order with the meatball bowl and he immediately told us that we cannot order it as a single serving. He said that it wouldn't be enough food for one person and that we need to order at least 6 more tapas. The bowl definitely was big enough for a single person, but I guess he was trying to promote the tapas dining style. It came off as pretty condescending though, and we explained that we hadn't told him the rest of our order yet. As we continued ordering, he kept trying to get us to order more. It felt pretty pushy and I didn't enjoy that. Overall, the food is good depending on what you order. In the future, I probably would only come here for drinks for the ambience. Be wary of the upselling!

I love boqueria. The batatas bravas is my absolutely favorite. I could eat that for days. The elote corn, lamb skewers, and garlic shrimp also very good. The music and vibes were great. Service also impeccable. I'd highly recommend. My only complaint is that the tables are super small. Considering the idea is tapas style there's going to be multiple things ordered, you'd think the tables would be bigger.

Would absolutely recommend the seafood paella to share! This is the closest to the paella I've had in Barcelona and one of the yummiest, with perfectly seasoned and cooked seafood. For a group of four, sharing 3 tapas and the paella (and a sangria pitcher) was the perfect amount for us.

Tapas in Soho!! Food and service was outstanding, just a bit (maybe a lot) overpriced in my opinion. Our server was super nice and helped us through all of our dietary restrictions, pointing out what we could and could not have on the menu. Food also came out very fast. We got the patatas bravas, jamón, gambas, albóndigas, pintxos morunos, croquetas setas, and the tortilla española. Really delicious across the board. Surprised to see that it was listed as a $$ restaurant though. I strongly think you need at least three plates per person for a dinner, which will bring you to $30 before tax and tip and drinks. My group was already at $40 / person (after tax and tip, with no drinks) and we still had to grab some food elsewhere afterwards to feel full. Portions were a little small to justify the price, especially the non-meat plates. All in all, really good food for a meh price point. Pro tip - to make the bill a little more reasonable, book your reservation on Seated for some money back.

yummy paella. amazing vibes. perfect for NYC summer! go with a huge group of friends & have a blast

Shout out to Joanne for serving us today! It was the perfect cozy place to hang today for brunch on a rainy day. Joanne was so pleasant, professional and not once did we feel rushed. The food between 3 of us (mind you 2 of which were grown men), was perfect for sharing tapas. We ordered the mushroom and ham croquettes, beef & pork meatballs, patatas bravas, bacon-wrapped dates, and of course French toast (which was very unexpected and perfect blend of fluffy, sweet and lemony). Great vibes and again thanks Joanne for being attentive and so pleasant!

Hella NYC. That's how I felt when I walked in. Everyone's out having a good time enjoying tapas. What We Ordered: + Patatas Bravas (crispy potatoes, garlic aioli), 5/5 + Pintxos Morunos (lamb skewers, pickled shallots), 5/5 + Almejas en Salsa Verde (manila clams), 5/5 + SMALL Paella de Mariscos (bomba rice, monkfish, sepia, squid, shrimp, clams, mussels, saffron, salsa verde), 5/5 Every dish was so delicious! Food came out fast, servers and bartenders were friendly. There's bar seating and outdoor seating. One of my favorite meals in NYC. The small paella took about 30-45 minutes to cook, and it feeds about 2-3. We shared this between the two of us and still had paella left over. It tasted AMAZING the morning after. Definitely coming back.

Service was terrible. Lack of attention and unprofessional attitudes. Takes forever to order and get some water from beginning to the end. The chef was great though. He absolutely knew what he was doing. Was very caring for the food. Half of the rice on the paella pan was hard and not good very well. The seasoning was good as well as the tender seafoods. The patatas was crispy and good. The gambas was way too salty but tender like the seafoods on paella. Lamb skewer's still had a bit of strong lamb meat taste. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $100+ Recommended dishes Seafood Paella, Patatas Bravas, Gambas Al Ajillo

Great food and ambience. Lots of options, including many vegetarian friendly tapas and paella.

Came here on a Friday night was seated pretty fast. Place was some what filled They carry good wine from Spain. Food was okay the jomon was not as good. I would come back for the wine and cheese plate

So my boyfriend took me here on Tuesday night. I ordered the paella and he ordered pulpo a la plancha with the potatoes. The potatoes were terrible, they were burned. The paella was hard very crispy and stuck to the pan. It was a terrible experience. It wasn't a busy night so I don't understand why the food came out so terrible.

I'm obsessed with tapas so it's hard for me to go to a tapas restaurant and have a bad time. I really enjoyed this place. We ordered the pan con tomate, patatas bravas, the meatballs, salad and finally the churros. Everything was really good! I've had better tapas in my life but for a chain it was really enjoyable. Our table was a little wonky, it was really hard to get up and go to the bathroom. I also know the waiters and managers were really pushing for us to leave. Not a big deal, but it would've been nice to not feel so rushed. Pro tip: definitely go here for happy hour. The food and drink deals are incredibly worth it.

Once again I'm enjoying brunch here at Boqueria. Wonderful atmosphere and most importantly delicious food. Our server Ashley is doing a great job with an infectious smile that makes you wanting to order more. If you are in the area this is a must visit. Super authentic with a slightly modern flair. A brunch ambiance that is great for chilling with the family or friends.

Really liked the croquetas de setas. Everything else was good too. The arroz con salmón had a lot of individually strong flavoring that was a bit much together

Sangria always good, the other dishes not worth it at all. The paella tasted fishy??? I know it's a seafood paella but it just wasted weird. When I went they had pretty floral decorations.

My experience at Boqueria was not bad. The majority of their menu is tapas style, they recommend 2 items per person. I'm not much of a pork or red meat eater so their menu didn't appeal to me as much. I opted to do the large seafood paella and split this with a friend. The paella was okay. We noticed some of the mussels were empty, so this was a bit disappointing. We really enjoyed the patatas bravas. They were packed with so much flavor. We loved it so much we ordered a second bowl.

Absolutely love Boqueria's Gambas Al Ajillo--they're my go-to every visit. Don't miss out on the Grilled Octopus; it's a definite must-try.
