    I wish they would have had better wine. We were not satisfied with their wine by glass offer.

    We enjoyed a lunch of several tapas including anchovies, brussels sprouts, ham croquettas, and mushroom and onion flatbread. There is a nice selection of tapas as well as sandwiches, burgers and paella for lunch. Very relaxed atmosphere.

    Lively place. You need to like sitting on high stool and tables.

    We had an excellent dining experience at Boqueria. Not only was the service outstanding, but the value of the “Classics” menu option was great. We received 5/6 tapas in addition to the seafood paella and churros, and each one was a hit. Drinks are awesome as well. Definitely will be returning!

    Wish there was more choice in seating than those high top tables with the high seats. It’s not as comfortable as I would like. Wish the torta espagnola was served warm and not cold and wish they were a little more generous with the churros. There’s plenty of sauce left but not enough churros to dip. Liked that there are a bunch of different options for lunch.

    We had a fun time ordering many dishes. The meat tapas tended to be better. The service was excellent and everything was delivered promptly.

    My wife and I had a selection of Tapas this past Sunday evening. They brought the plates out individually so you could enjoy each selection. They were all delicious. The server was friendly and efficient. The decor is inviting.
