Boqueria Flatiron

Such great food AND we know some folks from Spain who love this place and give it the “legit!” seal of approval. It’s loud and festive so don’t come here expecting candles and peace. The romance is the love affair with the food, the service and your company.

Food was absolutely spectacular, with a lot of great and diverse options. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was extremely friendly and prompt. The restaurant is a bit crowded and loud, but it’s certainly lively. I would highly recommend this place!

It is more a fast food place than a tapas bar or a restaurant. We ordered our cocktail and the food. EVERYTHING came at once all together.<br><br>Typically we like to have our cocktail with maybe one vegetable tapas, then some white wine with the fish tapas; then some red wine with the meat… you know a Saturday night nice diner. We ended up eating everything with our cocktail :/<br><br>I told the waiter that this was disappointing and his excuse was that this is how it works in Spain… I lost it because I go to Spain quite often and typically in tapas places you order some food with the drinks then order for more. It is a slow chill service mode. If you wanna do it the Spanish way you should explain it that it is an “order as you eat” kind of menu.<br><br>The food was good though. Just be smart and order gradually, we were in and out in 30 min on a Saturday night. It was sad.

Handsomely appointed tapas restaurant with a great vibe. I really enjoyed the experience. Service is attentive but the kitchen can be slow. The food is muy authentico!

I had an incredible lunch here! The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor—truly some of the best Spanish cuisine I’ve found in the city. Despite the Manhattan rush, the service was professional and attentive, and the atmosphere was so pleasant and welcoming. It’s the perfect place to escape the busy streets for a fantastic meal. Highly recommended!

This place is phenomenal! Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is stellar! The location is very cozy and buzzing with conversation. If you’re looking for great food and a great vibe this is definitely your place!

Loved this place. We had croquettes, charcuterie and paella. Everything was delicious. Also had a really nice Spanish Cabernet which was a real delight. This place is really cute, we’ll definitely be back. My only complaint is it was loud in the restaurant, but the food made up for that.

Boqueria is definitely one of the more authentic Spanish cuisine places in NYV. Their plates are very savory and menu mostly lends itself to sharing tapas and different selections of sangria. I highly recommend ordering their carne à la parilla, it’s so delicious you’ll not want to share your tapas. And the paella isn’t their best thing on the menu but it does have good flavor, just not my favorite because their tapas quality and flavor outshine the paella. Other than that the service was exceptional especially with addressing an issue with food temperature. Our paella was brought out a bit on the colder side and they addressed the situation with urgency, kindness and compassion.

2nd Boqueria I visited in the city. I used to go to SOHO when I craving tapas. The parades still a little bit over cooked but I still love it & the Octopus a little bit missed tenderness. Other than that Shishito peppers always my favorite. I never can figure how they can be green and cooked at the same time.

We had a company end of the year dinner here. The food, service, lively atmosphere was great and festive. The only complaint was that I was sitting at the middle long table and people kept brushing and bumping against me all night as they were going by. The fixed course of tapas were all great and I enjoyed the experience here

Great food and drink. I had their pan de tomate and it was really flavorful, a bit too salty but good enough where I would come back and enjoy it again. The pepper ads a nice tang. I also had their shishto cocktail which was nice.<br><br>Everything is priced amazingly we for what you get in my opinion

Place was packed and the food is amazing. Left stuffed but I do think there were some items that are kinda meh.<br><br>Crispy potato - absolutely must get.<br>Meatballs - 15/10 soft tender and juicy with a nice sauce.<br>Chorizo beef toast - nice bite but messy and a handful.<br>Garlic olive oil shrimp - lacked seasoning and it was just a pool of olive oil.<br>Croqueted - small crispy bite. All I tasted was the deep fried batter and the cheese inside. Kinda mid tbh<br>Octopus - charred but no seasoning. It was also a small tentacle for $20+ scam, and not worth.<br><br>Overall still enjoyed the meal and would recommend.

The food was delicious although everything took way longer than anticipated and portions of tapas were quite small. It does mean it was fresh but just don’t come here when in a rush because the paella took 45 mins and the churros 15/20 from the time we ordered.<br><br>The service was very attentive, however the place was really loud, and towards the end of our service the restaurant wasn’t packed anymore but still loud.

Boqueria never disappoints. It’s the kind of place is consistent in food and service. Tonight was no exception. We were served by the wonderful Wendy who recognized us from a previous visit and made us feel welcome. Usually we opt for an assortment of our favorite tapas, however since it was our anniversary and we were feeling adventurous we went for the Chef’s Menu. The food was delicious and it was a nice departure from our usual menu. Highly recommend the Patatas Bravas, the Gambas al Ajillo, Brussels sprouts and the seafood paella. Sangria is always good but the cocktails can be better. Highly recommend visiting.

The food was pretty good, for me it was a hit or miss. The environment was pretty loud, but it’s probably because of the small space. Would definitely recommend Croquetas De Setas, Gambas Al Ajilli, and Forget-Me-Not (Drink). The Dátiles Con Beicon is pretty good, if you like blue cheese. Personally I don’t like the after taste. Overall, pretty good and definitely worth a try and make reservations, it gets busy!
