What People Are Saying About Boqueria
The Owner
Boqueria
Owner
Boqueria can cater your next event! Boqueria Soho offers the same regional Spanish cuisine as its sister property in Chelsea. Reminiscent of the bars and "cervezerias" of Barcelona and the Boqueria market, Boqueria Soho will be open daily from 8 a.m. to midnight, offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, as well as Spanish products, cured meats and cheeses to enjoy in-house or to take-out. The open kitchen, surrounded by a 12-seat chef's counter available for walk-ins only, is the focal point of Boqueria Soho's 70-seat dining room. The kitchen counter features a glass-enclosed case for…

The original 19th Street Boqueria was a perfect storm of scene, space, and food; the question about this larger Soho space was whether it would capture the same magic. Judging by the crowds, it does. As at the original, a long bar fills up quickly with both locals and tourists drinking the restaurant's famous sangria and gobbling up small plates of ham, olives, and and other elemental Spanish flavors. Farther along, the restaurant expands into a long corridor of blonde wood and communal tables, culminating in a bustling open kitchen where chef Seamus Mullen's more complex composed dishes are…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Some of the best hams and cured meats are off the menu; ask for them in a hushed tone.
- Parking:
- Parking in Soho is hopeless. Take the subway.
- The Extras:
- The tapas are justly famous, but Mullen's composed dishes are the way to go. Don't fill up on small plates.

Que Paso! What happened to this place???!
by BigEaterV at Citysearch
I have a terrific memory of eating great food here about a year ago. Went back last night for a complete disaster. Terrible, ordinary, generic food, obnoxious service and lousy, watered down drinks. Literally ordered a hot chocolate, received a 1/2 cup of steamed milk. Then had an argument with the waiter about it.
This is sad when bad things happen to fine places, but AVOID, life is too short and there are plenty of better places to spend a night out.

Went here last night and dined at the bar. The food was great, the waiters recommendations were all excellent. We ordered the perfect amount of food. The serano was so good it melted in your mouth. The peppers were great as well. I will defintely be back
- Pros: Great sangria

one of the best Spanish/Tapas in NYC
by CityGirlL1 at Citysearch
Boqueria is definitely among the top Spanish restaurants I have been to in NYC. The cheese, wine, sangria....perfect! I don't eat meat but I hear its not to be missed. Spring Street makes it a great location as well. Go early so you dont have to wait!
- Pros: sangria, tapas, soho location

Go somewhere else

we met friends for drinks. I had been to Boqueria before for sangria and tapas. We ordered a a few combination platters (ham,bread,cheese, nuts). we decided to stay for dinner and ordered the seafood (lobster) paella w/ mushrooms. The paella was overcooked, dry, with one piece of lobster ($38). This place is just location, and not really a good tapas restaurant. Nothing special about it.
- Pros: location
- Cons: overpriced food

Best Tapas Ever!!
by candjmom at Citysearch
Just celebrated my birthday at Boqueria and had the best night ever. The food was delicious, the wait staff was accomodating and the vibe was very Soho. I really wanted Spanish food for my special night and wasn't sure what to expect from this place, but it didn't disappoint, now I have my favorite tapas spot. Try the Carne Asada, it was excellent.
