What People Are Saying About Boqueria

Boqueria

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…

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.

Best Tapas Ever!!
by candjmom
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.

Great food and great atmosphere at Boqueria!
by KK2009
Love, love, LOVE Boqueria!! I was shocked too see negative reviews as this place is excellent. I have been to Spain many times and Boqueria made me feel like I was there again. The tapas were tasty and the flan was delicious! I plan on eating here again and again. Definitly try the brunch too!!

Great place - highly recommend it
by twwatson
Frankly, wasn't sure what to expect when we ventured to Boqueria for the first time but glad we tried it! A great overall experience. Crowded but fun/vibrant atmosphere and service was friendly and helpful. Loved the food and wine selection. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying the other Boqueria location at some point. Definitely give it a shot.
- Pros: Atmosphere, service, menu/wine selection and friendly and knowledgable staff
The Details on Boqueria
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.
