Boqueria Dupont

A group os us (all family members) came in on a busy Saturday night for small plates, lots of fun drinks, and plenty of chit chat. The staff was great! Very attentive and friendly. The plates we ordered would be made and come out in relatively quick time and were all piping hot and fresh too. We enjoyed their menu, they have all the items you’d expect from a Spanish tapas place. We tried many items, some standouts were: • the Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, along with the Aged Manchego • their Gambas al ajillo had a great sauce, though I do wish the dish was spicier • Montado de Bistec y Chorizo was really tasty! • Their Mariscos Paella was spot on! The texture of the rice was exactly what it should be (and what I crave when desiring paella) and all the seafood in it was fresh and very nic

There’s a vibe here for SURE! We came on a Tuesday night (before the government shutdown of 2025) and it was PACKED! The music was awesome & the service was excellent! The food was hood to us but I can see some people maybe not liking some of it because it’s not your usual serving sizes. It’s Tapas, which is like appetizer size and most of them were great. Here’s the breakdown: - Pan con tomate - A no-go. It literally tastes like wet bread with tomato 👎 - Ensalada Cesar - Good but a bit dry (large portion) - Croquetas Jamon - Okay but a very small piece of ham inside & not what we expected, at all. The puree lost us - Choripan - Very good tastes like the real Choripans - Calamares - Great & tasty - Coca de Costillas - Very good & tasty flatbread Overall, there’s a lot of ham in the menu so

We got 6 things for 2 people and we’re stuffed, the Brussels sprouts and the shrimps were our favorite. The carrots and croquettes were also very good (were sweet tooth’s). The Mac and cheese wasn’t the best but still decent, and for dinner we had tea the olive oil cake which was so good!

We came in for brunch and had a great experience. Our server was informative and attentive. We enjoyed the brunch feast, it was fun sampling many different plates. Everything was delicious. For 30$ each we left with leftovers and were stuffed. I’d love to come back again and try the regular chefs tasting too.

The atmosphere was modern, and the outdoor seating filled up quickly. The happy hour (4–6 PM) offered a great selection, and overall, the food was delicious. However, the paella we had today was a bit disappointing, as the bottom was burnt and some of the rice was undercooked. It would also be nice if there were more mocktail options available for those who don’t drink alcohol.
