Boqueria Soho

Stopped by here spontaneously after watching a documentary at the film forum. With no reservations and a busy looking dining room they were able to sit us at a comfortable table. The service throughout the dinner was great and the good delicious. We were there for happy hour so don't of the dishes were half off. We had the patatas bravas, zanahorias (these carrots have so much flavor this was one of the best tapas plates), croquetas de setas (3 pieces), gambas al ajillo(3 pieces of toast points, good flavor but would suggest to request more bread to use for the sauce), escalivada with anchovies, pallea de costilla (comes with the bone and a good amount of marrow)and of course red sangria. This was enough for the 4 of us to share, we left happy and full.

Stop by before the snow blizzard, great service and delicious food. My favorite is Gambas Al Ajillo. Do not miss the 48 months Jamon Iberico ham, so yummy🤤

I love Spanish cuisine and came here by myself. Jeffery was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered an Amaretto Sour, gambas, and croquettes — everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended if you’re in SoHo!

We sat at the bar by the kitchen and had an unpleasant experience looking at all the trash that was on the floors where they cook the food. The pictures are from after it was “cleaned”. Prior to this, the trash was overflowing. If the kitchen is going to be this way, I would think they would cancel the seats where customers see this while they eat and wait for food…or have a cleaner set up for and open kitchen…I have sat at restaurants with open kitchen concepts in the past and this is the first time where not only did I want to cancel the food from seeing all the trash in the kitchen but also the first time I don’t want to go back and eat somewhere.

We didn't like the seafood paella. It was on a salty side, the clams and the mussels were not seasoned either. The atmosphere was pretty loud, was difficult to talk across the table. Our waiter was fine. No issues there.
