Boqueria W40th

The experience from start to finish felt thoughtfully curated, the kind that reminds you how powerful great hospitality and well-executed food can be. From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone. Karla (with a “K” 😊) took exceptional care of us throughout the meal, attentive without ever being intrusive. She had a warm, natural way of making us feel welcomed and comfortable. Manager Tiffany also stopped by and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. That level of attentiveness elevates a meal from simply good to genuinely memorable. The atmosphere itself deserves recognition. Even during the lunch hour, the space maintained a calming, relaxed energy. We ordered the paella, and although it required a bit of patience, it was absolutely worth the wait. The rice was co

I have been to the Boston location a few times, and decided to try my luck in NYC. I was not disappointed. Service was a little slow, but the food and ambiance were just perfect. We ordered albondigas ($17.5) croquetas ($9)and gambas al ajillo ($19.5) all delicious and authentically Spanish. Two bottles of wine later ($60 each) and a great lunch was had. Food is authentic and delicious. I can’t wait to go back.

We dropped by this spot for Saturday brunch, and it didn’t disappoint. Located in Midtown Manhattan, it was surprisingly not too crowded for a weekend, which made the experience more relaxed. We ordered the Boqueria BEC and Dos Huevos Y Más, and paired them with churros. The food was good overall — the side potatoes were especially tasty, and the salsa verde dip was perfect with the bread. The ambience is spacious and clean, and the staff did well — we had a small issue with part of our order initially, but they were quick to respond and fix it, which we appreciated. Overall, a very solid brunch spot in Midtown with good service and a pleasant atmosphere. We’d definitely consider coming back.

It's perfectly decent Spanish Tapas. Nice decor, good service. The food is alright, nothing that will blow your mind but it's good. The Brussels sprouts is nicely caramelized and mildly charred, which is proper. The octopus was ok, it was tender but would have been better if the "skin" was crispy. Overall, would I eat there? Sure, if it's convenient, but wouldn't go out of my way to go specifically for it.

Chic Ambiance and Must-Try Tapas! ​We visited Boqueria W40th for a slightly delayed weekend brunch and were seated immediately, which was a nice start. The atmosphere here is truly a highlight—very chic, vibrant, and thoroughly enjoyable. It sets a fantastic scene for a New York brunch or tapas experience. ​Our server was excellent: polite, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through the tapas-style offerings. ​For starters, we were highly impressed with the tapas. The Kale Salad was very nice and refreshing; while it lacked a bit of crunch, the delicious cheese component more than made up for it. The absolute star of the meal, however, was the Mushroom Croquets. With its perfectly crunchy exterior and the wonderfully cheesy, truffle aioli filling, it was a thoro
