Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Boqueria - Dupont is a vibrant hub for tapas lovers, consistently praised for its "delicious small plates," "fast and friendly service," and "authentic Spanish dishes." Guests adore the "fabulous food and setting," particularly the Iberico ham. The outdoor seating offers a "vacation-like" atmosphere, and the upbeat ambiance makes it "a great place for celebrations." However, it can get "very loud," so opt for outdoor seating for a quieter experience. Despite occasional service hiccups, it remains a favored spot for both locals and visitors.

Had the Boqueria Experience that included the imberico jamon and paella. It was excellent! The variety of dishes we tasted was amazing - 8 different dishes. Energy was on 100 with music playing loudly and ppl engaged in lively conversation. Definitely recommend for a fun dinner night out!

Experience felt very rushed. We got the brunch feast and almost all of it came out immediately, one after another. Food came out lukewarm and the server interrupted every 10-15 minutes to ask if we needed something else. The server was ending his shift but rushing his table as a result felt unnecessary. Check us out and assign a new server. As for the 2nd server, he comes over once to introduce/ask if we needed anything, a 2nd time to ask if he can clear the table, and a 3rd to remove the water container. While we didn’t order anything and said he could clear the table, I felt it was poor service to remove the water jug as we were still there. With subpar service I will not be back here nor will I recommend the restaurant.

Been here many times. Food alternates between good and very good. Service is always great. Loud in places there but overall always fun. Not crazy expensive Bad churros. Like not good. Otherwise worth a trip

I redeemed a gift from OpenTable, but I couldn’t use it in store. And I cannot use it for other store… But the dishes are great and I really like the restaurant week dinner menu. Worth it!

We went for restaurant week and the total experience was not the best. Food was flavorless, my tortilla española was cold, never got a refill for my coke. Do not recommend.
