    We are Tapas fans and decided to check out Boqueria. Service: Great. Our server was very nice, helpful, and attentive. If I had to point out a negative about the service, it would be the servers (not our main server) who brought out the tapas once they were prepared. They would just drop off the plate and give the name, but would not explain what the dish was. Atmosphere: Great. Nice place for a date or happy hour with co-workers. Food: Average. We ordered the Boqueria experience. The experience was $65 person and in my opinion was not worth it. We received 8-9 tapas with all the plates with the exception of 1-2 being average. The stars were the potatoes and artichokes. Otherwise the 6-7 other tapas were average. Drink: The apple cider sangria was delicious Overall it was a good experience, but not sure if I’ll make this a priority when I want Tapas again.

    The food is delicious, but need to better with their meat and cheese board. The pieces of cheese that were served were paper thin and tiny, as well as the Jamon Serrano.

    Hi Adrienne, We appreciate your feedback about the delicious food. However, we sincerely apologize for the experience you had with the meat and cheese board. The quality of the cheese and Jamon Serrano should meet higher standards, and your comments will help us improve. Danielle Miranda, General Manager

    Took advantage of their amazing happy hour menus for an impromptu girls night! The drinks were amazing, especially. The white wine sangria and the food was delicious. We loved the Patatas Bravas so much, it was a table favorite. The dip for the Patatinas is amazing, I’ll be thinking about it for a good bit. Everything we tried was yummy! We had great service, I have already recommended this place to several friends!
