Boqueria W40th St

“Food was phenomenal. I absolutely loved the vegetarian paella and the appetizers we got. Nathan was our waiter for the night we went and he was fantastic as well!”

“Really good food, the service is great from when you come in. All happy smiles and warm welcomes specially from Tiffany and the server Brian. The drinks were really good and they get the day going! There was a family celebrating their birthday infront of me and the server sang for them so that was really nice to see. Whenever I needed something the server was very attentive. I would recommend this restaurant if you’re willing to have a nice time (the drinks are really good)”

“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.”

“Classic staple tapas and small plates. Nice, beautiful restaurant with great quality bites. If able to go for happy hour- they have quite a deal. Went with a friend to enjoy both drinks and bites. Enjoyed small bites of croquettes, Brussel sprouts, meatballs, and more. Overall really a staple and service was great/quick. Defs recommend”

“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 cooked beautifully, with a superb texture that struck that delicate balance between tender and structured. It was hearty and deeply satisfying. For my personal taste it leaned slightly salty, but the overall execution and flavor profile still made it a standout dish. Among the tapas, the croquetas were easily the highlight of the meal. Crisp on the outside and wonderfully creamy within, they delivered that perfect contrast of texture that makes this classic tapa so beloved. Each bite was rich, comforting, and incredibly flavorful—without a doubt my favorite small plate of the afternoon.”
