Review El Boqueron - Astoria

Frank Montesinos
We came here for a company dinner a few weeks back. Let me start off by saying that the owners and staff are absolutely great. The service is excellent, which made for a great overall experience. This is a great estsblishment and should absolutely be on your list of places to try. I honestly wanted to give it 4.5 stars as I was hoping for a tiny bit more flavor from my main dish, but I'm being picky, and the cannot give this place 4 stars, it wouldn't be fair. The food was very very good. The tapas were excellent. For an interesting drink, skip the regular red or white sangria's, and absolutely try the passion fruit sangria, it was yummy! I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes!

Love this place. The FOOD IS AMAZING. I've brought a chef here and they were impressed. The service is on the slow side but the atmospehere more than makes up for it. I've seen a wedding proposal, took my mom for her birthday, and just keep coming back. I love it here. Oh there's a 4% surcharge for using cards, the sign is there when you walk in. Cash is ideal.

Have not been at this location for over 15 years. Decided to go to dinner tonight with my husband and I was amazed with the change of management. Albert manager is very attractive. Our server Bryan was AMAZING first the inviting smile than the politeness, respect, and knowledge of the dishes was spectacular. The waiters Israel and Francisco were very attentive and wonderful. W were so happy with the ambience, food, service, music and Love. Thank you for making this night a great one!

A very pleasant place with good easy listening music and great food. We ordered 5 different tapas and they were all delicious. Note to the waiters: the less diluted the sangria, the better the tips.

I was totally surprised by the preparations and level of service. Our server was highly informed. Truly one of the best dining experiences I've had in NYC in a while. I judged the book by the cover and was WAY wrong. A new neighborhood favorite within walking distance of my apt.

I had been trying to come here for ages! It's one block from my apartment and I could not be happier with my findings. The tapas here are really delicious, the passion fruit sangria is terrific and a steal. I also love the service. People that work here have been for many years. They're all very sweet, patient, and all-around seem like good people.

Been going here for years. This is a small place with very intimate attention. The owner is always around which I always find comforting in a restaurant. The food is amazing, aside from the appetizers on the menu, they have a large number of new ones available daily. The waiters are amazing!

Stopped in for a pitcher of sangria. Sat at the bar. The atmosphere is romantic, casual and cozy. At the owner's recommendation, we tried the champagne sangria. It was incredibly delicious! However, I thought the price tag of $32 was steep. I'm looking forward to going back to try the food.

Been here a several times, food is always great everrytime, much props to the waiter Israel, knows his stuff and goes beyond to make you feel comfortable and is on point with the drinks. If you are in the mood for some good paella this is the place to go.

The food is amazingly delicious. We ordered 4 tapas and the Valencia and the vegetarian paella. Everything was fresh tasting and well presented. Great ambiance and great service. It was all good!!🤩

Very romantic, perfect for a date or anniversary, which is why my wife and I went there. The food was absolutely amazing! The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and wines. We are definitely going back!

Great service, amazing staff and amazing food. Servers are very courteous and somehow found a way to make the place feel very comfortable to be in. If you’re reading this, don’t think about it...this is the restaurant you should be at tonight

Great place for tapas. Very nice staff. Portion sizes of the tapas could be slightly larger (hence the 4 and not 5 stars) but they were very tasty!

I was visiting NY and met a friend for dinner at this restaurant. I hadn't been there in a very long time - I was in for a surprise. Wow! Great menu, the food was well prepared and the service was awesome. What a great dining experience! I highly recommend El Boquerón.

Best Spain cuisine I've been to in NY. Needs more staff! They're always running and does great job but flagging them down was not easy.

Great service. Warm and kind host, waiters and chef. I had the salmon main course and calamari appetizer. Wonderful!
