Boqueria W40th

I would skip the lamb skewer thing-- it was tasty but sinewy ( I had to spit a piece out) which was also the only thing we got that wasn't on the happy hour menu-- the happy hour is great though, come early to Broadway and see if you can score some rush tix-- then chill here on some tapas until the show-- we scored Kimberly Akimbo 12th row center for $40

This is the BEST of all Boqueria locations I’ve dined at here in NYC. Had the pleasure of enjoying an early afternoon birthday lunch with my daughter, back in November. She works nearby + knew the service & food was exceptional on her previous visits. The restaurant’s interior is beautiful. A very pretty bar & dining booths that add to the comfort of the experience. Lunch was delicious and the Manager Giovanni was gracious & attentive. Sorry I cannot recall our server’s name - his service was A+ I will definitely return often with friends & family.

Really nice ambience I was surprised to how beautiful of a restaurant this one was I’ve never been to Bulgaria before, but I’ve of course seen it in the city. The food was surprisingly good. I’m not a huge fan of Spanish tapas, but I surprisingly liked it. The meatballs were pretty good but a smaller portion. The steak was good but also a bit smaller portion. So for the prices the portions were bit.

The menu at Boqueria was filled with a variety of mouthwatering options, and I couldn't resist starting with an order of their shishito peppers with coarse sea salt. The peppers had just the right amount of char and paired perfectly with the salt for a burst of flavor. Next, I tried the gambas al ajillo, which was an absolute standout. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and bathed in a garlic-infused oil that left me wanting more. Moving onto the baby squid with white beans, artichokes, and squid ink, I was pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavors. The squid was tender, and the artichokes added a lovely texture to each bite. One dish that I simply couldn't get enough of was the dates stuffed with almonds and valdeón blue cheese, wrapped in bacon. The sweet and savory combination was fantastic, and the bacon added a nice crispy element. As if that wasn't enough, I also indulged in their churros dusted with cinnamon sugar and filled with Nutella. Each bite was a heavenly explosion of warm, chocolatey goodness. And to top it all off, I savored the Turrón - an almond and hazelnut cake served with honey dulce de leche ice cream and chantilly. The decadent combination of sweetness was out of this world, and I couldn't help but savor every last bite. Overall, my dining experience at Boqueria was incredible. The relaxed ambiance, attentive service, and delectable dishes made it a truly memorable meal. I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing dishes!

I wish I could give this place 10 stars per category. The manager Joe was such a gentleman that I wanted to steal him. I have been to so many Tapas restaurants. However, this one is an absolute MUST GO! The server was incredibly informative about the menu. The runners were polite and fast AF LOL. The food was an invitation to flavors combinations I never tried before , from Bacon wrapped Dates to The Crouqutes and friekn meatballs, and they could chock a horse. GO THERE !!!!!

What a great place to take a break from the hustle of Manhattan and enjoy some amazing food. The atmosphere is great. It feels pulled away from the street in its own space. Despite being a nicer restaurant, I thought the prices were very reasonable. The bistec con huevos was great, and I loved sharing tapas before that. Add an espresso Martini and it was a perfect part of my day!

We picked boqueria W40th as a place to try and thread a needle of a place with good food, quick service, and near enough to catch our Broadway show. We were warmly greeted and quickly sat down. We arrived right at 5 and we wanted to be out by 630 to catch our show at 7. Happy hour was ONLY at the bar which was kind of frustrating because from my booth k could reach out and touch a bar stool and I paid way more for the same food. Food came out super fast which is good Cuz we had some trouble getting our server to our table a few times. Overall we feel we nailed our plan of good quick food for a reasonable price and we made our play with time to spare.
