Amazing! I came here for the bottomless brunch Saturday with 9 of my friends and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Great food, amazing service (shout out to Amy our server!), good drinks, and a cool atmosphere! The managers were also great in answering questions and helping when I made my reservation! Not to mention the churros with a sparkler that they brought out for my birthday at the end of our meal! Definitely will be going back!
Outstanding happy hour menu and prices. The dishes are exquisite. Do not pass on the croquetas - divine with the quince dipping sauce. Kudos to Kenny our server, who was knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. Get here early because it fills fast. We arrived at 4:30 and the by 5 the bar area was filled. We had the daily sangria special (grapefruit-based) and a white wine sangria. Both well constructed. We were in DC for a conference and we're in the mood for tapas - were not disappointed! Would love to come back and sit in the outdoor seating. Well done Boqueria!
We had a lovely late lunch, reminiscent of our trip to Spain a couple of years ago. The food was excellent, our waiter (DiAngelo) was warm and knowledgeable. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. We were left to chat and enjoy ourselves. I recommend the sautéed setas, seafood paella, and the Blanco Sangria.
Great place to enjoy good food with great company, chorizos al vino were my favorite, pan con tomate simple but fantastic, worth the try
I love the tapas style at this restaurant - the eggplant and lambskewers are to die for! And dessert - Turron - - almond cake with ice cream is the icing on top! They also have great sangrias!

Fantastic experience and food was delicious. Sat outside on patio for happy hour! They graciously provided my table with a free tapas to try which was a nice gesture!
The best of the best. Highly recommend it
Great place! We love sitting at the bar. There’s a warm atmosphere at this place. We always get great customer service and we love the wine selection!
Great dining experience! I was visiting DC and had dinner there 2 nights. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was outstanding. A must go to restaurant in DC!!!!
Delicious evening in Boqueria. Started with the Summer Gin & Tonic which was perfect for an outdoor patio drink. Ordered the ensalada vasca, the escalivada and the tortilla española (pictures below!). Then we ordered a small paella de mariscos which was IMPECCABLE! Perfect to share some tapas and the small paella if you're hungry. We finished the evening with flan 🍮 and it was perfect. The food is extremely well made and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Service was wonderful, the waitress helped us fix our table before we started ordering. Great location, definitely worth it!!!
I would definitely go back here again and try more dishes. They have good seafood here without a doubt. The drinks were also really good. Came here for brunch and there weren’t many people so I bet it’s crowded in the evening.

Second time at Boqueria and this time was for a work dinner with colleagues. Here are my thoughts!
Environment
This was my first time eating in the restaurant (last time we sat outside) and it was really nice. Looks like they have plenty of seating for dinner and a bar area as well. Really great atmosphere and casual eats and for a date night.
Service
The server was amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and did a great job of managing our big group. She was receptive and friendly and attentive to our table. Really enjoyed her.
Food
We all got 'The Classics" option on the chef menu which gives you a few of the favorites off the full tapas menu. It was a really nice option with something for everybody. It was easy and delicious and the food just kept coming out! There was enough food for everyone and very filling and tasty. I really enjoyed the potatoes, the croquettes, and the meatballs. the drinks were good and strong. The churros were amazing!
Overall
Lovely place and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food and the drinks. I will definitely return to try more things on the menu and add this to the list of great spots for dinner and drinks.
Excellent tapas lunch. We sat at bar height tables. Service was a little slow getting to us but picked up once we ordered. We were served by a friendly waiter. Everything was beautifully presented, perfect temperature, and deliciously flavorful. Meatballs were tender. Garlic shrimp was great. Lots of bread to mop up the sauces. Mushroom croquettes were crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. Tender lamb skewers on warm toast were delicious. Corn was good but not amazing. We also ordered a non alcoholic cocktail which was refreshing and tasty. Finally a short coffee and churro ended the meal perfectly. A bit pricey but those are the prices in DC. There’s also a lovely full service outdoor patio.
This place was so fun! We were looking for a nice dinner to have on our one night in DC and this place was amazing! The food was very authentically Spanish, the service was so friendly, and it was just an overall great experience! We did the tasting menu and it was so fun to not know what was coming but to get to have a taste of a bunch of different things!
The service was fantastic, quick to resolve any issues and the meal arrived fairly quickly. Atmosphere was a bit cold.
Be mindful to check what dishes come cold/warm before ordering.
Reasonably affordable if you go with the tapas lunch.
Really nice looking, welcoming restaurant with a nice lunch atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Our food was spot on. Very steep steps up into the restaurant, so check with them to see if there is another entrance if you have a stroller or someone who is less able.
Had dinner, The Classic, here on Juneteenth. EVERYTHING was excellent! Perfectly balanced margarita, knock your socks off pineapple sangria, and the lightest summertime red vermouth with soda an orange.
Hats off to the chef, bartenders Cat and Vas.
Boqueria Dupoint is unequivocally one of the best Spanish restaurants in DC. Add this restaurant to your “must frequently visit” list.
The food was excellent. The croquetas de jamon were the best I’ve ever had, and the ensalada de alcachofa was a fresh and zesty surprise. We had the Boqueria Experience and it was well worth the price for the amount of dished we tried.
Very noisy, but quite good food. Not really Spanish, though. I saw some paellas and they looked good, but some tapas were different to what we have in Spain.
The food was great. We ordered 6 dishes and everything was good. The chicken was a little dry but the flavor was good. The shrimp had SO much garlic in it - it was incredible. So delicious.
We wanted to look at the dessert menu but our waiter never came back. We flagged down another waiter and he was lovely. We decided to just ask for our check instead.
Really delicious brunch! Tried the croquetas, an egg dish in tomato sauce, and octopus. Everything was hot and fresh. Service was excellent, and drinks were very tasty! I need to go back to try the paella. Decent prices too
The bruch at Boqueria is a great experience. The ambiance is beautiful, it's a great spot for larger groups/parties. Amazing food and service. The staff was extremely friendly. Brunch offers a decent selection of foods not many just breakfast options. The bottomless mimosas A++. Definitely try the sangria it did not disappoint.
We went for our anniversary. We weren’t disappointed. The staff was expert, helpful, friendly, and efficient. The food was very good. We had a memorable meal. My wife ordered from the brunch menu (it was Sunday afternoon), I ordered from the dinner menu. She got a charcuterie selection for appetizer, I got pulpo grilled accompaniment by papas bravas, and a selection of Spanish cheeses. She got a main course of eggs with truffle oil, Iberian ham, and potatoes. I got charcoal grilled sardines over an eggplant base. Everything was very good. The pulpo was delectable- as good as any I’ve had. The staff treated us like royalty. We’ll be back.
Cute spot for Spanish tapas. A good variety of options on the menu and good service
Food was just ok nothing special, but the ambience and service were great. We had several dishes including paella, croquetas, patatas, gambas al ajillo, albóndigas and bacon con dátiles. The texture of the rice in paella was al-dente which I liked.
The food was great, though definitely pricey. A friend and I shared a pitcher of rosé sangria and that was very tasty. Good for a special occasion
Started out slow with the service but once our server warmed up, her recommendation were amazing. The potatoes were ok but the broccoli, lamb skewers and octopus were amazing. We ordered 2 more tapas of the lamb and bottomless sangrias. If you like sweet than go for the the white or rose'. The red is solid if you enjoy something more dry. Check out the pics below
