    We have been coming to Boqueria for years and always order the meat and cheese platter, however, for our last last three or so visits the platter has changed. Count dow on the tomato bread, cheese pieces are thin and small, you can see through the cheese. We enjoy Boqueria, the servers and management are wonderful and pleasant, but the platter is a miss now.

    The place has nice decor and the server was great. Unfortunately the food did not match. A minute amount of cheese when ordered Manchego, Caña de Cabra. The accompanying items on the plate were just disappointing and somewhat tasteless… apart from the pan con tomate, which was laced with too much garlic. Thankfully we didn’t order anything else ahead of time, giving us chance to pay the bill from the table and walk 400 yards to Five Guys, for the evening’s main event.

    We were at a Book Club meet at MLK Library next door -and came in for early dinner this late summer afternoon. Located on a busy city street the place was energized and lively with plenty people. We were warmly welcomed, seated and attended to promptly. We ordered the eggplant paella, the potato fritters and churros w/dulce de leche dip. The paella was savory and tasteful, the potatoes sort of over crispy and the churros- though good, came with dip more chocolate than caramel. However the ambiance was happy and for us it was a good trip downtown.
