    Foods are a little bit too salty for our taste. Services are very good.

    Let’s start with the drinks. While the names were inviting, the drinks themselves were uninspired & mediocre in taste. There are some menu items that were really good e.g the white anchovies, most others were just ok. The pintxos de bistec was severely overcooked. Socarrat is non evident in the paella Mariscos.

    Thanks for making our annual Mother's Day brunch fantastic as always. We'll do our best to stop by during the year and patronize.

    Great food, quiet and relaxing. All the servers seemed brand new and a little confused but they were genuine so we didn’t care and had a great time.

    Ambiance and service were good. For a Monday night, the restaurant was busy but quiet enough for good conversation. Happy hour drinks and bites were delicious. Other tapas and wine very gd. We enjoyed being at Boqueria. Thank you.
