This restaurant is soo good. I haven't been to any other Spanish restaurants in DC, so I can't make a comparison, but I can just tell you this is so, so good. Pan con tomate and escalivada are a must!
Pitchers of sangria during happy hour (until 7PM). Yes, yes, yes. Also the pan con tomate is bomb. And churros con chocolate .
The bacon-wrapped dates here are LIFE. Perfect balance of sweet and salty with a gorgonzola-y surprise inside. Ask for a side of the bomb garlic aioli to go with the gambas al ajillo . ????
You’ll find draft beer for $4, wine for $7, a daily cocktail for $8, sangria for $5, and much more. Select snacks from a large tapas menu with dishes such as tortilla , patatas bravas , and churros . Read more
I am from Spain and the food was very authentic . Even the paella ???? was done the traditional way. Great options for after meal drinks!Service was fantastic, thanks to Milad for the personal touch.
Tasty different tapas options. Really good. But in my opinion the churro was the star if the show! Don’t miss it! Great option for drinks and date night .
The tapas are heavenly ???? Every time I come here I'm getting the garlic shrimp (+100 other tapas ) and it is always delicious ????
Omg! Probably one pf the best restaurants in DC!!Come from 3-7 for sweet happy hour deals and enjoy delicious tapas ! Patatas bravas are a must but also de nutella churros or the rice with octopus ????????
Churros con chocolate are ???????????? Have to try them! You just have to ✌????️
Amazing tapas - pictured here you have the patatas bravas which are sooooo good. ???????? #trythem
Go to place for tapas in DC. Do the classics really well , patatas bravas , garlic shrimp , and those croquettes though! Don't forget a glass (or pitcher !) of sangria . Red, white, rose , all great.
Great lamb skewers , delicious ice cream sandwich and excellent sangria . Everything was fine except for the waiter who lacked all sorts of manners
Try the fried quail 's egg and chorizo on toast , shoulder of young lamb with plums and yogurt , and braised rabbit in squid ink . Read more
Washingtonian says don't miss: Sautéed spinach with raisins ; grilled hanger steak with shishito peppers and mojo verde; kale salad with carrots and labneh ; fennel-and-grapefruit salad .
Good Sangria . Solid tortilla . For the price, the gamberas were a deal and all that yummy sauce to sop up with good, crusty bread . Nutella stuffed churros don't live up to the hype.
Great unlimited brunch and drinks on the weekends. Food is delicious as well as the drinks. The food tastes great, I can't believe it's unlimited.
You won't find a better combination of food, atmosphere and service. The gambas (shrimp ), patatas bravas & meatballs are incredible, not to mention the sangria .
You should try the meatballs and the octopus ! Everything is delicious and they have an excellent attention.
Great food. The bacon wrapped dates are fantastic. Try their bowl dishes. Especially the Barcelona Bowl with lamb meatballs .
The bocadillo on the happy hour menu , the grilled squid , and the summer squash were all fantastic. The squid was simply amazing!
The Bitches Say: Solid A. Everything was lovely. Nothing stood out as amazing, but we would never pass up such a solid bottomless brunch ! Boqueria is the recipient of the Most Reliable award in 2013.
Very good food and attention, the cream croquets , alioli awesome and very nice claritas. Brings good memories of 8 years en S-pain.
$39 for unlimited drinks and tapas during brunch for 2.5 hours. drinks are meh but fine, tapas (sort of catalan themed) are quite good. def worth it. spicy bloody marys
Great place for tapas ! The tortilla española and Penicillin cocktail are a must!
Don't go home without trying the Gambas al Ajillo . I don't care if you're on a first date with People's Sexiest Man Alive or Maxim's #1 spot, you better order that garlic shrimp dish.
Amazing tapas ! Mushrooms , empanadas , dates, shrimp , lamb stuffed peppers . Top it off with some Nutella chorizos . O.M.G.
I know it might sound as a weird tip for a great upscale Spanish place like this, but they've got like THE best baby booster seats I've seen.
Authentic spanish tapas in authentic atmosphere. My best DC tapas so far. Skip estadio and save your dignity. :)
They have nice wine selection and good views from the seats near the bar .
Loved the tapas here, every dish was great especially the shrimp and pork flatbreads although the Brussels sprout were burnt
Did the tasting menu and was not disappointed! Very accommodating to allergies/diet restrictions, and the margs are ????????
The squid ink vermicelli paella is a fantastic dish, if you're lucky enough to be there on a night they have it, its a must order item!
Drinkable red sangria and tasty tapas . The service tends to lag when it gets busy, but the food is absolutely worth it
Sangria , grilled octopus , potatas bravas , seafood paella ????????
Garlic Shrimp is heaven and the mix platters is delicious.
Everything was great, any dish you have will be fantastic! Meat and cheese special was perfect
Wine selection is not the best so better try something else to drink... Hanger steak , eggplant pita , patata brava and spinach salat are good... Churros are just OK!
Everything from tapas . But I can't tell great.
Solid Spanish tapas of all kinds. Good drink list. Just like the nyc spot
Gambas which is grilled and sauced with garlic was good????
Must have "Torrada de Escalivada " ask for the special kind that's not on the menu . And don't leave without having the "Churros con Chocolate".
The parrillada is perfect for 3 people and is a great sampler platter !
this place do remind me of Barcelona! great Sangria and tapas
Serve is excellent. You have to try Ceocuetas Cremosas.
A little expensive for tapas but delicious none the less. Will be back again. Love the atmosphere.
Mahon cheese , grilled squid with hazelnut scallions , bacon wrapped dates . With 2008 Rioja . 4 stars!
Try the croquetas and patatas bravas ! The house sangria is great as well .
Good food and good drinks. Come for a night out with your foodie friends
Great tapas , great patio for beautiful weather and don't leave without the churros .
Kale salad and lamb sandwich excellent
