Boqueria is an east coast Spanish tapas chain. The food here is quintessential Spanish shareables, including large paellas. We originally ate here with some friends in the Upper East, but we have also tried this restaurant in Flatiron. Reservations are fairly easy to secure, and it does get busy during core hours. If you have a decent sized party, this is probably a decent restaurant to bring folks that might be into family style sharing.
The food here was just like one of those casual fast food centric places. It’s on Seamless (food delivery service), so enough said.
The churrasco was $18 and was mildly satisfying. They gave you a decent amount of meat, and it was quite tender when ordered “medium rare”. It came with this mayonnaise like green sauce, that had only a mild kick to it. With this, I opted for french fries and pineapple on the side. The french fries were just OK, and the pineapple was kind of bland. The pineapple skin was on at the top, so it wasn’t as great as other places.
Seafood centric. Ambience is good, but the food is eh.
Believe it or not, their pastrami was actually better than Pastrami Queen.
Pretty good pastrami. It’s no Katz, and it’s not filling, but it was good. It’s thin sliced meats.
I only ate here because it was close to the MET. I don’t remember what I had, but I’ve only written that it was good.
