   This was my first time at Boqueria. Overall, I enjoyed it very much. It was lunch on a Friday, very slow day there. Hostess was extremely accommodating as I kept having her show me different tables to escape the too loud music. Cute atmosphere and great lighting. Menu is quite varied with a lot of great choices. We had the manchego cheese and serrano ham, bacon wrapped dates (just OK), meatballs, croquetas de jamon, tortilla española, and lamb skewers. Everything was very tasty. My complaint, I guess, is with tapas restaurants in general -- portions are SO tiny and the prices are $$$. You get the smallest bite per person and that's it. Like, barely a taste. I know these are shareables but it is tough to justify the prices. It's getting harder and harder to dine out these days.

   Easy walk up to tell them reservation details and was taken care of immediately. Service was outstanding for my girlfriend and I’s first date. Beautiful place with fun shareable dishes

   We had to sit in the outside area bc we added one more guest to our party of 2. But that made service hard and dinner took much longer than anticipated.

   Cute place. Really loud b/c of St Patrick’s Day groups. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Food was good- but I’ve definitely had better tapas.
