Andra ZapartanJune 1, 2017This 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!

Kaz K.February 17, 2016Pitchers of sangria during happy hour (until 7PM). Yes, yes, yes. Also the pan con tomate is bomb. And churros con chocolate.
Sofia CaseJanuary 15, 2016The 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. 🍤
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.
Bitches Who BrunchMarch 23, 2016You’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
- Andra ZapartanFebruary 22, 2019The tapas are heavenly 😍 Every time I come here I'm getting the garlic shrimp (+100 other tapas) and it is always delicious 🥰
Yasaman MahdianJanuary 10, 2019Tasty 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.
Elisa A.September 20, 2014Omg! 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 😄😍
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 12, 2018Go 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.- Andra ZapartanFebruary 22, 2019Amazing tapas - pictured here you have the patatas bravas which are sooooo good. 👍🏼 #trythem
ShaghayeghJanuary 2, 2017Great lamb skewers, delicious ice cream sandwich and excellent sangria. Everything was fine except for the waiter who lacked all sorts of manners
- Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 10, 2014The 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.
- Robb FitzsimmonsDecember 22, 2014Washingtonian 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.
Carole LoomisSeptember 5, 2015Good 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.
Samantha RapozaJanuary 25, 2015Great 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.
Caitlin RushAugust 8, 2014You won't find a better combination of food, atmosphere and service. The gambas (shrimp), patatas bravas & meatballs are incredible, not to mention the sangria.
diana🐇January 24, 2017$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
Adnan ManjalNovember 7, 2019Great food. The bacon wrapped dates are fantastic. Try their bowl dishes. Especially the Barcelona Bowl with lamb meatballs.
Mariano DuccaJanuary 4, 2017You should try the meatballs and the octopus! Everything is delicious and they have an excellent attention.
Diana BrodyJuly 8, 2016The bocadillo on the happy hour menu, the grilled squid, and the summer squash were all fantastic. The squid was simply amazing!
Desi VelazquezSeptember 8, 2018Great place for tapas! The tortilla española and Penicillin cocktail are a must!
Claus CibilsDecember 12, 2013Very good food and attention, the cream croquets, alioli awesome and very nice claritas. Brings good memories of 8 years en S-pain.
Y.Arman BarlasFebruary 16, 2017They have nice wine selection and good views from the seats near the bar.
Behrad EatsApril 20, 2012The 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!
✅ Kit OliynykAugust 10, 2014I 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.
Katie RussellSeptember 26, 2014Amazing tapas! Mushrooms, empanadas, dates, shrimp, lamb stuffed peppers. Top it off with some Nutella chorizos. O.M.G.
Sandra RubinchikSeptember 21, 2014Don'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.
Teri RushkaSeptember 3, 2014Authentic spanish tapas in authentic atmosphere. My best DC tapas so far. Skip estadio and save your dignity. :)
Liz BlakeleyAugust 7, 2014Drinkable red sangria and tasty tapas. The service tends to lag when it gets busy, but the food is absolutely worth it
Steven HassallNovember 13, 2014Loved the tapas here, every dish was great especially the shrimp and pork flatbreads although the Brussels sprout were burnt
Natalie VJuly 3, 2015Everything was great, any dish you have will be fantastic! Meat and cheese special was perfect
Duly FernándezMay 20, 2012Must 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".
Burcu DegerMarch 12, 2019Wine 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!
Liz RattraySeptember 29, 2015Did the tasting menu and was not disappointed! Very accommodating to allergies/diet restrictions, and the margs are 👌🏻
Anthony YuOctober 23, 2014Mahon cheese, grilled squid with hazelnut scallions, bacon wrapped dates. With 2008 Rioja. 4 stars!
AmateurConciergeJune 27, 2018Solid Spanish tapas of all kinds. Good drink list. Just like the nyc spot
Rachel OrrAugust 10, 2014A little expensive for tapas but delicious none the less. Will be back again. Love the atmosphere.
Rebecca M.November 23, 2012Our server (Irene) was from Barcelona and guided us expertly through the menu. Nice spot, oh and have the Cojonudo!
Robin OldhamNovember 4, 2014Nice tapas, but beware they close at 10:30pm during the week, last dinner sittings are before 9:30pm.
Morgan ThomasNovember 11, 2014Great tapas, great patio for beautiful weather and don't leave without the churros.
- Marcelo VellosoMarch 29, 2015Try the croquetas and patatas bravas! The house sangria is great as well.
anjelikaFebruary 2, 2013Great service and ambiance - and the brunch is delicious! Note though brunch only starts at 11:30am.
