Boqueria Soho

Be sure to try Spanish Tapas in New York! 🍤🥘
Tapas are a tapas culture in Spain, where portions are generally small and good for ordering many small portions to share with friends. It goes 🥂✨ well with wine and/or cocktails

🤍 The atmosphere of this restaurant is very good, perfect for gatherings with friends and date drinks
🤍 There were a lot of people when we went that day, and I don’t know if we can get a place on the walk, but it’s best to reserve it in advance
🤍 It is recommended to order 2-3 dishes per person, and the two of us ordered a total of 5 dishes in the end, which was very supportive

🔥 Hidden Gem Alert: This Spanish Bodega Made Us Order 6 Tapas… For Two!

We came for vibes, stayed for the garlic shrimp that haunts our dreams—this cozy bodega is perfection for date nights or messy friend hangouts.

🍤 Gambas al Ajillo
Imagine: A cast-iron skillet hits your table, sizzling with plump shrimp drowning in garlicky gold. We sopped up every drop with bread. 10/10 would sell a kidney for this.

🐙 Pulpo a la Plancha
Crispy-edged, tender-inside octopus with a zingy spice rub. Pro tip: Order extra bread to swipe the paprika oil.

🍄 Croquetas de Setas
Crunchy outside, oozy mushroom-cheese inside. The truffle sauce? Illegally good. (We dunked fries in it—no shame.)

🥘 Paella Drama
Took 40 mins but worth it—saffron-kissed bomba rice with perfect seafood (though the rice had a bite—authentic or annoying? You decide.).

🍷 Skip These:

• Albondigas (forgettable meatballs)
• Patatas Bravas (burnt to a crisp 😭)

💡 Pro Moves:

• Sit at the bar to watch them grill the juicy Picanha steak (order it medium-rare).
• Split the 48-month Jamón Ibérico—it’s like salty, buttery silk.

Final Verdict: Come hungry, leave stuffed and slightly garlic-drunk.
