Boqueria Flatiron

Patatas Bravas

Crispy fried potatoes with a smoky, slightly spicy brava sauce and aioli — the execution is consistent and the balance between crunch and sauce is right

Pan con Tomate

Grilled bread rubbed with ripe tomato and finished with good olive oil — simple, but a reliable litmus test and Boqueria's is well-sourced

Croquetas Cremosas

Creamy bechamel croquettes with crispy shell

Gambas al Ajillo

Shrimp in a garlicky, chile-spiked olive oil that you'll want to mop up with bread — arrives hot and aromatic

Jamon Iberico

Hand-carved acorn-fed Iberico ham aged 30 months, served with olives and pan con tomate

Croquetas

Crisp-fried ham croquettes with a creamy béchamel center — a tapas bar staple done reliably here

Jamón Ibérico

Thinly sliced cured Ibérico ham, the quality of the sourcing carries the plate — best ordered alongside pan con tomate

Pulpo a la Gallega

Galician-style octopus with paprika and olive oil

Seafood Paella

Traditional Spanish paella with mixed seafood, saffron rice

Sangria Pitcher

House red or white sangria built for groups — fruity, not too sweet, and comes in a pitcher that keeps the table happy through multiple rounds

Tortilla Española

Traditional Spanish potato and egg omelette — solid, if not revelatory; a good vegetarian anchor for a shared spread

Nutella Churros

Warm churros served with Nutella dipping sauce

Paella

Crowd-pleasing but cautious — the rice lacks the socarrat depth you'd want, and the protein-to-rice ratio skews safe; fine for sharing but not a reason to come

Tortilla Espanola

Classic Spanish potato and egg omelette

Tuna Tartare

Blistered Shishito Peppers
