Bandeja paisa, elite Colombian meal. Usually when I come here, I am greeted with a smile and friendliness. They do a variety of Latin American dishes very well.

This charming little restaurant had been closed for renovations, and while I'm not exactly sure when they reopened, the updated space looks wonderful and cozy. The service is humble and friendly, but please be patient - the server is also the cook, and the whole staff pitches in to keep things running smoothly. Since it's a smaller establishment, if you need anything, it's best to walk up to the front and ask for assistance. I ordered two chicken tacos and two spicy beef tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying!

However, it was so worth it when we at down to eat. Got the potato ball, tostonas, beef stew, beans, and white rice.

Wish I did get a to go order to eat at home. Give it a try!

(Disclaimer I'm writing this review based on their food truck )…read more Today I went to their food truck and ordered a 2-parcha/ passion fruit drink, plantain with meat, and some type of sandwich. This should have at least taken 20 minutes tops for a food truck but it took 2 hours including the drink. Overall, the food was good. The sandwich was really good but the plantain felt thrown together and way too oily, and at that point, I just threw it away. Wish they did better because I was excited for the food but I feel like it wasn't worth the wait.

It doesn't seem like you should be able to execute paella this good in a Food Hall where people are expecting quick turnaround on their meals, but I thought my Valencia Paella was very good. Per the menu, it had shrimp, clams, octopus, squid, peas and seasoned rice. The clams and different sizes of shrimp were most visible. I especially loved all the baby sized shrimp. The seafood had good texture and everything was well seasoned. People who are hardcore paella purists may say, "yeah, but it didn't have the crispy rice parts that meet the pan (the socarrat)." I wouldn't expect that out of a Food Hall paella place, but if that's what you're looking for, you may need to find a nice sit down Spanish or Portuguese restaurant and wait a while for that to be cooked. 4.5 Stars.

We shared the seafood paella; they make it to order so i was able to ask for no octopus and mussels, and have more shrimp and fish. It was outstanding and so were our cocktails. This is a new favorite restaurant for me. A note of warning: this is an expensive restaurant... the bill for 2 of us was $200, but that is with four $15 cocktails. My apologies... i was too distracted to remember to take photos, but I do plan to return and will do better next time.

Boqueria in West Hartford is an absolute gem. My wife and I came in ready to explore tapas, and…read moreevery single dish we tried was seriously delicious. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced, but the standout for me was the steak and the chorizo toast, both were incredible and honestly worth the visit all on their own. What really made the experience next-level, though, was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel taken care of from start to finish. Even when there was a slight delay, the manager stepped in immediately and made sure everything stayed smooth, professional, and high-quality. That kind of leadership and care makes a huge difference. Boqueria isn't just a "special occasion" place, it's the kind of restaurant you come back to because you want to try something new, share great food, and leave happy. We'll absolutely be returning, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing tapas experience in West Hartford.

I didn't know what to order for the entree and the waiter recommended the Seco De Tría and Lomo Saltado. One was a short rib and the other was a beef stir fry. Both were very delicious!

I also loved the roasted corn they serve at the table. It is such a great touch. The dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it that added extra flavor without being overwhelming. The space itself is beautifully decorated, creating a really inviting atmosphere, and they even have a drive through, which is super convenient. On top of it all, the service was excellent. I would definitely come back, even if it is just for a quick bite again!

I highly recommend their appetizer combination number two, which comes with papa rellena, bacalaito, y alcapurrias de yuca y de plátano. Tiré una foto de eso para que vean. Es una gran cantidad que se puede fácilmente compartir con 4 personas. The rice and beans are great, so is the churrasco, and the mofongo is moist, fresh, and delicious. What a meal! My only critique is that the music was a bit too loud, so we had to yell at each other to hear anything. Otherwise, 100% one of the best restaurants for Puerto Rican or Dominican food.

We were out for a drive on the first day of Spring and so was everyone else and they were all hungry. Dropped in here and it was empty at first and then people started to arrive. What a joy to have Dominican food. My many memories of Santo Domingo came flooding back with this version of mofongo. It was smooth and covered with sautéed roast pork. You could have the pork chop version but with my left arm in a cast due to a fractured femur this was the perfect choice. Opt for the sautéed onions as they are terrific. The 'orange juice and milk' is to die for like a batida without all the extra ice. Great service, clean room with a sophisticated dark gray theme. I will be back very SOON with no cast to impede my ordering.

If you are a vegetarian please do not skip Patatas Bravas and the spicy eggplant. I filled myself up with these.
