“The Boqueria Burger ($20) is this vibrant Spanish tapas bar and restaurant’s take on a juicy burger, brand new to the lunch menu this spring. It’s made from dry-aged rib steak and brisket, topped with red wine onions, Valdeón cheese and served on a brioche bun coated with allioli, alongside piparras, french fries and mixed greens.”
“A sleek Spanish tapas spot on the edge of Dupont Circle, Boqueria distinguishes itself from other weekend bottomless brunches in the District by way of offering bottomless food and drinks built for sharing.
“The scent of garlic and lemon, for instance, leads us to a plate of sauteed shrimp, and who can resist silvery anchovies, freckled with orange zest, when they ride through the dining room with a thatch of housemade potato chips?
“At the time we met, he [Kieran Chavez, the beverage director at the Spanish tapas mini-chain, Boqueria] was making two drinks with the stuff: a lime leaf collins—like limeade, only more interesting—and a carrot-juice-based concoction with Seedlip, saffron, and banknotes of India pepper.
“I grew up eating [churros],” says Marc Vidal, executive chef of Boqueria, a Spanish tapas bar with locations in New York and Washington, D.C. “The flavor profile makes them the perfect sweet to get creative with, so we love to incorporate different seasonal fruits, ice cream and more to mix things up.

“The freshly minted Boqueria has an advantage over its sibling in the form of a rotisserie, which turns out to be the source of one of the restaurant’s most enticing dishes: roasted organic chicken.
“The hand-sliced Ibérico ham at the entrance and the rotisserie are of particular note —the rotisserie will churn out slow roasted pork shank, braised baby back ribs, whole chicken and other specials. Keep your eyes peeled later on this month when the eatery launches its happy hour, lunch, and brunch.”
“Beloved Spanish tapas bar and restaurant brings signature convivial spirit to the neighborhood with new menus, expanded central bar area, lively open kitchen and chef’s counter seating.”
“The Penn Quarter restaurant has an open kitchen and a 12-seat chef’s table, a rotisserie for its spit-roasted suckling pigs, a 30-seat marble bar, sidewalk seating, and an all-Spanish wine list.”
