The food was excellent – really tasty and well-prepared. However, we were seated right by the area where staff use their radio to communicate with the kitchen, and the constant loud crackle of the walkie-talkie confirming orders made it feel more like a police station than a restaurant. The space was noisy, cramped, and chaotic, and I actually left feeling more stressed than when I arrived.

Very small and dirty restaurant - tissues and food on the floor, extremely dirty with no lock at the WC. Food is also not fantasti - very ordinary.

the best part about the restaurant is the wait staff, they were all nice, friendly and did a good job. We got a coupon for 50% off and at that price it was ok, but we wouldn't come back to pay full price. we couldn't see the kitchen, but it seems like the space is so small that they wouldn't be able to have a proper kitchen. I have a felling the food is all pre-packaged and they heat it up/fry before serving, the paella probably comes frozen in a bag. Our Galician beef steak tartar was gray, not red or pink, it was obviously not freshly made.

Food was the highlight — fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We enjoyed tuna tartar, a prawn dish, a beef tartar sandwich, and octopus with vegetables, all nicely presented. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. However, the rest of the experience fell short. Wine selection was minimal; the server explained it’s a new restaurant. The décor and facilities need attention — no bathroom handle, a broken flush, and an overall look that felt more like a storage space than a dining venue. The room felt cramped, leaving little sense of comfort or romance. I truly wish them the best, because the quality of their food deserves a better setting, and I hope one day they’ll deliver a space that matches their kitchen’s talent.

Fantastic experience at Boca Brava in Madrid! My partner Lucilla and I were thrilled with our dinner. We tried a delicious paella and a portion of scampi, paired with an excellent sangria. Everything was exceptional, from the quality of the food to the impeccable service. The value for money is truly unbeatable. Absolutely recommended!
