Amazing dinner at Buleria Tapas & Wine Bar. This Spanish restaurant has a causal and modern atmosphere that offers authentic and flavorful Spanish cuisine. Service was also very attentive. For cocktails, I had the white sangria and my husband had the berry mojito. Both drinks were refreshing and well balanced, too pretty to drink! For tapas, we shared empanadas (angus beef, shrimp & chorizo, organic chicken), a tale of two countries (burrata, eggplant agrodolce, serrano ham) and land & sea (NY strip & sea scallops). We loved them all, so delicious and flavorful. For our entrees, we had the churrasco (char-grilled black angus skirt steak) and pollo gitano (organic chicken thighs, sweet sausage, hot cherry peppers). Also very good and beautifully presented, the pollo gitano had a little kick to it. For dessert, we had the churros con chocolate and flan, very tasty and perfect to end our dinner. Great date spot or casual outing with friends. You won't be disappointed. I'll absolutely be back. read more

A Cozy Tapas Gem Worth the Drive Loved our experience at Buleria Tapas and Wine Bar. We started with a refreshing nojito mocktail and an Estrella Galicia Pale Ale--both great choices. We ordered a variety of tapas and everything hit: the empanadas (chicken, shrimp & sausage, beef) were crispy and flavorful, the crispy manchego was rich and indulgent, the pulpo a la sevillana was tender and well-seasoned, and the shrimp pinchitos were perfectly grilled. Finished with the flan, which was smooth, creamy, and the perfect ending. Great food, great vibe, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! read more

I went here for dinner and it was awful. The staff were nice and the ambiance was great but the food; not so much. I ordered a burger with Swiss cheese and it was some of the funkiest smelling Swiss cheese I've ever smelt. So much so I couldn't eat the burger. Even after taking the cheese off the burger the smell remained on the bacon and meat so I didn't eat it. My husband gave me his appetizer which was Bronzino bites in a cream sauce with asparagus and capers. It was decent. I won't be trying it again though. read more

My husband and I stopped in for happy hour and had a fantastic experience sitting at the bar. Compliments to both the chef and the bartender! The cocktails were beautifully presented in elegant stemware--refreshing, well-balanced, and strong. The bar itself is surprisingly large; I'd say it could comfortably seat around a dozen people. Plenty of room to enjoy happy hour, which runs from 4-7, with convenient metered street parking. The happy hour menu offers more than several appetizers. We tried the empanadas, croquettes, and chicken skewers. The chicken skewers were unbelievably tender--honestly some of the best pieces of chicken I've ever had. Whatever marinade they use is magic. They're served on wooden skewers with zucchini, onions, and peppers and were absolutely mouthwatering. The empanadas were flaky (shrimp, chorizo and beef) were packed with flavor and came with a smoky, chipotle-style aioli. The croquettes had a great texture accompanied with a creamy mayo sauce. Each appetizer was $10, and it was plenty of food for both of us, with leftovers to take home. The restaurant has a cozy, dimly lit vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxed evening out. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to come back for another round of drinks and tapas--and next time, to try the paella for dinner! read more

At this price point, we expected more - both of the service and the food. Our waiter was intermittently friendly/attentive, and very absent at times (notably, post-arrival of the food at the table). We had no opportunity to complain about certain food items being overcooked (halibut skewers were wayyyy over, as was the calamari, which was rubbery and underseasoned; the Spanish tortilla was inedible - the egg was grey and also quite rubbery). The items we enjoyed: the Iberico ham (which requires no cooking), the meatballs, and the salad. The items that were a huge disappointment (besides the ones mentioned above): the cauliflower (which was straight out of the PF Chang's battered/fried/tossed in a sweet sauce playbook), and the patatas bravas (they're home fries served with a spicy aioli and a ton of paprika, folks - nothing remotely Spanish about them). Long story short: I would not come back here. The food is overpriced, not prepared particularly well, and the service is meh. While I normally like to support a local business, this meal was so disappointing. And: when diners leave 1/2-1/3 of the food uneaten, and have no interest in boxing the leftovers, you should know that you have a problem in the kitchen. read more

Beautiful and welcoming. Crazy that this is important in 2026. Great food. Well done.

Romantic, great ambiance, easy street parking. The good: cocktails, seafood paella (for two), cauliflower, and pan con tomate. Pass on the albondigas and seared scallops. Both dishes needed more seasoning. I really wanted to try the churros, but ordered the chocolate soufflé. Meh. Pass on that one too. Easy reservations online and you can choose to sit at a regular table or high top. I would come again. The paella and cauliflower were spectacular. Paella takes 45 min, so order some tapas while you wait. Service was great. read more

One of my friends and I had been meaning to catch up for the longest time, so since we had mutual availability the other night we decided to grab some dinner. We both wanted to try somewhere new to us, and after a little search I stumbled upon Buleria. Menu and reviews looked great - so we decided to give it a shot. Located in Tuckahoe, Buleria is located on one of the main commercial strips near several other businesses. The restaurant was bigger than I expected - walking in you're immediately greeted by a bar and some tables, but then the restaurant gives way to a pretty spacious dining room. The space is modestly decorated - some alight accents and mostly medium wood tones. The floor-to-ceiling windows brought a lot of brightness into the space. Tapas are the main star of the menu, though they also have regular/standard sized dishes and a selection of paellas; they also had a decently sized specials menu. We decided to start with a drink and a charcuterie board. The drink was good - honestly forgot the name of it but it was smooth and sweet (I know that helps a lot - oops). The charcuterie board was nicely arranged - good portions of meats and cheeses as well as complements to enhance the flavors. We were in the mood for tapas, so we ordered a few: crab cakes, shrimp, filet mignon tips, Brussels sprouts, empanadas, and octopus. The portion sizes of each tapa was generous - echoing other reviews here, they were larger than other tapas spots I've been to. In terms of flavor/quality, some were better than others. The shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and filet mignon tips were delicious; the empanadas were fine, though I would like to have seen a more generous filling in them. The octopus lacked flavor, and I didn't like the crab cakes at all - something was really off with them, like they tasted bad. Service was good - the staff made sure were were taken care of and food came out at a good pace. Overall, I had a pretty food experience at Buleria, but the food was kind of hit or miss for me. I would not be opposed to returning to check out out their other menu items - including those paellas. read more

Fantastic meal. The tapas portions are bigger than any place I can remember, which was good because I wanted lots of bites of everything. The special Shrimp paella sliders were really good. I could eat many more of those. The mussels were also tasty and a hefty portion. The Brussels were good but a tad bit too sweet - also a huge portion. We ended with Chocolate Bundt cake with hazelnut ice cream - epic. They have a huge cocktail list, which truly has something for everyone. Classy spot with classy waiters. It was a very memorable meal. read more

Sadly this restaurant has gone downhill. Starting with the hostess who was clearly indifferent when she informed us about the 20 minute wait when we arrived even though we had a reservation. Thinking that by choosing to eat at the bar, we would speed things along. We were sorely disappointed as we sat for 20 minutes without the bartender approaching us once, which worked well as the table was ready by then. So we went back to plan A and accepted the table. Things progressed accordingly. The reservation required us to choose which menu we would be using, the prefixe or the a la carte. We had chosen the prefixe so were surprised when the waiter informed us that the prefixe option was not available on that particular evening. Again trying to be accommodating, we ordered off the a la carte menu. Two out of four of the tapas dishes arrived promptly (even if one of them was not especially cooked well). We then sat for a good 30 minutes and watched everyone else being served while we waited for the rest of our meal. Eventually we inquired, only to be told that the remainder of our order was not given to the kitchen. Sigh. We were enthusiastic about about this restaurant when it initially opened a few years ago. It has not maintained it's quality. read more

Beautiful romantic spot that is good for date night, family time, or drinks and laughs. Wait staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious as well as are the drinks. We sampled the Patatas Bravas, Croquetas, and Chorizo. All were absolutely great. The red sangria was also really good. More on the sweet side than tart wine taste if you were wondering. Definitely worth making it a regular meet up spot. read more

I came here for dinner. All the food was excellent across the many dishes ordered, and the service was prompt. The space looks nice too.

Incredible happy hour at the bar--great deals and some of the best cocktails I have ever had with a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. My friend and I shared three appetizers (for $10 each!) and they were all great, the empanadas were incredible with shrimp and chorizo and I loved the dipping sauce. Three appetizers gave between the two of left me with my lunch for the next day! The Lost in Seville was delicious and refreshing and strong and the Fondo Flamenco was warm and deep and sweet and delightfully strong underneath that--I'll have to get the pandan cocktail next time! Lovely atmosphere overall even though it was a little empty on a Monday night (haha the only day my friend was in town!) with warm moody lighting and excellent service from the bartender. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Great selection of tapas. The paellas are delicious and a must have. Great service and ambience. Nice decor.

Friendly staff, delicious food- what more can you ask for? We typically order the pan con tomate, octopus, fried artichokes, croquettes, and have also tried the crudo special w cheese (unlikely combo but it works), shrimp, the paella, calamari and scallops. Would recommend making a res as it gets very busy during peak times/weekend. read more

First review of 2024, and we could not think of a better restaurant to review! @buleriataberna has officially become one of our favorites. Every single bite bursts with flavor! * Kiwi Mojito Calldo Gallego Lamb Skewers Tres Colas Empanadas Angus Beef Croquettes Churrasco Bravo * I wish we had room for more because every single item was great and the deserts looked amazing, we just physically could not eat anymore! The vibes were great. Service spectacular! Food amazing. We can't wait to go back for happy hour and the night life, will do another review of course - We did get a small dessert which was the Sherry Port. Think Sherry from Spain meets Port from Portugal! Do I need to say more?! read more

Good spot for a few glasses of wine and a variety of tapas! Everything was pretty good and nice portions. Reasonable prices too. Ambiance is casual and warm and inviting. The only critique is that I felt like all the food was served kind of cool or room temp-ish...nothing seems hot off the stove, almost like it'd been sitting for a few minutes too long. The only thing that was HOT like it was freshly made were the patatas bravas. Everything else was semi-warm, but still tasty. Would go back to try the paella next time. read more

New(ish) tapas spot. The ambience and decor are solid. Staff is friendly and attentive. Where this place could use a revamp is the food menu. It has a lot of stuff, i just dont find a lot of it to be authentic tapas or even good tapas. The flavors all blend, same sauce seems to be used across some dishes. Portions are good for tapas but not outsized value. I would give this place another try if there is a change to the menu, but for now its not on my go-to list. read more

Overbooked for Valentine's Day. Made a reservation way in advance and over 1.5 hr to get seated.

Nos encantó! El servicio fue excelente. Llegamos como a las 7:30pm y fue cuando se comenzó a llenar, así que recomiendo hacer reserva o llegar temprano. The food was DELICIOUS! We had: 1. la punta - omg, que carne más rica! 2. Meatballs - sooo good and tasty! 3. A country for two men - so flavorful!! Amazing! The owner was really nice. Mi esposo y el tuvieron una conversación corta y fue muy amable! Great service and ambiance. AMAZING food! read more

Amazing food and service I'm very pleased, the grill octopus just phenomenal. Definitely I come back!!!!!! A+++++++++++++

Delicious food and wonderful service. This is a great neighborhood find and I'm looking forward to going again.

Incredible date night! They have so many different types of tapas, it was hard to choose. I loved every single dish here and I don't even know if I have a favorite because everything was amazing. The Puntas (filet mignon tips) were perfectly cooked and tender. The Baby Lobster and the Baby Squid were also delicious. We had to order their Paella Mixta and I loved that it came work seafood and meet. Everything was amazing. Can't wait to go back again soon!

Had such an amazing dinner here! We tried this spot for the first time and had the most delicious dinner. They are a little bit of a whole in the wall restaurant located by the tuckahoe train station. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with dark interior and Spanish tile. The interior was clean and cozy, with beautiful artwork throughout. The hostess, wait staff and bartender were extremely warm and attentive. We had a late dinner so we got there early and sat at the bar. We ordered the spicy mango sangria and fondo flamenco and both were amazing. The sangria definitely had a kick so if your a fan of a spicy mango marg this had the same effect. For dinner we shared a few tapas- we got the puntas, croquetas, chicken skewers, chorizo and shrimp empanadas, and the spicy honey Brussel sprouts. Everything was incredible, our favorite was the croquetas and the brussel sprouts, you can't go wrong with those. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be coming back here. The food was delicious and the drinks were outstanding. They had an extensive wine list from all over Spain as well, so that really gave you the feel of the Spanish culture. Loved it! read more

Too expensive for the quality of food. Some dishes are good, others are not, like the ALBONDIGAS, overly cooked, dry meat balls.

Love this new addition to Tuckahoe. It just opened in January and seems to be doing well. All of our food was delicious from the starters to entree and dessert (including both veggie and meat dishes). The servers were especially helpful. Stop by this new spot but go early or on a weekday or make sure you have a reservation bc it will def get full! read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM BEGINNING TO END .... walked in and asked about parking and quarters , and instead of telling us they had parking in the back , they first tell us they don't carry quarters ... and after we asked how we park than they say they had parking in the back ... The hostess was FAR from pleasant . We sat at the bar and there was a girl ( who didn't know the drink menu ) and a guy who wasn't that pleasant either . Please note that was our first time there and we needed time to look at the drink menu and the food menu . They actually made a face when we said we needed a little more time . Mind you we got there at around 4:30 and they basically had just opened so the place wasn't even that busy so what's the rush . We asked the girl bartender about a beer and she said she didn't know about it ( sorry but isn't that her job too know ?) We finally order our drinks and they served my sangria in a WET glass .. (VERY SLIPPERY) . So as I grab the glass it slipped off my hand and all my sangria went all over the bar counter . Instead of helping us they actually made a face when the drink was dropped and as they cleaned up . We than ordered another drink , in total I only had 2 glasses of sangria once I didn't even take a sip off the first one because it spilled ... Than my boyfriend asked if the had a Caldo Gallego soup and they said NO .. we than turn the menu over and find out it's actually on the menu .. SO THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE MENU ... We ordered a Caldo Gallego soup ( the kale was WAY to over cooked ) ordered the ham croquette and that was definitely frozen before they fried it because it was served cold and the middle was pure ice when you bite . We also ordered the chorizo and there was NOTHING so special about that .. barely any on a plate full of peppers and onions but barely any chorizo ... In all honesty that is all we ordered because the food wasn't really that impressive and the service was even worse , NOTHING pleasant or welcoming about this place . As is this experience wasn't BAD enough , at the end when we asked for the bill , they actually CHARGED US for the drink that was spilled due to their incompetence of serving a drink in a completely WET glass .. ... I will be calling the manager whom I told was named Lucas and I hope he at least takes some customer service into consideration for the next patrons in the future because we WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE BACK ... there's plenty of other places in the area , so please go elsewhere .. this place is not worth one single penny .. FORGET IT !!! read more

Delicious! 4 of us sampled a table filled with tapas - pulpo was perfectly tender, crispy artichokes seasoned perfectly, pan con tomate great flavor, burrata - can never go wrong with burrata - olive mix was great (and pitted!), truffle fries yum! Patatas bravas were pretty good, a little greasy. Steak was cooked well but a little under seasoned. Garlic shrimp were well cooked and well seasoned. The shishito peppers were a little under seasoned as well. The cookie with strawberry ice cream and churros were great. The molten lava cake wasn't molten which was sad, but had good flavor. Cocktails were all delicious, but on the expensive side. Service was attentive and friendly. Space was dark and cozy - perfect for a night out with friends! We didn't try any mains, but many sounded great. Will definitely be back to work my way through the menu! read more

I tried Buleria last night with my friends. We had a wide assortment of hot tapas. I loved the croquetas. The meatballs, grilled octopus and shrimp were all excellent. I was disappointed with the beef carpaccio and the artichoke heart salad. They were tasty but the serving size was very small. Our main course was the seafood squid ink paella. The seafood was cooked very nicely but our paella rice was overly salty. I brought home the leftovers and am going to add plain rice to it and more seafood to make it into another meal. We also tried the churros with hot chocolate sauce. The fry job was a bit heavy but I always enjoy something sweet at the end of the meal. Service was amazing. My water glass was constantly refilled and I felt that the staff was very attentive. It is great that Tuckahoe now has a nice tapas bar. I look forward to trying out the other menu items! read more

Great place for Tapas! Love the great selection of the drinks, especially the wines. I had two beautiful wines, a glass of Txakoli and a glass of Rioja. Both of the wines were perfectly paired with all the dishes we ordered. My favorite of the night was the King Prawn Paella and the Churrasco. The Paella rice was cooked perfectly with flavorful giant shrimps. And the chorizo gives an amazing flavor to the paella. Make sure to order ahead. It takes about 45min. Couldn't stop eating them. The steak was cooked medium rare and it was so tender with the delicious chimichurri rojo. All the desserts were excellent. read more
