The RUDEST manager. Portions far smaller than Pil Pil, Boqueria - both of which I had been to in past month - and every other tapas place I have ever gone to but the prices high for what you get. I have been to Spain and they can try to convince people these were tapas size but no. In Spain it’s either larger portions or small prices or top cuisine. Food is bland and unsophisticated. They have decided to rip their customers off and shame on them. Worst dining experience of the year. The place is cute inside and I guess the happy hour wouldn’t be bad for a glass of wine. But the rest is horrible. I live in the neighborhood and so want to be supportive. But I will be sure to steer people away. Such a shame.

Service was very attentive. The restaurant would need more light, there were several of us using the cell to see the menu. Food was very well presented and I would call it 50% Spaniard, the rest has been American adapted. Would go again.

Decent food but not Spanish. Some Spanish names and ingredients but not recipes.Too dark, you can't even read the menu.Good service.Ok if it's convenient to you, but not worth it going out you way to pay a visit.

Great Spanish tapas with tasty food and nice vibe! All the food we tried was good. Portion of each dish is not too big and we were able to try four dish. Our waiter was very nice as well. Would love to come back again and try other dish!

We had so many small plates to try and remotely fill us up, which is fine since it IS a tapas place. They were very tasty.

Had the patatas fritas and the fideos con jabali (noodles with boar). Both were tasty and satisfying. Service is friendly and attentive. Wine prices are reasonable.

I went to Buceo 95 on a Saturday night around 8pm to get some tapas and drinks. Did not need to make a reservation but the restaurant was quite full. The staff is really kind and attentive.They provide some bread and olive oil to dip. I was pleasantly surprised they had one of my favorite Spanish beers, ALHAMBRA LAGER, which that never dissapoints and I ordered some tapas to share. The BRAISED CAULIFLOWER was a great surprise, it had a cheesy manchego delicious sauce and was cooked to the perfect tenderness. I was a bit dissapointed about the OCTOPUS as its just few small baby octopus with some fried potatoes. But probably my fault as I did not read the menu properly and was expecting large octopus tentacles. Then also had the GRILLED SKIRT STEAK, which was well cooked and eaten with some mustard green sauce.In summary I feel that the food is good, they just need to improve the octopus and their service is great!SPANISH:I went to Buceo 95 on a Saturday night around 8pm to have some tapas and drinks. It was not necessary to make a reservation but the restaurant was quite full. The staff is very friendly and attentive.They serve some bread and olive oil to spread.

The COOKED CAULIFLOWER was a great surprise, served with a delicious Manchego cheese sauce and was cooked perfectly until tender. I was a little disappointed with the OCTOPUS as it was a few pieces of small octopus with fries.

Then I also tried the CHURRASCO, which was well cooked and comes with a green mustard sauce.In short, I think the food is good, they just need to improve the octopus a little and the service is great!

Very good tapas definitely not for vegetarians and vegans. The wild boar and pork belly were crispy perfection. Nice atmosphere. The noise level, which other reviews mentioned was okay but that was probably because it was early.

Maya Jackson Pellegrini

Great tapas spot. The atmosphere is cozy and not too loud. The staff were attentive and kind. For food we ordered asparagus (5/5), stuffed mushrooms (5/5), anchovies (5/5), octopus (3/5), and wild boar (5/5). We also had yummy churros and recommend the spicy margarita.

I've used it multiple times for eat-in and delivery.Recommended dishes are squid rings and mini octopus. When you order a delivery, you will receive French bread as a service.The wine in the store is delicious, and the staff is kind.The day I went, it seemed to be a staff member's birthday, and the other staff members were celebrating. I think the staff members get along well with each other.I will visit again.One of my favorite restaurants.After eating this restaurant's food, I started planning a trip to Spain.We especially recommend the squid rings and octopus dishes. The wine is also delicious.I will visit again.

My wife and I have eaten here several times over the last couple of years. The menu is extensive, and the food is always really good. We have tried many different small plates. The croquettes are especially recommended. Service was good. The only downside is that the inside tables are all tall, and we like regular tables. So in February we sat outside, and it was comfortable until the heater above our table stopped working. Will return in the spring or fall when outdoor dining is more comfortable. Oh, the owner/hostess is very solicitous and congenial.

Another great dinner at Buceo. Have been coming for years, and it never fails, consistent and delicious. We had the goat cheese croquettes, gambas, baby octopus, brussel sprouts, and lamb chops, our mouths are still watering. The staff is knowledgeable and fun, always make us feel at home and spot on with tapas and wine suggestions.
