Boka Pinchos

Sliced directly from the bone right before your eyes at the counter, the cured ham is an essential first order at Boka Pinchos. The evening starts smoothly as you pair the nutty, gently salted slices of jamón Ibérico with a Spanish draft beer or a chilled glass of sherry.

The signature paella takes time to cook, so placing an order for the seafood paella early in the meal is part of the rhythm here. While waiting, diners can graze on a variety of small plates: anchovy-accented potato salad, shrimp ajillo, and duck confit keep conversation lively and pair effortlessly with sangria or wine.

The seafood paella arrives in a generous portion easily shared between two. Other traditional Spanish specialties, such as pasta-based fideuà and soupy meloso rice simmered in paella broth, give returning guests plenty of reasons to explore the rest of the menu.

Featuring vintage wooden fittings, the interior weaves subtle Japanese aesthetics into a calm, welcoming dining room with both counter and table seating. It works equally well for an evening spent solo at the counter over tapas and a drink or a leisurely dinner shared around paella with friends.
