Cozy Upper West Side Spanish tapas spot with strong vegetable plates, friendly service, and good wines; proteins and paella can be inconsistent and tapas format pushes checks higher.
Buceo 95 delivers reliable neighborhood tapas dining with attentive, friendly service and attractive, warmly lit space that encourage lingering. Vegetable dishes and fideos shine, though proteins show uneven seasoning and doneness across visits, preventing grade A territory. The cozy bar scene and happy hour value appeal to locals seeking a convivial spot rather than a citywide destination.
One caveat: Protein dishes can be underseasoned or overcooked according to multiple diners
