Boqueria Ues

Came here again with a friend this evening and it was terrific! If you can get in for the happy hour pricing (it goes until 6pm) it's a great deal on food and drinks and I loved my seasonal sangria (it was a pineapple mezcal situation). The food was great! Obviously easily-shareable portions and a delicious medley of flavors. On the main menu, I'd highly recommend the bacon-wrapped dates and the lamb skewers. That being said, there's so much more to try for the next time I'm back! Highly recommend the churro split - delish!

I’ve been to the other locations, but this UES location lacks in comparison. It feels like the decor/ambiance was an afterthought and it’s not as clean as the other locations. Their high-top chairs are too narrow and we kept sliding off. The food and service were good, though. Their pitcher of rose sangria was horrible—do not get it. I highly recommend their gambas al ajillo, seafood paella and both croquette’s.

I’ve been a recurring customer at Boqueria for the past two years and have seen it change a lot. The food is probably the best its been so far and the tapas have been reduced in their price. HOWEVER the plate sizes have decreased significantly. The patatas bravas are half the size that they used to be and so are the croquetas. That said, the jamon croquetas, bacon wrapped dates, and red wine sangria are amazing. The atmosphere is wondeful and the service was very efficient. Great place for dinner with friends or partner. Came on a Friday around 7PM and was lucky to get a table without reservation but recommend reserving ahead. Will come again!

10/10 on everything! The servers were wonderful and the food was exceptional. I had the pa amb tomàquet (pan con tomate), the truita (tortilla española) and the flan. I shared the shishito peppers with someone else. The pa amb tomàquet was very fresh and had a zing to it, but too much salt. The truita was full of flavour and was quite rich and filling. The peppers were your typical shishito peppers. The peacock was quite refreshing. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The flan was also wonderful, but parts of it had ice crystals it.

Everything was really good. The Vermouth wine was excellent. One of them was less sweet and we ordered that again. The staff were friendly but the tables were too close to each other! We have to move the table to pass by! I know restaurants in New York pack people like cans of sardines, but this one was too packed!
