Food not good. Paella has very little protein. Meat one literally has two pieces of chicken
Boqueria UESResponded on 14 February 2025
Hi Steven, Your feedback about the paella is concerning, and it's disappointing to hear that it did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the lack of protein in your dish. This input is crucial for us to enhance our menu offerings and ensure a better experience in the future. Peter Yuen, Assistant General Manager

Energetic environment and the staff was all very positive. The seating was cramped in the back room though and we had to move our table 2-3 inches to squeeze out on our way to the bathroom or when letting others to their table to our left. We ordered the classic tasting menu. Paella and potatoes were very good, but everything else was underwhelming. Average cocktails. Probably not somewhere we’ll come back to unless we’re able to be seated up front and opt for our own menu choices.

Good food, good service and I appreciate the option of a coat check due to the tight seating.

Good vibe, nice ambience and delicious food. I’ve been to different Boqueria locations in NYC, but this is my first time at UES. We went for brunch during Xmas week, had a pleasant experience and enjoyed our food very much. Service was good, it’s definitely a reliable joint for tapas/spanish food.
