Compact counter-serve eatery preparing traditional Colombian dishes & baked goods.
Great Bandeja paisa. Enjoyed it very much. chicharron cooked perfectly. It wasn't petrified like other places serve it. A Soul soothing meal. The tostones con chicharron y guacamole was great as well. 2nd time back so far and will come back more. Best bandeja paisa I've had in brooklyn so far. I've been to 4 other place in brooklyn and they haven't been good.

will update soon but long overdue first visit was swell. polar beer available- how nice. authentic queso guayanes, incredibly rare to find in the states but so delicious. and the arepas are perfect, obviously. bartender is super attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drinks, and overall just a great spot to get big food vibes without feeling heavy.

My husband and I stopped by this El Tina on a really cold day, looking for something warm and comforting, and the experience was mixed but overall pleasant. He ordered the sancocho and I had the mondongo. The service was a strong point. Our server, I believe her name was Elba, was polite, kind, and attentive, which always makes a difference, especially on a chilly day when you just want to sit and warm up. My husband really enjoyed his sancocho and appreciated that they don’t add carrots (or po

Well! we bought tickets for an event on 2/7/26 unfortunately from the time we arrived to the place, we feel cold any where.. yes on Saturday January 7 2026 the weather was cold onside the restaurant, it was one of the cold days, but inside the place, with the 15 people (my group) inside the restaurant, the cold was so terrible, all were using our jackets and hats to avoid being freezing. When we asked to the person in charge of the place (owner) he said it is what it is. We saw the workers with

My girlfriend introduced me to this amazing place. They have decently priced drinks that absolutely do the job, the kitchen has some pretty good dishes like their signature arroz chaufa which I highly recommend we eat it every time we go and it never disappoints. They have a backyard which you can for a quick smoke and pop back in and watch sports on their big screen and some great music to set the mood for the night! Will be going back 5/5 service for the bartenders as well

I decided to take my staff to your restaurant after seeing the great reviews. However, I was very disappointed with the service during our visit. After ordering a drink called Maracuya, I immediately noticed that the milk tasted spoiled. I informed the server and asked if I could change the drink. She said she would check, but then another server came and told me that I would still have to pay for it. I was surprised — especially since the drink was clearly bad. When I asked to speak with a man

The steak here is absolutely delicious. I ordered the skirt steak, and it was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and very satisfying. The portion was great, the sides went really well with it, and everything tasted fresh. Lugo Lounge & Restaurant is definitely a spot I would order from again. Highly recommend their steak!

I took my mom to Rosa’s at the park for Mother’s Day and we had an amazing time! The music was incredible and created such a fun, relaxing atmosphere. The food and service were both excellent, and the staff made the experience feel special from the moment we arrived. It was the perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day with family. We’ll definitely be back again!

Came here for dinner to celebrate my Mother’s Bday and had Javiera as our waitress. Javiera was super attentive, provided suggestions, and was super sweet. The place accepts cash, Amex, and an app BlackBird. (They have an ATM). Please don’t let this stop you from going there. The food and drinks were delicious!!! I would definitely comeback another day.

I recently visited this Salvadorian restaurant and had a very enjoyable experience. The horchata stood out immediately—refreshing, well-balanced, and easily a 9/10. The pupusas were flavorful and cooked perfectly, with a satisfying texture that paired well with the accompaniments. I also tried the pastelitos de carne, which were delicious and well-seasoned. One highlight was the green picante, which had just the right level of heat and complemented the dishes nicely without overpowering them. It

If you are looking for an authentic Peruvian meal, this spot delivers. While the staff was incredibly friendly, they weren't quite as attentive as I am typically used to. However, the food and drinks more than made up for it. The fresh passion fruit juice was absolutely delicious. For starters, the empanadas alongside the tostones and guacamole were perfect. The spicy seafood soup was a highlight; the seafood tasted like it just came right out of the ocean and the broth was packed with flavor an

My first luncheon on a snowy day! Fernanda waited on me. Courteous, speedy, attentive and a good server. I had 2 apps and a dessert. Thoroughly enjoyed all! Quite a busy Sunday luncheon it was. Full of energy and great vibe. I enjoyed my Sunday brunch out here. Too loud banging music - I didn’t like at all, but that’s how this place is designed for. And it’s all good. Both servers were nice and attentive. Definitely going back soon. 👍😋‼️🙏

I went to this place for lunch after work and I realize this is a Hidden Gem. They have good pizza but when I went inside I noticed they had other good foods that smelled amazing I'm going to have to stop by and try some other Foods because their Pizza is not their specialty. And some of the customers told me about a few different dishes I should try. The owner of the time to talk to me and I was amazed with inside their establishment

So I stopped by my usual spot which is Vals just to get some rice and beans for a quick bite only to find out that it’s a new company and that they don’t do takeouts. The gentleman there referred me to Ralph’s and I went there for the first time. There were a lot of people there so that has to say something. I didn’t analyze the place like I usually do with new places I go to but I did manage to see that there was seating for dine in towards the back. That’s a plus. They have a large variety of

The owners was so kind and greeted us quickly and offered such amiable service. Have to try the pupusas here. We tried both corn and rice and corn is definitely more traditional and preferable to my taste but great to try the rice as well. We were given an horchata on this hot day which was perfect and refreshing while creamy.

Enjoyed my experience here overall. The service is nice, I had a male server. The female server that usually have did not arrive until I was getting ready to leave. He was fairly friendly and attentive which is always appreciated. The rum punch on happy hour was mid, more sweet punch than anything else. I had the Mofonguitos of chicken. Quality ingredients for sure and the portion size was great, definitely meant for sharing but I had two appetizers instead of a meal. I also ordered the chick

I visited Chica and Don with some coworkers and walked away genuinely impressed. This place is the definition of a hidden gem. From the moment you step inside, the vibe hits you immediately. The décor is stunning, sophisticated and modern without feeling pretentious. It's the kind of space that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in before you even look at the menu. The service matched the atmosphere perfectly. Our team was attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel effortless,

Had dinner here last night and it was just an incredible experience. We started with the chicken croquettes, which were juicy and delicious but perfectly crispy on the outside. My daughter had the Denver steak, cooked and sliced to perfection. I had the Philly cheesesteak, Neptune’s pillow, and foie gras cotton candy. Each dish was such a nice surprise and full of delicious flavors. Got the Keylime beach for dessert and it was so innovative. The ambience was incredible, it’s a beautiful location

My friends and I ate here before going to support another friend of ours at Target Margin Theater. I love how familiar the place feels with an almost elevated hole in the wall aesthetic. We were greeted warmly by staff and our servers were very informative, patient and helpful. The restaurant is on the smaller scale so once it started to get busy service was less quick but no less attentive! For the table to share, we got the calamari and shrimp (which came highly recommend and with good reason!

I ordered the Grilled Chorizo Bowl. Overall it was pretty good, but the chorizo was a little dry. I was expecting a stronger traditional smoky and salty flavor, but this version tasted lighter and more mild. On the positive side, it did feel a bit healthier and not too greasy. The bowl was fresh and filling, just wish the chorizo had more flavor.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants! The food is consistently delicious, well-seasoned, and fresh. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, and the customer service is always friendly and professional. You can tell they really care about quality and their customers. I’ve been here multiple times and it never disappoints. If you’re looking for great food and a reliable dining experience, this is the place to go!”

Claudia’s in Brooklyn was an excellent experience. The food tasted very traditional and authentic, which is something you can immediately notice. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly every option felt solid and well thought out. Sometimes a smaller menu done right is better than a huge menu trying to do too much. The drinks were also very well made and paired nicely with the food. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, although the restaurant itself is fairly small, so it definitely gets

I hope the owner sees this review and doesn’t ignore it. It’s not just about noticing the good things—it’s also about paying attention to what customers don’t like and what isn’t working. I’ve ordered from this place several times, and while I understand they serve a lot of customers, the customer service is very basic. The real issue is that they repeatedly get orders wrong and then try to blame the customer for their mistakes. Anyone can make a mistake, and we overlooked it several times, but

Latin American fare from tacos to empanadas, served in a bright, rustic-chic space with live music.
SUCH a good find after exploring the park and cloisters. Everything tasted like it was made fresh and the yuca fries were magic. The flautas were PACKED, the drinks strong, and the tacos were street-style and the perfect amount of food. We were checked on by three different staff members and our waitress was a sweetheart. The music was great and atmosphere welcoming and lively. It made our day!

So this is my fourth time ordering from this restaurant and I am absolutely disgusted because I found maggots floating on top of my beans. I called the store to let them know and they insisted that that’s impossible. They don’t have worms in their beans. He then told me I had two options cancel it or come in and get a new order. Like why would I wanna order more food if there’s maggots in my beans? He continued to deny and say it’s impossible for them to have maggots. I’m so disgusted.

La Caridad 72 provides Asian/Cuban based cuisine. We had avocado salad and calamari for appetizers. Calamari was crispy and had that salt/pepper flavor I like which was Cantonese style. Very good. We also had crackling chicken. Crispy outside and tender inside. I wish it comes with some sauce. Boychoy was good, simply sautéed dish. Fried fish with fried rice was great. Love the fish was soft and easy to break apart. Outside breading part was not soggy at all. Beef was not my favorite. I think t

This is a go-to spot for my friends and I after the our spin class. The indoor & outdoor seating is first come first serve and it is recommended that you order, get a number & have a seat. The food is really good & my normal order is avocado toast with the chorizo. I prefer a hard boiled egg but they haven’t been able to get the egg right.

Highly recommend and will definitely comeback.

Terrible, happens everytime in most Dominic food spots. Majority of your Pollo Al Horno lunch combo will be white rice & 2 of the tiniest pieces of chicken they can find in the huge batch of chicken they have right behind them.

I'll start off by saying that the food here is good. And this restaurant is also one of the MANY Latin restaurants that are on seemingly every other block in Washington Heights. So, if you don't end up eating here, I'm sure you'll be able to find another spot somewhere close and have food very comparable to what you'd find here. Started off with the roasted chicken and rice & beans. All serviceable. The chicken pieces were a bit small for my liking, but still pretty good. It's hard for any Lati
