“good food and friendly staff...“

“While visiting Bridgeport, Connecticut, I stumbled upon a small but impressive spot—Banderas Latin Fusion. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the owner, who also happens to be the chef.

The menu was full of tempting options, making it hard to choose just one. What stood out immediately was the care and precision the chef put into every dish. He prepared and plated each entrée meticulously, holding all three plates behind the counter until they were perfectly finished. Only then did he bring them to the table, showing clear pride in his craft.

The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful without being overwhelmed by too much sazón or adobo, which can sometimes be the case at other Puerto Rican spots. The balance of flavors was just right.

Overall, it was a memorable visit. The food, service, and dedication made it worth the stop, and I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“

“We hadn't been here since in changed names/owners a few years ago. Four diners ordering 4 completely different meals - it was hard to choose which one we liked best. Starting with the street corn dip and poached pear; both were a hit, but the party was divided on whether or not they would have liked the pear served warm (it was served cold) and filled with honey mascarpone and lots of pistachios. We moved onto the main courses of chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes; steak with truffle fries; orecchiette with broccoli and sausage; hamburger with fries. Everything was cooked to perfection (steak medium rare, chicken crispy and not at all dry, burger medium with just a hint of pink in the center.) The drinks were creative (did not skimp on the alcohol!) and plentiful, refilled quickly by our attentive server. Desserts as always tend to make or break a meal; these desserts did not disappoint. Banana tres leches cake, Amaretto crème brulee and the special cookie and ice cream combination along with coffee and digestif. A special treat for the evening - Live entertainment in the bar area. Not too loud, we could still have dining room conversation over the music, but found ourselves singing along to most of the tunes. There is definitely something here for everyone!“

“This has very quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I loved it so much I had to bring my family and bought extra for friends to try, up to yesterday they’ve called me to ask what to order.

The atmosphere is open and warm, and the customer service is excellent! I truly love this place and plan to frequent it often. Thank you to the amazing staff for making us feel so welcomed when we came by.“

“My favorite go to for lunch!! 😋“

“This is my first time trying Columbian food and I am hooked!!!!! The AL Pastor Columbian style Arepas is by far one of the most delicious things I have had in a long time. The cornbread base was sweet without being cloying and mixed with the pork and pineapple, OH MY GOD! My dish came with a side of some of the most flavorful rice I have ever had and it was topped with some sweet plantains. The serving is more than generous. I'm a big girl and I am easily getting 2 meals out of my order. The prices are very reasonable! Do yourself a favor and find this hidden gem while you are in town. You will not be disappointed!“

“Listen if you go here every day you will spend a lot of money because you want to buy everything. The food is the best I have tasted since I been in CT. I am from NY so I know good food. I tell everyone about this place. It deserves more than 5 stars. You will not regret it the food is fresh and delicious everyday!!!! The staff is the kindest people ever!!!“

“Tried this place earlier today. My daughter bought me back a pulled chicken Arepa with Rice, Queso and the Garlic Crema. Wow it was so good definitely will be going myself.“

“This is the only place I order food from. I’m glad I found it.“

“My lunch amigas ordered vegetarian option for empanada and Ecuadorean version of tamales. And banana plantain stuffed with crumbled cheese. Next time, we will make room for dessert and will continue this review for sure! I highly recommended this restaurant.“

“It was so nice out that we sat outside. The 3 of us shared our food. Enjoyed everything we had. The shrimp tacos were all we talked about. The margaritas were delicious. The service… very friendly but also a little slow. We sat with empty glasses for a bit. Had to call her over to get another. We will definitely be back though

Parking: Unfortunately there’s only street parking so there aren’t a lot of spots. It’s across for the Salvation Army so maybe you can park there. But then you would have to cross Dixwell Ave“

“I have been coming here for over five years. Date night My son’s 16 bday Breakfast 👩‍🍳 😘“

“The atmosphere is intimate, the empanada's are so amazing, with a very creative variety!! It is clear that this is a labor of love, and your palette will benefit in a big way. I also, happen to catch a couple of event nights there that were really enjoyable. One, displayed a artists paintings, and the other was an open mic night, anyone was welcome. That was most enjoyable.. Put this on your "must" list!!“
