“Fun little place. I expected the floral decor to be in the whole restaurant but it was centered in a specific area next to the bar. The tables had touch lighting that can change color depending on the mood. The hostess and wait staff had so much energy and smiles that were contagious. The menu items have an Asian flair especially since of the apps and fried rice (chaufa) offering. I got the pacha sour, which is a pisco sour with chicha morada and lomo saltado with tender steak pieces. Others got the arroz con mariscos that had prawns, squid and mussels. The lomo quesadillas were good too and the guacamole was good with it. The side of mashed potatoe was creamy and so buttery. For dessert, we got the flan and tres leches cake. Everything was delicious and is worth coming back to try other dishes.“
“I walking into this restaurant looking for a quick but fresh lunch. The space was very clean and orderly. The staff is attentive and personable. I ordered a burrito with pernil, corn salsa, pickled red onions and cheese. As a side, I got the chickpea and cucumber salad. I really have to say I was very impressed with the freshness and flavor of the food without being over seasoned. Next time I will remember to write a review before I devour all the food. ?“
“I've lived in this area for almost a decade, but had not yet found Latin food that could compare to what I had growing up in Union City and when I lived in the city and visited Washington Heights. Until now, that is! Surrender Cafe recently became available on DoorDash. I had never heard of it, but was drawn by the great reviews, tempting photos of the food, and many of my favorites on a menu with lots of my favorites. This is the first time I've ever ordered from a place, and then immediately again the next day. I especially love that so many of their dishes are available in smaller portions. Want to try the mofongo? Here's the mofonguitos! And meat-only portions can be had of just about everything in small, medium or large sizes, which made it easy for me to sample the beef and chicken guisado, red and black beans, pernil, so I ordered the bistec ecebollado for my main dish. Everything, absolutely everything is delicious, and arrived well packaged. Oh - and I almost forgot - the tres leches! Absolutely top notch. Not only some of the best Latin food I've ever had, but some of the best comfort food I've ever had, period.“

“This was our first time trying Pollo Campero in the U.S. and was really blown away on how delicious it taste like back home in Guatemala.The Yuca fries are to die for. They are soft, moist, and crispy on the outside.The chicken was delicious and juicy.Our order came out as expected. The chicken was extra fresh out the oil.The staff here were very welcoming and helpful.The restaurant is clean, especially the two bathrooms (you will need a code from the cashier to unlock the bathroom doors), and quiet.This is located in a busy area but there is parking at the back of the restaurant!I highly recommend stopping here to grab some fresh chicken to eat!“
“Our waiter (John) and the manger (Emerson) were so nice! We came to celebrate my friend’s birthday on a Wednesday night . The ambiance and music was so liveky. The cocktails were so yummy and the appetizers were so yummy! Thank you guys ! Great vibes !“
“This restaurant is a hole in the wall and not well known of besides the locals. This has to be the best place I've been to for Chicharron, the pork is perfectly cooked, crackly and crispy pork skin and juicy tender meat. The flavor and crunch is perfectly enjoyed by my family with some tortillas and salsa picante. Some Chicharron tacos. Besides the Chicharron we have also gotten other food but I would only return again for that Chicharron.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is floor level and has no steps, perfect for wheelchair access.“
“Very tasty food, especially flavorful and the fried food was non greasy! Had the chicharrones that had pork, cassava and plantains and all were fried to perfection. Followed that with grilled fish rice and beans which was simple yet sumptuous. Also had chicharrones tacos that packed heat and juicyness. Excellent food, pleasant service, clean place, definitely will be a repeat customer.Parking: At rear of the establishment“
“Nancy at the avenel food truck is AMAZING. She is such a good energy person, makes great conversation. I’ve tried the cuban sandwich, all the empanadas, a LOT of food here. This place is great and I will come here just to talk to Nancy sometimes! Good place to bring your family, order ahead of time to not wait!“

“Fantastic restaurant, really I can’t get enough of this place. Great food , service and music, will be going back for sure . Nice location with outdoor and indoor seating. The food is a nice mixture of different Hispanic and Latin culture.PS: BYOB !!!!!“
“I have gotten a few different empanadas since working in the neighborhood from Angie's and they are so good!! I tried the chicken stew yesterday, which I asked for with yellow rice, black beans, and plantains and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful, filling, and all cooked perfectly. The prices aren't too bad too. The only thing I would ask for is better containers- I ordered takeout and the liquid from the chicken stew almost spilled out of the container all over my outfit! Otherwise I will be getting this at least once a week!!“
“We enjoy to go out. Last night we went to this excellent restaurant which friends told us about. We passed a lovely evening there with very good meal and a courteous stuff and a great chef. We put this fine restaurant in our phone list and we shall definitely visit again soon. We deeply recommend.“
“I love the empanadas and the soup is amazing! The only improvement would definitely be about how the service could be more timely focused. My friend and I waited a long time just for appetizers and the place was not even half full. So if you're in a hurry be upfront. All places have good and bad days but I would love to see this place do great!“
