“I am absolutely thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the Center for the Women of New York (CWNY), for the incredible support we received from Avo Taco during our recent fundraising gala, Taste Around The World Fort Totten. Avo Taco truly went above and beyond, and their contribution made this night truly unforgettable. As an organization that heavily relies on the generosity of local restaurants, we couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and enthusiastic partner than Avo Taco. They not only delivered but exceeded all expectations. Avo Taco's commitment to our cause was evident from the moment they stepped in. Avo Taco brought more than just delicious food to our event; they brought a whole atmosphere of festivity. Their staff's warm and friendly presence added a wonderful touch to the evening. The tacos they served were an absolute delight – bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The guacamole paired with tortilla chips was a crowd-pleaser, and their attention to detail, right down to the decorative beads, truly helped create a festive ambiance. Avo Taco's generous contribution played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our fundraising gala. It's businesses like these that make a significant difference in our community, and their dedication to giving back does not go unnoticed. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Avo Taco to everyone in search of not only delicious food but also a business that is deeply committed to its community. Avo Taco, thank you for making our event a resounding success, and we look forward to continuing to support your business as a token of our appreciation for your unwavering commitment to ours.

“Bareburger is one of my favorite burger spots! Their grass-fed beef burgers are incredible and I love that they truly cater to every dietary need. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan you name it, it’s all clearly listed on the menu, making it easy for everyone to find something delicious. The sweet potato fries are always perfectly cooked and so tasty. On top of that, the service is amazing. Sadia, in particular, is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure customers leave happy. I highly recommend Bareburger for anyone looking for a delicious, inclusive, and welcoming burger experience.“

“We loved the drinks, and the food was excellent, served by a lovely lady who provided wonderful service. Lady DJ DOZA was incredible on 12/13/2025. Her mixes set the perfect mood and kept the energy going all night. The music was so good we stayed much longer than planned just to enjoy it. Highly recommend for great food, drinks, and vibes.“

“Best Empanadas in the HISTORY of empanadas! #AyeDiosMio!“

“Date night with ex girlfriend“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Be sure to check out karaoke on Mondays. The karaoke system they use is Karafun. It has a wide selection of songs. The karaoke mics are a little faulty, meaning they will go in and out during your songs.
All the Bartenders are no-nonsense, so it does feel pretty strict, but I'd rather that bartenders who chat too much with their friends and always take smoke breaks...
Drinks are reasonably priced, and the alcohol pour is sometimes too weak.“

“I am visiting from the West Coast. I’m a wine judge and an advanced Somm.
My family drove around, looking for a place to eat, and my sister says let’s try that place and boy we were not disappointed. First off the hostess Olivia and her sister the server Alex were pleasant and professional. And the food was spot on. But What surprised me it’s a tight little wine less but very diverse. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Had an amazing time. The staff were super nice. Would definitely recommend and go back.“

“Great little place with amazing ambiance and delicious food. Can't wait to come back.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“The second time here... Very nice atmosphere, "real chill"... Very good music. People are kind.... And the girl who works here is so kind and polite. She is awsome. ❤️“

“Cute cocktail spot nestled in Ridgewood. We were poking around some of the stores nearby and then stopped in for a drink - though we didn’t try, the Monday Greek specials were a pretty good deal, and the cocktails we did order were both good! It’s a unique bar for the area and I’m interested to try the downstairs (bartender said it’s a music / event space) next time when it’s not 5pm on a Monday lol.“

“Through a connection, I met the owner and experienced her establishment's nice vibes. I visited for the Tuesday special, and her plant-based chicken tacos were really good, along with some drinks. I look forward to continuing to support her business.“

“Nice place, music was good but it was noted to be warm considering it is a roof-top lounge but it was cold and made my stay a little short. The cocktail drinks tasted more like cocktails, very little alcohol. I had 2 drinks and not even a buzz. Otherwise nice place for a hangout.“

“great music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶“

“Staff was very polite, friendly and the food was great and fresh. I highly recommend.“

“Had a great time, Santiago was amazing to us! My partner was looking to having the fried fish but once we arrived we realized it was not on the menu anymore. We ordered the NY strip which had great flavor! Will definitely be back for another date night as it had great music and ambiance. Thank you Santiago for being so amazing!“

“unos delos mejores restaurantes en la cuidad de long island la comida es espectacular con sabor criollo ..el ambiente muy familiar“

“Nay was everything, that girl knows her stuff when it comes to that restaurant! I had a little issue with my table( too out in the open for me) within 15 minutes she moved us and then we spent $450, I should have just stayed at the original table we wouldn't have spent that much lol. Atmosphere/music was littyyyy. Food delicious, drinks were good, but we did mostly SHOTS! Hookah was strong we loved it, and the staff was friendly. I will be back 4 sure.“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“

“excelente 👌 el servicio es de lo mejor la música la comida y el ambiente“

“food is amazing and cocktails even more so. highly recommend!“

“Excellent eatery on Atlantic Avenue. The owner is super friendly and very courteous. We are offered a free amuse-bouche starter of whipped ricotta on pita and it was fabulous. We got a few dishes of just tapas and a delicious salad. Will absolutely be my new go to restaurant. There was even live music that was another fabulous touch.“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“This is our favorite place. Live music, great food, incredible setting. Not to mention Russ and John run it perfectly.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“The cocktails are competently-ish made, if nothing spectacular, though it's nice to see the Jet Set theme continuing with both an Aviation and a Paper Plane on the menu. It's decidedly not a craft cocktail spot, though it definitely would be amazing if it were. It's a hotel bar. It's a hotel bar with hotel bar prices. But what a hotel. What a hotel!

Get a Martini. Enjoy the mother of all conversation pits. Watch the art on the big split-flap board.“

“The food is good and has been very consistent. The tortillas taste homemade and the salsa is great. I’ve ordered 3 times and I haven’t had any issues other than maybe forgetting my salsa one time. I really enjoyed the battered fried shrimp tacos a lot. Pricey but worth trying and giving a chance.“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“This was my first time at this particular restaurant. What I will tell everyone is the food was great as well as the service. I ordered the my sunshine burger (veggie) with the mixed fries (regular &sweet potatoes). Needless to say I was unable to eat the entire burger. Try this place for yourself.“

“Exceptional, truly exceptional service. The bartenders are Amazing!! They make every customer feel special, very personable and attentive to your needs. Food is delicious and thoughtfully made. Drinks…strong. A gem, I honestly can’t believe exists in the Bronx. Definitely recommend!“

“This is a wonderful, cozy place that truly impressed me with its attention to detail. From having phone chargers available to real hand towels in the restroom — everything feels thoughtfully done.

The staff is consistently attentive to every guest throughout the evening, even when the place is fully booked. You never feel rushed or overlooked.

Alan deserves a special mention — he made our evening unforgettable. It’s so clear when someone genuinely loves what they do, and that energy completely elevates the experience.

Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming place. We’ll definitely be back.“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“Last month we held a surprise birthday party for my daughter there and it was great! The staff was great, the drinks were amazing, and the manager was incredible. She was very accommodating and welcoming. Give her a raise!! I’ll definitely be back! Their double margaritas are LIFE!“
