“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“I went to Tozton today to celebrate my birthday after seeing an ad on Tiktok and it was definitely a great decision.

The food was delicious, the sautéed loin, the green noodles, the pavilion, the ground beef cakes and the shredded meat cakes. Natural juices, drinks like margaritas and mojitos; on point, ten out of ten.

The attention of all the waitresses was excellent, they even decorated my table with balloons. Thank you Emily and Natalia for your impeccable service.

It was also easy to find parking near the restaurant. It is very spacious and tables can be organized for large birthday celebrations.

Totally recommended in Astoria.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the tequeños, a cachapa, an empanada, an arepa and a pan. Authentic Venezuelan. The service was also phenomenal. Go there!

“After surfing through a few results that had mixed reviews, I landed on this spot in Williamsburg. Solid amount of stars and reviews (you can also tell a lot about a place that has a nice website, duh) intrigued me so I clicked through. Sorted through the photos of the food and they definitely had the steak I was looking for but I needed to confirm a few other things - do they require reservations? When are they serving dinner? Is this place a hole-in-the-wall (I don't mind holes-in-the-wall, just wasn't what I was looking that afternoon)? I double check their Yelp page and the site and I was glad to see that no reservations are required and dinner was starting at 5 - cocktails and empanadas were available until 5 came around. They have a nice dining room/bar area with a nice little dining area in the back, and also outdoors in the front. I wanted to be inside that day considering the high temps due to the humidity.

I finally get to the spot, and I say finally because I had to go back to 14th St Manhattan and connect from there to get to Williamsburg, 23 mins before they start to serve dinner. When I walked in I felt a very intimate yet lively latin vibe - it was dimly lit and there was good music being played at a comfortable volume. I don't like it when I'm dining out and the server and I have to compete over the music to hear each other so these guys definitely had it right. I would definitely bring a date here. I was greeted by the bartender and let him know I wanted to grab a solo seat for dinner. He asked if I had a reservation, which I thought was a little odd and led me to believe Yelp and the website wasn't up-to-date but when I replied no, he said it was no issue. He told me to grab a seat anywhere I liked so I sat at the bar and he advised me that they won't start serving dinner until 5 o'clock as I mentioned previously. After I got myself situated, I excused myself to the bathroom to wash up. I took note of the back dining area which was really nice. The bathroom was clean and it looks like they take care of it on the regular so those are more points in my book. I got back to my seat and the bartender pours me a glass of water and leaves a bottle at the table. I should've asked if they had sparkling and opted for that. The tap-water is just way too warm, but it was what it was. I didn't opt for any other drinks, considering I don't drink sodas or alcohol. Bartender handed me a menu which confused me for a bit because it seemed like it was drink menu - it was smaller than size than a normal menu. I'm browsing through and noticed at the bottom of the menu, besides their wifi network and password, they only take cash and American Express. Odd but maybe that's a NY restaurant thing? I double-checked that with the bartender and he said they have an ATM in the back in case I needed it. Turns out I had enough cash on hand and continue looking over the menu. I get to the entrees and I find the Churrasco and I let the bartender I wanted that medium. I should've asked him if they could throw an over-easy egg on top.

About 15-20 minutes later, one of the BEST steaks I ever had was served. The presentation was amazing! The steak was cooked to perfection - nice and tender and the color was just right. It came with a side of chimichurri which unlike other ones I've had, wasn't too salty. As you can see in the photo I took, the steak also came with a side of greens and these potatoes that were like no other, crispy on the outside and perfectly baked on the inside.

All-in-all I would definitely come back to Tabaré and I'm willing to bet everything else on their menu is just as out-of-this-world as this steak!“

“Excelente sazón y CONSISTENCIA en la misma quizás uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida ecuatoriana en los últimos 3 años en la ciudad de New York . Lugar muy limpio, espacioso , baños impecables, amplio estacionamiento y el sabor de la comida es realmente auténtico , lo único q podría mejorar es la atención un poco caótica y desorganizada pero en general todos los meseros son amables, vayan por ahí no se arrepentirán!“

“fantastic food, but horrible service. AND they force an 18% gratuity on all parties“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“I’ve been to Mojo multiple times and have never been disappointed by the food, vibes, and service. Tonight we went there for my sister’s birthday and our server, Melissa was phenomenal. She was extremely kind, attentive, and charismatic. When I didn’t realize I left my jacket on the floor, she picked it up and put it on my chair and my sister left her headphones as we were leaving and she went outside to give them to her. She is the best! Next time I come I’ll be sure to ask for her!“

“Pasamos una despedida de año espectacular los meseros muy atentos los tragos muy buenos la atención en si muy recomendada aparte la comida deliciosa 👍“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“I had lunch there a couple of weeks ago. The food is really very tasty and has a typically Paraguayan flavor. I don't know how they do it but they do it. I returned the next day to bring some typical and gluten-free products, as well as empanadas. 10 out of 10. It is easily accessible, as it is halfway between Manhattan and Flushing on subway line 7, at the 46th Street-Bliss stop, and from there no more than 300 meters along Greenpoint Av.
The place is cozy and well decorated, and the service is excellent. The icing on the cake is that they now offer very good craft beer from their own brand.

“We loved the decor, the ambiance, the dishes of food were all amazing, and best of all was our server Alma. She was a 10 out of 10.“

“A Must-Visit Latin Fusion Experience!

From the moment you walk into Arriba Latin Fusion, you’re greeted with a warm, homely atmosphere that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service is top-notch—kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest.

Now, let’s talk about the food—simply amazing! Each dish bursts with authentic flavors and creative twists. The Truffle Yuca Fries are crispy perfection, with the earthy aroma of truffle taking them to the next level. The Chicharron Picado is a flavor explosion, rich and perfectly seasoned. And those Ropa Vieja Sliders? Absolutely divine, combining tender, savory beef with the perfect soft bun.

The entrées are just as impressive. The Ropa Vieja is tender and packed with flavor, a true homage to this classic dish. The Arroz con Pollo is comforting and full of rich spices, and the Salmon a la Brasa is grilled to perfection—moist, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

To top it off, the desserts are a sweet finale. The Flan is silky smooth with a delightful caramel glaze, while the Tres Leches cake is moist, decadent, and absolutely irresistible.

And don’t even get me started on the drinks—they are on point! Perfectly crafted to complement the food, they elevate the entire dining experience.

Arriba Latin Fusion is more than just a meal; it’s a culinary journey. I can't recommend it enough!“

“Nice place my daughter finally convinced me to dine at will return didn’t disappoint“

“Up and coming spot with great bartending service. Haven’t tried the food yet but def will be coming back to eat. The vibe is dope, the owner is a nice guy and is always present. Has a lot of TVs for a restaurant, great date spot or place to watch sports.“

“Great authentic cuisine that brings a little bit of Bolivia to the United States. The saltenas are absolutely amazing. The shell was cooked to perfection while the inside was a treat of flavors that was heavenly. The Silpancho had such great flavor. So authentic with the Carne lightly breaded and seasoned with the flavorful Zarza and a beet, carrot and vegetable salsa that complimented the egg and potato. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to experience a little part of Bolivia here in Queens, New York.“

“Love this place for a nice dinner. It’s great for a dinner date or even with family. The drinks are great. I love their blue lemonade. You can’t go wrong with any of them! The service and food are delicious. I usually have their cheese mofongo. Niurka is the best hostess. She’s very attentive. They even had a live band when I went tonight.“

“Came for brunch. The hostess was welcoming and pleasant. The decor on the ground floor is cute; downstairs as well. Both floors have a bar, but downstairs is smaller. Justin is the bartender downstairs he was very nice and pleasant; as was our server, he was attentive. The dj was on point. There's no dj on the ground floor. Food came out cold. We had the tower on a pulsd, and it was ok. The rum punch was good, but a little too sweet and red sangria was good as well. The vibe was good, and I would recommend it.“

“Uno de los mejores restaurantes Ecuatorianos en NY! Ofrecen una gran variedad de platos súper deliciosos que representan Guayaquil. 10/10 ⭐️“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment and the experience was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely exceptional, each dish bursting with flavor and well prepared. The service was top-notch as well - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I ordered a Cosmo and my friend ordered the old fashioned. The bartender did an excellent job and both drinks were delicious!

However, the ambiance left something to be desired. The decor felt a bit outdated and could use some modernization to match the quality of the cuisine and service. With a revamp in the ambiance department, this place could easily become a five-star dining destination. Overall, a great spot for a delicious meal with fantastic service, but with room for improvement in the atmosphere.“

“We ordered menu
Day and we tried 3 options! Stewed liver, stewed chicken and grilled chicken and we really liked it a lot! The divine beans, the ripe ones and the chicken soup, not to mention! Very affordable price and good service!! We also ordered bonus bread and the cheese ball, both DIVINE 10/10.. we ordered some meat, chicken and cheese empanadas, but I'll stick with the bonus bread 🤭!! The spicy sauce (be careful) is very spicy, but tasty!! The divine juices, it's special soursop and blackberry!!
I went with my service dog and there were no problems and I liked it because where I am well received with him I am happy and if the place is that tasty even more so! Thank you we will return ☺️☺️“

“For a small deli, my goodness, they can put out some of the best and delicious food in Woodside. I picked up pernil from them and that was a delight!!!“

“Amazing place I’ve been eating there for 11 years!! Their staff is ever so kind to everyone. Food is affordable and delicious. The restaurant is in a good location near tons of apartments so it’s good to order food and good to go down there and dine!! 110% recommend food is fresh and cultural.kid friendly towards being treated and also with the food portions

Kid-friendliness: I’ve went there when I was really little not once have I ever gotten food I haven’t loved I used to go in there confident in what I wanted to get and the portions were just small enough for me to eat with barley and left overs“

“He tenido la oportunidad de ir varias veces, la verdad la comida es deliciosa, la atención es excelente, muy buen servicio, el sitio muy familiar, todo muy limpio, la comida llega rápido, solo algo que me ha parecido incomodo es que había un chico cantando y lo hace muy bien pero el sonido era demasiado alto no se podía hablar con las personas que estábamos compartiendo, el lugar lleno y el volumen muy alto parecía una discoteca donde toca hablar o mejor gritar para escuchar al que está sentado al lado y las veces que he asistido es igual así no haya alguien cantando, me parece que uno desea compartir un almuerzo o cena con tranquilidad donde pueda disfrutar sin tanto ruido, pero recomendado 💯x💯deben visitarlo se sentirán como en casa.“
