I recently ate here and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The warm ambiance and rustic decor created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal.Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the Spanish chicken. The menu boasted a variety of flavorful dishes, each showcasing the chef’s expertise in combining traditional Spanish flavors with a modern twist. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior that left my taste buds dancing.The appetizers were equally impressive, with options ranging from patatas bravas to chorizo croquettes. Each bite was a burst of Spanish authenticity. The chef’s commitment to using high-quality ingredients was evident, enhancing the overall dining experience.The drink menu featured a well-curated selection of Spanish wines and cocktails that complemented the meal superbly. The sangria, in particular, was a refreshing choice that added to the festive atmosphere of the restaurant.What truly stood out was the attention to detail in presentation. Each dish was a work of art on the plate, showcasing the chef’s dedication to not only taste but also aesthetics.As for the dessert, the churros were a delightful way to end the meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and accompanied by rich chocolate dipping sauce—a sweet ending to a savory journey.In summary, this Spanish chicken restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the inviting ambiance to the delectable dishes, every aspect of the dining experience was carefully crafted. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Spain with a modern flair. ¡Delicioso! Highly recommend

I kind of liked the booth setup that Casa Clema had before the renovations they did, but the food, service, and atmosphere are still great.

Open early for breakfast. I got “mangú con los cuatro golpes” (mashed green plantains with a fried egg, fried salami, cheese and longaniza) and a passion fruit juice. Everything was DELICIOUS! The mangú was nice and smooth. Buttery but not salty. The egg was cooked exactly how I requested it (they ask if you want it hard, medium or soft). They were cheap with the onions but I love a ton so take that with a grain of salt ? The juice was amazing. They didn’t fill my cup with ice like many places do and it tasted great. Friendly service and very efficient. Watched them serve many delivery people picking up food and they handled them and the people ordering in person very well. Would definitely go back.

The worst! Ordered pancakes and they were burnt on one side they placed the side that wasn’t burnt on top so I wouldn’t recognize! Very disappointed and I would not be going back there! Went there not for a refund but to make them aware that they were selling burnt food the lady pretended she didn’t know English! I knew damn well she knew English because she served me in English! Please check your food before leaving out that restaurant. They are slick!

I usually get the rotisserie chicken. The seasoning used is MUY DELISIOSO!!!!!!!. FYI I have actually eaten half in one sitting..lol. The establishment is extremely clean , ie.the front glass counters, floors swept always, trays containing various foods, as well as the front window ( which displays several different foods ) including the front glass door are always kept clean, everytime that I have visited. They also have a few small tables which present an intimate atmosphere in my opinion; and there is music playing continuously. The staff is very friendly and greets each and every customer with a smile!!! Their menu is Spanish cuisine and there is a large variety, eg. Carne Asada, barbecue ribs, pork roasts, ect. The rice is always fresh and includes white,yellow, and arroz con gandules. Although I have not tasted all dishes, the place is always full of customers. You can call your orders ahead but they don't deliver. Don't let that stop you from patronizing this place or you will surely be missing out on a wonderful culinary experience. ?? oops forgot to mention : all major credit cards accepted...delivery IS available thru Uber eats and GRUBHUB....ADDITIONALLY , a large varied breakfast is served as well as soups and sandwiches ( many,many choices) yum!!!! Dont forget to pick up a salad and definitely try the Seafood menu. Enjoy!!

Doesn't look like much but the egg and cheese on a roll (breakfast sandwhich , $4) was excellent (maybe a little too salty). Service was super freindly - we appreciated the very welcoming smile on the woman who took out order. Slow service on it was a Sunday morning - we were not in a hurry so it was fine. We ate in, and enjoyed the vibe, and the soccer game on TV. Random friendly guy at the next table translated for me (I don't speak much Spanish and the server didn't speak much English). Had a terrific visit to Roberto Clemente State Park just down the hill from here. I love NYC.
