Maite is a restaurant with an ambiance that exudes a local, vibrant energy and feels like a hidden gem. The waitstaff is attentive but laid back, creating a charming and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant offers delicious dishes with high-quality ingredients, such as the squid ink burrata cooked in pork fat, the rotating empanaditas, the sloppy burger, and the fatty pork belly with crunchy chicharron. The menu is simple, written on a huge chalkboard by the open kitchen, with staples and rotating specials. Don’t miss the chocolate cake or the basque cheesecake for dessert. The cocktails and French fries are standout favorites. While the prices are on the higher side, the unique Basque-inspired South American cuisine, sex-positive decor, and enjoyable atmosphere make it a worthwhile dining experience, especially for those who appreciate the LGBTQ+ community. The vibe is funky in a good way, and all are welcome—no snotty Bushwick thing here.
