Spanish Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Great setting, creative and sensual cuisine, great wine list.“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“My cousin just had her wedding here and all I can say is FANTASTIC! The staff AMAZING! That lavender drink wow. Everything about my moon was great. Really the staff was so wonderful. Loved the tapas choices, highly recommend a a less formal wedding choice so much fun.“

“I went to El Pingüino about two weeks ago and absolutely loved that they offer happy hour seven days a week and it’s becoming a routine for us!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.

Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

And they have really great basque cheesecake!

The overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing, making it a great spot to unwind after work or grab a late-night drink.

If you’re in Greenpoint and love oysters, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“The food here makes me want to come back tomorrow. Their food quality is noteworthy. Exceptionally hospitable adaptable bright friendly team showing zero pretension. You know immediately they use good ingredients. I'll make it a point to eat here again.“

“I’ve had dinner here the past two birthdays and I’ve enjoyed the food immensely both times. I love that you get two distinct dining choices here that you can mix and match. The skirt steak especially was delicious with the pork bun being a favorite appetizer of mine. I’ve enjoyed this place every time I’ve come here and I strongly recommend it.“

“My experience at Bridge Coffee Shop was absolutely fantastic!

The coffee quality is exceptional, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Highly recommended for a great cup and a comfortable spot to relax or work.“

“This was our 1st visit to Mr Fire. We loved the way the place was decorated, plenty of space at tables, booths and bar. Great art and very clean. It was early Sunday afternoon, there was a buffet for $49.99 per person or you could order off the menu which we chose to do . There was a dj, DJ Joseph Loveras, who played the best music and had us dancing in our seats!!! He really made our visit so much fun!
Now the food, we started with Beef Nachos which we gave a 5 out of 10. The meat was mushy, there were no toppings except meat, cheese and quac. We asked for sour cream but it was spoiled. Caesar salad was ok but the chicken was bland and dry, the oxtail was just ok.
Service was ok. Our server was nice but I think she may also have been the bartender so her attention was split and it was more of a drop and go.
Gratuity is already figured into your check which I almost didn't see. I live in a different state so that is usually only for parties of 6 or more here but it's fine. There is also a 4% charge for using a card which I'm not crazy about.“

“Lovely place. We got the 5-course prix fixe, which let us sample lots of different dishes. Everything was interesting and delicious. The staff was so lovely, personable and warm. I won't lie, in these days of hard budgets, this will be a splurge for many (we went with the help of a gift card!). With tip, it came to about $250...that's a lot for two people. Was it worth it? Yes!! But is that kind of expenditure hard for many right now? Also yes. Still, I am so glad we went, and I am thankful to the staff for the great food and service. This place is terrific for a special occasion.“

“This place is great: delicious, home-cooked style food, generous portions, it's one of the few places in the area that's affordable AND fills you up. Not fancy but not trying to be, if you're looking for meals in the area on the regular THIS is the place.“

“I enjoy the veggie quesadilla’s I highly recommended Amor Latino drink.“

“So glad that Sanchos is back! A must go to when in bay ridge for spanish food done right!“

“Usuluteco is another hole in the wall restaurant in Brooklyn where if you drive by too fast you would never see it . Let face it the abundance of traffic parked cars it new York but again I wasn't awhere they were on Google or else I would have taken more pictures the entrance is simple enough I know it winter but I would recommend palms ? at entrance when you get inside it pretty basic but they do have some Spanish song playing on bluer tooth to give it a little ambience tables are chairs are simple .the service was great was greeted as soon as I walked in I like that I went with some friends our waitress/ server attended to us immediately I had the pork chops and a coke it came with rice and peppers I was unsure but it tasted amazing ? and the rice was perfectly cook not a burn grain in site . Food preparation was good Instead of dumping porkchops ? on plate they added a Hugh piece of lettuce then putting the pork chops on top give it some color and style the pork chops were tender not tough (surprise surprise) well seasoned, for some reason when spanish restaurants cook pork chops thry feel the need to dry them out leaving the meat vey tough and hard to chew not at usuluteco they went a different direction , and the rice came out of bowl it gave a mound shape on the plate very traditional an old style that i see is now coming back well put together . These simple touches makes a big difference in customers coming back I would definitely go back and must stop by spot in Brooklyn..

Parking: It Brooklyn double park if possible but know guarantee“

“(Translated by Google) Very good food but the only bad thing is that it is a bit late but the food is very tasty and they serve you well(Original)Muy buena comida pero lo único malo que es un poco tardado pero la comida muy rica y lo atienden bien“

“I've had consistent great quality food from this establishment every time I've visited. Staff is friendly, greets you immediately, and always taking their time to make sure your order is taken correctly. The women here are stunning as well?... they never skimp on their portions, and the quality of the food is always on point. I like the fact that the food is on display, and you can see the food being prepared right in front of you. The atmosphere is very clean, very inviting and has a sense of a home feeling in the sitting area. Did i mention the women are stunning?. Unfortunately i haven't gotten any pics yet, but my next visit I'll make sure to ask if i can take some first, (Brooklyn people just dont like you taking pics of them)...lol but I'd highly recomend you, or the whole family visiting this restaurant for a great experience, and some great food... ohh and did i forget to mention the women here are stunning!!! Thank you El Paraso for continuing your quality service to the community!!! People go here, not there one across the street!!!!“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“this is the spot you wanna come to when you’re fixing for some real home cooking style where you’re vibing in an abuelas crib. the soup was delicate and divine. reminded me of childhood. and the rice and beans were just stellar. very cheap. worth coming back to often“

“This was another happy discovery, and a nice place to stop in for old-fashioned Spanish comfort food. My favorite dish from here is the garlic chicken with rice and beans, as well as the fresh juices. One can make a dish off of the snack foods and smaller dishes by themselves; the standard rice platter that came with the aforementioned chicken lasted me for a few days, there was so much. They also have a wide variety of breakfast dishes and don't mind customizing them as needed.“

“I love this place but on Uber eats nah, they will not do your food for Uber eats after 8:00 and if you feel like walking to the spot and you’re close by excellent service but don’t order food after 8:00-8:15 they will definitely cancel your order!“

“Great little local restaurant. Was staying in Brooklyn for a bit and there’s nothing like these type of spots. Great home cooked type food! Came here twice, once for some quick empanadas for breakfast and the other for lunch. Rotisserie chicken, rice, beans and vegetables for $20(USD). Great price, great portion, great food & great people.“

“I have gotten food to-go from here a few times and every time is has been delicious, generous servings. The spaghetti is reliably very good. I’ve had the grilled chicken and the beef stew over rice and beans, both very flavorful. I haven’t dined in hit the women who work there have been friendly during every visit.“

“The beans and rice with the jerk chicken is phenomenal. My husband and I drive all the way down from Long island just for this delicious meal. The owner is a kind and great person. Definitely going back when I am feeling for amazing soul food“

“Absolutely delicious food & great service! We come from Smithtown Long Island and it’s worth the trip every time never disappoints!“

“My wife and I just happened to randomly walk past this place, saw the food from the window that looked really good, and took a chance. Really glad we did because the service was great and the food was amazing for a really budget friendly price. Wish I had pictures but we were so hungry and started digging in. Would definitely recommend.“

“I always come here to get my food because the quality is amazing . The workers are very friendly specially Lucky ! and welcoming as well. I always get my food for takeout but I do see a lot of people eating inside, meaning they feel comfortable being here and enjoy the food as well.“

“Best Breakfast & Brunch Spot in NYC — Period. When you factor in price, flavor, and quality. There’s simply no other spot that beats it.

What makes this place unique is that it’s not your typical all-American brunch, which for me can sometimes be on the bland side. Here, you’re getting a true Dominican-American breakfast and brunch experience — sazon, flavor, and soul in every bite. If you enjoy savoring your food, this is a match made in heaven.

Their mangú is smooth, creamy, and comforting — not the stiff, heavy version you often get elsewhere. I ordered the tres golpe and my girlfriend had the dos golpe with pechurrinas (Dominican chicken tenders). The chicken was crisp to perfection, seasoned beautifully, and mixing it with the mangú is next-level. To finish, I ordered a papaya milkshake that was amazing — rich, refreshing, and the perfect balance.

The flavor here is what sets them apart. If you’re Latino, or if you just love food with seasoning and depth, this is the spot. Too many brunch places in the city are bland — here, every bite has sabor.

On top of that, the service is excellent. Our server Jeanette was attentive, funny, and welcoming — exactly the kind of energy you want when you’re hungry.

And let’s talk about price. In 2025, when everything feels overpriced, this spot is a blessing. Most dishes are $5–$10, nothing over $25, and the quality is unmatched even compared to restaurants charging triple. You get your money’s worth every time.

The only downside is they’re not open for dinner — but for breakfast and brunch, Cafeteria Brooklyn is unbeatable. If you want food that’s flavorful, affordable, and satisfying, this is where you need to be. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Perfect roasted chicken for your entire family. They have family combos of whole roasted chicken, rice, beans, sweet plantains and avocado salad perfect for family of four.“

“We ordered the burrito and enchiladas from the lunch special. The enchiladas, which had pork and green sauce, were well-cooked and flavorful. However, the steak burrito was a bit dry, and the meat was tough, though the guac and salsa on the side were tasty. It’s a cute spot, and the music adds a fun vibe.“

“The cuisine is here phenomenal!!!“

“A small and cozy restaurant to find Ecuadorian food with good portions. They have lunch specials which are offered in buffet style, and vary in options over the days of the week. It helps to speak some Spanish to communicate better. It is also important to bring cash, as it is the only accepted payment method.“

“I went here for the first time recently to try their Birria tacos and I was not disappointed at all. They’re the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and cheesy. I also saw they had Mac and cheese so I tried a little cup of it (pictured) and the Mac and cheese was perfect to go along with it. The sauce wasn’t too thick or liquidy. Would 10/10 recommend this place to a friend, and would 20/10 come here after my undergrad is finished up.“

“I can't believe I almost walked past this amazing place. This spot creates the perfect feel. The service speed impressed us. They're inconsistent with warmth but consistent with service. This restaurant exceeded expectations and I can't wait to return!“

“Oh, this place has delicious Dominican food! They season their food just right, not too salty or too bland. My friend and I always come here because the food is amazing and it doesn't upset their stomach. We're both addicted, I might go there later today..“

“The overall experience ensures I'll make this a regular stop in my dining schedule. Staff answers curiosities about ingredients happily. I'll be back if I'm in this part of town. Portal Latino serves food at its prime moment. This restaurant exceeded all my hopes.“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“Guys so first of all I googled this place I went of your reviews thank you and it did its job it was delightful the rice nice and fluffy well done the beans smelled like grandma had just made them the baked chicken was good and a side of salad“

“It’s a Latin food , basically Domican !! Restaurant, food is good , served with a big portion, I always afraid about the portions but after you staring eating the plate is getting Less and less delicious food , I really recommend this place if you’re looking to spend some family time while enjoying an good meal .“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor, me encanta su sabor y sus diseños, únicos!“

“I visited El Ambiente Restaurant and Lounge on 4/14/24 for Latin Karaoke. We enjoyed our visit very much. The ambience is family oriented, nice decor, food and service was excellent, affordable, I highly recommend. I also found parking on the corner, which was convenient. Will definitely return to Eddie’s karaoke night!? My type of vibe!“

“It is my favorite place, I love it ? the service, the excellent food and the employees treat you as if you were family ? may the Lord Jesus bless you greatly.

Kid-friendliness: You can go with children ? it is an excellent place.“

“My favorite place to get food in Crown Heights. Perfect flan. I haven’t had anything off their grill because I go for the steaming buffet that’s by the window. You can see the steam rising off the meats from the sidewalk, and smell it too. Right away you know it’s gonna be good. I’ve had the ribs, roast pork, and beef stew, but my favorite is the baked chicken. Try it over the mangu. Nice staff. Good price. :)“

“For good spanish food on the go Jenny 2 restaurant is awesome and these are the reasons. The food is not salty at all very tasty. One can taste all other condiments, not overbearing well manged in taste.Their seafood doesn't taste fishy at all. Their price went up just like everything else in live but Jenny 2, the restaurant the food is worth every penny, awesome food made by Dominicans.

Kid-friendliness: The ladies and men who serve the food are very kind and pleasant, and they don't take a year to serve one.“

“todos los días él servicio y la comida“

“It's tastey food...only thing was the one day I went it seems only 2 of their steamtable items were "fresh" the Rice with beans " aka "Morro"..and the chicken sauteed with veggies which I enjoyed with a side plate of Avocado slices“

“I went there after my workout and let me tell you their Pollo al Horno is amazing! I dont think there is any other place in brooklyn that offers this flavor. They also gave me this yellowish garlic sauce. You should try it. Their customer service was ok. Worth the price!“

“The food is fantastic ! Order the beef stew with yellow rice and beans. The place is always busy“
