Bucha And Belly ..

The bright neon lights and music of this venue are sure to attract, especially those stumbling out into the cold streets of Brooklyn post comedy shows. Beare liked the spaciousness of the venue and its high-ceilings. We had a good time scrutinizing the DJ's state of mind and photoshopped flyer choice. Beare ordered the empanadas which she thought were too heavy. Belly had the steak with parm mash potatoes which ended up being a highlight. We also ordered the Mo'jito Mo'problems. Belly asked that Beare's Mo'jito had extra agave and they delivered.

Went with my boyfriend last night. Food was very good, drinks also, our waitress Valentina was a sweetheart! The only thing I didn't like was that we felt rushed because it turns into a club we were told when we walked in. I feel they should not put tables on the dance floor than. Other than that it was reasonably priced and music was very good. I would go back but not sit at tables on the dance floor.

$20 dollars to get in??Decided to go to this place for a friends birthday last night before 11pm and I was with a group (6). They were charging $20 pp…I have to pay to go in to this restaurant/lounge and buy drinks!?!! No thank you. The music was good was tempted to go but just an fyi because I wish I knew before I trooped it over there.

Made a reservation for Brunch on the weekend, did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The brunch menu was yummy & perfect for the price including the unlimited mimosas / sangria. The service was amazing , with them being on top of refilling our mimosas along with the food coming out quick & hot! Atmosphere was fun & great for birthdays or for a good time! Already recommended others to come here if they want a good & fun brunch! Would recommend to taxi here , parking is not the best!

A good time can always be had at this establishment. The vibe is entertaining, energetic and loud. I’ve been here plenty of times to celebrate birthdays and just for fun with my girls. The dj’s are great. The staff is sweet and approachable. They have a mechanical bull setup at certain events. I’ve been thrown off even though I tried to hold on for dear life.If you’re going to eat I recommend the dinner menu 100 times over the brunch menu. My fav dish is the red snapper with plantain and shrimp in a garlic sauce. The brunch menu was $50 for 90 minutes of unlimited mimosa or sangria carafe, an appetizer and an entree. I’m not a fan of the entree selection. We didn’t want to do the unlimited drinks but our waitress told us it was $50 regardless and we could have juice instead of the bottomless mimosa/sangria options. We opted for the sangria. It was watered down yet too sweet. My fav drink is the jalapeño ginger margarita which is half price during happy hour or $17 on the regular menu.Don’t order the churros on the desert menu, they taste like pure oil.Expect to wear a Mariachi hat, take a complimentary shot and be the center of attention if it’s your birthday, after all why else would you pick this place?

Nice place offering good food & drinks. Happy hour even on a Friday, but gotta sit at the bar or go to bar to order from surrounding tables. DJ came around 8 and played a nice mix of music. Buffalo wings were pretty good and so was the mango margarita. Lava cake tasted like flour and I sent it back. It looked pretty though ? Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would go back.Parking: Parking isn't so plentiful, but I found a spot 1 block down

I would give this place 4 stars but their drinks are way too expensive and we put $60 down as a deposit before we got there. We were told the deposit will go to our bill if everyone showed up. We have screenshots of that disclaimer. The next day we looked and realized that did not happen it felt like they were banking we would get too drunk to notice. In fact, we were not drunk but we were being rushed out so they could convert our table to the dance area. We have called the restaurant for over 3 weeks to solve the situation yet no one answers. They also charge a convenience fee for who knows what on top of tax and tip. This place is just full of dishonest thieving tricks to make more money. We won’t come back for dinner and tell everyone for drink and music it’s fine but don’t do a celebration there the check and all the fees and secrecy take away from the special day.

Went for a birthday brunch yesterday and the service was terrible. We got there for a 90 minute brunch and we got there way before the time reserved (we all had to leave a $10 reserve deposit for the brunch and it came up to $70 for the 7 people that attended ), and waited over an hour for a spot to sit. They kept bouncing us to corner spots with a small table and the amount of people we were with was 7. We were placed in the corner in the back and it took forever for food to come and when it did it was cold. The waitress was very rude and slammed a lot of the plates on the table. We were supposed to be seated at a regular table but it was given to a family of someone that works at the establishment. Definitely will not be going back.
