“The absolute best, most authentic Latin food in NY! You want real, here it is and it’s the only place to get it. Literally everything is homemade by a mother and son team from the area. Empanadas… delicious, Chimi… delicious, Wings… got that secret Dominican sauce that only the owner has! A must eat!!!“
“We went for the first time today. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we stepped into the door. We were seated immediately as we arrived well past the lunch rush, but before dinner.We ordered a few different things and ALL were delicious.Appetizer: Beef Empanada- chopped up beef instead of ground beef was enrobed in a delicious pastry crust. It had great seasoning and the slice of lime cut through any sense of heaviness that sometimes accompanies beef with pastry.Appetizer: Alitas Acevichada- Oh my goodness. If you like fried chicken and like lime flavoring, this is a dish well worth trying. The friend chicken was beautifully fried, moist and tender. It had a delicious sauce that was drizzled over the chicken and also set aside on the serving plate as additional sauce. Really fantastic. The staff mentioned that the sauce was the same at the ceviche sauce - so really delicious.Main Meal: Arroz Chaufa Tres Sabores- Classic dish that every Peruvian restaurant should do well, and well they did. It was perfectly seasoned and the shrimp was NOT overcooked. I was really impressed with all the flavors which worked well together.Aji de Gallina: Amazing. As my husband said, "I don't even mind that it is made with breast meat. It's still very moist and tender." Really this is amazing. The yellow sauce was delicious and the chicken was mixed in with some potatotes, which helped make the dish just a little creamier.Bisteak al Pobre: The fried eggs were done beautifully sunny side up. The steak was served over fries, plantains, and white rice. Really, this is a staple dish which was excecuted well.Dessert: We took it to go. We were too full to eat any more. But, the Passion Fruit Mousse was delicious, and we are awaiting to eat the Alfajores. They look delicious.Parking: Parking is a little werid- it's found at the end of the shopping plaza, by the dry cleaners. Otherwise, thers is some street parking as well.“
“Food looks great for breakfast & lunch. We had breakfast which it was very good & tasty. There are different choices for lunch like carne guisada, pupusas, chicharron con yuca, empanadas, etc. coffee was strong & tasty .... The way we like it .Homefries, suny side up eggs, sausage & toast“
“Food was good. but hate that i am given one price and then charged a different price and then told the $6 extra dollars are for taxes. When I have bought food there before and the receipt shows the original price. Highly disappointed in how they try to get every dollar. Makes me not able to enjoy the food/experience when I have watch what they say and do. Plus was told the extra charge after we paid.“
“(Translated by Google) The owner gives excellent service, and the food is very good and fresh. It is not a car, nor cheap but it is worth it(Original)La duena da excelente servicio, y la comida esta muy buena y fresca. No es carro, ni barrato pero vale la pena“
“I really liked the sweet plantains but the churros were super small and came in the pieces but ice cream was large for no reason cause the churros were literally smaller than my fingers , I liked the the empanadas and the street corn a-lot , they’re were also kind enough to send some extra sauce that I asked for , they were super friendly on the phone .“
“Its a quaint clean establishment the staff is courteous the meals come in various sizes from small to large. when you walk in and see a very appetizing food display with a variety appetizing dishes it took me a minute to make up my mind I settled for the small beef stew w/rice and steam vegetables and the meal did not disappoint should have ordered the large meal. The beef was deliciously tender the vegetables weren't over cooked, white rice cooked to perfection. They also offer loyalty points.“

“First time here tonight. Didn’t have a reservation and was told we could only be at the table for 90 mins. Which was fine! But from sit to finish we were at the table 35 mins. We felt very rushed. Appetizer was super over cooked. Asked the server to remove an item from a dish but was told it was “pre made” and they were unable to remove it. Main meals were good and had nice flavor. I put my fork down for a minute and the server came over and asked if I was done. It was VERY loud inside. Decor was nice. Also gratuity is automatically added to your bill at 18%“
“This place has the best arepas in town plus excellent customer service and the place is very clean. I can keep going with all good things. Must try this place. The reina pepiada is delicious ? didn’t take pictures we were very hungry and excited to try this place for the first time.“
“I'm shocked this restaurant doesn't have more reviews! This is truly an authentic and underrated Peruvian spot on Long Island. This location was formerly known as The Inkan Restaurant & Pisco Bar, but it had closed some time in 2021. Latino Café & Bar replaced this location afterwards (different owners). They have Peruvian fare as well as some Latin American dishes. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided to order lunch from here today. For lunch, I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a Chicken Empanada on DoorDash. The food was piping hot when it arrived and tasted so fresh! The steak was nice and tender. All of the food was seasoned very well. I also loved the spicy green sauce that came with my empanada. The food was very reasonably priced as well. I'll definitely be giving more dishes a try from this place. I highly suggest you do the same :) *Note* This restaurant makes delivery orders only on DoorDash and Uber Eats. They do not make orders on GrubHub! My order on GrubHub had unexpectedly been cancelled, but when I called the restaurant, woman on the phone told me they don't offer GrubHub.“
