“Went on a friday evening in which Flamenco was playing we made reservations and was seated promptly. Nice decor and vibrant restaurant located in the Best Western hotel. We got the prefix meal and a bottle of wine. Everything was excellent starting with service and following with the food. Entertainment was also on point we had a harpist to beging the evening followed by flamenco couple accompanied by live singer and musician. I enjoyed my evening and appreciated have a cultured dinner close to my home. The maitre d Juan Giovanni always checked upon us to make sure we were okay. Definitely a hidden gem in Queens.“

“Peeps are gonna get mad.
There is only one truly Spanish - Spanish-owned and Spanish-prepared restaurant in Westchester. Anyone who is Spanish or has lived in Spain knows this.
Tentempie Madrid in Mamaroneck. 🫒
It is strictly a tapas place. Not a tapas bar, because there is no bar seating. They asked me over the phone if they needed to explain what a tapas place is. I answered that I had lived in Spain? Hoping that would satisfy her. I don’t think it did.
If you are craving tortilla, chorizos, aceitunas, gambas al ajillo and croquetas as you would have them for 800 years in Spain, pay them a visit.
There are rules.
Always make a reservation. They will turn you away even if the place looks empty. They have a plan. The place is small and I think it is only the owner up front most of the time. I called at 1pm. They open at 6pm.
The crowd was all non-Spaniards because I don’t think we have too many round these parts and they prob make these dishes at home blind folded. I am Colombian. Having been colonized by Spain made me the most Spanish person in the room besides the owner. 😬
It isn’t a young place to go get your flirt on. There is no vibe. That’s ok because I was there strictly for the tapas, cava and fino.
It is really cute though. There are fun and whimsical details throughout. I cannot believe that I forgot to take a bathroom pic. it was teeny, but adorably appointed.
The only thing that I had NEVER seen in Spain was the sidra served this way (Spanish bitter hard apple cider) served with seltzer, ice and fruit. When I gently inquired about it, he basically gave me a shrug that said… nobody here would drink it straight. He is probably right. I’ll have to travel to Asturias with my dinner companions to share that experience.
We didn’t try the whole menu. I named the dishes that we tried and I feel they nailed.
The prices were nostalgically affordable.
They are not on any “redes sociales” as per the person who took my res. Meaning, NO Instagram or FB for them. This place is like a time capsule from the early 90’s.
You will not feel like you are in Spain. You will definitely feel like you are in Mamaroneck, but if you close your eyes while taking a bite of chorizo and a sip of fino, you might get a waft of cigarettes and hear old men arguing about politics.
(Lastly… those other restaurants that you will argue are Spanish, but aren’t, ARE yummy.)
The gambas al ajillo! Our favorite tapa of the night. 🍤

“This place is like a hidden gem. Their food is fresh and reminds you of homemade cooking. The restaurant has hot food on display and food to order to go/eating in. They serve Central American food. I would recommend this place to others. My favorite is their tamales de pollo, so good!“

“I was referred here by my friend who buys food from here often and shared and it's always delicious. My husband and I come from long island as often as we can now because we have never been disappointed with all the food we bought. Staff and owners are wonderful and very welcoming and grateful for our patronage which we love. The portions are great and pleasantly pleased that they include plantains. My absolute favorite is the beef stew, always mouth watering and tender. We will continue to return. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

“Great Food, exceptional service and margaritas to die for! Our group of four has been dying to find a good Mexican restaurant (we have tried many)and 5 De Mayo did not disappoint. From our server, to our "Guacamole Girl" to the owner Roberto who came to our table to check in and offer dessert and/or a shot (free of charge), we could not have found a better hidden gem. We will not have to try another Mexican Restaurant as long as 5 De Mayo is around!“

“I have been at least 5 times. I love eatting rice, salad, beans, and plantains. I have only had the buffet. The food is good and they arrange it nice on a plate and bring it to your table. Many of the employees don't speak English, but we both try really hard and end up at the right place. My boyfriend says "i don't know what they do to the pork, but it is one of the best I have ever tasted."“

“Exactly what I was looking for. I was working out on the island and just googled a local deli to stop in at on my way home, and I lucked out so much. This place is way better than your standard deli, maybe a dozen hot and delicious steam tray options that all sound delicious, I personally went with the oxtail. Food was so tasty especially with their house made hot sauce, and at a very fair price. The fellas behind the counter were also very kind and good talking to. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area.“
