Karen es muy amable, siempre atendiendo con una sonrisa y con un gran entusiasmo. Gracias por su excelente servicio al publicó!!“

“I've been getting food from here for over 6 years and it's easily one of the best places to get empanadas!
They are very generous with the proteins, the empanadas are fully stuffed, and delicious. They have about 50 different options to choose from and they do not disappoint. All the sauces are really good as well.“

“Taste just like my Argentinian friend cooked it!) 💛💛💛 Great stuff“

“Absolutely love this coffee shop. The vibe is always great, the coffee is consistently amazing, and the people make it even better. Huge shoutout to Nick and Jay for being some of the nicest and most welcoming people around. They always bring such good energy and make every visit better. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and the experience probably the most fired interaction Ive ever had ordering coffee. Easily one of my favorite spots“

“Love this place! The coffee is delicious, with unique options you don’t find everywhere. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the team is incredibly friendly.

Debra was especially helpful in recommending coffee beans,
and so kind!
Highly recommend this place!“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely cared for. This was my first time visiting, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what truly stood out was the level of attention and thoughtfulness we received. Being noticed and having the spelling of my name acknowledged made me feel seen and valued as a guest.

Ariana deserves special recognition—she went above and beyond by customizing both coquito lattes to accommodate my sister’s and my health issues, *without sacrificing flavor at all*. They were hands-down some of the best drinks we’ve had. Her knowledge, care, and exceptional customer service made this experience unforgettable. If anyone deserves a promotion, it’s Ariana!

Will be coming back my next visit to the city“

“Very nice place! Their espresso comes in a wooden cup, and they have the unique offering of rum-infused coffee beans. I found this espresso shot a little under-extracted and sour, but the fragrance and tactile wooden cup enhanced the experience.“

“My latte. Wow. Amazing. And the ladies were so sweet too!“

“Best Empanadas I've had! Great black owned business in NY, Everyone at my job loves this place“

“So this was my first time trying empanadas and the first time I ordered I got a chicken and cheese empanada, sweet chili shrimp, empanada, and chipotle chicken empanada I believe was the third one and this is my 5th love this place quick, especially with their delicious chipotle mayo sauce❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“It’s because of Brahim, the incredible food, drinks, and ambiance that I’m happy to give five stars. Even though my friend and I waited 15 minutes before we finally flagged a server to come to our table, it was so quickly made up by Brahim’s service, charm, and attention. Clearly there must have been a miscommunication regarding who was servicing our table because once Brahim took over, we had our food in drinks in a matter of a few MINUTES! Not to mention, kindness, charm, and attentiveness. It’s such a vibe with the tropical decor, and the food was so delicious. I will be coming back!“

“Amazing experience! The staff was absolutely 10/10 – super friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was also 10/10, perfectly cooked steak and everything tasted incredible. The atmosphere was great and the service made the whole evening even better. Definitely coming back again!“

“Great Customer Service Quick service“

“Okay nothing was wrong with the coffee it was a 10/10 iced horchata latte with oat milk and the coffee kicked!
But the cafe itself needs a bit of housecleaning. So many flies just hovering inside and the cafe needs some bg music and might help with overall liveliness of the decor.“

“I had a quarter chicken, “small” fried rice (gigantic), and a few more stuff by recommendation from the staff (lomo empanada, a drink??? It’s purple, and a cookie) EVERYTHING WAS SOOOO GOOD Please visit it’s out of the way but it’s worth it for the food and especially the green sauce!!!“

“I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic.

I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice )

I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10

I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one

Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two.

This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Kevin digale al chef no poner mucha sal a las lentejas please.“

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“Ordered 5 tacos, very yummy. Just don't understand why it asks what sauce you want per taco to then completely ignore it, CONSTANTLY. If you don't want to give the sauce just don't offer it, sending other sauces instead, which weren't wanted, end up being thrown in the trash.“

“Carlos at El Cocoa Restaurant was honestly amazing. From the moment we sat down, he was super welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away. He was attentive without being overwhelming, checked in at the perfect times, and made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted it.“

“Everything on the menu is a must . It’s definitely a Go to spot when you’re in the city nyc !!!“

“This is an amazing place for a couple of drinks and snacks. I have not had an entree here but ordered the empanaditas, not the biggest fan of them as I was expecting something with a bit more of colombia influence and received the total opposite. Otherwise the drinks are amazing and the bartenders are always friendly. The ambiance and decor are my favorite.“

“I used to eat here before with old management and now the ambient and our waiter was so nice, he suggested as the steak chopped and it was fabulous we ate twice! We loved the specials rice ball staffed with broccoli! Now its became one of my favourite spot here for Italian and Argentinian food!“

“Watched the Knicks game here, the manager put up a screen and made efforts to fix glitches, let folks bring in pizza, and took care of everyone, even Spurs fans lol. It's a comfortable, quirky, and welcoming bar. A perfect spot for an epic game.“

“I love going there i always get nice stuff and yes it's a 5“

“Taste just like my Argentinian friend cooked it!) 💛💛💛 Great stuff“

“Super awesome lunch spot! Came in after seeing the meal deals they have, they’ve got some great options like the 2 or 3 empanada with a drink deals, I personally got the sandwich meal with the drink and fries. Super good price! I got the turkey blt and it was so delicious, and the fries were also super yummy! The man at the front who took my order and brought my food was extremely nice and welcoming!

Very cozy inside, they have a good little seating arrangement and a TV playing random news or whatever is put on for entertainment. Great vibe!

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Definitely try this place for a good lunch!“

“great location. perfect size. food is on point 💥💯🇪🇨 great portions and I jave never been disappointed! com on Come All!“

“Pizza la Mexicana muy buena se los recomiendo“

“Stopped by for breakfast. The 4 Golpes, let me tell you… worth every bite. The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and made with real love. Rudy, the owner, was amazing and super attentive, making the whole experience feel even more special.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. Support local, support good food, and support people who truly care about their craft.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“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.“

“Best bakery ever. Best Cuban sandwich in town, and everything else. The pasteleros, the café con leche , the ham croquettes every top quality.“

“Amazingly delicious, filling and inexpensive. Their empanadas deserve a Michelin star“

“who doesn’t love a solid empanada? i never had their other menu items here, but their beef empanada is delicious! the wrapping is corn based. they also have a chicken filling. they come out hot and crunchy from the fryer. every 2 empanadas gets a spicy vinegary salsa“

“Girasol Bakery has fresh bread, cookies, and pastries that are delicious. The bakery is the hidden gem of Richmond Hill. Those who do not get the opportunity to sample their foods are truly missing out. It's a must-go to for really good food.“

“Listen, I’ve visited New York about three times now, and every single trip I make it a priority to stop at this bodega. I first discovered it during a tour on my very first visit, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

They sell a variety of things, but let me be clear—the empanadas are the star of the show. Oh. My. Gosh. They are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and BIG. You can literally get full off just one.

If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and try their empanadas. I have to warn you though: once you taste one from this spot, you’ll never be satisfied with an empanada from anywhere else. You’ll only crave theirs.

Highly recommend!“

“Good food, good menu and good waitress“
