“For a small deli, my goodness, they can put out some of the best and delicious food in Woodside. I picked up pernil from them and that was a delight!!!“

“The food here is very good. They cook the food fresh in front of you. I went here on my lunch break one day and ordered two tostadas, they cooked the raw chicken right there. The food was well seasoned and it was cooked to order. As they were making my tostadas another cool took a tray of baked chicken out of the oven. It looked so good I almost canceled my tostadas for the chicken. Needless to say the tostadas were delicious. If you’re in the area give this place a try.“

“Wonderful!! The service , awesome!! Food delicious 👍“

“This Establishment has the best Mangu hands down, Lord have mercy! Lol!

I traveled across state lines just for their delicious Dominican breakfast. The prices are excellent, the staff are amazing! Congratulations once again. God bless!“

“Un ambiente super divertido y familiar 🗽🍾🇺🇸🎆“

“Recently went and although the food and waiter staff were great, we were expecting what we seen on here. There was no performances. An empty space. Apparently there's a 2 hr gap between brunch and dinner. The booking site allowed for a 4pm reservation. When we arrived we were accommodated but looked at funny. We found out that brunch had ended at 3pm. I was really hoping for the full experience I seen here and paid alot and didn't get it.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“Came here on a date night with the wife who is Uruguayan. The provolone was a fantastic starter, reminded me of the one I had during my last visit to Uruguay. In my wife’s 2+ decades in the states I’ve never heard her rant and rave over a chivito the way she did theirs. She said and I quote “this is the best chivito she’s had since being in the USA,” so that should tell you something. I had the Uruguayan Ribeye and I left just the cutting board it came on, nothing was safe. I was hesitant about the Duck fat potatoes because it’s not something I haven’t tried, but they were perfect. The ribeye was to die for, I wanted more. Dessert was just as good too. My wife loved the flan, and I’ll take her word because all flan is bad to me. The Alfajor was so damn good. It was different than the traditional one I’m used to eating, but fantastic nonetheless. We will definitely be returning, and telling everyone we know to travel to Brooklyn to give this place a try.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“I went to a family friend’s 70th birthday party they hosted in the Atlantic ballroom. The space was modern and very clean. The food was DELICIOUS!!! And the workers, Yiselle, Estrellita, and Shorty (blonde) made the event so memorable! They paid attention to every detail, whether it was filling our water cups, collecting unused plates and of course they did it all with a warm smile. They were kind, funny and very welcoming. I had a wonderful time! Thank you Yiselle, Estrellita and shorty!!!“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“The food was very flavorful and delicious!“

“First time eating Bolivian food and it was out of this world! Saltenas were rich, juicy, and hearty (start at one end) and the Sopa de Mani is not at all what I expected peanut soup to taste like. think of Rich complex New England clam chowder without the clams. really no peanutty taste at all. the owner was wonderful as well“

“Incredible space. Incredible people that work there. I hosted an event here, and couldn’t recommend them enough. If you are looking to host a dinner or event and want to work with kind people AND have an amazing time with great food, this is THE space.“

“The coconut-ginger rice is amazing! Aside from the good food, the service is impeccable. Everyone has great energy and is so attentive, especially Atillah (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She always goes out of her way to acknowledge and ask me about my day, and that really goes a long way. Pleasee go check them out!“

“I was so excited to spend my birthday at Leticia's. The food and service were fine, and the atmosphere seemed lively enough, but the night ended in total heartbreak. My husband had specifically arranged for a sweet birthday surprise—a simple dessert and a song—and the hostess completely forgot. Watching the night end in absolute silence without even a mention of my birthday was devastating. It completely ruined what should have been a special moment. Remind the hostess or server several times about anything special you want yo do.“

“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“Excelente sazón y CONSISTENCIA en la misma quizás uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida ecuatoriana en los últimos 3 años en la ciudad de New York . Lugar muy limpio, espacioso , baños impecables, amplio estacionamiento y el sabor de la comida es realmente auténtico , lo único q podría mejorar es la atención un poco caótica y desorganizada pero en general todos los meseros son amables, vayan por ahí no se arrepentirán!“

“My first time in this place and I loved it. Gaby our server was so friendly and attentive. The food was so tasty , reasonably prices also.
And on top of that we got complementary dessert 😍😍. Definitely we will be back!!“

“AMAZING delicious latin food drinks are fantastic and service is spectacular!!! If you never try ropa vieja thats my favorite dish there but everything in that menu is sooo flavorful and delicious 🤤 also it’s a very nice ambiance and good music 🎶“

“Great little spot! Visited when there was a block party happening. It was great to sit and enjoy some great empanadas and morir sonando and music in the background.

I had the vegan empanada with lentil and another with onions and mushrooms. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“fantastic food, but horrible service. AND they force an 18% gratuity on all parties“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“Finally had the opportunity to come to this place. I would like to start off with the service. When we arrived it was packed which we were not surprised. The lady at the front was very friendly. But our server not so much, i get people have off days but we did not feel welcomed. We ordered ceviche, white rice and beans & the chicharron de pollo. As someone that loves ceviche this was not the greatest ceviche i have ever had. The apples and celery threw me off but the reason why it was not great is because the juice had that seafood tate rather than the lime zesty taste. The rice and beans were amazing!! Perfect texture and taste. The chicharron de pollo is the best chicharron i have ever had. My husband and I literally locked eyes on the first bite. It was juicy and had the perfect crunch and taste. I will definitely recommend this place and come
Back to taste the rest of the menu.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“Good food excellent service .Great job Juan Carlos“

“Great food and drinks Great atmosphere. Professional staff.“

“I love this place, it’s so delicious and the staff is so nice! I just wish my coffee orders here would be a little more consistent. Here is a photo of two vanillas cortados (same order) ordered at the exact same time, drastically different taste and milk to shot ratio.“

“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“

“Pablo Santo just catered our daughter's wedding. This food is THE BEST, Most flavorful and perfectly prepared food! The ceviche was tasty without being too tart. The Wild Boar was tender, with a perfectly balanced gravy. All raged over the plantain stew! Personally the rabbit mole was to die for! Perfectly prepared meals, with quick attentive service! Most HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Chef and staff!! You were all superb!“

“New go-to spot!! The best cocktails I’ve had in a minute. Complex, balanced, w high quality spirits. This spot is beautiful, perfect blend of welcoming, cozy, elevated, vibey. Awesome service and delicious food. Appreciate the vegetarian options. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu and happy hour!!“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“The oxtail empanada for sure. For sure! Tried the chopped cheese which was also good, but the oxtail is the absolute best! Well filled and such good flavor. I could eat 10 of them. I want to eat 10 of them.

I was bummed they had sold out of the guava cheesecake tho :(
Just an extra reason to go back!“

“The vibe is electric. Great drinks, food & staff. Fun place to watch the game. I'll be back.“

“I came to this restaurant for the first time and randomly ordered two dishes. To my surprise, the taste was excellent—really delicious—and I liked it a lot. The prices were reasonable, and the owner was very friendly. I highly recommend everyone try this place.“

“My wife and I came here for dinner tonight, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were just as impressive, and the atmosphere had such a great vibe.

I had the Caipirinha, and my wife ordered the Passion Fruit Lychee Martini—both were fantastic and made perfectly.

The highlight of our visit was our bartender, Ricardo. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. He took the time to explain the menu, gave great recommendations, and his service really elevated the entire experience.

It’s not often you find a place where the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all come together this well. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be recommending Guarapo Latin Fusion to our friends and family. Thank you, Ricardo, for making our night such a great one!“

“The food gets 5 out of 5. It was simply delicious, and we have nothing but good things to say about it. I had the T-bone steak, while my girlfriend had the filet mignon, and both were truly, truly delicious.

The ambiance gets 2 out of 5. It simply wasn't our cup of tea. The restaurant was dimly lit with neon lights, which, in our opinion, didn't pair particularly well with the atmosphere we would expect from a a place where the food should be the main attraction. Also, the music was very loud and we had to ask for it to be lowered.

As for the service, our waitress gets 1.5 out of 5. She was friendly, but we felt that she was quite unprofessional, both in the way she was dressed and in her overall behavior and level of service. She brought us our food but never checked on us afterward, and we actually had to get our own steak knife. There was also what appeared to be a friend of hers, or possibly another staff member, sitting two tables away from us. They spent much of the time chatting, and honestly, it gave us the impression that they were doing us a favor by serving us rather than making us feel welcome as customers.

The bar was also an issue. The phone kept ringing with an extremely loud ringtone, which was quite disruptive. Later, when we wanted dessert, we decided to have coffee instead. We ordered two cappuccinos, and our waitress simply smiled and said no, without giving us any explanation as to why. This was particularly confusing because there was a large coffee machine right inside the restaurant.

Overall, the food was superb, and it's really the main reason we would consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, and that's what is making us hesitate about returning. It's a shame, because the quality of the food was excellent, but the overall experience left us somewhat disappointed.“

“So I came here for my birthday dinner and at first I did not want to eat there since I thought it will be a party vibe, but the lounge area wasn’t open. Which I get it since it was a Wednesday. But the Chef did not want us to leave disappointed, he did it all (Champagne, birthday sign, food, shots) all at a discounted price. & let me tell u the food did not disappoint. It was delicious! I was overwhelmed with his generosity. He really made my night special. And something I will always remember. Keep Being the kind person u are Wilmer. Good things will definitely come to u. I will be back. THANKS AGAIN!“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“Great Peruvian restaurant! I've eaten Peruvian food several times, and I appreciate their elevated presentation and flavors. I saw some reviews speak of slow service. I don't know if that occurs during certain times, but I found the service to be excellent. Maybe the management saw the reviews and took action--if so, kudos to a responsive correction! Great food, excellent service, and beautiful atmosphere.“
