Very cool vibe and creative cocktails. I particularly like the Ox Tail and Ceviche. Jo and Ashzi took very good care of us. Wait staff in general was very attentive.

Gorgeous ambiance! They have lovely decor and you can tell that they had a great interior designer. Service was great. Our waitress Manuela was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and was kind enough to provide several suggestions. All staff were very professional and helpful. Drinks were very tasty, especially the “electríco!”. I loved the presentation. The chicharron tapas were the best chicharron I ever had—perfectly crispy, juicy and tender without being dry or too fatty. The garlic shrimp saffron tapa with the tostones were amazing—I’d come back just for that. As for the mains—the chicken was good, a little overpriced in my opinion, as it was regular chicken with no special marinade and was a little dry. I asked for my steak to be medium well but it was definitely under, and was red, chewy and a little tough with no seasoning. The saving grace was the delicious chimichurri sauce it came with and the yummy shisito peppers. Overall, I still recommend and plan to come back. Next time I plan on trying more tapas and possibly the whole fried fish entree! Check this place out.

Such a fun atmosphere, but the food is even better. We had the caviar service which was amazing and unique with the cuisine. Would recommend for a fun dinner or cocktails and small bites.

Went to Chica & The Don for brunch yesterday and wow - what a vibe! The food, the drinks, the music was everything I needed on a Sunday. $69 per person for unlimited tapas and cocktails - well worth the value considering all that we ate/drank. The garlic & saffron shrimp was to die for, and I could eat those chicken empanadas on repeat! Shoutout to MANUELA, our fabulous waitress yesterday.

Fun, friendly and also super attentive with our table. Looking forward to come here again for brunch but also for their dinners as I heard they get quite LIT! 5 ⭐️ all around!

This was such a fun spot!! The service was above and beyond - everyone was so friendly and recommend some great dishes: the shrimp and snapper ceviche and the birria empanadas are a must try.
I will say the short rib quesadilla isn’t all that, I’d skip it.
The cocktails are awesome too. It’s a great birthday celebration or small group dinner spot.

Nice vibrant Latin American restaurant. I love going there to catch up with my friend. Their tapas fill you up and their drinks are made well.

The vibes in here are incredible and it will be felt as soon as you step inside. The staff is attentive, thoughtful, and friendly which exceeded my expectations especially on a day the majority of NYC had been quietly processing recent news.

Got a quesadilla, solid option for 2 people who were mediocrely hungry. Looking forward to trying more! Wrap up your visit here with a session in the photobooth, you won’t regret it.
