I have eaten a lot of Spanish and chino mix my whole life growing up in nyc. To say this one was the most disappointing is an understatement. The food is mediocre, the service is okay to say the least and it’s not great that everybody says it to be.

The food was OK. The place could use some updates. It looked old and dated.

This place is great! Remember to get the squid ink fried rice…always consistent. Can be a bit loud at times, but food is always great!

Been coming here for decades even after moving out of the city and it is truly one of my favorite restaurants. The food is fantastic the atmosphere is wonderful and the service is incredible. They take care of us as if we come in every day and if my family is ever having a big dinner all together this is our first choice!

I’ve now been to both locations over the last 5 years. Several times. It’s been 50/50 with the good/bad experiences.
I’ve given up on this hype, though. Most of the dishes are average to good, on their best days. On their off days, they can be average to poor. But, when you’re spending close to or over $50 on two dishes, it’s a dealbreaker.
Eating here is part of the experience. I have yet to do so there’s a chance it could be better than takeout? Not for me though.

TLDR: If you've never had Chino Latino - you're depriving yourself of some crazy good stuff. Large portions, even larger flavors. Broiled pork chop, lomo saltado, squid ink fried rice, seco de res. You're welcome.
I've been eating at the Amsterdam location for years but recently I've been coming to this one. It's a family run spot with a full Chino Latino menu. Think a collision of Chinese and Peruvian/Spanish. They've got some straight up Spanish things, totally Chinese and in between.
For starters, definitely try the papa arequipena. It's a Peruvian potato either cold or fried with this red pepper sauce and hard boiled eggs and olives. It's a very unique flavor. If you're there on the weekends, grab the shrimp stew. It's an ultra tasty shrimp soup with rice, corn, a bit of spice.
The broiled pork chops are probably my favorite pork chops anywhere. They're brined incredibly well are dotted with chopped garlic that caramelizes under the flame. It's so insanely juicy.
Squid ink fried rice is a must. It's a squid ink coated fried rice with ham, shrimp, pease and a unique ginger flavor. The lomo saltado you definitely need to get. Sliced steak in a stir-fried sauce with onions, tomato and french fries on top of rice.
The other items I'd recommend are the seco de res, a cilantro-centric tender beef stew. The tallarin verde is a Peruvianish pesto pasta, it's great with the garlic shrimp.
No matter how much good stuff I've eaten, Flor de Mayo is in my list of restaurants I love going to and bringing visitors to. It's something that's tough to find but it's a testament to the melting pot that NYC is.

If you are looking for a delicious and cheap place in New York, this is your place! I ordered half a chicken with tostones for $15 and the dish was huge, in fact I had to order take away and I already have my dinner for tomorrow 😊 Plus it's the best chicken I've ever eaten in my life, juicy and delicious. The service was excellent, very attentive waiters and they were always attentive to my celiac disease and took into account that the food was gluten-free for me. Without a doubt I would repeat again
Food is delicious
