“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“
“I recently attended a dinner in one of the private dining spaces and it was absolutely fantastic! The dining space was formerly a law office and it had a very intimate, homey feel. The staff at Comodo made the night very special, from the impeccable service to the thoughtfully curated menu.“
“I only ordered what my grandmother would make so that I could compare and have that home-cooking comfort! Nothing is ever as good as grandma’s cooking, but needless to say this is close #2!!! Arroz con gandules, mofongo with pernil, and alcapurria was my favorite but you cannot go wrong with anything. A small, cash only place that has a true homey neighborhood feel. Just waiting to go back!“
“First time on this place,we were celebrating my friend's Birthday, the food was super Delicious,( ordered a churrasco medium well and a lychee Martini) we all ordered different things and were agree with the Great taste of it. The attention was 5 stars.Is not a big place but we were comfortable everything was clean and I was in love with the decoration. Definitely I will go again with my Family.The only problem is the parking on the area,so I recommend go by Cab.“
“A different venture from your regular Dykman experience. It is an intimate, sophisticated culinary experience inspired by owner Felix Abarca's birthplace Ecuador. Fusing rich flavors found in Ecuadorian cuisine with its food and beverage program they offer an experience in the shape of a glass or plate.Staff is always inviting and on point. Place is always immaculate and organized. Live music on the weekends by local artist or even the bartender "extrangero music" is always of great taste and not too loud.Pop-up and collaborations with chefs or bartenders happen regularly.The amazing wine list is unique and curated by a great connoisseur and wine enthusiast, the owner Felix.The coziness of this place is what makes it even more special.“
“Comida Buenisima... Lo único tienes que pedir los platos iguales como estan en la carta... Eramos 4 y nos cobraron 5 platos... Deberian de cambiar esto no todas las personas pueden comer el plato exacto como lo tienen... ppr un mofongo aparte nos cobraron el plato del mofongo completo...“
“First off the staff are amazing - warm and friendly. Like you just walked into someone’s home. They patiently guided us through the menu, and brought out frozen glasses with our perfectly chilled beer. Ordered the chicken and pork stews with a side of plantains, everything was delicious. Almost made 5 stars - could have been slightly less salty and it would’ve!“
“Amazing food. Just simply amazing. Bewitching even. Came here on a Tuesday night (not exactly a going out night) and pretty early too around 6:30 or so. Ordered seafood and the name sake of the restaurant: The Octopus. What arrived was an obscenity of deliciousness. Tentacle was very large with garnish of the Parsnip Puree. It was incredibly soft and tasty. Our server Alejandra was was great and very knowledgeable and made suggestions that were right on point. Guacamole, Lobster Taquitos, Ceviche, my god those were delicious! But the key was the namesake of the restaurant. Octopus was not just delicious it was obscenely so! Cocktails were great even though I don't particularly like them (I think that straight up drink is better). And then to top it all off were the Churros. Best ones I've had since Spain and they were missing the melted chocolate (that might be a great idea).One thing though I didn't count on were the musicians. They just add so much to the ambiance of the place, so if you visit make sure you have some cash on hand. You probably will need it.“
“The chicken tikka masala and the naan feels authentic and is just a comforting but binge worthy meal to have. Their tandoori chicken wings are quite good as well. The naan tacos are better than the roti tacos cuz the rotis just disintegrate when you add all the toppings. Love all their chutneys as well!“
“We had a great dinner at ABC Cocina last night. All the food was delicious including the guac, patatas bravas, fluke crudo, hearts of palm salad and tacos. We also loved the speciality margaritas and the churros for dessert. The meal was a little spendy but at least you get what you pay for unlike many other overpriced restaurants in NYC these days.“
“We went in the early morning and it was an excellent place for after the party, there are always a lot of people because there is also takeout but there are several tables inside, the staff is friendly and the service is fast, the taste is also very good although the fruit water is not It is so rich but everything else is very good.“
“We were walking through Central Park and decided to stop at a random place for a beer and restroom and found this gem. The beer was great, the cocktails were great, the sangria was great, and the service was phenomenal- warm, welcoming, and generous. We'll definitely be back for rhe food later, everything passing by us looked delicious“
“This place doesn't disappoint, even late at night. It is my favorite place to go after going out in the West Village. Get the arepas, the steak, drinks, etc. It's all good. Late night they also play music which makes for an even funnier experience.“
“I think this place must have completely changed their menu, because it was absolutely not Cuban, except for an empanada appetizer and plantain sides. It was expensive New American. The description and images are wrong. Look at the latest menu before deciding to go here.“
“Overall rating: 4.7My friend recommended this place to me claiming (!) they have really good espresso martinis. I was a bit cautious because they have such high ratings. From the outside, it looks like it’s just going to be a tourist spot.But going inside was a very different experience. The decor is so much fun and the vibe is awesome. Definitely brought some energy up which was needed. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice and still left me alone.The espresso martini was good & I had a chicken sandwich which was amazing. Total price of $35 including tip hurt a little, but that’s the city we live in now. I’d go back again if I’m in the area needing a place to hang. Highly recommend!“
“Delicious and fabulous service! The service workers recommended the passion fruit tres leches and it was fabulous; the passion fruit layer added some tartness to the otherwise sweet cake.Out of abundant generosity they also gifted me a piece of their traditional tres leches cake. It was also delicious but definitely more sweet, without the fruit layer. Recommended with coffee!“
“Small, cozy atmosphere with yummy food and drinks. Guacamole was fresh, chips crisp. Chuleta al pastor amazing with its pineapple jam, moro and shaved brussel sprouts salad. The corn was yummy. I expected the maple maduros to be sweeter because of the maple but they were regular maduros which was still perfectly fine. Tamarind margarita and mezcal drink were perfect. I will definitely recommend and be back.“
“Pretty good place for authentic Dominican food. Prices are reasonable, though the food can sometimes be hit or miss. As I’ve been ordering the oxtail sometimes it’s extremely tender other times. It’s hard. As always the Cubano sandwich is always a quick bite one of the best. As for trying their many other dishes, they were all good such as the Don Miguel, the salmon and beef stew.“
“Had an amazing dinner with my husband at the very friendly, hospitable, and professional Counter & Bodega restaurant. I made 5:30pm reservations, but they accommodated us an hour early with a smile. Bryan and Joanna are the best. They take such great pride in the food and service they provide. The ambiance, along with Hector Lavoe playing, made us feel like we were back in Grandma and Titi's house as kids, waiting for a tasty pastelle and a sneak swing of Coquito. No le digas nada a mami si no quiere fuete. Best dinner and time we had in a long time. Book a reservation, you won't be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: They made sure there was no dairy in any of my food due to my allergies.“
“Wow, I really wasn’t expecting this place to be THIS GOOD!great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and the food was great! Big shout out for the La Brujita Mezcal Cherry drink. I loved it som much I had three!The queso fundido (with mushrooms) was a winner on our table. We couldn’t get enough of it… until we ate it all, sadly.“
“Our favorite place for dinner!!! Ate there three times in four days! The plates and bowls were incredible. Shrimp. Chicken. Avocado. Coconut rice. And the sweet plantains!!! Nicest hostess ever — Catalina is a ray of sunshine! Makes us sad to return to Indiana.“
“Me, my friend and Don came here after a long weekend in the city. This was an amazing place to slow down rest and eat amazing food. I loved the chicken with cream and hearts of palm. I believe it's calledFRANGO AO MOLHO DE PALMITO EN BREASt. I learned how to make it I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for a nice “
“We came on a Saturday for a college reunion. They had a live performer who kept a great ambiance. I tried one Spice Mango Daiquiri and ended up having three as it was so refreshing and flavorful. Definitely coming back. Recommended for groupsWheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor. Has a ramp by the entrance.“
“This location is a true gem of east village. Their empanadas are always full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The employees were very nice and attentive even for takeout orders. They got my order correct, and it came with a generous amount of sauce as sides. I will gladly be back :)“
“I've been ordering from this location for months since they opened, their chicken is crisp on the outside, so juicy on the inside and the seasoning consistantly surpasses any other chicken I've had. I've shared it with friends and colleagues. Today I experienced something even better. I placed a delivery order at work and when I got home to have this wonderful meal, my order was wrong, I like dark meat, they sent me white. I went on their website and left a complaint of my disappointment no less than 10 minutes, the store manager, Alexis called me to apologize and asked how could he fix this for me. That's what I call excellent customer service. I will wait to see if he follows through, but the call made my day. Thank you, Alexis!“
“Came across this place on IG from a reviewer and decided to head there and give it a try and I was very pleasantly surprised!!!! The food was absolutely amazing and well worth the trip from Brooklyn.. I am and will definitely be back here for the tacos, empanadas and fried pork. Wish they had rice and beans on the menu..“
“Best place ever to have nice diner and have fun ? the drinks are the best I personally like mojito and margaritas , I really recommend his place , safe good music ?Kid-friendliness: Great place to have a good time .. excellent and friendly staff . Mateo a the best bartender . I fully recommend kana 10/10“
“I came here on a random late Saturday night with a friend looking for a spot to get a drink and maybe have some luck in finding a place still open to serve some appetizers. It was to our surprise that the kitchen was fully open after 10pm! My friend ordered the Salmon and I got the Ceasar salad which was very delicious, however, I regretted not ordering the mofongo. People that ordered around me had me craving it! The DJ was really good too; played old school music and currents ones. All the servers provided great customer service. What I liked the most was the crowd- it was almost empty and everyone was just living their best life dancing on their chairs and playing games. If you’re young and single looking for a place to meet people; I doubt this is the place. Everyone was in their late 30s and older hanging out after the brunch crowd went on their merry way. I will be going back again with more friends to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor and plenty of space“
“We sat by the door so it was a bit breezy.The drinks were good. We got mango margarita.The ropa vieja wasn't that great but it has been good before. Could be that they were about to close.I enjoyed the salsa and guacamole and the fish and tostones.“
“One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. My boyfriend took me here on a whim and said I had no idea what I was missing and he was right. The chipotle queso dip and salsa was the perfect way to start and the trio of tacos with Brussel sprouts tied it all together. The food came out fast and fresh and the service was impeccable. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu soon!“
“It's 2024 and this place is still a hit in my heart ❤️ ? ? I highly recommend coming to this beautiful establishment nestled in the heart of Spanish harlem on the east side. Come show some love to this Gem plus the best thing about this place besides the food, are the amazing people! It's such a vibe... love you ?“
“OMG The empanadas were absolutely delicious. I order shredded chicken. They're fried and made of what we call Hojaldre.The empanadas take like 5 or 7 minutes to get prepared it's really fresh but you have to wait.The only little thing I didn't like was that I had to pay almost 1 dollar for a tiny little extra container of their delicious green sauce.It.was so GOOD! 100% RECOMMENDED.They have a bunch of different kindsIt was worth the $5“
“Started with two empanadas, then shared a half roasted chicken and four sides between two people - more than enough food. Chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the rice and beans were a nice complement. Yucca and plantains weren't so great, probably wouldn't order again and would instead opt for the avocado salad next time. My friend loved the signature green sauce - waitress was friendly and packed him some extra with the leftovers. Decent food at decent price!“
“I was craving cachapas and a friend recommended this place. Food was great, we ordered tequeños, cachapa and I forgot the name of the other plate, but it had fried yucca, meat and fried cheese. It was delicious. Service was a 10/10 they were amazing and we talked a bit about everything while waiting. Place was tiny, I honestly recommend doing take out, as most people do. We were the only ones there, but it was still quite small with 3 bistro tables with not so comfy stools. Great place though!Wheelchair accessibility: No“
“The chicken with spicy guava was tasty a little to sweet ? I was looking for garlic on my testones. The kids enjoyed the chicken fingers though. And the cocktaiks were delish. I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“
“1) Food is banging and authentic.2) Staff are the bomb! Tip them well cause they worked for you. And I don't need to be there to know it's true. They are official!!!3) Try something different every time. They will NOT disappoint!4) Food is the bomb!5) Take Bollos home for tomorrow. 1 feeds 2 ppl!6) The Encebollado will change UR life, give U life and save UR life!! It cures everything that ales U!7) Refer back to 1 thru 6!!!!!“
“All I wanted for Christmas was tamales and champurrado. Found this spot and got exactly what I wanted. Every type of tamale they make is great! Asked the guy working if he knew of a good panaderia and he directed to me to a spot around the corner to get some pan dulce. Highly recommend!“
“I got the pescado tacos. You get two street style corn tortillas, the fish was fried perfectly. It came with slaw and some sort of green sauce that was very good. I also got the street corn, which is a whole cob cut in half-it was delicious, and we got the guacamole which was great.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“Those oxtail empanadas!!!!!!!! Whew?? the staff were so personable, from the bartender to the owner who rolled up his sleeves to help the kitchen when it started to get hectic on a Friday night. I’ve been singing their praises to everyone since my first visit. It’s time for expansion my friend. Kudos to your success!“
“This is by far, and I mean BY FAR the cleaniest Dominican restaurant i been in. Pastelitos on point, that's hard to find. Most importantly Fresh, Good vibes plus excellent service, We all know that's hard to find now in days. Im really happy with this spot. After pandemic restaurant and service not same anymore, and more expensive. Definitely go back.“
“"If you're a foodie looking for some lip-smacking, home-style cooking that reminds you of your grandma's kitchen, then you've got to try this place! Their food is a perfect blend of authentic flavors and unbeatable taste that will keep you coming back for more. Trust me, I've been a regular here for the past few years and have never been disappointed."“
“Very cute and cozy restaurant.Food was mixed.Steak and eggs are just wonderful when avocado toast is a big disappointment.Avocado was not fresh, although tuna tartar tasty and mouth watering.Grilled octopus-can't miss.Perfect reasoned and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce.Saviche was very nice as well.Unlimited mimosas were very limited since our server was never around“
“I live in New Jersey and I had to make a stop on 14th street yesterday 3/21/24 and when I was walking I came across Tio Pio ? then I went to the place I ad to go after I finished I stopped at Tio Pio and grab some food before heading back on the train to Jersey, the food at Tio Pio is amazing and fresh I definitely will be back??the staff there was very nice to me and very welcoming??And fyi you get your money worth cause it came out meal for twoAnd their beef empanadas with dipping sauce is amazinggg ?“
“My friends and I came here for brunch and were not disappointed. I had the jerk chicken wings and shrimp & grits, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. The staff were pleasant enough and the prices were fair. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area next.“
“I recently visited this Spanish chicken restaurant and overall had a positive experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant environment for a meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, contributing to the overall enjoyable dining experience.Now, let's delve into the highlight—the Spanish chicken. While the dishes were tasty, I couldn't help but feel that they fell slightly short of my expectations. The chicken was well-cooked, but there was a subtle element missing that would have elevated it to perfection. Perhaps a bit more seasoning or a unique twist could have added that extra flair.Despite this minor critique, the menu offered a diverse selection of Spanish-inspired dishes. The appetizers, such as patatas bravas and chorizo croquettes, showcased the chef's creativity and commitment to traditional flavors. The presentation was noteworthy, with each dish appearing as a carefully crafted masterpiece.The drink menu was well-curated, featuring a selection of Spanish wines and cocktails. The sangria, in particular, was a delightful complement to the meal, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.The dessert, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, was a sweet ending to the meal. The churros were well-prepared, offering a satisfying conclusion to the culinary journey.In conclusion, while the overall experience was positive, I've rated this restaurant four stars as I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor profile of the Spanish chicken. I still recommend this establishment for its ambiance, attentive service, and creative menu, with the hope that the culinary aspects can reach“
“This is one of my favorite hidden secrets in NYC! Tucked in a loading bay for a building, the owners prepare delicious Ecuadorian food at unbeatable prices. The food is all prepared same day so the place smells fantastic. They give huge portions, and sometimes they throw in a fresh fried plantain for regulars! Their hot sauce is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. If you talk to Tony, the owner, in advance sometimes you can buy a bottle, but it's free when you put it on the food you ordered and also made fresh daily. It's the best deal in midtown. (Owned and operated by a great family who always remember me whenever I come in for lunch. This place is lunch only- come early because they sell out fast!“
“My husband and I had the green pepper steak with yellow rice and an avocado salad and he had a a nutty punch (I ? that's what is called) and I had a coconut mojito. My son had crispy shrimp (10) with yellow rice. My daughter had French fries and fruit punch. It was a flawless meal for everyone! Everything was flavorful, the sauce in the pepper steak is the best in the city (flornde mayo standard). This new location was spacious and comfortable, not as tight as at 101 (the og location) even though it's is smaller. The gentleman that makes the drinks and waited on us was wonderful (I forgot his name bc of his drinks ?) he was attentive and made some good drinks. one drink was all I needed to fail a straight line test to the restroom, not drunk but definitely tipsy. My husband had another lol.Tip** Don't forget to order the spicy sauce that comes with the half a chicken, its amazing!Overall we had a great dinner, kids were happy and we were happy. We will go this spot more often it's closer to home and the food is still amazing.Oh and when you order the kids a fruit punch, it's real juice mixed together (used for the sangria I believe).Kid-friendliness: One of the hostesses was amazing to my 2 kids age 3 and 11. She was very thoughtful and was so kind, she even went to the store and brought them candy! I mean not 2, a bag full with two of everything, one in pink, one in blue. From kinder to gummies, ring pops and sour straws. So, she is either is really sweet or hates parents ? but seriously I was in awe out of 40yrs in NYC I have never received such consideration and such a genuinely nice gesture/and such above and beyond customer service.“
“This place was great the chicken was perfectly cooked and the passion fruit margarita was hands down the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot I had 6 of them this day maybe to much but I definitely enjoyed them love this place definitely recommendDietary restrictions: Just tell your waiter and they will help youKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“
“I chose this shop after coming out of B&H with my purchases. I wanted something different than a subway sandwich. Food was great but the portions were small. I'm used to larger chicken. I guess it would be good for someone on a diet.“
“For an upscale vibe Peruvian place, this is the spot. Been here multiple times and the food is great with the downstairs vibes giving you upscale without needing to be all dressed up.The ceviche is a must get, as well as the jalea which is the fried seafood platter, Juanita’s chicken (very tender and not dry at all), as well as the lomo saltado (top pick for non-seafood ppl) which is the wok fried beef chunks and veggies. The prices are higher but the portions align with price paid in my opinion. Their green sauce is good and can be used on anything.Drinks were strong and tasty. Staff were friendly and bathroom was clean.“
