“The food is absolutely delicious. While in Peru we had this chicken and it's 99% the same. Wonderful flavor, juicy, with lots of sides, salad, rice,and white beans, even tostones. The service is wonderful. They are very accomodating. The cut the chicken in quarters for us. Since covid you can't eat inside, it's only take out but that's fine, because it's so good. We will be back for our 3rd time very soon.“

“Cute in the cut clean spot with great food the most amazing natural juices i have ever tasted in my life. I would recommend the pineapple juice.

From NJ when you go I recommend ordering some empanadas as a starter called the 3 hits are the Maximum and an oatmeal juice with orange wow. DeliciousThe chimi and the mofongo are the end“

“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.“

“My husband and I went to eat here last night and we loved it. Very delicious food and very beautiful presentation. The restaurant was full and they were a little understaffed, so it took a long time for the food to arrive, but the owner was so kind and thoughtful to give us everything we ate that night for free and also gave us a bottle of wine. I wish I would've asked him his name, but very nice guy. We are definitely coming back soon.“

“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.“

“This is our favorite Peruvian restaurant in NYC. Portions are good, prices not as crazy expensive as a certain Peruvian restaurant in mid 70s in UES and most importantly, it’s delicious! Ceviche, lomo soltado, ají de gallina and arroz con mariscos are our favorites. Cocktails are very good too!“

“I love a home run...a trifecta :)It's a cozy but clean location...bright & warm vibe with the woods & metals. What can make it more welcoming???!!! A baked goods, sandwich, and other goodies glass showcase as soon as you step in....sorry no picture!The service is AMAZING by far #1 on my list of places BUT not over bearing. They took care of all our needs with kindness & gentleness while allowing us to enjoy our time together.The food tasted as if from FARM TO TABLE...fresh, crisp, warm and light. The arepas were perfect...my grandma and mom are straight from Colombia so arepas are huge...these meet the criteria, soft but cooked on the inside and grilled perfectly, moist not dry. My son's Eggs Benedict was delish and the bread wasn't the usual English muffin instead a thick slice of heavenly toast. The avocado toast was unbelievable and scrumptious. I had both Arepa dishes...both very good but the beef and cheese was exceptional :)Look forward to going back!“

“This was an amazing experience. My family is originally from Chile, the dishes were delicious and authentic, the wine was excellent and I can say enough about the torta mil hoja(dessert). I went with a large party and the staff was wonderful about give recommendations. Excellent experience.Kid-friendliness: My child is 10 not a picky eater. Enjoyed everything“

“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“

“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!“

“So glad we tried this hidden gem for the first time. The host couldn't have been friendlier and the ambience is relaxed, homey and adorable. Homemade guac, salsa and chips were delish and we went with his dinner recommendations which did not disappoint. The fact it's a BYOB is a bonus. We'll totally be back with a larger group.“

“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.“

“We went there yesterday to celebrate my friends birthday and wow what an amazing experience! The food was great I had chicharron Monfongo. The staff came with tamboras y guira to sing HB. Then we went to the club site.Our waiter Ray was absolutely the best, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely ask for Ray when you visit Bonfire.“

“What a blast! The food, the atmosphere, the service and wow the drinks! We were killing time to head back home and met up with family that were already there. The fried shrimp dumplings was so good! And the wings!? Wow! The drinks by far were the highlight of the night. Were definitely going back with some time to chill.“

“The food is AMAZING !!! was a last minute thing and we are so happy we went ! Taste so authentic, and family owned. Out family had an amazing time ! Fries , Barria tacos , horchata, burritos.. all recommended! We will be back to try there pupusas. “

“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!“

“The empanadas were crispy and hot from the first bite tot the last bite. They are the perfect size. Not too small, but not too much that you can’t finish them. The service was fast and friendly. It was not as busy as I thought it would be for late night. Please go here!“

“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.“

“My husband and I had dinner at Libelulu last week and it was great! The service couldn’t be better and the food was delicious. We started with the ceviche, had Ropa Vieja and chicken entrees and rice pudding for dessert. I highly recommend!“

“Loved it here! Came around 10ish so it wasn’t super busy. Service was great! Super nice and helpful. I have the chilaquiles verdes with steak and they were delicious! I just wish they were a little spicier. The passion fruit lemonade was great too! Would come back“

“I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!“

“After a day of thrifting, I looked up best restaurants near my location, and stumbled upon this incredible restaurant. It’s no frills, but truly incredible food and service. The staff were so kind and ensured we had everything we needed. My table ordered theceviche, lomo saltado, and some sausage and potato appetizers.Great price point, and a little gem in Paterson. Support this women owned business !! Can’t wait to head back“

“Finally…authentic, delicious Dominican food that I don’t have to go into NYC to order. My gathering was such a hit , catering was the best! The pictures won’t do this place justice. It’s the taste of a hole in the wall I missed so much. From their chicharron (fried pork rinds), to classic mangu (mashed plantains) with cheese, eggs + sausage. I’m drooling just looking through my food pictures from them. This review is long overdue. Trey it for yourself you won’t regret it!! Did I mention how friendly they all are? The service was great too!“

“This place is really different. I love the Vinyl when you come in. The hostess was pleasant and told us to wait at the bar. The bartender immediately came over and showed us how to scan the cocktail menu. The atmosphere is young and loud. The table service was amazing. The young lady who attended us made accommodations for us without a fuss. The food was good. The Sangria was flowing. Did not feel rushed. All in all a great experience. I live in South Jersey but I would definitely come back!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“The place is very cozy, the service is very good and the food, not to mention the encebollado, is 100 out of 10, very good, and the Ecuadorian tray, not to mention everything, it is super, they offer catering for special events with a variety of dishes, the truth is, recommended a thousand times and They have parking which is a plus in West New York“

“My all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. Grew up eating here, the food and service is always top notch. El Unico has catered countless events for family and friends with the most generous servings at an affordable price, if you know you know!“

“1st timers and the food, the atmosphere, the staff, the comic book shpeal...all of it...we loved! However the music caan be a lil bit lower just cus it's brinner lol Now I doo wanna come a lil later to get my dance on cus the music was also banging! I came w a group of techs n nurses to unwind so thnx cus we did!“

“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.“

“Food was Amazing as Always … Best Ecuadorian Restaurant in New Jersey for sure ! Their Encebollado Barcelona which i always have is the best ! , besides their Caldo de Bola and Guatita are Outstanding and I’m sure all the other dishes are just are as Great ! I know sometimes of the day is a wait to be seated since it’s so packed … but the wait is Definitely Worth itParking: You have to go early because the only parking is street parking , you’ll usually find some after a while …“

“They are really excellent, the food is very good, the service is very excellent, a very good place to go to eat, it is quiet and it is very cheap. The only problem is that they do not prepare any type of cocktail, no alcohol, perhaps that is why not many people go, but apart from that That's why the service is first class....“

“Just ordered on Uber Eats and it is by far the best cuban food that I've found since moving here from Miami!!! Will definitley be ordering again!! Only place up north that I've found that makes the simple staples: Empanadas/Croquettes/Sandwiches correctly!!!“

“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“

“There's is no better place to eat than at La Casona in Union City NJ. The price is reasonable, atmosphere, service and the food is fantastic.The price is right. Forget about paying 16 $ for arroz con picallado .Here at La Casona you will only pay $10.00 Check their daily price for the weekly cheap menu. No more that $ 11.00BYOB“

“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..“

“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 have been visiting Did Amigos for over 20 years. Highly recommend the flavors in this steak sandwich. Make sure you get cheese and onions. Batido de trigo is also delishious. Cash only local spot.Parking: You can park in the lot above the restaurant for 1 hour , just make sure they stamp your card.“

“This place was so nice, I loved the atmosphere here! My server Juan was nice and attentive!! He was also there to refill my drink even if it wasn’t completely empty!! The food, atmosphere, and service is definitely 10/10 I’ll be here again for sure!!!“

“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!“

“The best encebollado in Newark ! Hands down . We have went everywhere in Newark and this place never disappoints. I would suggest you get there early , there is a wait do to the restaurant being small, however they are very humble and accommodate you quickly.“

“I was there last night 3/30 to have the Whiting and French fries. At first I was very disappointed when I realized they didn't have anymore of this special "pink sauce" that tastes amazing. But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“

“If you like margaritas and Mexican food this is the restaurant you need to visit in Hell's kitchen. On the east side of 9th avenue between 53rd and 54th Street this gem has the best margaritas at $20 and they're worth every penny. The food is amazing. Service is quick and the waiters and waitresses are both courteous and entertaining. Two people can have two margaritas each and the entree for about $120 including the tip. If you visit only one restaurant in Hell's kitchen this year make it this place.“

“We came for the Mofongo and got surprised by the Yuca appetizer, it tasted amazingThe mofongo was very flavorful too!One of the best Dominican spots, recommend to check it out. The food tastes like it belongs at a very upscale restaurant in Manhattan.“

“Very glad we gave this place a try. My husband's family is from Ecuador so we know the food and this place is doing it well. Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked and flavored. Very authentic. The ladies serving were great and very attentive. I will definitely be back when I want authentic Ecuadorian food and don't want to cook it myself. Only tip they don't serve alcohol (don't know why...a nice beer with this food would be amazing) and bring cash they do not take credit cards.“

“e visitado muchos restaurantes peruanos donde la comida es rica,pero la verdad ninguna mejor que la comida de La Casa de Don Andrés. Es el autentico sabor peruano,más delicioso no puede haber.el mejor servicio y un ambiente muy tranquilo y familiar.lo recomiendo al 1000%“

“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“

“Moras Take Out is a culinary gem! From the Tequenos to the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, each dish is a flavor-packed delight. The attention to detail and commitment to authenticity shine through in every bite. The diverse menu, including Quesadillas and Vaca Frita, caters to various tastes. The Kids Menu is a thoughtful touch. With impeccable service and a charming atmosphere, Moras Take Out earns a solid 5 stars. A must-visit for a genuine taste. I’m really happy the location it’s in very close to me. Family owed which gives it that home cook meal feel.“

“Overall young chef and team they do a great job with service and establishment is really nice and clean. Only reason why I give you 4 stars it’s 16.62 for a small plate that barely had any mean although it tasted wonderful. Also rice was hard seemed like it was being switched but for a surprise visit good job.“

“I went here for the first time earlier this month and loved it. The food, music and ambiance - Excellent! Best tres leche cake I ever had. I always tell my friends. Great place to go on a date or hang with family or friends . I look forward to going back.“

“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“
