A. Hidden. Gem. I need more people to know about this place because WOW. The service is always so friendly and on point. The drinks will have you giggling, and the food will have you ready to call it a night; I slept good that night. Although there aren’t many vegan options, you can make any plate vegan/vegetarian with their crispy chick’n option. I can never find a perfectly crispy vegan chicken, but I found it here! Everything mixes so well together and the side sauces (cilantro based hot sauce and Mayo/ketchup) satisfy my need for condiments. Lastly, the dessert isn’t on the menu, but please ask for the passion fruit moose!!
I ordered the shrimp dish as it was highlighted as crowd favorite. Shocking- 8 tiny hard shrimp were on the dish, no sauce the dish was dry. I ordered beans on the side thank goodness that was filling. Not good quality ingredients.I do like that they use south american avocados instead of the mexican hass.Small portions and pricey - better food elsewhere in queens for this cuisine type.
Went here for drinks and light food.DRINKS: The drinks are gorgeous but I didn't taste a drop of alcohol in them. Tasted straight up virgin, still very flavorful though.FOOD: The food was good! I had arepa with grilled steak, egg, ripe plantains (maduros), and cheese. Hard to eat without making a mess. The stuffed tostones with guacamole and shrimp was good. A little hard to eat.SERVER/SERVICE: Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Checked on us consistently. Very delightful.VIBE: Chilled out with a bit of a lounge. Loud reggaeton music played.
Delicious food & great service! Ii would definitely go there again .
Where do I start ? I love this place! I tried it for the first time a few months back with my girlfriend and I can’t wait to go back. The energy of this establishment was fantastic and welcoming. It is a hidden gem on Steinway Street, I just wish more people knew about this restaurant! As a marketer I would publish more content on all social media platforms for all to see. This place is really tasty and great to enjoy yourself with friends and family. Again, I only had this once but it is already on my top 5 FAVORITES. Can’t wait to visit again , thank you.
I've been to this place 3 times. Their drinks are good and the food is delicious. It's a bit dark in the back and it lacks atmosphere but, the wait staff is fast and friendly. We always get the table in the front and it isn't so bad; unless it's really cold and windy. The lamp over the front door is too harsh and drab. The food is good that's why we keep coming back. ?
Great food good music ? high recommend
Delicious food? and great customer service!
Delicious lentil soup if you want something warm on a cold winter day. The pork arepa was delicious as well. I liked that the breading used for the arepa was soft and sweet yellowish color. Maybe it's made from corn? As opposed to the white sometimes kind of tough texture breading that are common with other arepa places. Maybe that kind is made from flour? Succulent, tender pieces of pork with the Maduro and cheese and any of the sauces they provide you with. Nice, clean airy, vibe and friendly staff make this a go to spot!
Great place for arepas and other central American/Caribbean food. You can get pernil and ropa vieja plates as well as on an arepa. The food was delicious and the staff were super nice. Everyone was COVID safe.
