Kristina RudicJune 7, 2016Get the octopus and empanadas to start and then share the steak! Absolutely divine. Happy hour drinks are also a steal - $6 strong cocktails!
Dana DAugust 6, 2014The churrasco alone is worth the visit. Add in half-price wines for happy hour and grab a seat in the small backyard garden and you're in for a wonderful treat.
Lori LuoMay 14, 2015The Flank Steak with Chimichurri is excellent, as is the Chivito Completo sandwich, which is layered with filet mignon, bacon, olives, onions, a fried egg, and aoili. Cash only!
Romain D.August 20, 2017Uruguayen restaurant with outdoor patio and happy hour every day from 5-7pm and during brunch hours... can't go wrong with a $15 bottle of Tannat!
Raquelle JessieSeptember 15, 2016get the skirt steak med. rare, and the milanesa w. extra sauce, yummy cocktails and great happy hr on wednesday nights! $6 cocktails, 1/2 price bottles of wine
Yasmina BackströmJune 5, 2016This is one of the best places in BK for cozy dates and great South American food. Order the empanadas and pâté!
Jenn KwanMay 30, 2018Mon to Fri $6 happy hour cocktail. Mon to Tue Burger set with beer $15. I’ll give a 9/10 for the food and the vibe. Friendly server. My skin steak was $25.
Lily SahnApril 18, 2019Steak, provoleta, emps, homemade pastas, can’t go wrong. Perfection Trifecta: friendliest staff, homey intimate setting, amazing Uruguayan food come for all night happy hour Wed. (or really any day)
Ana PatriciaFebruary 21, 2015This place is super warm and cozy! Great ambience, nice date spot. However, I did come on my own and sat on the little bar for quick drink and apps. They a good have happy hour. Highly recommend!
Danielle HuntSeptember 21, 2014My husband had the famous sandwich which was filet, bacon, cheese, ham on a light fluffy role with amazing fries & aioli. The chicken liver pate was spot on- smooth creamy savory deliciousness!
Larissa AlvarezDecember 19, 2016Came at the tail end of Sunday brunch. Great service, food, drinks and value. Happy hour deals are good. Mate infused vodka drink was awesome. Can't wait to go back.
lee johnsonOctober 8, 2013So dark in the patio had to use phones to read menu! Beef was a bit chewy but flavorful & cooked to perfection. . I would definitely go back. Incident at a table caused a 'stir' fun story to tell now
La NAVID ;)March 22, 2014Mussles & the empanadas were finger licking good! They have a special sauce that has a good kick too. Their layered cookie dessert is awesome too! :) But bring cash bc they dont like plastic! Lol
Jake DylanAugust 9, 2021Fantastic happy hour drink deal and the empanadas are DELICIOUS. Incredibly cute atmosphere and just a really lovely restaurant. HH starts at 5pm and goes til 7
Kyle KeOctober 1, 2019Unusual cuisine with a familiar taste of Italian and Spanish influences in a charming, carefully curated decor with a rather reasonable price tags ... a gem.
Marie La RueJanuary 14, 2023Uruguayan sausage is a must at this cute and cost neighborhood restaurant. Loved the decor that takes you right back to Montevideo.
- Daniela VélezApril 16, 2016The cheese empanadas are delicious!! And the have a really good Mexican beer of the "día de los muertos"
Cindy KingJune 25, 2014The chivito complete is a MUST try at Tabare. The drinks are on point. Pricey, but worth it. Been here a handful of times and it's always an amazing experience.
Melanie DudekJanuary 5, 2016Beautiful decor, beef and cheese empanadas for an appetizer were very tasty
This place. A+++++. Service is great, Food is out of this world. Get something with the steak. Healthy drink portions. 2 for 1 happy hour. Reasonably priced but FYI cash only
Anna WalshSeptember 8, 2016It's perfect. Good wine, hot bread, delicious flavor combinations and flan! And alfajores!
NakishaFebruary 29, 2012Muscles, house made gnocchi & ravioli, octopus casserole, flan ALL SO good! Skirt steak: cooked well but a bit bland (blue cheese topped baked potato that came with = YUM). Go with a Uruguayan wine.
Madm FiaFebruary 11, 2017The whole fish was very good. Come during happy hour with a date and get a bottle of wine for half off.
Sandra RubinchikJune 21, 2015The empanadas really are the bomb diggity, but the entrees were so damn oily. If you don't wanna stare at your date in the dark, ask for a table in the back garden.
Alexandra DoucetteJune 21, 2013Stopped in for a quick drink. Got their sangria and empanadas; delish. Can't wait to come back for a full dinner. Beautiful atmosphere, great for date night :)
EvieMarch 26, 2014I can't even deal with how good this place is. Get empanadas to start, particularly the caramelized onions one. I will be craving the steak sandwich for days.
Lucy MariaAugust 31, 2014The empanadas are delicious as well as the breaded chicken cutlet. Everything here is so good and the ambiance is great! Love it!
Argyro DiasakouFebruary 13, 2022Great food - we were so full! Beautiful place with really friendly staff. Nice spot for a date.
Alicia AlvaradoApril 8, 2014Possibly my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn at the moment. The cheese empanadas, chivito complete and mojitos are all phenomenal.- Great skirt steak. The cheese & onion empanadas are amazing, too.
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenMay 20, 2017Had a great bottle of carmenere, a caipirinha and those cheese empanadas 👌🏼
Marc SchneebergerSeptember 16, 2017Nice uruguaian restaurant with great empanadas. Mussels are also a good option as well as the churrasco!
Konstantinos PsychogiosJuly 15, 2019Great little Uruguayan restaurant. Try the empanadas and the alfajor rustico! Both are delicious.
Haley BurksNovember 8, 2013Food was incredible. The filet mignon sandwich was amazing - marinated steak, salted with green olive slices. Yum.
Ben GaspariniNovember 6, 2016Loved the empanadas and steak! This place makes me feel like a giant but it's cool in the back.- One of the best places you've never heard of. Skirt steak...forget what you've heard.
Rosario F.March 11, 2011You MUST have the manjar del cielo (dulce de leche flan) and don't forget to try some Uruguayan wine too (we had the Tempranillo and it was very good)
Manya MaierJanuary 20, 2015Mussels and provolone cheese plate was so good! Staff is so nice and happy hour is amazing.
Great grub. Fabulous spirits. Warm hosts. Perfect date spot.
Audrey ChouApril 7, 2017We tried to be adventurous with the blood sausage but unless you're a huge fan, it's not worth it. Everything else was delicious!
Adam GriffDecember 28, 2014The Uruguayan fusion of ranch and italian is perfect. Who doesn't love pasta and bbq?
Marianne CiaraJuly 28, 2012CASH ONLY !!!! Great food !!! Totally worth the trip to williamsburg. Me and the bf had a great time.
Victoria HarmanMay 21, 2015This place is CASH ONLY. I didn't see it written anywhere on the menu or in the restaurant so a bit of an unpleasant surprise at the end. The bodega across the street charged $1.75 to take out cash.
