Andrew LaVallee: Coconut, creme brulee, carrot cake, tres leche, heck, even the vanilla one is awesome.
Marivic G: the tres leches donut is classic and a MUST!
Serious Eats: The shop that started the fancy doughnut craze in New York, it's still turning out some of our favorites. Try the creme brulee, tres leches, or peanut butter and jelly.

Mishell: Best Dulce de Tres Leche there is NYC!!!! Delicious...
David Berkowitz: Try the tres leches - This tres leches cake is so good, you'll swear there are seis leches in it. Really, leave room for dessert, or just skip dinner entirely and get this.
Psychedelic Mess: Spanish food (rice and chicken are great portions for prices), the tres leches dessert is yummy

Karthik Balasubramanian: Huge portions, great food! Don't forget to try the tres leches!
Adam Mendala: Too many good things to pick from, but the Camarones Cusco (shrimp) is amazing. Tuna Tartare is a must get. I always end with tres leches cake.
Nicole: Gluten free macaroons in flavors like tres leches and salted caramel dipped in chocolate! Also mason jar flan and cheesecakes in addition to cupcakes. Get the creme brulee and tiramisu cupcakes.
Kimmie Ohh: The scrumptious cupcakes look beautiful & taste amazing. They add some Latino flavor to their desserts - lots of tres leches options (cupcakes, cakes, macaroons), alfajores, brigadeiros & flan 😍
Alexandra Vender: Huascar & Co is a delicious bakery with cupcakes and gorgeous custom ordered cakes a specialties all their own. The shop is a chic design that fits with the forward thinking chef’s menu of offerings.

Johanna Fuentes: So many great things to order - where to begin. The roast chicken of course. Incredibly authentic and delicious. Pork mofongo is great (with the sauce). Try the Tres Leches for dessert, one of the bes
José L. Rodriguez: The rotisserie chicken is by far the best in the city. Another item not to be missed is the Tres Leches dessert. It is so good you'll flip after tasting it.
Tracy Roberts: The roast whole chicken with yellow rice and black beans is delicious and more than enough for two people!

Gilt City: Many of the dishes at Victor’s are still made with old family recipes. Some of the highlights: succulent lobster empanadas, chicken skewers with spicy mango sauce and sweet tres leches cake.
Anna de Jesus: ropa vieja and Lechon were great. Lechon had a nice piece of crispy skin. Not greasy at all. Instead of bread they have plantain chips. Excellent. Tres leches to die for.
Ms Helene: Ceviche with snapper, mango and avocado $16, salmon with pineapple salsa and corn purée. Skip tres leches.

Audrey O: Great service + food is delicious. Desserts: Tres leches cake is perfect for the sweet tooth, but the rice pudding is just right.
Elvis Rodricks: Great spot to dine and get some authentic food. Guac, corn cheese, marinated fried chicken and tres leches! Hidden gem...
Jeffrey Zeldman: Opened in 1959, great, family-owned Mexican restaurant. Serious food, not Tex-Mex. Fish tacos are to die for. You can rent the private party room downstairs.
