Jackie Chan: The tres leches is absolutely delicious. Worth every calorie.
Rebecca Gishkariany: Try the cow tongue tacos. I know, sounds sketchy, but it's delicious & tastes like beef cheeks. Also the tres leches cake and flan are worth saving room for dessert.
Cary Lawson: Everything was delicious - guac, classic margarita, enchiladas verdes and tres leches cake. Mole excellent, too!

Elvis Rodricks: Beef taco, vegetable enchilada (request) and tres leche were tried and boy did it hit the spot! Go for this hidden place!
Hara S: Literally the best burrito and guacamole I had in NY. Also, the tres leches cake was gooooood.
Scott Laine: The Tinga Quesadilla is the best I've ever had. Super juicy, just the right amount of spice and rich flavor.

Jennifer Silva: The lobster tail and the tres leche cake with fruit topping is off the chain. The small cakes are so good

Negin J: The tres leches dessert is amazing
Matthew Caldecutt: Start with a sangria, the matador combo is enough food for two for two or three meals, and the desserts are great, especially Tres Leches cake
Marc Mastros: Excellent food, chicken Pio, salchipapas!
Gajtana Simonovska: Just Malbec and a taste of their tres leches, both very good. Nice vibe and I chatted with my friends until midnight and they still had customers there enjoying the ambience like we were.
Jake Schefer: “No matter who you’re here with, start with some tostones with beef and chicken, and then share the platter with steak, spicy sausage, and sweet plantains.” - Infatuation. + Get the Tres Leche Cake
Alyssa A.: Such a great dining experience. The sangria is great, churassco was perfect, and the pabellon criollo was a different but amazing dish. Please go and support this local Latin restaurant!!

Aellon: Their tres leches cake is the best cake I've ever had.
Shivan: Small, slightly kitsch neighborhood spot. I ordered the Blackwell Tart (raspberry jam, frangipane, pie crust). Delicious but too sweet; I recommend sharing it with someone. Service very friendly!
Katie Bloom: the cinnamon and sugar muffins are unbeatable

Village Voice: This Choice Eats attendee brought Patacon, Cachapas, Arepas, Tequenos, and Tres Leche...yummy!
Sal: Get an Arepa and fill it up with whatever you want. It can get a little messy, but worth it. Tres Leches cake is pretty good here.
Serious Eats: Hefty fried plantains are smashed, fried twice to get extra crispy, then used as the sandwich "bread" for a variety of fillings. We love the fried cheese version; it's salty, meaty, and delicious.

Sha Diggy: Awesome place! Great service. Must try the eggnog tres leche cake
Kevin Byrne: Great food and a great staff - make sure to eat out on the back patio if the weather's nice!
Nicholas Doyle: Pescado Baja, Camaron Shrimp, Veggie tacos highly reccomended, as is the horchata and veggie burrito. Fresh & delicious seasonal dishes with some real thought and heart put into them.
Kimmie Ohh: Get their cheesecake, lobster tail, tiramisu, flan & tres leches!
Zayed Khan: The almond cheesecake is really glorious. The nutty crunchiness of the toasted almonds works perfectly with the rich, creamy, and not-too-sweet cheesecake.
Zayed Khan: The personal size cheesecakes don't hold the same texture as their regular cheesecakes (the regular size ones are perfect).

Nevena Georgieva: Arepa pabellon, cachapa, tres leches.. Nuff said.
M D: Small place. Food is delish. Chicken soup is huge and amazing! Tastes homemade! Wasn't impressed with the tres leche cake but otherwise all the food was great! Will be back!
Kaity Ng: All of their arepas are made fresh. I travel all the way from Brooklyn for arepas at Arepas Cafe. Enough said.
