The food is excellent and it's tough to go wrong, everything is delicious! But the true star of the show are the mixology cocktails. The service is very friendly. One of our favorite places!

Mind blown! The suckling pig is divine. I tried the Cubanano sandwich for brunch and started with the ceviche. Both were so delicious, my girlfriend had the arepas, also delicious. Great brunch spot!

Went here for brunch and absolutely everything was amazing. The whole staff goes above and beyond. The food and drinks are very fresh. Definitely a must go place.

One of my favorite brunches in the city. Great latin fusion food (I inhaled the cubano), and a $15 unlimited sangria/mimosa special. Nice folks there. Can't wait to return for dinner.

Very friendly staff - small, but quaint place with amazing food. The arroz con pollo (chicken & rice) was delicious. Also loved their cocktail menu!

After three brunch visits, I have yet to have a bad experience. Staff is more than welcoming and food is just as good. For brunch get the Pan Dulce (amazing take on french toast) or the Fish Tacos.

Everything here is so good, my wife and I love this spot. One of the few places I feel safe ordering blindly off the menu. No dish has disappointed so far after multiple visits.

The food is AMAZING! Get ceviche, arepas and the calamari. The lobster is great too. But the best thing about this restaurant is the service, everyone is great. Thank you for a great experience Gio!

for cocktails, go straight for the Azteca (like a margarita, but boozy, so perfect). skip all the rest. if they have the salmon flower special, i highly recommend it.
Laura VitaroNovember 6, 2013
Actually the best service I've ever had, and some of the best food. Short rib arepas. Arroz con pollo. Churros with chocolate & dulce de leche. All perfect flavors and textures.

Holy mother...went here and had the huevos rancheros, I gotta tell ya they were delicious, also try the water melon sangria yummy! Look for David he's the cooooooolest.

The truffle ceviche is unexpected and delicious. Also try empanadas and meat platter (they say for 2 but it's for at least 4). Great cocktails as well!
Jorge OrtizFebruary 16, 2012
Come for dinner with a close friend. Get some cocktails, the hamachi ceviche, the heart of palm fries, and the black cod. Split everything. Wrap up with the tres leches cake for dessert. Leave content

Everyone talks about the great service here, and now I know why. The staff is amazing. The poquito picante and whiskey smash are dope. The jicama salad, empanadas, and suckling pig were delicious.
Gabriella RossiMarch 31, 2015
The juevos rancheros was simply amazing. The unlimited drinks is great- the service is a bit slow but they make them so slow that it's probably a good thing.
Eric LJuly 14, 2013
This was one of my first bars/restaurants when I moved to the city. Still such a great spot - enjoy the cocktails. Best pisco sours in the city.

One of my all time favorite restaurants in ny! Get the guacamole, ceviche mixto, Costello, lechon and tacos. Make sure to reserve an order of the churros. You won't be disappointed!

Came during brunch and our server Claudia from Barcelona is great. Super sweet and attentive she came to my rescue when I was deciding between dishes. ASK FOR CLAUDIA and get the gauc!

Order two of everything here. Especially the fish tacos and the oxtail. And have at least three cocktails of your choice. Amazing food here and the service is top notch.

Lower East Side and West Village – $12 added to your meal for all you can drink sangria, mimosas, bloody mary and margarita (meal varies from $8-$14)
ThisGirlCanEatApril 29, 2011
Love this place! Definitely order the guac. Paella and arepas are fantastic and the papa rellena with truffle jalapeno sauce- a flavor explosion that I will undoubtedly be dreaming about for a while!
Nikki StadniukApril 4, 2013
The service was excellent, everyone was so friendly. I will for sure be back. I suggest trying the Empanadas, and Short Ribs- beyond tasty
Daniela SalazarDecember 22, 2013
Love the service! Try the desert rose drink...perfect blend of tart and smoothness...I love the rose pedal detail in the drink!!
MelMay 23, 2011
Great service with Katie the waitress. Loved the machueca (sp?), the Brazilian paella - recommend ordering this to share bet. 2 ppl and getting a few apps unless 1 of u is a big eater
Claire J SongJuly 17, 2015
Tack on an additional $14 ($17 for the West Village locale) for an hour of unlimited cocktails, margaritas, mimosas or sangria.
Alberth MooreJanuary 3, 2017
I loved the "Guacamole" and "Arroz con Pollo" and on weekends I loved "Pan Dulce" in the Brunch
Peter VermeulenSeptember 21, 2014
The owner is extremely friendly and so is the staff. I truly enjoyed the food too : arroz con polo , seviche , the cheese croquettes , ...
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011
Yerba Buena takes your palette for a ride with the ingredients used in Chef Medina's dishes. Start with Guacamole or a ceviche, and then try the Suckling Pig or Arroz con Pollo to really satisfy your
Nicolette RomeroSeptember 27, 2014
They keep the drinks coming during boozy brunch. Try the chicken tinga arepas - a smaller portion, but very good!
Mike NietoMay 19, 2012
The short rib and cod are two of the best dishes. Also try their ceviche to start. Nicest staff of anywhere I've been in the East Village
JR -January 4, 2015
Avocado, watermelon and heart of palm fries are pretty interesting. Also can't go wrong with miso black cod.
Amro BasharyFebruary 14, 2015
The Croquetes de Queijo and Toro Taquitos are amazing. Great service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Helmy LavezzariSeptember 8, 2013
Best appetizaers ever to pair with Casa Dragones Tequila. Tuna Tartar, Tacos, toasted empanadas and the best entree the pork...Amaazing
Hannah YangJune 21, 2010
tacos de pescado: SO delicious, once you pop, you can't stop.. (no really, we had to order more!) the black cod and lechon are also super flavorful, YUM. this location is 1000x better than perry st.!
DoubleDeuceSeptember 14, 2016
Very good brunch. Much nicer inside than I imagined when looking from the outside. Very nice.
Erica HawthorneSeptember 21, 2013
The french toast is amazing. The unlimited drinks for an hour are EVERYTHING. It's cute and I loved it!

book your reservation using savored.com to save 30% off your bill, order 1 (or a few) poquito picante cocktails, don't miss suckling pig, service is phenom
Beka OuyangFebruary 23, 2012
Everything here is delicious! I've tried the short rib, paella and the lechon and still can't pick my favorite! Service is also excellent :)
Vivian LiAugust 19, 2013
Slightly prefer the other location. There are many slight differences between the menus, but this location is Amex only & no watermelon fries available at brunch (the best part).
Eric WagnerMay 24, 2011
This is the kind of place where it's hard to go wrong. Everything I've ordered so far has been phenomenal. But if you want one rec, get those fish tacos. Read more

Arroz con Pollo. The chicken was incredibly tasty and succulent. Can't comment on the rice. Didnt taste it.
Jamie WFebruary 19, 2016
Calamari, empanadas, arepas, all UNBELIEVEABLE. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had!
ShernApril 3, 2016
Excellent service! Still prefer the food at the West Village location but like the people here
dori goldmanOctober 19, 2013
amazing service and mouthwatering food. get the tuna tartar to start. you won't regret it.
Denise CarlonJune 9, 2012
This is the greatest restaurant. They make all the patrons feel like VIPs, and the food and cocktails are delicious.
Marina TsipenyukOctober 25, 2011
Service here is amazing. The calamari and potato croquettes are delicious. There is also this amazing dessert there called the panqueque.

Amazing place, drinks, food, ambience. You can't go wrong.
AditiApril 5, 2017
Skip brunch here - too much mayo and everything begins to taste the same. Enjoy dinner here!
AmandaNovember 24, 2013
Really good drinks. Poquito picante is spicy and tangy! They're skimpy on the $10 guac though...
SiettahJanuary 25, 2016
Mojitos are strong. In a great way. Get the steak a caballo for brunch.
