great food

I came here last week, looking for a good Spanish spot and came out on a Wednesday. The food was EXCELLENT! I had the prix fixe deal, which is awesome - $20 for 3 courses, app, starter (soup or salad), and entree. Had the banana black bean empanada to start - absolutely lip-smackingly tasty! Then I had the soup - "sancocho" - something different, the waitress told me about it because I had never had it, but am always interested in trying new cuisine. AMAZING. Very rich, thick soup with root veggies and pork, it was a rainy day so it was sooo satisfying (I recommend eating only half tho or you are going to get too full for your main course! Take the rest home.) For my main course I got the chicken quesadilla. Frankly, possibly the best quesadilla I've had in New York, the spices and cheeses were so en point, just super, super tasty. Served with fresh fresh guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. The waitress tried to sell us on this new dessert that sounded like a giant banana split but our stomachs were about to split, so we passed. Sounded good tho! I am definitely coming back, the food is great, unpretentious, friendly staff, and they have excellent deals. There were free salsa lessons too but by course 2 I was pretty much only good for playing spectator. Looking forward to trying other stuff on the menu.

Fun place, great food and even better drinks

A good friend of mine recommended to us this place not long ago, so we decided to try it, and we are SO glad we did. You'll not be able to find places like this without having to go to the city.

After looking for parking for 15 minutes, I wasn't in the best of moods, but the friendly staff, the relax ambiance and the GREAT food took care of that very fast.

The party atmosphere was so contagious that we decided to stay, and a couple of hours and many drinks later we were having a blast.

Definetely a place to recommend

• Pros: Ambiance, food, drinks, prices
