    Light Roast Espresso Martini
    Yalissa C.

    Bar Chuzo is doing something really special with Latin cuisine and this meal was proof of that. Creative, bold and intentional, every dish delivered! The Tuna Aguachile was a standout! The sushi grade tuna and avocado layered together in a bright, herbaceous broth that had just the right amount of heat and freshness. The Scallop Crudo was equally impressive, silky smooth scallops with a citrusy, slightly sweet backdrop that let the quality of the fish shine. The Crab Cake was well seasoned and had this beautiful depth of flavor from the Ecuadorian manglar crab, not your average crab cake at all. And the Chicken Chuzo Platter genuinely surprised me. I normally avoid skewer style meats because they tend to come out dry but this chicken was incredibly moist, tender and packed with flavor from the brasa marinade. Served alongside yuca croquettes and Andean corn, it was a full, satisfying plate. On the drinks side the Light Roast Espresso Martini was smooth, perfectly foamy and had this lovely depth without being overly sweet. And the Ruby Rose Cooler? As a pink grapefruit lover, this one was made for me. Bright, refreshing and dangerously easy to sip.

    So so good! Pricing is fantastic for happy hour. We ordered the following and only spent about $100 before tip: Drinks -Mi Barrio (HH - $11) -Bay Ridge Baby (HH - $11) -Bar Chuzo Margarita (HH - $11) -Rose Sangria (HH - $11) Food -Mini Salchipapa (HH - $11) -Ecuadorian Hot Dog (HH - $5) -Pork Chuzo Platter ($18) -Ecuadorian Chorizo Platter ($16) Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the Salchipapa and the yuca croquettes from the platters which we could eat plates of. Between the pork and chorizo, I thought the pork was more flavorful but the chorizo was also very good. Out of the drinks, I enjoyed the bar Chuzo margarita the best. Since it's a clarified drink, it looks different from a regular margarita but oh so delicious. My least favorite was the sangria but I don't usually enjoy wine. When we entered there was only one other table occupied. Food and drinks were served quickly. Their menu is also great in delineating between GF= Gluten Free | DF= Dairy Free | V= Vegetarian | V+= Vegan. I would 100% come back during or not during happy hour. Highly recommend.

    Rarely do I give 5 star revisit this place deserves it. Nestled on a quiet corner in Bay ridge, this place gives of family favorite neighborhood vibes. We sat outdoors on the side of the bar at a cool table underneath and umbrella. It's just what I needed on a cool summer day. Everything we ordered was really great, the steak and potatoes were cooked to perfection, the salad was dress well and I don't even care for an arugula salad but guess what I like it only there. Everything was just great!!! The wings were so good I didn't even notice there was a sauce to go with it. It was devoured! My ceviche was really fresh and the plaintain chips it came with were the best compliment for it. Now our waiter was amazing, attentive was an understatement. If I saw someone's food at another table and asked what it was he was able to identify it. He made our lemonade iced tea to perfection. He was even moved to an inside table and was moved from servicing us and he still constantly came back to check on us. The experience with him made me solidified I want to come back.

    Came here on a Saturday and made a reservation. We got seated in the back of the restaurant where the music was loud. So be prepared if you are looking for a place to chit chat. Overall we ordered the chorizo and that was outstanding in flavor. Seafood Paella: A massive standout loaded with jumbo shrimp, clams, and steamed mussels. The rice absorbs a rich, deeply flavored broth carries a hint of smoky paprika aiol.

    The food and service were great. My favorite was the Chicken Chuzo Platter, but I can't stop thinking about the Tres Leches. It was the best I've ever had so far!

    Lobster roll
    Megan H.

    A real local gem! I kept hearing the buzz about this spot so I stopped by for dinner one night. Very quick and attentive service, cozy vibe, I had the guacamole and chips as an app and the lobster roll special. The guac was so refreshing and had tons of flavor, the lobster roll was unreal! It was so buttery and delicious with a generous serving of lobster meat, and the French fries were super crispy and delicious. I ended up returning again for another dinner and tried the wings and the chicken chuzo, also phenomenal! This place really knocks it out of the park.

    Bar Chuzo has a lot going for it. The oysters were fresh and well-presented -- a great way to kick things off. The seafood paella was packed with flavour and generously loaded, but missing the socarrat. The pork and steak skewers were both tasty, nicely charred with good seasoning, though the steak skewer edged it for me. A few minor rough edges keep it from five stars, but overall a very enjoyable.

    My son and his wife took me to dinner a few weeks ago and let me tell you I cannot wait to go back. Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the dessert with top notch.! the entrées were absolutely mouthwatering looking forward to going back and trying some more items

    Love Bar Chuzo. Sister and I love coming for their happy hour the sangria is delicious but getting the NY Strip or Chicken Chuzos is always a must!

    Chicken Chuzo Platter
    Aditya S.

    This unassuming family owned restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn serves some of the best Latin seafood dishes in the city with Ecuadorian influences. The place is small with crowded tables but the service is great and the food comes out fast. The scallop crudo is a fresh and clean bite with melt in your mouth sashimi grade scallop tossed in sweet guanabana, apple, and honey roasted cucumbers. The tuna aguachile is plated beautifully with a stack of avocado, tuna, and cucumbers that goes perfectly with the house made corn chips. The crab cake is filling and flavorful on a base of creamy pepper sauce. The chicken chuzo is grilled perfectly and drizzled in a delicious salsa verde. The drinks were decent with a standout being the Bay Ridge Baby with raspberry jam, lemon, and blanco tequila.

    It is time for an Ecuadorian lesson.. shall we? Let's break it down: Definition: "Chuzo is a brochette or skewer of marinated, grilled meat with bold seasonings, classic sides, and the unmistakable flavor of Colombian street food." "Bar" well we all know what that means, "vamos, vamos, vamos!" Since my first visit last year, I was hungry for more deliciousness and decided to go with Yelpie friend, Sharon for brunch. Bar Chuzo has the restaurant and bar attachment which is where we dined. I happen to like the bar room for dining, it's charming and quieter for a Sunday brunch. Bar Chuzo offers really nice Brunch selections from ceviche, salchipapas, tuna, steak and apps from delicious fries, calamari, crab, plantain chips, croquettes and so much more. Here's what we ordered: Apps- Plantain chips( dinamita !) with a side of salsa verde. Yuca Croquettes with Yuca, Chihuahua cheese, and uchucuta sauce( green herb chile sauce with nuts) Dinamita number two! Two different brunch menus, Menu 1 offers apps, sides, entrees, cocktails and desserts. Menu 2: Bottomless Brunch for 90 minutes choice of Margaritas for $35 or Mimosas for $30. Mains: Crab cake Benedict consists of sunny side up egg, crab cake, potato cake, uchucuta hollandaise sauce, crostini and Chuzo salad. Sharon enjoyed it very much.Dinamita number three. Chicken Chuzo: Brasa marinated chicken skewers, Andes Ecuadorian corn, yuca croquettes. There are two skewers with three pieces of chicken on each, scrumptious, loved the taste of the chicken, the croquettes ( yuca again) nice accompaniment and the corn was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! Dinamita number four. Cocktail: Mango peach sangria hit the spot! Service: Gabriella is a great, professional and accommodating server. Absolutely wonderful and knows her stuff! Dinamita number five. There are delicious desserts as well but too full. The portions are generous and this meal for me was lunch/dinner. The vibe here is chill with Latin music seeping into your veins. 'Mis felicitaciones al personal!' ( my compliments to the staff). Bottomless Brunch: Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am- 3pm Lunch Monday-Fri 12-4m Dinner: Mon-Thurs 4-19pm. Friday 4-11 Bar Chuzo 9324 3rd Avenue Take R train to last stop 95th Street Bay Ridge,5 minute walk

    Tuna Aqua chile
    Mariana P.

    Absolutely 5 stars without hesitation ! I fell in love with this place the first time we visited with my mom while she was in town last year. The atmosphere is amazing -- such an amazing vibe, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. The staff is super friendly, professional, and always makes you feel at home. Everything is incredibly delicious, fresh, and clean. My personal favorites are the obvious winners: chicken wings, paella, ceviche, guacamole, tuna aguachile, chicken chuzo, and so much more... My son asks to go there at least once a week just for his favorite chicken chuzo with French fries! It's also super kid-friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you still haven't tried this place, you're seriously missing out

    Crab Cake Benedict with potato pancake with delicious dipping sauce
    Sharon W.

    A delightful in person brunch today. Started with plantain chips and yucca balls for apps. They were deliciously addictive ant the accompanying dipping sauces made it even more enjoyable. Fawn chose the chicken Chuzo platter which she loved and I went with the crab cake Benedict. This was superb and honestly one of the most satisfying Benedict dishes I've ever had. The atmosphere was comfy and inviting and service was flawless and delightful.

In my head and too so other places I've been to when you ask for a bulldog you get a nice big margarita glass with the bottle usually beer inside. Nope here they gave me a tiny glass with the cognac inside, no way you're calling that a bulldog and charging almost 20 for it. It was good but not justifiable at that size. I had this one drink and left. 3 stars maybe I'll try them again soon

The bakery section is also where you order to go. The ladies working there are very nice. Disappointed that they didn't have any ice cream or fruits available from their menu. Here's what I ordered and my thoughts on it: Chicken and beef empanadas $2.90 each The shell is harder and the inside is filled with meat and mashed up potatoes. It came with two sauces. One mild and one was spicy. The shell had a much harder exterior than most empanadas and the filling tasted well seasoned and I enjoyed it. Chorizo $6 this come with one piece of chorizo and a piece of yuca frita. Very delicious and not overly salty. Tamal Tolimense Tolima Region Tamale $16.00 This was supposed to be star of the meal. Very disappointed that the meat in it was very dry and not flavorful. The masa on the other hand was soft and flavorful. The meat tasted like left over meat that was boiled. Definitely not recommending this dish. Tre leche $6 This cake was delicious. Definitely on the sweeter side. The highlight of this place is the chorizo and the empanadas. Would come back and try the breakfast platters. SB: they do charge more if you use card.

    I was passing through Sunset Park and hadn't eaten since breakfast. I saw an Ecuadorian spot near…read morethe train, but it had a B grade, so I passed. Defeated, that only made me want Ecuadorian food even more. I began a mission to get a plate of llapingachos (mashed potatoes laced with cheese and topped with peanut sauce, a typical dish in the Cuenca/Azogues area of Ecuador.) Yelp did not fail me. I walked south and found this place just after some scaffolding. I sat down and was promptly given a menu. Llapingachos are usually eaten with fritada (fried pork) or hornado (roast pork, like pernil.) Them I saw guatita (tripe with peanut sauce) and was almost lead astray and said to myself, No, you came here for llapingachos and llapingachos you shall have. The menu had pictures and I even saw a plate pairing them with steak and eggs. It was a hard decision, but I went with that. The waitress brought out green sauce, called ají in Colombia (not sure what it's called in Ecuador.) my husband ordered the bandeja paisa, a Colombian dish. I waited in trepidation, as I was starving at this point. The food came and I was unsure what to go for first. The meat, the llapingachos, the fried eggs, the salad, or the rice. I gave each a turn. What I love about Ecuadorian cooking, is that there's often a variety of foods on one plate. I hadn't had this plate in ages, so this was a real treat. I wasn't feeling 100% today, so the meal was hearty, yet had nothing to upset my stomach. It turned out to be just the right thing for me. My husband enjoyed his meal, though it was a riff on the traditional plate. They left out the area yet added a few pieces of pork on the bone. He seemed to enjoy his meal. I'd go back. In fact, a personal obligation will require me to be back in the neighborhood in a few days and now I have a little spot to go to that I can trust. I might just try the guatita this time.
