    This is still one of my favorites spots to go with my family for dinner. We came here on a Friday night a few weeks ago to celebrate my baby being able to be out in public. For a Friday night, we were seated right away and accommodated due to my stroller. The place was nicely decorated for the holidays and the stafff was super attentive. They had happy hour and our drinks came right away. Because their dishes are massive, we ordered a picada, a bolon and my parents shared a seco de chivo. The food is always so good! We end up stuff home for the next day. This place is always a good time! See you next year Barzola!

    Barzola is absolutely the best place for great food and a good time. The food is outstanding and the portions are big enough for two. The margaritas are perfect. Overall it's a really awesome vibe and the staff are friendly and accommodating.

    I've been to Barzola a few times within the last couple of years but unfortunately the quality of service has not been consistent. While their food is good and filling, the service not so much. We celebrated my husbands birthday here and I had asked for a birthday cake to be brought out to my husband it took a very long time for them to do so. We waited for the cake for a while and didn't get it until I asked for the check because we got tired of waiting. During that time we were not offered any additional food or drinks. The staff is friendly, however I would just recommend they check up on their customers more often.

    Stairs to the bathroom.

    Walked into this spot on my birthday. It was the middle of the day with a party of three. Make sure you read the menu before you order. If you're a party of 3 you'll get an extra surcharge, usually it is a party of 5 or more. I ordered the skirt steak, and it was extremely huge. Half of it was made medium, even tho I asked for rare. It came with a side of fried banana. My party got the breaded shrimp and the mixto. I liked their plates too, of course I took a bite of each. I wasn't too fond of the breaded shrimp. :::BATHROOM ALERT:: I'm not sure who, but someone had blood all in the stall, but it was gross. You have to walk down a lot of stairs to get to the bathroom. If you are drinking and use those stairs, it will be deadly,I only had 1 drink. They lost half a star due to the bathroom conditions, and the restaurant wasn't packed. I ordered a frozen mojito w/ coconut. For some reason, the server didn't ask me or my mother for a second one. But the other person with us they had their drinks refilled without even asking. They lost half a star, making it 4 stars because of the bill. When the bill came, they took 18% tip which is included. We were like thats cool so we don't have to sit here and do math. They we paid and they turned the apple screen around to ask for more tip. I said why are you asking for more when we gave you like $30 for a tip? the server goes oh in case you want to give extra, my mother didn't. Finally, would I come back? I most likely would not. The prices were good though, I just didn't like the whole tip exchange or the dirty bathroom.

    Fritada
    Jorge P.

    Pinnacle of Ecuadorian food in NYC! All the classics I grew up with made with the same amount of love and care you'd expect from a home cooked meal. Service can leave a bit to be desired, but doesn't often detract from the experience. Interior gives a very cozy, homey vibe which will make you want to stay for hours. Make sure to try the fritada.

    Seco De Chivo  Sopa De Gallina Ceviche Chifle

    My friend was visiting Astoria and we decided to try Barzola for the first time and wow! I was so impressed by the attentive service from the waiters and lovely ambiance of the space. I've walked past this establishment so many times and never once gone in. I ordered the Seco De Chivo and although I tread lightly when ordering goat because I find it to be a tough meat to my surprise it was incredibly tender! The flavors were delicious I highly recommend. My friend enjoyed her chicken soup and we also ordered a shrimp ceviche with plantain chips which was yummy but a bit more watery than both of us generally like. Overall I was happy to stumble upon this gem and will definitely be back.

    Seco De Chivo (Goat stew)
    Taylor W.

    This is a good place for large parties! The plates are somewhat big so I recommend getting a bunch of dishes to share. The Seco de Chivo is the best thing there! The goat is so tender and the stew itself is flavorful with many spices! It was pretty big and I had to take it home. Honestly, it tasted pretty good the next day too!

    Passion fruit mojito and passion fruit frozen margarita

    I had no complaints during my first time experience here. Drinks are amazing. The music is amazing. Abel was our server and was extremely attentive, he made sure we were well taken care of. This is a spot you'd definitely want to have in your roster. Thank you Barzola !

    Seco de Chivo and chaulafan  Both served with Maduro
    Marcella B.

    As an Ecuadorian, this restaurant never disappoints. We had dinner there last night Had the seco de Chivo and the chaulafan . Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned and just like I remember having it in Guayaquil. The service was excellent. Waiter was Personable and attentive . Always smiling ! If you're ever in the area and in the mood for authentic fresh Ecuadorian food , this place can't be beat. The portions sizes are enough to share or take home for leftovers . It was a great vibe as well

    Ceviche Triple 3 Ceviches
    Haydee L.

    I love this place!! I always order the ceviche triple (fish, shrimp, and octopus). It's so good every single time! The hot sauce they make is very yummy and fresh. They have a few locations in queens but this one is my favorite. The service is always amazing and on point. I've had other dishes as well and they have been pretty yummy. The place is set up Wonderfully and the music they play is very goods

    Ayacas
    Courtney E.

    As someone who's eaten lots of Ecuadorian food, Barzola is a super authentic restaurant. The food tastes as good as homemade cooking. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a modern appearance. You would expect a restaurant with such a modern appearance to lean heavily on fusion-type cuisine, but Barzola delivers on the traditional dishes like Ayacas and Fritadas. Both of these dishes are superb, and the restaurant does not skip on the portions. With the main course, there's generally enough food to take home. I would definitely return!

    Chicken, skirt steak, plantains

    We got the grilled chicken, skirt steak, plantains, rice and beans. Everything was excellent. Service was great.

    Caldo de Bola comes with side rice
    Kayla N.

    I thought it was good. I'm visiting from LA and we don't have many Ecuadorian restaurants in town so I figured we would check one out in New York City, this location is specifically in Queens, New York. We ordered a couple appetizers an Humita and Caldo de Bola. Humita is kind of like a corn tamale and this one had cheese inside. They had two kinds, Sal(savory) or Sweet. My boyfriend said to get the salty one, so we ordered that but I kinda wish we got the sweet one. I'll be honest kind of bland. My boyfriend thought we were supposed to add a sauce to it. Caldo de bola is like a plantain soup (caldo) made with a fatty beef broth. It has vegetables, potatoes, meat and a beef stuffed plantain ball inside (bola) it also came with a side of white rice which I didn't expect, so that made me was happy. I also ordered an Ecuadorian Apple soda called Manzana. Overall we spent over $30 with tip, a little pricey but where else are you going to try Ecuadorian food. Service was fine, we got seated right away by the window. They also brought the check right away when we asked. They had nice restrooms. Overall great experience.

We had the chicken en pulique and the chicken was so incredibly moist and fall of the bone tender. The tortillas also seem fresh and handmade which is amazing as well. I loved the cuchito. The empanada is very nice in that it's different from the typical wheat empanadas you see in NYC since it is made of corn. The loroco pupusa is something I would definitely come back for too.

We ordered tacos with beef and some with pork. They were delicious! The grilled skirt steak was fine if you like your steak well done. For those, like myself, who prefer steak medium rare, it was a disappointment. The chicken entrée in a creamy sauce was a highlight. The mixed green salad was unfortunately mostly iceberg lettuce. The sweet plantains were exceptionally tasty, and despite being fried, they were not too greasy. The black beans were prepared differently than we expected in that they were sort of mashed up and very thick rather than whole beans served in a bit of sauce. Nevertheless they weren't bad. The shrimp ceviche was outstanding! Try Tikal - you'll like it!
