The half bbq ribs had really good flavor and were the right amount of ultra greasy and salty to hit the 'guilty food' spot. The half chicken was a bit dry. The steaks were good, little chewy but that's just the cut of meat. There was a ton of rice and beans, and a vinegary sauce. We liked the fried banana too. Overall it was very filling. Ingredients probably not the highest quality, but this will feed a big family and was not too expensive.

The owner was very friendly and makes you feel warm and welcome! The menu overhead lays out prices and sandwich options, such as the Portuguese breakfast staple, the tosta mista. For baked goods, which are homemade, I noticed that they had pao de deus, bolo de arroz, and pastel de natas. For savory snacks, they have bolinhos de bacalhau (codfish balls) as well as a variety of flavored empanadas and croquettes. I went for an espresso along with a nata and a bolinho de bacalhau. The nata was excellent - a defined crisp crust and the perfect amount of filling and creaminess.

A lot of people took food to-go, but I rather try everything and get more from their $17 all-you-can-eat buffet. A very affordable buffet. The owner was very kind as well, I was curious about a fried dough and she let me try one. She even told me the name of it, but I can't recall. But the texture was chewy and a bit savory. They also sell fresh orange juice. I definitely enjoyed all the different options and friendly atmosphere!

I guess not; they have great food - 1/2 or full trays of BBQ ribs & chicken that are served with your choice of 2 of these: Fries, Yellow rice or black beans (most places don't have the latter 2 items). That's partly why we drive the distance instead of a local Portuguese restaurant. They also have sautéed fish fillet. They have Homemade Flan !!

Owned by Ruben's Empandas, whom has multiple locations found throughout NYC, Rio de la Plata is a wonderful addition to the area, replacing a previous Brazilian luncheonette. Upon walking in, you'll find dozens of empanadas encased in glass with a ton different filling options such as beef, sausage, chicken, fish, and vegeterian, and even dessert ones. Empanadas are what they're most known for, and often I've found are the best option to order. In addition to empanadas, they serve typical Uruguayan dishes such as the chivito sandwich and bizcochos. The chivito in Uruguay is often called the heart attack on a plate. It is a sandwich topped with steak, ham, cheese, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and olives, with fries on the side. Bizcochos are popular savory and sweet croissant, donut-like snacks found throughout Uruguay. I've tried their empanadas, bizcochos, and once the chivito. The empanada is a giant, puff-pastry, stuffed with the filling of your choice and is well-seasoned. At $2.50 an empanada, it's well worth it. Unfortunately, I've left here with a bit to be desired when it came to the bizcochos as well as the chivito. The bizcochos are sold on discount in the afternoon, and there are daily specials on a blackboard.
