Cascalote is one of my trusted go-to places that will not let me down when it comes to delectable food and drinks. Literally everything is 10/10. The salmon was delicious. It was paired with a kale+corn+sweet plantain concoction that was like a big O in your mouth. The sweet/savory combo was everything. Their chicken nachos are my go to. Every single nacho had the works on it. The drinks (sangria x spicy margarita) were perfect. They tasted great and were just the right amount of strong. The waiter and bartender were attentive and our water was always refilled (which is really important to me. we love a hydrated girly). The brunch vibes music mix was on point. My fav family owned business!
Cascalote Latin Bistro is absolutely fantastic and I'm glad that it's doing well after it relocated. I went with my cousin here for brunch and we both loved what we got. We started off with margaritas (just have to for a Sunday brunch) and they did not disappoint- my favorite was the maracuya one. As for the mains, I had the Benedict crab cakes and my cousin had the enchiladas. We also shared an order of the Brazilian cheesy bread which was really tasty (carbs + cheese, what's not to love)? There was a generous amount of crab given in my main and my cousin's enchiladas had a really nice kick to it. The service here is also lovely- it is a true family business and I hope they'll stick around for generations to come.
I dislike leaving negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my recent experience at Casalote Latin Bistro, where we rented the back area for a sisterhood event. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed and personally disrespected by a staff member who I later learned is the owner's daughter. As an Afro-Latina who presents as African American, I couldn't help but notice a shift in how I was treated compared to others in my group. I ordered the Costillitas Benedicto, which was described as slow-braised short rib, sweet corn arepa, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and maduros. What I received was not as described (see video below): * The eggs were fully cooked, not poached. * The meat resembled ropa vieja (shredded beef), not slow-braised rib with a bone. * The hollandaise sauce was an unexpected orange color and extremely spicy none of which was stated on the menu. Due to all of these issues, I sent the dish back. I was told I could order something else from our prix fixe menu, but I felt so uncomfortable and turned off by the experience that I didn't want to risk another poor or potentially tampered-with dish. Later, I was told I'd still be charged for the original meal I returned. Reluctantly, I agreed to the French toast but asked for the syrup on the side, as another guest had received hers pre-drenched and was unhappy about it. When I approached the waitress with this simple request, she didn't make eye contact, stared at her tablet, and responded curtly: "That's how it comes." I let her know that her tone felt unnecessary, and she replied, "Okay, if you feel like that, beloved." She continued in a passive-aggressive manner, repeating "that was your experience, beloved" without ever looking at me. I then overheard her speaking in Spanish to another guest, saying she would not serve me again. She proceeded to offer that guest a complimentary shot, thanking her for being "a good patron." This entire interaction felt unprofessional, dismissive, and frankly, targeted. The poor food quality, lack of transparency on the menu, and passive hostility from the waitress (especially toward a paying customer who did not present as Latinx) made me feel unwelcome and disrespected. I will not be returning to Casalote and recommend they re-evaluate not only how they present their dishes, but how they treat their guests especially those who don't "look" like the culture they serve.
Overall rating: 4.8 I wish this place was in Brooklyn! It was so far from me. I saw this place pop-up on my for you page and was very excited to try it. It looks very local and the everyone was so friendly. It is a small place and my friend and I probably only got a place because we went on a gloomy Sunday. We actually got the last table around 1pm, so I felt very lucky. We started with the guacamole which oddly was just okay. It was missing some seasoning, but I loved my main meal. IT WAS SO GOOD. My friend got the birreria tacos and I got the Costillas Benedicto Benedict. The Slow braised shredded short ribs were phenomenal and paired with eggs, omg.
I came here Saturday for brunch with reservation for 1pm when we arrived there we're available seats but is good to be safe. I noticed on my way in they have outdoor seating as well with heaters. It was my first time here first impression the place is small not sure how much people it holds but can't be more than 20. The Ambiance is cute and bright they were playing good music some throwbacks. To begin we got the guacamole and chips the guac was fresh and flavorful the only thing it wasn't spicy even tho we asked for spicy. We also got margaritas they were about $14-15 I got the tamarind and my friend got the Maracuya. My drink was flavorful but wayyy to sweet maybe cause tamarindo itself is sweet. I also tried my friends which was passion fruit and I did like that one better. For our next drinks my friend order the same one I went with Mango. The mango margarita with the tamarinn rims was yummy and less sweet compare to the tamarindo. However, we were two drinks in and personally the margaritas weren't as strong for my liking. For food I got the desayuno de rancho and my friend got steak tacos and it was yummy portions was a decent size but I was still hungry after so we got Brazilian cheese bread and that was pretty good. after eating we were not as lit as we wanted to be so we decided to do shots instead since we felt the drinks weren't as strong. We saw mango flights online and wanted to try them they come in 4 and 6 we got a total of 5 shots each! Flights were about $32- $48 although they were tasty I did not find them strong enough considering the price. So we finished off with a shot of 100 anos and it was good. We were somewhat tipsy but after all those shots/drinks I was expecting more. rating the place based on ambiance, music And service we had an overall great time I would probably visit again for happy hour and go straight for the regular shots not flavored to get my moneys worth.
What an excellent lunch. Enough said, but I'll tell you more. They had burrito on the menu, but I didn't see a shrimp one, so I asked and she said no problem. Delicious. It contained fresh shrimp that had first been sautéed in a sauce, perhaps garlic based, then placed within a rice and avocado tortilla. Green sauce available, but I'm a lightweight. Served with homemade french fries, and wonderfully presented as you can see in the picture. It was just the perfect lunch for the right price as well. Washed down with a wonderfully concocted homemade lemonade. Prompt service, flavorful cooking, adorable atmosphere. Go there. You won't be disappointed.
Small, quaint, lots of character, good service, terrific food! We had empanadas, an al pastor taco, and sweet corn arepa, with a drink of mango juice. All were great. The al pastor taco had a lot of flavor. Empanadas were crisp and hot. The arepas were new to us and we'll look for it again. We took a chance going out of way to come here for a light lunch and were not disappointed. Would definitely come back the next time we're in NYC.
Try everything! This Barrio staple has been here for close to 25 years! And it never disappoints. The food is traditionally creative and amazing succulent. The Benedicto was incredible. The pork was juicy the Spanish Hollandaise sauce is seriously finger licking! The hand crafted drinks are well balanced! Don't past this place up.... WOW!!
Wow! Excellent choice for brunch. A group of alumni from Connecticut College gathered for a holiday brunch and this was a perfect setting with beautiful artwork and awesome service. Be prepared for a small space so if you have a large group you will take up the entire restaurant but it is wi detail to feel as if the place is all yours. The orders were taken and the food was freshly prepared and quick. Everything was tasty and not one of our group of 12 had a complaint and instead raved about all their choices and pleased with the quantity of food. I had the Tres Leches pancakes and it was like heaven in my mouth. Wow!! When in NYC again, we will definitely have this place on our frequent frequently list!! Thank you for a wonderful setting for our annual brunch.
I visited with my cousins for a Saturday night dinner and it's definitely a VIBE! We made reservations ahead of time which is highly suggested since the inside is small and then they have outdoor seating too with heaters. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted by the staff and seated. The menu is found on a scannable QR code. My cousin and I started off with a mango margarita as well as the butterfly margarita. Both were flavorful, but not strong enough so the next drink we ordered we made sure it had a punch to it. The waitress suggested the tamarind margarita which was a bit stronger so we were satisfied. For our entrees, my cousins ordered chicken and shrimp fajitas and I ordered the shrimp tacos, french fries and platanos. Everything was flavorful and a nice portion size. As an app, we ordered the guac and chips which was super fresh! One of my top favorite guacs for sure! One of the reasons why my cousin chose this place was for their mango shot flight which you can get 4 or 6. We ordered 4 which was $32. The shots were good but it didn't really taste like liquor, I tasted more of the tamarind. To end our night, we decided to order 2 shots of house tequila for $13 each. Casamigos shots would've been $17 each which is crazy but we're in NY so I expected it. After 3 shots and two drinks each, we didn't feel tipsy at all. Maybe because we have a high tolerance? Or the drinks weren't strong enough. All in all, it was still a good time. The music is great too! Love me my Bad Bunny! Would I be back? Yes! It's a nice spot for a celebrations for sure.
I had a good time coming here for the first time after visiting Museo del Barrio nearby. The service was great, Austin our server took great care of us, he was attentive, kind and 10/10 across the board even spoke a bit of Spanish. The restaurant was left all to ourselves due to the rainy weather, the staff made sure to dim the lights and bring out some table candles for a more intimate vibe. I def would recommend anyone come here and be sure to try the coconut mojito, honestly I thought the creaminess of coconut in a dream would be a night mare but it's by far the best drink I've had this year. I ordered the henny punch and it was ... punching! The food was amazing too, and very cultural, no crumbs were left. I especially love how the empanadas were packed with meat, the chef and team were not greedy like other companies are and the fact that when you took it a bite the empanada wasn't scorching hot, it was in between hot and warm. I ordered the birria taco which I'm surprised, the consomé was packed with FLAVOR, and the taco meat was generous! Honestly best birria taco I've had so far, I've always wondered why is this style taco has been popular since at other restaurants the consomé looks like oil and taste like nothing but this one is for the books! And for the arepa? Taste just like how my fam would make it, it's amazing and the pairing with pickled onions is *chef's kiss*... sweet but also a dash of acidic flavor. I would only give 3 stars on the basis of the menu is MUCH smaller now and this business should've updated that to reflect the present day, majority of the photos are from a larger menu. #2 There is a automatic high % gratitude, and I feel this takes away from genuinely being grateful, even if this place deserves to be tipper on the higher amount. I, myself have tipped past the rate but when it's automatic, it comes off like entitlement. I think it's definitely best lead in confidence in the work you put in. Will return nonetheless to their second spot to try their tres leches pancakes.

JUST GO! In 2019 my bf&I were in search of a brunch spot around the area and decided to walk around. With little hope and energy left, we noticed this hidden gem and gave it a try. Best decision ever. We come here usually on the weekends for dinner and although they've been getting busier these days, they do their best to get you seated right away! For food, we order our usual which is "Mata cuatro and chuleta al pastor" with the delish tampiña mezcal drinks. I mean COME ON, TAMARINDO AND PINEAPPLE, to die for. They have a mix of music so it's always lit and their decor is super cute. Indoors the lights are dim and tables have flowers which also makes it romantic. I'll be coming here forever to support this family owned small business read more

My most favorite place in all of east Harlem. If you want AMAZING MEXICAN FOOD THIS IS YOUR SPOT. It's a family owned and run business and everything from customer care down to the love in every bite of each nacho (which are the best nachos I've ever had in my life) is made with love. I will forever be a customer and supporter till the wheels fall off. read more

Absolutely wonderful food and service, and some incredible flavors tucked in the corner of Spanish Harlem! East Harlem isn't usually a destination where people think of for a food adventure, since when you're in the neighborhood the vibe it gives off is definitely differently from places like the East/West village or Williamsburg for instance. But I am so glad that we stumbled upon this family owned restaurant that served some incredible, authentic Mexican food on the corner of 103rd and 2nd avenue. Came here at 11am on a Sunday for brunch in a party of 2, and we were the only table that was served for that particular morning. I ordered the Cascalote Burger ($20 - this is INCREDIBLE) and my brother ordered the Eggs benedict ($20). Total bill came to ~$50 tax and tip included. For a start the burger - I must say I've had a lot of burgers in NYC, and this burger ranks as one of the top three that I've ever had in NYC. The potato buns were nicely toasted, with a thick beef patty cooked medium rare that was seasoned with a lot of Mexican spices, so it really brought out the meaty flavor of the patty. In the burger, they had a really thick chipotle aioli, slices of avocado, melted cheese, and seared onions which really added more flavor to the burgers. Oh, and this thing was pretty big, I was so full after finishing just the burger! What an incredible fusion approach to a burger, and I think if I am craving for a burger I have my spot at Cascalote now! My brother also enjoyed his eggs Benedict, and highly complimented the sauce and the carne asada that it came with. This place is incredible, and I hope low key family places like Cascalote can deserve the attention because they serve some incredible food, and I hope with more restaurants like Cascalote they lead East Harlem into the next food mecca of NYC! read more

Cascalote has easily become one of my go-to restaurants. Their food and drinks never disappoint. This is the perfect place for date night or dinner with the entire family! My husband and I love everything on the menu, but if I had to choose they'd be: Apps: - guac & chips (they offer mild, medium, or spicy) - Brazilian cheese bread (so cheesy) - nachos (so filling) Dinner: - the salmon (so juicy) - chuleta Al pastor (pineapple jam pairs perfectly with the chuleta) Drinks: - Coconut mojito - Mango Margarita - henny punch - Horchata (it's perfectly sweet) You won't regret coming here! read more

GREAT PLACE TO EAT AND DRINK WITH FRIENDS / FAMILY! Andddddddd GREAT MUSIC! Came here for my boyfriends birthday. Our party was extreeeemely late so the waitresses noticed we were upset and were so kind to give us a shot on the house! They were even patient with us / didn't get upset when our party showed up late an hour later. My favorites from the food we got: THE CALAMARI! The CHULETA AL PASTOR! The calamari comes with a delicious green cilantro dressing and the chuleta al pastor comes with this pineapple jam. The servings were very generous. My leftovers were still yummy the next day! I would recommend RESERVATIONS on a weeekend only because the place is on the smaller side inside. Definitely worth the trip and would definitely come back :) the service & the food were so amazing! read more
Met a friend here as I was in the area. A small and cosy restaurant with great service. The restaurant fits about 20-25 people and we were lucky enough to get a table for 5 with no prior reservation. We tried out a couple of mains from their menu - burger, huevos rancheros, their daily chorizo special and a side of Brussels Sprouts with chorizo. All were delicious and we finished it all. The chorizo was so nice and spicy, I would definitely order it again. The food took awhile to come out however the restaurant was basically almost full when we were there. I also tried their coconut mojito. A little bit on the sweet side but it was nice and enjoyable. Three mains, a side and 4 drinks came at $140 for the table which wasn't too bad. The place might not be stroller friendly unless you have one of those collapsible ones as space is a bit tight. read more

Terrible service, I would never go back because is not the first time, waitress extremely rude, not cheap to be treated like that. They won't last long unless they change waiting people. How dare you turning it around instead of apologizing and train your rude waitress. Luckily is not the only place around to eat. After all the support during the pandemic your staff should be glad people come to your place, enough is enough I won't support neither tolerate rude waitresses. Your loss because we have recommended this place to many people but won't tolerate rudeness and twice is enough. Good luck I won't be ordering either from this place, and to blame your customers for your bad attitude and service shows your lack of appreciation for the support and money spent there. A real shame because I used to go there a lot when they had better waitresses. Nunca más! read more

Starting with the bad! We Ordered 2 mango margaritas, according to there menu it's listed as "Fresh Mango Puree, Tequila Reposado, Agave Néctar, Fresh Lime Juice" No where does it say "tajin" spice on the rim. We refused both drinks as spice wasn't our thing and it was already cross contaminated. The Manager asked if she can strain the drink and return it.....we kindly refused and requested a classic margarita. To our shock the mango margaritas were on the bill totaling 28$. We requested the manager and she responded with "once the drinks touch the table they are no refunds" after 5mins of back and fourth the drinks were taken off. Totally unacceptable. We spent over 350$ mind you. The Service is the reason I gotta give 2 stars and not more, the waiter once we were sat and the order was taken she only came to check on us 1 time. We had a item charged to our bill that we never received, it was fixed but only after a rather rude discussion. Definitely felt like because gratuity was included that the service was not needed. Food was great, but little portions and 34$ for carne asada 12oz skirt steak with quarter sized tostonas (about7 pieces) isn't really worth it in my opinion. The lunch special Bistic with sautéed onions was really good $25 with a large portion of rice and beans. Due to the unprofessionalism, I won't be returning. read more
