Chifles, I had you bookmarked for a while and I was super excited to try this place and I guess I'm content with my experience. I know it's sounds confusing but I just don't know how I feel about this place. I guess I'll break it down: Location: I guess this is my least favorite part, right on Roosevelt Ave and 95th Street, parking is a pain and this area just gives me anxiety Food: We ordered happy hours drinks for $5, my sister got a passion fruit mojito which was AMAZING but my passion fruit margarita was not good at all, in fact I took one sip and just left it there. For meals I have the patacón which is made with plantain, sautéed steak, avocado and and sweet plantains! This was the highlight of our meal. We also ordered the skirt steak with rice and beans and it comes with a salad. The steak was cooked to perfection but was a little too salty for me. The rice and beans arrived cold at the table. We also ordered a side of sweet plantain with cheese, this was good. Service: the service was weird, we first had a guy server then a woman took out order, then she disappeared and the guy took over again. Service was: confusing Ambiance: it's just a weird place, not sure if it's a bakery, or dinner or restaurant, I just couldn't figure it out and I wanted to Overall, I'll def come back for the patacón and a passion fruit mojito if I happen to be in The area. Our bill was $58 which included a 15 percent Trip! We added a little extra to make it 20 percent though!
Great customer service, got the Peruvian ceviche and avocado salad. To drink I got the mango margarita. For the price I wanted more motet in the ceviche or more choclo. The drink was strong and refreshing. The avocado salad was filling as well, great portions. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. Outdoor and indoor dining options.
First time eating there. Friendly staff. Clean environment. Excellent service. Food is amazing and price is reasonable.
Servicio no tan agradable, tampoco desagradable. la comida normal. La tripa muy suave medio rara. La espera súper larga, solo para q nos atienda tomaron 30 minutos para tomar los pedidos, mas la espera de q sirvan fue casi 1 hora en total. Creo que tampoco tienen calefacción por lo que la comida se enfrio rapido y hacia mucho frio. Lo demas normal, esperaba mas por toda la publicidad que vi en instagram y me llamo la atencion y precio medio caro para algo muy simple $22 de la pechuga $24 la tripa.
Seafood Soup- presentation was great. Generous with the seafood. However soup was a little bland. Fried seafood platter- (forgot the actual name on the menu). Portion was great and the sauce I believe tartar sauce made everything taste better. The platter included mussels, shrimps, calamari, yuca and red onions. Wished it was fried more crispy, when it arrived it seemed like it was sitting out for a bit. Also got the Michelada and kiwi cocktail. Definitely taste the tequila in the cocktail but I wouldn't personally get the Michelada again- quite spicy. Overall great music and the sweet bread smell (they have a bakery in there as well) captivated me but I probably won't return.
This place is located on a very busy corner which means parking can be challenging. From the outside, you would think it's a big place, but it's relatively small once you go inside. Service was amazing. You get greeted the minute you walk in, and are asked where do you prefer to sit. The food orders are taken by what it seems like small iPads, so swapping or exchanging one item for another can become difficult. Here's what I mean: there's a dish on the menu listed as quarter chicken with chaufa. My bf wanted this dish, but with half of chicken. Waitress advised she couldn't change because it wasn't listed. We had to order a quarter of chicken as a separate order instead. They have a colorful picture menu which makes it easier to pick or decide what to eat. Their drinks selection is not as big, but you can select from margaritas, sangrias and mojitos. This place has about five big screen TVs, for those sport fans. The food didn't take long to arrive, and temp was on point. They served chiflez(thinly sliced fried green plantains) with some salsa, on the house. We ordered as appetizer, camarones(shrimps) with guacamole served inside green plantains hand made cup shape. These were good, but the guac could've used some salt. The main courses were: the quarter chicken with chaufa and mine was trucha with rice, salad and more chiflez. As I mentioned before, the temp, taste and portions were all good. If you are really hungry, the portion may be on the small side. I appreciated that I wasn't rushed after I finished my meal. In fact, I had to ask for the bill. They have a coffee section, including a cappuccino maker, but I didn't try it. They have two bathrooms, one for men and the other for female. Overall, good ambiance, food and service can only mean one thing, I'm coming back.
Definitely one of the most authentic Latin American restaurants in Jackson Heights for not just one type of cuisine but a few: Venezuelan, Colombian, Peruvian and maybe I'm missing one or two but hey it's so damn good here. I think if I spoke better Spanish my experience could be even better haha. I'm happy the menu has pictures lol even though there are descriptions yet I still have no idea what they are. I always come here with my boyfriend who is also Peruvian and he loved the food as well. Usually we order too much and can't finish because we get too excited lol. They have strong drinks with a cheap happy hour, and when I say cheap I mean cheap! Not Manhattan cheap, Queens cheap, which kicks ass and it's bang for your buck. If you're in Manhattan it's worth the trip to hop on the 7 train to go there. It's less than 3mins walk from the train. Oh yea, back to the drinks- delicious, crafty, some served in mason jars with fun flavors like tamarind, pomegranate and your classics. It's kid friendly as well, so don't worry about that. There are a few TVs usually playing sports games in the background. The service is prompt, friendly and bilingual!
Came here for the first time last Wednesday and we loved it and tonight we came back for the happy hour that we missed last time. Highly Recommend: *Passion fruit frozen slushie margarita (Happy Hour ends at 7pm) *Seco de chivo (goat stew, and it's better than the food trucks nearby) *The tostones with guacamole *#2 fries with different sausages We had Viviana both times, tho she struggles to communicate in English with us, but she really tries ...Like no joke, genuine efforts to make it work, body sign language and all, instead of pawning us off on someone else; we loved her for that, she has a great friendly personality too!
The entrance of the restaurant is a bit confusing as the awning has a share name of BAKERY then the restaurant's name. The guy host seated us at a booth and he's the only one that spoke English as the servers spoke in Espanol. Good thing all that Spanish classes came in handy to put in our orders and communicate with the servers =) Drinks: Andrea G: Ginger Ale Me: Pasion de Mango Jugo (mine)...very yummy and fulfilling Sharing: Empanada con queso...definitely need to be stuffed with more cheese Entree: Andrea G: Filete...Frito style con arroz, ensalada, y tostones - very fulfilling Me: 1/2 Pollo a la Brasa con arroz, papa frita, maduros, y huevo frito - holy moly everything but the rice tasted so delicious along with the 3 dipping sauces. I love mixing the green and the pink together mmmmm Definitely a very delicious Latin American spot =)
Came her last night for dinner with my friend Anna H. Although you can just point to the menu it does help to be able to speak a little spanish. The food was delicious. I had the fried fish #72, with a ginget ale. Anna had the 1/4 chicken #27 with a pasion de mango juice. We shared an empanada con queso which couldve used more cheese. Overall the service was excellent and prices were very good. Would def come back again
Cuisine: 7 Service: 6 Decor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 7 My buddy said this restaurant has been around, but for some reason, he has never tried it. Therefore, three of us came here for lunch the other day. We shared an appetizer and a couple of the lunch specials. I thought the grilled fish that came with chicken soup, rice and beans, salad, and maduro was an excellent deal for $15. The fish was seared nicely and tasted extremely moist. Wish I knew what fish it was, but I suspect it's some type of flaky white fish. I would definitely come back for this dish again. Beef fried rice was not bad, but a bit boring. Lots of sesame oil was clearly used, while the beef was pretty tough. Not my thing. Btw, the Guacamole was very fresh, served with fried plantain chips. The prices are inexpensive and the food is pretty good. I'll definitely return to try more of their menu, especially the lunch specials. read more

First time at Chiflez and it did not disappoint. I wasn't sure about coming here because I read some of the negative reviews but decided to come anyway and so glad I did! Our waitress Jil was super attentive and sweet- not just her but all of the waitstaff continued to check on us to see if we needed anything. We ordered food for the kids and it came out right away. Order was big enough for my kids to share. They got the grilled chicken, rice, beans, maduros and fries (freshly cut fries ). I ordered the bolon mixto- so fresh and crispy! I also had the seafood soup it was delicious. My husband had the red snapper he enjoyed that as well. We also ordered the cow feet soup. Everything was really good especially the drinks! I highly recommend chiflez! read more

1st off the Passion Pisco garnished with a dusting of cinnamon was refreshing and had just enough egg whites. The tostones crispy with fresh guacamole amazing, chicken tamale very typical. Lomo saltado best I have ever had. The lava cake dessert was a great ending to a meal served with care by an attentive kind waitresse. Will definitely be back. read more

Before going to the Mets game my boyfriend and I wanted to explore a little outside Citifield on Junction Boulevard and came across this gem! We ordered everything at once including drinks and asked to get the appetizers before our entrees. Our waitress brought us plantain chips with ahi sauce. The green ahi sauce was filled with so much flavor! It had a little heat to it but not too bad. We put that ahi sauce on everything. My only complaint was that we were never served water. We were served our pitcher of a fruity pisco drink with our meal which was a bit of a wait. The drink was good, I love the pineapple and strawberries that soaked up the liquor. We got 2 appetizers - 2 delicious arepas (one with carne asada and another with a sweet plantain, avocado and other deliciousness) and shrimp with guacamole in a mashed plantain. Both were AMAZING starters and I recommend them! As an entree we shared the Colombian platter which included steak, tostones and yuca. The chimichurri sauce was just so flavorful that we asked for a second serving. The prices were very reasonable also. Overall, I fell in love with the food here and I would return! I wish there was a restaurant like this in my neck of the woods! read more

This place is a little confusing. I love the service. Loved the food. The place is small and is in between a bakery and a restaurant so you can sit down with your family and eat and also watch other people come in to order from the bakery. I think this place would be amazing on its own as a restaurant and that is all. The plates are affordable ($14-$22) Food is worth it Service is amazing Place is just odd. Wouldn't come here on a date or for a special day but when I'm casually looking for a good place to eat. read more

Great and delicious food, I tried the Guatita which is cow stomach, a traditional Ecuadorian plate, and the bolón mixto. I tried the batido de mora and tomate de árbol as well. The service was good. The only thing that I will suggest to change is the gratuity added. I understand that parties of 3or more get added the tip. But i was by myself and my bill had the grat added anyway. I usually tip 30% and above but for that I tipped 20% read more

Now, 3 years later, things have changed. They still make the best tostones. Their fish is fresh and tasty. Steak too, though my son had this. But they have new management and they are trying to save money. Chiflez means plantain chips. They always gave diners a glorious and delicious amount of chiflez in a wire basket. Now, they give a much smaller serving that is also mixed with some stale corn chips. Come on management. Ya gotta do better, especially cuz the place is named Chiflez! This is disappointing and sad. It mars what used to be a perfect dining experience. Oh, bring back back las senioritas servers. They were very nice and attentive. Not what you have now. read more
