Overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. We came here for my sisters birthday and despite having a…read morereservation we still had to wait about 20-30mins to get seated bc our table "wasn't ready" once we were sat the service was super slow and all over the place. We were a table of 8 and drinks came out at random times despite all of us ordering together as well as the appetizers. For my meal I ordered the salmon and it was undercooked and extremely oily, so much so that the skin was soggy and just a mess. Then they try to upsell on everything, coming around the tables asking us if we wanted to pay $10 to break a plate, there was supposed to be a show and that didn't happen, overall, it was overpriced bad food, so much so, I ended up stopping at McDonald's on the way home bc there was no way I was eating that salmon. As for the vibe, everyone was dressed up as if they were going to a super fancy place. I didn't dress up because LOL, it's city island yall....

This is a great spot to chill out after a day of sailing. But of course you have to be a member of…read morethe club or know someone who is! I took a little sail out with friends/coworkers and settled back in with a nice lunch at the club house. The location has a beautiful view of the water and a great place to relax in the hot sun. Where the dock is located, it is easy to get to your boat and ride out! Of course given that you are with experienced people who have been sailing for years. What I had for lunch: Lamb burger -Excellent flavor!! Made to perfection and cooked medium rare just how I like it. -They spread a hint of blue cheese, which compliments the juicy taste they falls into your mouth when you bite into it. -I also love that they serviced in on a wooden pig, super cute I hope I could come out here again!

The restaurant is pretty unassuming compared to the other restaurants on the island - I actually drove right past it. They don't have a parking lot but street parking wasn't too hard to find. On Wednesdays they have bar specials $6 Sangria and $20 shrimp and fries. I ordered both.....actually I ordered 3 Sangrias they were THAT good. The shrimp and fries were good as well. You get about six shrimp and the fries were actual potatoes cut into wedges. I would have preferred either more shrimps or larger shrimps and less fries but they were good. The draw on Wednesday nights is karaoke. It was ALOT of fun and it gets crowded so be prepared to put your name on the list and wait to sing your song. Overall it was a fun evening and I would definitely go back.

We love…read morebeing able to take a quick walk over for some bites and cocktails because the vibes are great and the hospitality is always on point. I'm also happy to report that their happy hour, though still in its early stages, is shaping up to be a solid way to give them a try. We ordered the mussels frites, fish sliders, crab bites, Brussels sprouts, and the pretzel with cheese. The absolute standouts were the fish sliders and the mussels in wine sauce. We usually get the fish and chips and mussels from the regular menu, so we had a feeling these would be the winners and they were. I'd 100% recommend both plates. We ended up ordering two rounds of fish sliders so that should say it all! :) The Brussels sprouts were roasted and simply prepared, which I really appreciated. I'm honestly over seeing fried Brussels on every menu, they're rarely that good and oily. If I could tweak anything, I'd add a sauce or drizzle for a little extra dimension, maybe balsamic or a sweet chili dip. Still, I'd absolutely order them again; they make for a great, lighter snack or side. The pretzel was pretty standard, but I liked that it didn't come salted since the cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning. It came out piping hot and stayed that way until the very last bite.  The crab bites were just okay for me. The sauce they come with is tasty, but I wish there was a little more flavor mixed into the crab itself, maybe some onions, peppers or herbs. However, they're not bad at all; they're full of crab meat and overall really solid. If you prefer a simpler flavor profile, you'll probably love them, especially with a squeeze of fresh lemon. We genuinely love Dakota's, and we'll keep coming back to enjoy the views and the great service. It's been nice seeing them evolve into a true neighborhood staple with all the events they've been hosting. Right now they're even running a toy drive, and they have toys available on site that you can purchase and drop directly into the donation box. Such a clever and thoughtful touch.  It's also worth mentioning that they're in full holiday mode right now, with decorations throughout the space. Whether you just want to soak up the festive atmosphere or snap a cute picture by the tree, they've got you covered.

Sadly this place is one of the only open on the island after hours... for now…read more My burger and calamari were ordered over the phone. I was given a 20 min eta. It took a little longer than 20 but it was nominal. The calamari came unseasoned with tartar and not marinara sauce... im sorry did I order crab cakes? Also have you ever heard of old bay? If you're not a fan of seasoning don't serve food that demands it. My 6 year old can handle that one The burger was obviously from the freezer and not fresh. It was warmed. Not cooked. Do you know how hard it is to serve a frozen patty still raw? That takes talent. Thankfully I saw it before I got too far into it. I ordered the "Wayne" burger. I guess it was meant to come partially raw with raw accoutrements. The fries... well they're on par with the rest. Soggy, raw and... not worth the order. Maybe I'll try to feed this to my dog... Actually I won't. He deserves better.

The walls are covered with nautical themed items, animals and fish which is so fitting for the beachy town the bar is located in. We were served right away when we pulled up a chair at the bar and they had angry orchard which is my favorite cider so that immediately made me happy. What I really liked was that there was an ATM which is super convenient. They also had phone chargers at the bar which is something that is so important but that is not seen very often. The bar was fully stocked and they have a TouchTunes jukebox which doubles as a free photo booth that emails photos directly to you. I feel lucky to have a clean, stocked and spacious bar a few blocks away. Will deff be back.

My friends and i were able to plan ahead thanks to that call and parked and walked over. My brunch reservation was for 2:15pm. Now once we came in, we were seated fast. One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes. Love the way they sing happy birthday with a whole party and bubbles. Overall great experience for a bday brunch no complaints. I will def be back for brunch and dinner for sure.

The vibes were amazing from start to finish: great music (major shoutout to the DJ), perfect lighting, and a lively, fun atmosphere that made the night feel special. The food was fantastic and the portions were huge -- seriously, two or three people could've eaten from my plate alone. I ordered the pernil with rice and beans, plus a variety appetizer platter. The pork was juicy (though I do wish the skin was a little crispier), the beans were flavorful, and both the garlic and chimichurri sauces were top-notch. The potato salad was okay, but overall, the meal delivered big flavor and big portions. Since it was my birthday, the team surprised me with a birthday flan and tres leches dessert plate that the restaurant provided. It was the perfect ending -- sweet, creamy, and delicious. The birthday celebration itself was incredible; you truly feel like a superstar. Between the LED signs, the DJ shoutouts, and your name flashing across the booth screen, the energy was unmatched. The drinks were just okay, nothing to write home about, but they got the job done. The only other downsides were the limited parking (especially at night) and the two-hour time limit for our party of ten. Still, it was a fantastic night overall. Great food, great vibes, and a truly fun experience. I'd highly recommend Made in Puerto Rico for birthdays, team outings, or anyone looking for flavorful food and an energetic atmosphere.

When we entered, we were greeted with kind smiles from the ladies and they welcomed us to sit at any free table. Inside has lots of decor with ample seating. We sat and a server grabbed us menus. We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good! It was my first time trying it and it reminded me of aloe vera/okra texture. I had such a great time, such a great experience, I will definitely be back!

They have options for dining in or taking out and were quite efficient We went with a burrito and a few tacos - the burrito is massive, I would say it's meant for two people at once and filled with rice, meat, vegetables, thick flour tortilla and covered with different sauces - it is very heavy! The tacos are Mexican-style with meat and vegetarian options and were simply delicious. The meats we got - carnitas, steak, chicken were all cooked great with tender juiciness. They gave ample lime and sauces to pair as needed. Prices felt reasonable. Overall taqueria tlaxcalli had exceptional Mexican food for NYC with very good hospitality and dining options and I highly recommend! The tacos were a tier above my favorite NYC tacos - Santos, Los tacos no 1 and carnitas Ramirez.
