    All of the food was amazing. We went with the Chef's Menu which was a selection of 6 tapas and a…read morepaella of your choice. We asked that they include the croquettes among the tapas and we chose the squid ink paella. The croquettes, pork, brussel sprouts, and potato were all perfect and exceptional. The tees leches cake was perfectly moist and not overly sweet as well. I wish there was a little more seafood in the paella l, but the taste was still amazing. The bruschetta and asparagus were delicious, but left something to be desired compared to the other dishes. The bartender was amazing (we sat at the bar), but very busy, so service was a little slow.

I was greeted greatly, even with only a few minutes before last call for dinner service. The server and the bartender was reallt friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. Gave me really great options. For food I had the Spanish Olives, Pop a La Pedra, & the Croquetes Del Dia(made fresh every day and changes as well). I had a old fashion to drink, needed something that will warm me up for the cold weather. The ambiance was cute, and chic. You can tell that the workers run it like a little food family and I love that the most about El Born. Will definitely come again ans try out their brunch , heard it was amazing.

    One of the most creative and cool coffee-boozy bars in Brooklyn! Even if you are not a fan of…read morecoffeehouses with booze options, it's worth stopping by to soak in the vibe. There is local artwork on the wall (for sale if that is your goal), there are dozens of seats between couches, tables and even an old wooden desk from the 1930's. There's also a great outdoor patio with some covered tables and chairs. Effortless cool, this is it. Coffee: 5/5. We had the espresso and cortado. Both were rich and dark, and came in a nice porcelain cup. We appreciate the small touches, because coffee in paper cups is just not as tasty. Ambiance: 5/5. The decor is perfect for creative types looking for remote work locations. Plush couches, small high top tables with bankers lights, and a few long coffee tables makes this place ideal for work or socializing. The noise level on a Sunday afternoon was muted, but it might be louder during weekdays. Value: 5/5. The prices are well below market value for Greenpoint, about $1-$2 less than other coffee bars. And they have so many mocktails under $10! Wow it's like 2018 in here!

Cozy couches, nice indoor tables, comfortable outdoor tables too. The coffee was rich and smooth. Not sure who their roaster is, but my latter was a nice full bodied blend. It really hit the spot. My wife likes her lattes with some spice and not every place can meet that request. Red Rover had cayenne which they sprinkled on her latte and for her it was just the right mix. Not too spicy but not wimpy either. Red Ricer is worth a visit if you want great coffee served with a warm coffee house vibe.

Overall, the a la carte menu is pretty small, so definitely check it out before you commit to eating here. Pineapple pork fried rice - Aside from the hollowed out pineapple that it came in, the presentation was a little weak (mostly rice, and very small pieces of toppings). The rice lacked color, which ultimately, did make the dish lean on the bland side. I did not think it had enough wok hei (flavor and aroma that comes from being cooked on a wok). We did like that the pork was lap Cheong (Chinese sausage) 3/5 Heritage 5 spice ribs - This was the only winner. Excellent flavor. 4/5 Pork Croqueta Banh mi - Despite the restaurant being Mexican Vietnamese fusion, we were pretty surprised to receive the sandwich that we did. It was pretty different from a traditional banh mi except for the veggies. I was not a fan of the sesame seed bun. The pork croqueta was ok but not wow in any way. 2/5 The restaurant is a bit out of the way. Easy to find parking because there's nothing else around.
