Cheese empanada
Margaret S.

We love LOVE love this place! It is conveniently right across the street from the 46st train station on the r and m train. I try to at least go every Wednesday for their sopa de colla if not their empanadas and bolons are bomb. Every day of the week they have a different soup and they're all so good but the sopa de colla is EVERYTHING! They renovated last year and the new layout is very cozy and welcoming! The service is amazing! Allison is so nice, sweet and very patient with everyone. There is definitely a dish for everyone! See you next week.

Mini bandeja paisa (left out the steak, no karne)

Best hole in the wall. No frills, no fuss -- Latin food cooked by tias! Husband and I found this quaint location by accident, and as we are chicharron lovers, we tried it. The best Latin food so far, and we've tried a few (along Ditmars and Steinway) and this trumps them all.

Cheese Empanada ($1.25) delicious!

I've been here a few times over the last 10ish years. They were good experiences. Service was good the last time we went. I dont remember the other times. The chivito paradilla (grilled platter) has beef steak, chicken, rolled veal (pork slice), sausage, and blood sausage. The blood sausage had alot of fatty pieces. It was not memorable but the steak was good! There was short ribs there too. I am not sure if that is part of the "beef steak". Chimichurri sauce is fantastic. Some of the meats like the chicken was a bit dry, but its a nice combo platter to try out if you have been. It comes with 2 sides of your choice. The rice and beans and tostones are good options but ive seen people get French fries and potato salad as well! Lots of people still go to this Uruguan place even tho there are a few places on the blocks doing the same thing. This is the more popular one thats been in news/food blogs. I will try other combos next time without the blood sausage, but its a cool experience!

We split the combo #4 (short rib, skirt steak, chorizo) with salad and some wine. The steak was good, extremely worth its price point. The short rib was OK, but the chorizo was fantastic. The sauces, bread, and salad were also good. The grill flavor is fantastic but definitely not the pinnacle of steak. But that's not all you're here for! Definitely a great spot if you want a fun vibe and affordable good steak.

This is the spot…read more This is the spot for a huge platter of delicious Colombian food, perhaps before you go dance it off at the nearby Knockdown Center. I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.
