Here is how it went : They have hooks to hang your bag and outlets to charge your phone at the bar and that's always a plus. The place I very cute and well decorated, the frozen margaritas are awesome and they have a big variety of flavors to choose from . The food was absolutely fantastic BUT... yes there is a but . Service at the bar wasn't really very good , the bartender wasn't exactly the friendliest and that is always disappointing. The other thing is they don't offer chips or anything to pick on while you wait for your food :( aside from that it was good and we will probably go back at some point , just hope they fix the bartender issue . She could definitely use more training on customer service .

I came in for the first time last Friday night, it wasn't busy and my party of 8 was able to get…read moresat right away. The place was on the smaller side I'd say but it was not cramped at all, everything was laid out nicely. For drinks I had the sangria, a coconut and mango Margarita. All were super delicious considering I'm extremely picky with my drinks as I am a bartender myself. For food I had the Salmon Al Limón and I was truly blown away at how much I enjoyed it. The salmon was not fishy at all and the lemon sauce added such a wonderful taste. My family also all enjoyed their food, no complaints. The server was very attentive, always made sure the table was clean, he may have been a little overbearing at times he was only trying to do his job well and everything came out perfect! Overall I rate it a 10/10

Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar is a great option if you're looking for a sit-down spot for pupusas. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised that the pupusas were still reasonably priced for a full-service restaurant and bar, at around $4 each. They offer a good variety of fillings. My favorite was the jalapeño and cheese, which have a nice kick to them. The yuca frita was crispy but not oily, and made for a great appetizer before the pupusas. We came during happy hour and took advantage of the drink specials. The red sangria and margaritas were only $8 a glass and they were both strong and tasty, though I preferred the sangria slightly more. The music at Salvatoria was great and made for a nice atmosphere, with current Latino hits playing in the background. My only note, and it's minor, is that the curtido wasn't as good as I've had at other places. They do give you a good amount, but it lacked some of the crunch and acidity that a great curtido needs to balance out the pupusas. Overall, Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar delivers on food, value, and atmosphere. The bill for four pupusas, two drinks, and an order of yuca frita came out to just $45 before tip.

I was already kind of full but the entrees we got were also very delicious. I wish I knew how to cook fish or chicken that juicy but keeping the outside crunchy-crispy. 10/10 for all the food. Idk why but the music was so upbeat and it kept me feel rushed for some reason but that might be just me! Haha The service was great, the water kept getting filled and they were very attentive. Would definitely come back again!

It was dimly lit, they had live music, and the food was delicious. The servers were attentive as well. They offered a "valentine's dinner for two" menu for $150 which was a great deal, but we opted to order off of the menu. We both enjoyed the calamari and variety croquettes as appetizers. We got the Churrasco #2 which came with a ton of meats, all cooked perfectly. The sausage was my favorite- SO flavorful. We'll have leftovers for days. We enjoyed the rice and black beans as well. We wish we had room to try dessert!

Esthetically beautiful in the inside and well decorated Liz they highlight their achievements and accolades on some of the walls and it is well deserved. Staff was incredibly friendly and offered recommendations which was much needed because their menu is extensive with various sections. Since it was our first time having Ecuadorian food, the guidance was much appreciated. Food came out in a timely fashion and everything tasted delicious. Started out with calamari and tostones. Both were incredible and a great way to start off our Ecuadorian experience. We also had pork tacos which were packed with meat that was tender. We tried the Chaulafan, a stir fry of rice, shrimp, beef, veggies, eggs, plantain and additional ingredients- all of which came to gather to add savoriness and sweetness. Lastly we had the Churrasco which was steak with rice, eggs and avocado - seasoned soo well. We enjoyed everything we had and told everyone we know about Leticia's!

Do not skip the rice and frijoles, the mango salad, or the potato salad, which is a full-on gastronomic delight and somehow tastes like someone's Brazilian aunt put her soul into it. The cocktails are another highlight. My wife had three and every single one landed. Big kudos to the bartender because that bar program is doing serious work. Dessert also deserves applause. The Brazilian cookie cake and passion fruit options are stunning, bright, and joyful, the kind of sweets that make you pause mid-conversation and nod in respect. Where things falter is the rodizio itself. The meat selection felt limited, and the quality just did not hit the mark for me. The restaurant recently transitioned from offering both traditional and halal meats to becoming fully halal, which I understand from a business and community standpoint. That said, as someone who grew up with a wide range of meat preparations, I can confidently say there is a noticeable flavor profile difference, and here it came across as flatter and less indulgent than expected. It felt like ordering a sports car and realizing it tops out at second gear. At around $150 for two with drinks, I wanted that wow factor, and it never quite arrived. For context, I enjoy places like Fogo de Chão, though I admit they sometimes overdo it on the salt. Still, I miss things like Brazilian pork sausage and pork bacon, which you will not find here due to halal certification. That absence is felt, especially for carnivores chasing that classic churrascaria experience. Would I come back? I'm honestly undecided. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who eats halal or prioritizes cocktails, desserts, and an excellent salad bar. For hardcore meat lovers, it may feel like a great playlist played at half volume.

She let us pick the table of our choosing and handed our menus immediately. Since we already ordered from this restaurant many times for delivery we already knew that we wanted to try the puttanesca in person. No shocking it was absolutely delicious! we ordered it medium well with rice and french fries. (The meal comes with rice, beans and your choice of French fries, tostones or yuca frita) For drinks we both got fruit drinks which were so tasty! I've tried a lot of mora con leches around Jackson heights but this one stands out for sure. They make it with the right consistency, flavor, not too sugary, and not too milky! I definitely wanna come back here and try more options!

Crucially, it wasn't too loud, so you could actually enjoy the music and still hold a conversation. Our waitress was wonderful and polite even though she missed and item from our order. The absolute highlight was the Maduros (yellow plantains with cheese) appetizer, it was excellent, perfectly sweet, and savory. We also tried the ceviche which was fresh, but actually lacked salt. It was fine by us since it's easy enough to just add salt at the table and adjust it to your own taste. I also enjoy a passion fruit shake. I would give this restaurant a rating of 3.9
