    They didn't cook the chicken well

    I order a lunch special and I received the order and went home. To my surprise I broke the chicken piece to find out it wasn't well cooked

    Omg! A ton of food! Can't remember what it's called but it was great!

    Sometimes they are messing it up but the food is great and if your hunger is level 10 or above, it's plenty of food on the plate to feed a bear! El Cornito rocks! :)

    I happened to be searching nearby for Peruvian food and came across Bravazo. While i thought it was…read morea new spot, this pkace hs been opened for a while. We decided to order a 1/2 of rotisserie Peruvian chicken- chicken only ($10). Ceviche clasico ($20) and a side order of plantains ($6) and a bottle of my favorite Peruvian beer cusqueña ($6). We sat down about 6:30pm, the restaurant was relatively empty, seems like ther take out business was moving. We kept noticing people just coming from the outside to use the restroom. Food service was very quick, we noticed the rotisserie chicken breast was a bit dry, the leg and tight seem moist. The tostones were perfectly fried, the ceviches was fine nothing special. The typical green sauce was set in the table and it paired well with the chicken, tostones and ceviche. Overall the menu seems difficult to understand prices. Menu has family meals, and meals that are protein only such as the chicken i ordered. But in my opinion this is confusing, maybe family meals work when you have 4 or more people but for 2, its too much food. Psrking was difficult, when the bill came, the tip is automatically added onto the bill, while i dont have a problem tipping, they should tell you that from the beginning and not just add it to the bill automatically. When the server gave me the bill, they had also made a mistake to charge me for tap water. I went to the counter and i asked why there was a$2 charge for water and they told me it was a mistakebut neither the server or the person ringing the bill caught it, until i told them. I definitely had better Peruvian food but as a last minute decision we ate here because we were visiting my family nearby. I normally goto to Long Island, Ocenaside to eat at Ananau, now this joint the service, ambiance and the food is definitely 5 star. Bravazo did not feel like s restaurant ambiance, felt like a take spot. Dont get me wrong, the server was very nice but i wouldn't come back. While my wife was washing her hands in the restroom, some guy off the street who was not a customer came in loud, and started to bang on the door of the restroom. Nobody in management or even the servers said anything to him, weird situation and what was more disturbing was that he was hanging out at the pizza place next door. During our dinner, i notice people from the pizza place where coming in to use the restrooms in the restaurant.-totally weird.

    Good food only be sure to tell the lady deliver for fresh chicken . The aji de gallina pretty good…read morethe como salteado good,the lunch special pretty good.courteous nice in the phone

    I've been searching for a chicharrones spot in NYC for a long time and I'm glad I finally found a…read morespot in Flushing! I got the chicharrones with rice and beans and potato salad (comes with half an avocado). Every aspect of the meal was delicious. The pork was perfectly crispy, the rice was soft and delicious. The beans also paired perfectly with the rice. The staff was also super sweet and friendly. I would definitely come back for more and for breakfast. I saw a lot of New York breakfast friendly options on the menu for a very reasonable price. They take cash, credit card, and apple pay!

    Came in for lunch. We tried the platano soup and a bandeja tipica. The soup is a beef base broth…read morevery flavorful, with little chunks of beef, potatoes and a big piece of plantain kind of like plantain dumpling. Very good soup, we ask for a small as we had no idea what to expect. The bandeja tipica is $21. For the price you get rice and beans with avocado, a fried egg, longaniza, thinly pounded steak, a piece of sweet plantain and chicharron. We asked for some of the home made hot sauce and we got a some slightly picant vinaigrette that had cilantro and onions, very good bit no spice for my taste buds. However the meal is good enough to feed 2 hungry souls. My wife and i were very stuffed. We noticed they advertised mondongo soup but that is only on Sunday and Wednesday, so we will jave to come back and try it for sure. Our server Maria was very cordial, attentive and friendly. Definitely a new spot to enjoy Spanish food.

Mango shake w milk , good as well. Appetizers we had some Empanadas they were very good. Main dish I had the Steak a caballo , I asked for no onions & they forget not a big deal but man was it a lottt of onions, very good steak nice tasting , great with the egg & rice, the beans were ok for me the sauce from the meat was very tasty & made this dish very good. Hubby had Bandeja a la Brasa , great tasting chicken, good sausage dish mixed well with the rice, plantain & avocado. Next time around, we tried the Mini tostones montaneros , not mini at all big tostones piled high w meat, messy but tasty dish. I had the Milanesa de pollo con queso this was very good nice tasting piece of chicken comes w rice, beans, maduros & salad all very good. Hubby had the Pechuga de pollo francesa , this was great, nice tasting sauce comes w rice & beans. Nice little place , service was good & prices are very reasonable for the portions they give you worth the try.

    Food is okay. We ordered a chicken breast over mushrooms sauce. The menu says it comes with white…read morerice, french fries and salad. The salad never came. We tried to reach out our server but she never came to check up on us never again. They weren't even busy, they were just hanging around the place but none of them came to ask if we were okay, even tho we were already done eating. We waited for awhile to ask for the check and again, never came to us, none of the 7 workers. We had to go and pay in the front. Definitely not worth your money. Never coming back to this place.
