Under the train station is this warm breakfast nook. Had a la carte: hard fried egg, fried cheese, boiled plantations and fish. A delightful fare. Coffee of course. Service was with a smile. Soothing Spanish music in the background.

Food is always delicious. The grilled steak and chicken and the chicharron is always made to order. All of their premade food is also great.

“The pernil and mangú make a heavy and nutritiously unbalanced meal that is delicious and slides down the gullet like a well-lubricated endoscope.”

Amazing time at happy hour. We arrived just as they opened in the evening…read more The restaurant is beautiful and there's a huge bar. Fancy - casual sort of vibe. No stuffy just relaxed. Friendly attentive staff. We felt ao taken care of. The menu has something foe everyone, we were very hungry amd ordered almost all of the happy hour apps. Drinks were so good too. For about 20 minutes we were the only ones there (party of 6) Then other diners trickled in, and our attentive service didn't change. Our servers even came over to take group pics for us. Very pleasant experience overall, will definitely return. Great fro groups and especially if you have people with you who don't like the same kinds of food. The spread ranges from tacos to lo mein and everyone will have great options to enjoy.

My friend and I went in on Sunday after Bathhouse for the brunch to celebrate her bday. Nice decor…read more Full bar. Ample space. It was around 3:45pm and brunch was over at 4pm. I asked the hostess if we could do it and she said, yes. We were seated, then we waited, and waited, and waited for a waitress to come to us but no one did. Not even to give us water. There was a woman walking around not doing anything; she seemed to be a waitress. She would look at us but kept wondering aimlessly. There was a waitress at the bar having a casual conversation. So around 3:56 I told my friend we were leaving. 10 min of just sitting there. If they didn't want to do the brunch due to timing then that could've been communicated. As we were leaving I stopped to put my coat on and the hostess is just there having a conversation; she didn't bother asking us why we were leaving. You would think if you just sat a party and you see them leaving, as hostess you would be curious but no. We went right to Fushimi where we were well recieved and had a great time!

What a feast and amazing service!…read more Please note that the menu does change every so often so certain dishes may no longer be available. First off, they have this great spicy homemade hot sauce: scotch bonnet, turmeric, mustard, and a fruit that adds a nice sweetness to combat the heat. It's spicy and delicious and they can even ship it to you! ($15) Ok ok so back to the menu. They have great appetizers to share and tacos (that come in 3) that are shareable as well. At this time we tried the- Watermelon salad Hearts of Palm Ceviche Squash blossom quesadilla My absolute favorite was the ceviche! Fresh and super flavorful. The squash blossom quesadilla was packed with cheese and great with that hot sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the bowl of rice and black beans is a hearty flavorful side. Tried a couple of desserts but my favorite was the almond cake. It was light and not too sweet. Honestly, I don't think they can do anything wrong here!

Food was pretty good with decent prix fixe brunch selections and an unlimited mimosas deal for an hour. The highlight for our group was the french toast and quesadilla, while the biscuits and gravy left a bit to be desired (not enough gravy). Michelada was on point. More hits than misses, generally had something for everyone.

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.

Maybe I should blame my friend for giving this place such high praise. I ordered their chaulafan…read morerice which was actually really good and so were their chicken wings very flavorful. My friend ordered the steak and shrimp skewers when they received the food the shrimp was raw was not cooked at all and they weren't gonna say anything so I had to step in and tell the server that the shrimp was raw which they recognized and they ended up bringing out cooked shrimp. Very weird. Doesn't seem like the healthiest thing to do for that. The fact that they didn't discount anything for that experience was wild too and it was hot as hell inside, I know it's summer but let's get a fan or something in to rotation. With that said our server was great and understanding. Will I come here again, maybe not top on my list but maybe sometime in the future. 3stars l

The space itself is spacious, and I loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor dining options. There's plenty of seating either way, and the atmosphere was lively when we visited. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was good, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the sauces and little details. That said, the flavors were a little outside of what I was craving that day. I was looking for something light, bright, and refreshing, especially seafood. I ordered the scallop ceviche and completely missed that it came with a guanabana sauce, so it ended up being a much thicker, saucier ceviche than I expected. The scallops were fresh and the flavors were good, but I was really craving a more classic ceviche. I ordered another ceviche afterward, and while the fish was fresh, the pieces were chopped a little too small for my preference and it still wasn't quite what I was looking for. Some of the plantain chips were also a bit too hard to enjoy. The fried branzino was probably my favorite dish. The fish was very fresh, and I loved that the skin was left on. Personally, I think I would have enjoyed it even more with a creamier sauce instead of the chimichurri, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, I really liked the vibe here and appreciated the creativity and care put into the food. Not every dish matched my personal taste that day, but there are still plenty of things on the menu I'd like to come back and try, especially during happy hour. And I'll definitely be back for a margarita.

That set the tone of attentive service, which continued throughout an exceptional meal in Bath Beach. This area is busy, in a locals doing their thing kind of way. It's a real neighborhood, and La Chacra is a great reason to check it out. We initially had decided on ordering the Combo La Chacra, which consists of a whole rotisserie chicken, yellow rice with red beans, an avocado salad, an order of salchipapas, and an order of maduros. We added an extra half chicken, and thought "that's a wrap". However, there was an appetizer special of thinly sliced octopus prepared Peruvian style that needed to be ordered too. The service was excellent. Not overwhelming, but just right. Dishes were cleared, napkins replaced, straw wrappers taken away as soon as they hit the table. It's not something that I'm used to writing about, but needed to be said. And then, the food. It was outstanding. Compared to both the basic, and the high end Peruvian restaurants that I've been to throughout the city, La Chacra is far and away the best. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt intentional. Nothing was just thrown on a plate. As full as we were, and we were quite full, there was no way that we were leaving without trying something from the desert menu. Another wise choice, as both the flan and the tres leche cake were fantastic. To wrap this one up, this spot is a solid five stars. The prices are very reasonable and the food, service, and charming atmosphere will have us returning soon.
