    Brunch La Chiflada Burger
    Dari H.

    This is the place for fun and good food. They added more to the menu so there are plenty of options and very flavorful. I have never had a bad time here. Good service, good food, bottomless brunch and great entertainment i HIGHLY recommend.

    Absolutely, highly recommend this spot for brunch! Here's the key though: book your brunch for 3 PM so you can roll right into the party afterward. If you go too early, they'll eventually rush you out to prep for the next seating and trust me, you're going to want to stay and party! Don't say I didn't warn you. I've been here so many times I've had the entire brunch menu -- and everything is delicious. The brunch drinks are amazing, with plenty of options like flavored mimosas, sangria, and margaritas, and the staff keeps your cup full the entire time. The hookah is also one of the best it lasts the whole time (sometimes longer), and I usually only need one refill even after being there for 3-4 hours, plus it's super affordable. The vibes give total NYC energy without actually having to go into the city. Definitely also a spot with plenty of places to take cute pictures, so come camera-ready. The only downside: parking can be a nightmare, so get there early or Uber/Lyft it.

    This place was okay at first but please avoid it for NYE or probably any big event. I cannot attest to regular days. They scam you out of your money. They have $70 for general admission or $120 for food and drinks but I guess that was a lie or the staff is VERY confused. We got the $70 general admission and they let us sit at a table and we had to pay for a bottle to keep sitting there but supposedly the buffet was included. As all nightlife venues the vodka bottle was super overpriced at $190. The hookah was a standard $35 (CASH ONLY). I was enjoying it for a bit of time and the music turned from salsa/bachata to reggaeton after midnight. My friend was getting really drunk so I decided to take her to the bathroom with me, since it was just us two. When we got back our bottle and hookah was gone. The hookah server did not understand me so he had a bottle girl help translate. He claimed that it was done when it wasn't even halfway done. They didn't even give us any time to return before taking it away. The manager came and basically claimed that that's what he said and did nothing for us. I find it completely ridiculous. How would my friend be able to go to the bathroom safely or be left at the table alone safely if she's drunk? The whole NYE event was a big scam. Keep that in mind. I left right after that. No way am I returning or giving this establishment more of my money.

    If you're looking for a LIT latin brunch spot, La Chiflada is that place! I came here with a group of girls on a Saturday for brunch and the place was PACKED! The rules are that you have 1.5 hours for bottomless mimosas with a choice of entree. If you want to stay longer, you have to pay for a bottle. I elected to go for the mangu, as did the other girls. The mangu was good, I just wish there was more of it. The portion sizing was alright, just don't come hungry; you may have to stop for a snack afterwards. What really got the party going was the hookah, I've never seen hookah prepared this way before, where the coals sat inside a hollowed out pineapple. That alone was so cool! After our 1.5 hours was up for our brunch time, we wanted to keep the vibes going so we elected to purchase a bottle of tequila. We had so much fun dancing here and I could not recommend this place more! In terms of location, La Chiflada is situated within a Paterson residential neighborhood so parking isn't the best. Your best option is to Uber here. Also if you're looking for a bite to eat after, there's a Dominican bodega right down the block with some great food.

    We came here for the brunch, they have a strict dress code and enforce it. The service was okay- bottomless drinks for the whole time your there. The bathrooms are SO small, only one stall and the manager wouldnt let us go upstairs he literally yelled at us. The food was 9/10, i got the patacon- it was super tasty but the tostones were hard as a rock. The decor and place itself is super cute and well decorated. People mostly come here for the fun i assume. I probably won't be back here.

    Crazy cocktail!

    What a beautiful place! Great if you love latin mix music as the DJ (this was a Thursday night) was fantastic!! I went with a group for dinner at 8pm and we sat upstairs. Loud music but totally ok for talking, and the drinks were gorgeous! My strawberry margarita was delicious though expensive at $20. Taco Thursday was great as my chicken tacos were only $8 and excellent! Juicy seasoned pulled chicken on corn tortillas was shockingly yummy and a nice portion too! Yucca fries were awesome as well - thick and crisp outside. Dancing is downstairs after 10pm. Great music again but no one was really dancing except which was a bummer but you can dance with your own group. We had very nice staff here too. I would go back for the food/music for a date night.

    Would give 5 Stars if I was just reviewing their Weekend Brunch. Bottomless Mimosa and Sangria, Tasty Entrées, and Dessert, all for under $40, and the music and vibes were just awesome. But if you order anything from A la Carte, especially Coctails, they are definitely overpriced. They all tasted good though, so no complaints there. Service too was a weak point. Even during Brunch where basically just ordering from a select Menu and Drinks, the service definitely slow and it was quite difficult to get our waitress's attention.

    Spacious - a little quiet for brunch but this is a turn up on Saturday nights

    Solid first visit to La Chiflada! First and foremost, the biggest driver of my rating was the services provided by Isabel, the waitress/bartender. Came for lunch on a Saturday and it was fairly quiet. There are a number of tables will bar stools with a few booths and tables with seats. There was another table celebrating a birthday and the restaurant staff celebrated them with a dessert. Vibe: They open at 1pm on Saturdays. When I came, there weren't too many people in the restaurant and they played mostly Latin music. The DJ was doing a great job mixing but sadly there weren't enough people to benefit from the turn up. Apparently Sunday brunch is better than Saturday brunch but Saturday nights are the best. Will have to check it out for myself. Service: Isabel was our waitress and she was top notch from the moment she came to the table to the moment she provided the check! She was personable, made recommendations and even assisted with ensuring our drinks met our preferences. Major kudos to her! Food: They have a bottomless brunch option which offers 2-hour unlimited mimosas and an entrees for $35. Was well worth it for anyone who plans to drink. Thankfully, it wasn't busy so Isabel ensured we never saw the bottom of our glasses. Location: Parking in the area is a little difficult, which may present a challenge when it's busy. Not sure if they have a valet option but if not, prepare to do laps looking for a spot.

    My girlfriend made brunch reservations for us on a Saturday. Parking can be a pain in the area, especially when the roads are covered in snow. The restaurant is interesting. Kinda industrial, kinda tropical, kinda kitschy. I liked it. The brunch deal is great though. For a mere $25.99 per person, we got a nice bottomless boozy brunch. You get your choice of entree, and as many drinks as you like from the menu. Drink options include bellinis, beermosas, mimosa margaritas, white wine sangria, lemosas, rose sangria floats, champagne mules, and raspberry mimosas. For my entree, I got the chorizo burger. It was decent. For decent food and weak drinks, I'd normally give 3 stars, but the service was AMAZING. Our server, Andres, was great. He made sure we got everything we needed. I actually got a decent buzz out of the drinks, even though they were all very weak. I managed to down 24 drinks within our 2 hour time limit for brunch. Which means Andres refilled my drink every 5 minutes. We also got a decent appetizer recommendation from him, which had tostones, guac, and chicarron. Surprisingly, we each got a slice of tres leches cake as well. Unfortunately, we forgot them on the table in their to-go packaging. Oh well....definitely wanna do this again though

    Brunch Club Sunday! La Chiflada is a total vibe. My friend and I came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived at 1pm without a reservation and there was already a line formed outside. Luckily we were immediately seated on the outdoor patio. Wow this place is big! There's several different rooms/seating areas, all with a different vibe and esthetic. The service here is top notch! As soon as we were seated we were greeted by our waitress. For 34.99 you receive an entree and 2hrs of unlimited mimosas and sangria. We started with guac & empanadas for appetizers which were on the table within minutes. Both were good with the star being the dipping sauce given with the empanadas (they should bottle it up and sell it). I had the steak, eggs & potatoes for my entree. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium and guess what? It was cooked medium! The potatoes were full of flavor, dressing on the salad had a little twang to it & my eggs were cheesy as requested. About the unlimited drinks.... Baby my cup was NEVER empty. I NEVER had to ask for a refill because my waitress along with any other waitress that walked by my almost empty cup would fill me up. The mimosas & sangria were both good but my fav was the passion fruit sangria. It was strongggggg but fruity. During our meal the Hookah guy started making his rounds. We decided to go with the Tropical Hookah. Pineapple head and free refills included for $70, cash only. The hookah was so smooth and he continually came back to make sure we were good, refill us and check on the coals. The customer service and food here was really amazing. The manager David also came over, introduced himself and made sure we were happy campers. One star removed for there only being one stall in the ladies room with a ridiculously long line. Other than that La Chiflada is definitely a restaurant I would return to .

    We came here for Sunday brunch and had a great time. We arrived around 3pm for our reservation and was seated immediately. We did the brunch special which is only 34.99 for unlimited mimosa and Sangria, a meal and dessert. We all got different items and everyone enjoyed their food. For dessert they give a little cake in a cup not sure what it was but It was good. Taste like passionfruit. Around 4pm or so the party really started to turn up. They gave out balloons and had performers such as characters and light up robot. Overall was alot of fun and great outing

There is outdoor and indoor dining but since it was blazing hot out I opted to stay inside in the cool AC. Came for brunch on a Sunday so had to try their sangria. It was really refreshing and perfect for a warm day. For entrees, we ordered the short rib hash, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs. I had a little of each, but my favorite was the short rib hash. Great flavor and the sauce was fantastic. The steak had a perfect cook on it, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful as well.

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

Then we sit for 30 solid minutes without a peep from ANYONE. Then suddenly a confused looking young lady steps up and informs us "no one told her we were here." Guess that's OUR problem? Placed a drink order and another 20 minutes passes when I am informed it is no longer on tap. Drinks finally arrive, the "Craftsman IPA" is flat and "off" tasting. White wine was warm as if it was sitting in the sun. Food was not much better sadly. The Calamari was flavorless and tough - apparently someone forgot the Asian drizzle that was supposed to go on it. It was also that "fake" calamari where every piece is exactly the same size and shape. The "stuffed" meatballs were stuffed - with air! Literally nothing but a hole in the middle. The artichoke and crab dip had a strong fishy taste, it was so bad I feared it was tainted. To their credit they took it off the bill, eventually. And from the moment our drinks arrived earlier,, our server never once checked back on us for another drink, do we need anything, how is everything etc. Hey Craftsman - do better! Maybe some training in the kitchen and out on the floor is in order.
