My boyfriend and I ate dinner at Palo Santo during a work trip to Brooklyn. This spot wasn't on our…read moreradar until I jumped on Yelp, but I'm so glad we found it - such a great dining experience! We didn't have a reservation, but we went the day after a snow storm so it was pretty quiet. At first we were the only customers, but they slowly filled up during our meal. I would describe the inside as 'rustic cute'. It feels very cozy with the exposed brick, wooden tables, and soft lighting. For food we each did the Prix Fixe which lets you choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For appetizers we got the Chileatole and the Anticuchos. For entrees I got the Grass-Fed Skirt Steak and my boyfriend got the Pato en Mole Poblano. For dessert we both got the Bread Pudding. I thought the Prix Fixe was a good deal for the quantity and quality of food. Everything was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. Favorite bites were the Chileatole soup and the Skirt Steak. Our server was super friendly and approachable. Overall it was a really good experience and I would definitely return the next time I'm visiting the area.

With good reason and trust me…read moreyou may get the tacos too...lol This spot is a Peruvian- Mexican fusion and it has all the right things. Lomo Saltado to Tacos, of course. I settled for the ribeye tacos w/ a side of corn off the cob. Everything was super flavorful. My companion got the al pastor tacos and left no crumbs...lol. We both had a pisco sour and it reminded me of the ones I had in Peru. While the food was great, I will definitely be back b/c Angel our server was just so awesome! Kind, patient and funny. The kind of person you want to see when you hit up your favorite spot. There's also a cool backyard to chill, drink, and eat. Definitely try it...I may see you there.

Ordered from here on a whim and I'm beyond happy I did!…read more What a flavor bomb every bite was. Wow. Ordered the rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce and got it with yellow rice and tostones. (9 out of 10) Also tried the empanada sampler which came with four empanadas of my choosing and tried the Beef, shrimp, chicken, and birria. (8 out of 10) I mean this sincerely... everything was beyond flavorful. The rotisserie garlic chicken had to be my favorite bite of the night but each empanada included in the sampler was crispy, tender, and decadent; each one leaving its own individual mark. Seriously blown away and might even had to stop in to try the food at the restaurant next time. Can't wait to see order from here again!

Service: Good. Got checked on regularly by friendly staff:…read more Ambiance: loud, colorful, probably a good fit for a loud drunk brunch vibe. A lot of seating and a back area with fans. Food: This place is quite bad. We ordered the tortilla soup and the vegan tofu chimichurri. The tortilla soup was inedible it was so salty. The tofu was grilled and entirely burnt on the bottom. I had to slice the entire bottom off. The chimichurri sauce was flavorful. The yellow rice side seemed like bagged instant rice. The maduros were good. Did not try the alcohol but they had a large selection including non alcoholic options. The place adds a 20% auto gratuity fee. Kind of absurd on a 2 person check. I am Latina so perhaps I have a higher expectation for Latin food but I'm perplexed at how this place could have such high ratings, perhaps it was just a bad night. I would never go back and would not recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and a bowl was perfect because it was not too heavy, it was just right. And the cheese on the rice was definitely something new. The only critique that we have about our order is that we ordered 3 empanadas, 2 beef and 1 plantain and cheese but instead we got 3 plantain and cheese empanadas so Uber had to refund us the money for the empanadas. We were really looking forward to the beef and we ordered the empanadas separately, not as a trio, to avoid any mistakes; yet whoever took the order made the mistake anyway. Despite this error, the food was amazing, and I look forward to eating from there again in the future

The chicharron de pollo sin hueso was nice and crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. Their chipotle mayo and chimi house sauce is delicious.

There are only a handful of tables, but we were still able to find a spot easily (we went around 2pm). We ordered Cuban sandwiches and guava pastelitos. I hadn't had a Cuban sandwich in years, and these absolutely did not disappoint. The sandwiches had the perfect balance of bread, meat, cheese, and sauce. They were rich and flavorful without being greasy or dry. They also came with plantain chips and a garlic sauce on the side, which was a nice touch. I also really enjoyed the guava pastry. It had a generous amount of guava filling but wasn't overly sweet. I'm so glad we discovered this spot and will definitely be coming back.

I ordered the below and enjoyed it all: -Chicken Plate: very satisfying -Pork Sandwich (a little oily, but would order again) -Empanadas: favorite was ham & cheese. The guava one was ok - a bit rich and leans more heavily cheese.

Their menu is diverse and creative and honestly took quite a while to read through because everything sounded amazing. From soups to ceviches, there's a little bit of everything here. I ordered the crispy oysters with spicy tuna, avocado mousse, and totiko ($26). The plating was absolutely stunning and the flavor profiles were incredible together. My only wish is that there were more. I figure that perhaps that's my fault, because ceviches are usually smaller plates, but it didn't fill me up as a full meal, but it was still a delightful culinary experience that anyone would be lucky to have. I went with a number of friends and every plate looked beautiful in its own way. Hats off to the chef here.

When we ordered our food, it took longer than usual for it to arrive. We munched on the chips and their AMAZING homemade sauce while we waited. Finally, we received our sliders, and they were just amazing, as always. We all loved them! They are a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Once I received my main dish, I took a bite, and to be honest, I wasn't wowed by the taste. Now, it wasn't bad by any means, but it was just okay. Additionally, the fries I received with my order were cold. I also want to note that their servings are HUGE, which is a great thing! P.S I also requested on the app if we can have someone sing Happy Birthday, (or have someone come out with a dessert with candles), but the request wasn't fulfilled. Anyways, they've always done a fantastic job with the service and food.
