a plate of food on a table
Rohini G.

Great find lZ we had a bit of a wait but the food was well worth it. I tried the Milanesa and it was well cooked, tender, and crispy. The beet salad was well balanced and refreshing and the portion was very substantial! Doubled as dinner too!

I been living in the neighborhood for 2 decades and I couldn't believe I never gotten food from here except for their buñuelos. The food from here is very authentic, homey and just plain delicious. This place isn't fancy any means and I probably wouldn't sit and eat here but great place for take out. They do have daily specials and I love that they have more than one soup per day since I'm a huge soup lover.

Ordered the skirt steak and it came with side salad and rice and maduros. Food was fresh and very "casera" homemade. Def will be back!

I live a block away, and after doing laundry, I decided to try Cositas Cafe. I got two empanadas,…read moreChorizo & Cheese, and Potato & Cheese. They come with a red and a green sauce. I was all about that green sauce. Both empanadas were really tasty. I recommend this cute little spot if you're in the mood for a taste of Latin America here in the UES.

They offer a number of baked Colombian pastries, empanadas, breakfast with eggs, coffee, milk-based drinks, and teas. The owner/staff(?) was kind and helpful in answering my questions about ingredients. I saw on their menu online that their horchata was made with oat and rice, which I was excited to see, since most places usually include some type of regular milk. She was able to confirm there was no dairy. I also asked for her suggestion for which empanada to get--chicken or beef--and she suggested both, then with a thoughtful gesture said she'd give me both if I bought one, since they were closing soon. Thanks for the chance to try both! An extra 1/2 star for excellent service! The horchata is on the sweet side, which is as expected since it's a sweet drink to begin with. I'd describe it a creamy, warm embrace with balanced notes of cinnamon. Personally I'd go a little stronger on the cinnamon though that's more of an individual preference. The empanadas had decent flavor, a fair amount of juicy meat filling and I was glad the filling wasn't too salty. This is a tiny store so there are only a couple seats inside, and a few additional seats outside. They've created a lively atmosphere with tropical wallpaper and a woven chandelier that creates a beautiful sprinkle of lighting around the cafe.

Really great authentic food!…read more There aren't many Guatemalan food spots in Manhattan so Tikal is definitely a gem. Yummy, home cooked, family vibes is how I would describe the food and the restaurant. The owner is also very friendly and service is speedy! We had the chicken en pulique and the chicken was so incredibly moist and fall of the bone tender. The tortillas also seem fresh and handmade which is amazing as well. I loved the cuchito. The empanada is very nice in that it's different from the typical wheat empanadas you see in NYC since it is made of corn. The loroco pupusa is something I would definitely come back for too. Essentially, everything was delicious!

New to the competitive restaurant neighborhood of Lenox Hill, Tikal is a welcome edition. We picked…read moreup food the last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered tacos with beef and some with pork. They were delicious! The grilled skirt steak was fine if you like your steak well done. For those, like myself, who prefer steak medium rare, it was a disappointment. The chicken entrée in a creamy sauce was a highlight. The mixed green salad was unfortunately mostly iceberg lettuce. The sweet plantains were exceptionally tasty, and despite being fried, they were not too greasy. The black beans were prepared differently than we expected in that they were sort of mashed up and very thick rather than whole beans served in a bit of sauce. Nevertheless they weren't bad. The shrimp ceviche was outstanding! Try Tikal - you'll like it!
