Dined here recently for dinner. I had booked an outdoor table, but it ended up being too chilly to…read moresit outside--thankfully the staff was accommodating. It had been years since my last visit, so it felt like a brand-new experience. I made a reservation online, though it wasn't really necessary that evening. Still, it's a plus that you can easily choose between indoor and outdoor seating when booking. Parking in their onsite lot is another convenience. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate feel, and there's a small bar that offers a happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4-7 PM. We started with cocktails: a refreshing white sangria with mango and a mojito. Both were well-made and reasonably priced--$7 and $8. For appetizers, we had the coconut shrimp served over sliced plantains with a lemongrass sauce. The flavors were good, but the shrimp were noticeably over-fried (see my video), which took away from what could have been a standout dish. Sonora's menu offers a diverse Latin-inspired selection with dishes from South America, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, and Puerto Rico. I was intrigued by the variety. I chose a Cuban-inspired dish: Angus skirt steak served with lobster and plantain fried rice and topped with a quail egg saffron lime garlic mojito sauce. The steak was tender and cooked to order, but the fried rice was underwhelming--just a hint of lobster flavor with only a few tiny pieces of lobster. The quail egg was nicely done. My friend ordered a Colombian dish: chicken stuffed with sweet plantain, goat cheese, peppers, and chorizo, served with saffron mashed potatoes and a sweet sherry sauce. She loved it and said the portion size was generous--I passed on a taste but took her word for it! They also offer brunch, jazz nights, and a paella night, which I'd love to check out in the future. I'll definitely return when the weather is warmer to enjoy their outdoor seating.

Though this is a very small restaurant and there's limited parking, I would still recommend going here. Just plan giving your self time to find parking and a spot to sit if it's busy! Everyone who works here is so nice, but some have a hard time speaking English. The menu is in English but at times it can be hard to order.

I got a combo of chicken and papa a la huancaina and salad. It came with a side salad, too, so I definitely got my fill of roughage today! I like their salad dressing. The cheese sauce on the papa a la huancaina was great, and I loved the chicken. It all wasn't necessarily so much better than other places I've been to in NYC, but the server was nice, really on top of things, and the place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I would go back of I was back in that neighborhood with friends.

Chips and salsa (5/5): My mouth is feeling a tingle from the salsa and I'm not mad. The flavor is rich and developed and they bring this to your table to kick off the meal. The chips are thin and crispy! Pisco Sour (4/5): This drink is the national beverage of Peru and is a must-have for all when enjoying Peruvian cuisine. I found this version a bit sweeter than sour from what I remember from my trip, but it was very tasty! Lomo Saltado (4/5): The steak is slightly over but every other aspect of this dish is perfectly brought together. The fry wedges are nicely crisped and the bottom of the rice absorbed that wonderful saucy flavor from the dish. Ceviche Frutos Del Mar (5/5): This dish has everything. Beautiful umami flavor, several fish, and a stunning presentation! My only ask would be to deshell the shrimp but otherwise perfect. It even comes with some sweet potato! Maduros (4/5): Lovely sweet flavor but I wish it was fried for another 60 seconds of crispiness. Service (5/5): Very attentive servers and delivered on every aspect expected. TL;DR: Next door to The Capitol Theater and would absolutely recommend for a wonderful meal, upscale atmosphere, and attentive service.

Great spot for dine-in or take-out, and this is usually a staple when I'm back home in Westchester…read more The Jalea is a beautiful mix of fried seafood - fish, calamari, crabs, and mussels - with crispy and light pieces of fried yuca. A squeeze of lemon and a dip into their green aji verde adds a nice bite and heat, which can make you forget that you're eating a mountain of fried deliciousness. The lomo saltado and their half chicken are also great, and be sure to chase it down with some chicha.

Whenever I had meetings at our NYC office, I'd grab a seat at the bar there just to see what was new on the seasonal menu. So, when I heard he was bringing his culinary brilliance to Greenwich Avenue, I was ecstatic. Happy Monkey definitely lives up to the hype, but with a totally different energy. It's a "fun-loving Latin restaurant," and the vibe is spot on--bright, laid-back, and stylish without being stuffy. The black and white tiled floors and all the lanterns and plants hanging from the ceiling give it a really cool, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. The bar program is solid. They have a full selection, but the margaritas and sangria seemed to be the move for most tables. As for the food, it was incredible. Here's the breakdown: * Arroz con Pollo: This is the absolute "must-have" dish. Just a heads up: it takes about 30 minutes to cook, so give yourself at least an hour for the full experience. It is well worth the wait. * Sizzling Shrimp with Garlic: Exactly what you want it to be--fragrant, buttery, and delicious. * Organic Chipotle Chicken Tacos: Super fresh and had that signature Jean-Georges "pop" of flavor. * Crispy Calamari: Perfectly fried and a great way to kick off the meal. You can really feel the JG influence here--everything feels lighter and more vibrant than your typical heavy Latin fare. It's great to finally have this level of cooking right here in Greenwich. Whether you're a longtime fan of his NYC spots or just looking for a great new dinner hang, this place is a win.

It's a Jean Georges restaurant…read morethrough and through, and I'm not sure I'm aligned with where some of the disappointment lies. I suppose it's a pro that it's never been hard to get into, but maybe this spot hasn't quite found its groove yet. As a frequenter of Matador Room in Miami, I see a lot of similarities on the menu (and some of the same dishes, and the overall vibe) which make it that much easier to get food that brings me to Miami without actually having to go there. Namely -- the hot sauce on every table (not a "food" but integral to the JG experience), the ginger margarita (liquids are food), the maitake mushroom, the sweet pea guac, and the always amazing Arroz con Pollo. I'm sure there is more, but this is what stands out to me. So for starters, any of those are fantastic choices. We recently went for brunch and added the tuna tartare, a few salads, a burger, and the baked eggs to the list. My only caution, and I say this with deep regret, is that the baked eggs are VERY baked. I was imaging something more like a loose bake, shakshouka style, but I clearly did not read the menu very hard. We capped it all off with the tres leches (YES) and the Mexican chocolate pudding. Drink the drinks, eat the rice, and put the bright orange hot sauce on everything. Yes, it's not cheap, but what else did you expect in Greenwich?

Excellent Peruvian food in Port Chester…read more The ambiance is bare-bones, with huge TVs on either side of the dining room so that you will be watching something however your chair is facing. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is some of the best in Westchester. Everything is phenomenal, from the soft, warm, toasty rolls they bring you in the beginning, which come with both butter and a spicy green sauce, to the main courses. I am a big fan of fried fish, which is fried tilapia. It comes with either French fries and salad or rice and beans. I have also had the bistec milanese and sampled the lomo saltado- everything is delicious. The best side you can order here is the sweet maduros/platanos which come out very hot, but are some of the best I've ever had.

Wow. A hole in the wall with excellent food! Visited a local dealership and got hungry... looked at…read moreyelp and found this gem like down the road. Almost passed it as its an unmarked door with small windows by the entrance. Almost like an apartment. Greeted by a waitress who spoke english. I opted for the mixed chofan rice and the steak with salad and white rice. The prices for both were similar, hovering just under $15. She got bread rolls with butter, which was really good as the bread was nice and warm. It wasn't microwaved warm as when the bread got cool it didn't transform back into playdough. From ordering to food on the table was around 15 minutes. It wasn't busy, about 5 other patrons. Steak came out and it was seasoned just right with a nice salad right on the plate along with white rice. The chofan came on a big plate, even though the picture makes it look small, it's surely a 2 person meal on its own. All in all for a small hole in the wall, this place rocks. The waitress told me on Fridays and Saturdays it gets very busy. So beware! I added pictures. Enjoy!

The Lomo saltado was delicious, the meat was tender, and it had great flavor. We really enjoyed that with the fresh vegetables and french fries. The seafood was good, but not memorable. It was very hard to eat with the thick sauce on top of it. It was not shareable as we thought it would be. There was one clam, one mussel, etc. also, the fried fish which was crispy, was at the bottom in a puddle of sauce. That kind of defeats the purpose of frying the fish and having it crispy. It gets pretty busy in here and pretty loud, so get there early for a table. I will come back for the Lomo saltado which was memorable!

Loved the spaghetti and had a good flavor. The chicken was crispy and nicely cooked. It came with a side potato. Will definitely come back to try more of their menu and it helps that is open late in case you are looking for a late night bite.
