    Bacon egg and cheese with spinach
    Amy A.

    I feel like writing poems to celebrate how much the bacon slays here - crispy with enough chew and abundant. The green sauce moves me - I love it on everything. This place wins for breakfast and their empanadas are a great grab and go if you need a mid morning fill up or just an easy, inexpensive breakfast. Prices have gone up but still absolutely worth it anytime I'm nearby.

    Melt your cheese clowns

    Simple egg and cheese. Cheese wasn't melted. This is cheap American cheese, no one wants a mouthful of firm low grade American cheese on their breakfast sandwich. Unacceptable in nyc.

    I love the roasted pork at tio pio , I take pounds back to conn each trip in. Staff is great. Packs it up well for me for the road. Rice beans plantains Love the drag drinks too. Keep coming back

    Chicken with Spanish rice, spinach and yuca
    Sol C.

    Cheap, fast and huge portions at Tio Pio. There is a salad line and a hot food line. I was served right away - in and out (take-out) in five minutes. Many different meat and fish options with typical Spanish sides (rices, plantains, beans etc). Lunch came to $9.25 with tax for 1/4 rotisserie chicken with 3 sides - I got spinach, yuca and Spanish rice. Food was fine - chicken had good flavor but was somewhat dry. Rice was great while yuca and spinach were just mediocre. I was certainly full after (couldn't even finish it all), so I would recommend for a quick, inexpensive lunch in Downtown Brooklyn.

    Been here couple times. Food is good. So far, my favor is yellow rice with Pernil, either steam veggie or yuca. I always ask for a crispy skin with the pernil, the skin is so crispy. Love it

    I found this gem after a long morning of errands and am so happy I did. You can get custom salads, juice/smoothies or a platter of delicious Spanish food. If you're a picky eater like me than I highly recommend this place as you can pick and choose as much as you'd like :-) Being the only Spanish food place in the area other than Sophie's which is most definitely pricier, I can definitely foresee long lines at certain times of the day. But at 3 o'clock on this beautiful Saturday, the place isn't all that busy.

    A co-worker introduced me to this place 2 weeks ago and I've been a regular ever since. I love it! The atmosphere in the restaurant is lively. But the selection of food takes the cake! Anything from an empenada (sp?), to a salad bar, to a sandwich, to your selection of a hot meal (variety of rices, vegetables and meats). For lunch you can get rice, 2 sides and one meat for $8.00. And the portions are huge. I never finish all in one sitting, so I save the remaining food for the next day. Which is $4 for lunch each day. Not bad. Overall Rating: B+

    Burrito Loco!! Bacon,eggs, potatoes, cheese, guacamole :) !!!!
    Ezer K.

    My g2 for a quick empanada (cheese is good). I've had their feta and spinach omelette platter and the french toast is made different than what I'm used to buuuut it's yummy. Also must try the burrito loco! It's way under rated. The workers are friendly and give great service.

Great-looking menu, ended up getting the Caesar salad, stuffed radicchio, and chicken to share. Everything was top-notch. The Caesar was one of the best I've had, and the stuffed radicchio was on another level. Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The wine reduction was really special. The chicken was the star of the show. I'm one of those people who never order chicken out because I can make it at home, but this was just on another tier. I couldn't, on my best day, cook chicken this well. Couldn't recommend enough. The staff was super helpful and friendly without being overbearing sitting at the bar.

Made a reservation for Saturday brunch with a friend and was instantly charmed upon arrival. I love the layout of the restaurant with the bistro tables facing inward-- it really feels like they are making the best use of the space. For food, my friend and I opted to share the french toast and the burger. The french toast was delicious, although dare I say the slab of butter they put on the top is a little too thick and too cold, so it's hard to get it to properly melt. The burger was good but nothing spectacular and I think they could have a much better bun. However, the fries were delicious! I got a flat white and my friend got a grapefruit juice. For the price, the sizes of the drinks fell flat, and my flat white was also too much like a cappuccino. Service was friendly but extremely slow to take our initial order, and our drinks then took 10 minutes to come out too.

The atmosphere really sets it apart--those soaring ceilings and massive windows create an airy, open feel that's perfect for daytime drinking, and the sports decor adds character without being over the top. Despite being a sports bar (I'm sure it gets lively during Knicks playoff games), it was surprisingly family-friendly during our visit. We saw several other families, including one with a small baby, and the vibe was welcoming and chill. It wasn't crowded, so we could sit wherever we wanted. On this visit, we tried the deviled eggs, french fries, and Sonoran dog, all of which were tasty and came out impressively fast. The drinks are solid too: my Negroni was well-made, and they have well-priced beers and decent cocktails throughout. Daily specials make it even more budget-friendly. The staff is friendly and laid-back, which matches the overall vibe. Bonus points for being dog-friendly with a sidewalk patio, and the hours (weekdays 3-11pm, weekends 12-11pm) work well for both afternoon hangs and evening plans. Super convenient if you're hitting up BAM.

When I did move further inside, FancyFree was quite roomy. There are plenty of high tables and a full bar.

Our server, Pierre, was really attentive and pleasant. It was a fun night-big crowd. It's a shame I didn't get to experience their food menu. A server zipped passed me with some goodies that I must try. I'll be back.

But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.
