I came here recently for my co-worker's birthday celebration and I'm a bit indifferent about the experience. For one, the place is big and I do like that there was an indoor and an enclosed outdoor section. There were tons of heaters that made sitting outdoors comfortable. Indoors were a bar and high tables with a live DJ. It was packed and there was one server that was attending to the backyard. He was a bit overwhelmed and was trying but then gave me the wrong drink and meal. When I got my correct drink (mango margarita), all the mango syrup was at the bottom and it didn't have the kick in it that I thought it would have. The chicken tacos were decent, it was just a bit bland and needed a bit more seasoning. In the end, the server didn't seem compassionate about my drink situation and food and even charged me as well. This place seems to have a lot of potential, but isn't equipped to handle large amounts of people and catering to customer service. read more

I sat at the bar for at least 10 minutes before the server even acknowledged my presence. He said that he had to count his register. I told him that was his problem. The place was not busy. This place fell off big time. Service is unamazing, food is just "so so". I'm sure they would be faster and more attentive if they weren't located in Harlem, or if I were not melinated. They are under new management, and they don't understand customer service. read more

I dropped by here after a musical performance, late on a Saturday night. My friend and I were looking for some late night eats and fortunately the kitchen was open. Yay! We sat at the bar, and the ambience was pretty casual and fine. Music volume was good, and the place wasn't too crowded. The outdoor areas were pretty neat, too. Unfortunately, we had a difficult time with the food & beverage. The bartender was busy, which is fine, and took about 10 minutes to flag him down to order. I ordered the wings and yucca fries and a beer. My friend ordered empanadas. Prices were very high - almost $9 for a bottled Corona, $12 for two small empanadas, and $14 for 5 wings and fries. I waited about 20 minutes for my food before checking in with the bartender, who assured me the order of food was coming. 25 minutes beyond that, my friend had finished his meal and I wasn't served. Finally, as we got the checks, my meal came out - and was short a wing (5 on the menu, I got 4) and no yucca fries. I was so hungry I didn't try to dispute it. I used to work in bars and totally understand that stuff happens, but I felt there was a major breakdown in logistics here. 40 minutes is a long time to wait for an incomplete order, and nothing was done to really rectify it. The place wasn't crowded so it wasn't an issue with volume. The bartender was not communicative at all and only said a few words at a time, so I think they just forgot to submit my order. The food was tasty but small portions for the high price, so I'd avoid the wings and maybe try another dish. read more

Five star for the service. The waitress was very friendly and nice. I ordered a sangria and when my friend came, we ordered a Sangria pitcher. Both were okay, nothing great and in fact the sangria was diluted. When it comes to food, I ordered Tios chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the veggie salad with arugula and avocado. There was a hint of aioli in the sandwich but it was so dry. The salad was a very poor excuse for a dish. Hated the food, drinks were ehhhh service was great but for the price I paid, I left there feeling cheated. Won't recommend this place to anyone read more

From the moment we approached this establishment, the decor intrigued my wife and I. They have their menu on the outside so we decided to check it out. As we were doing that, Luis the bartender, came out and gave us suggestions of entrees. We decided this was our place to have dinner at that point and we made a great choice. My wife had the chicken, mash with veggies while I had the salmon mash and veggies. Both were amazing and had us wanting more. Normally we don't do dessert but our experience was so good that we opted to have something. We asked Luis for his opinion and he said Apple Tart with Ice cream was his fav, so we gave it a shot. The apples were fresh and the ice cream was smooth making a perfect combo. We would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Came here for brunch with the kiddos. We had the chicken quesadillas, steak and eggs and a chicken sandwich. Small portions that took forever to come out. We all pretty much left still semi hungry. I would probably have rated higher if it didnt take the food so long to come out without explanation. Flavors are competent but I didnt leave raving about anything. Mimosas were ok but I did think their coffee was tasty. They have an open kitchen concept that was a nice touch. Their restrooms are immaculate and overall the whole place has a very modern decor. I would have to return during a different service to see what others are raving about. Brunch is definitely not it. read more

GREAT FOOD PERIOD! Last night my sister and I stopped by a little before 9 and got a table outside for dinner. I, unfortunately, don't remember our server's name but him and the gentlemen that served our food and cleaned our table were very nice. We ordered two frozen Pina Coladas, I ordered the Carnes Asada and she ordered the Camarones en Tomate. Everything looked and smelled delicious, I didn't even want to ruin my plate. But of course, I did for a good cause. Pros - nice size portioned shrimp and the sauce was delicious - the steak was buttery and perfectly seasoned everything about the plate was good. - Sweet plantains weren't fried too hard, just right - You'll definitely need a reservation for the later hours. We got lucky with snatching the last available table, but we were eating I noticed that cars were double parking just waiting for a res. - This restaurant is truly a neighborhood treasure and full of good vibes. Cons - I should have ordered a 32oz and not a 16oz drink! I'll definitely be coming back for takeout and trying out the other dishes. Thanks for a nice escape from quarantine. read more

Went here to meet friends for dinner. I've always walked past here as it's close to my apartment, but I've never stopped in. The decor is super cute and kind of romantic. Great for a date night. I ordered the chicken quesadillas and they were GREAT. The order only came with 4 small pieces, which seems like I was getting robbed for $20, BUT they were delicious. My friend ordered the salmon dish with veggies which originally came out over cooked, but the waitress was more than happy to replace. The second attempt was spot on. The steak and rice was decent, but nothing spectacular. I have to say my favorite dish was the side of yucca fries. We ended up getting another order to share. I will try this place out again. They have weekend brunch as well as weekday happy hour. read more

I'm so pissed off right now, order several things from this restaurant, everything was just ok, the "Dinner Entree that just pissed me off was the enchiladas ( dinner entree) it arrived with no rice or beans. Excuse me!!! When did just enchiladas that cost $20 become a dinner entree, from a Spanish restaurant??? So when I called the establishment to try and figure out what happened, all I got was a smart ass comment " you didn't see rice and beans in the description" okay, I spend $100 for 3 meals and that's what I get??? It will never happen again, I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM YOU AGAIN. That's what you get for trying to support your local establishments, no type of appreciation. Good luck.

This is a great brunch or happy hour spot in Harlem. Its more chill than some other restaurants nearby on Lenox and also has better food and prices than most. I've been here twice for brunch and both times my boyfriend and I shared the crab cakes and the breakfast burrito. The food is super delicious, although I wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. We've gotten mimosa pitchers which are only $15, but they were kind of weak. Tio Luca has happy hour Tues-Sat 4-7pm and it includes beer, wine, and certain cocktails for $6. They also have a few happy hour tapas for $9 but I don't think that's a very good deal so I have not tried any. The sangria and margaritas are awesome though, and strong. There is some outdoor seating which is great during warm weather. The interior space and bar are nice as well. read more

Roaming around Harlem after a strenuous workout looking for a good brunch spot. Was tired of walking around because boy were my hammys tight. Tio's looked like a nice place so I checked it out. Ordered the steak & eggs (cooked medium, which is new for me... look at me being adventurous). Eggs were perfectly poached, steak was aight, tons of fries. I was satisfied with my meal but would probably try something different if I came back. Usually don't comment on service unless it's great or horrible but in this case, our server Gerald was on point. If you're reading this bro, thank you for the hospitality.

Unfortunately, this place seems like a hit or miss. I greatly enjoy myself when the owner is here to oversee however it appears his staff is unable to provide the same service.

We decided to stay as like I said the experience prior to has been good. They tried to seat us at a four seat table and add a chair in the aisle....I guess they didn't know that was a fire hazard which I was happy to let them know. They then proceeded to seat a table of ten ahead of us that had gotten there AFTER us as opposed to rearranging the seating. We waited for an additional 10 Minutes and left.

There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

The menu changes in a spectacular. Everything ordered was delicious. I wasn't super hungry to order the roasted cauliflower and could have eaten two more plates. The portions are great for the price and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend.

First it is always good an experience but the more I order, the more it gets better. This day I had a drink and shared a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was amazing and I still think about it. The bread was a good texture, the steak was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was amazing and so was the sauce. This was one amazing sandwich and I look forward to going back and ordering it again.

We ordered the Mac and cheese - a burger and the chicken & waffles -- all were absolutely delicious. But the cocktails? On another level. Truly worth experiencing and experimenting with. We tried several different spins, and every single one was perfectly balanced and hit the spot. Creative, thoughtful, and genuinely impressive. The drinks are absolutely worth the price, and so is the overall experience. Huge shoutout to Joost, the bar manager -- thank you for taking such great care of us and turning a random Monday night Harlem stroll into something special. We'll definitely be back.

I've been several times, with large groups and with just one other dining partner. It's great for both. The food is delicious standard American fare. I've had the burgers, fries, pork chop...probably other things I can't remember now but nothing disappointed. My friend had a birthday dinner there one winter and the gas burners broke or something, so they couldn't offer most of the menu items. Somehow they were still able to make burgers so we all got those. While a disappointing event, I was impressed that they were able to offer a solution. And the owner came out to personally apologize and give each of us a business card for discounted meals for a year. And they honored it every time I returned.

The photos online make this look like a legit speakeasy that would be serving craft cocktails in an upscale environment and this was absolutely not that. They have a room in the back, but we were crammed at a small bar table because of a private party. The drinks were decent and those with us said the food was ok, but I didn't try any food. Having gone all the way from the Financial District to Harlem for this was a total let down. If you are already in Harlem and want a casual place to grab a drink with a decent DJ, by all means give them a try. But putting a suit in the window and taking some nice photos does not a speakeasy make.

It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer. Came, saw... ehhh.
