    Chicharrón de Pollo
    Jessica G.

    Pleasantly surprised! I read mixed reviews on the black pepper beef and decided to go for it, I was great. Frito mixo was a great starter and the mezcal cocktails were delicious

    Black Pepper Beef, Rice and Beans, and Chicharrón de Pollo

    The food here is banging from start to finish. We came with another couple so we got a bunch of things to try a variety. We started with the chorizo egg-roll (phenomenal), the bacalao Caesar salad (it was so good we ordered a second one), the ceviche aji verde (my favorite app) and the thrice cooked chicharron. The chicharron was crispy and actually meaty not just all fat, which we liked. There is a guava bbq glaze that gave a nice salty sweetness. For mains, we shared the black pepper beef, the chicharron de pollo, and the roasted drinker chicken. Every single dish was so flavorful but the star main dish was the the chicharron de pollo. It was so crispy but still light! Definitely get all the sauces too!! The spicy duck sauce was amazing. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was chill and homey. Will definitely come back!

    This is an intimate small spot but nonetheless still great. The music wasn't too loud you can hear yourself speak. The service was great as well the waiter was attentive. Most things on the menu are shareable. This restaurant has a great Asian - Spanish fusion. I really enjoyed the pork egg roll.

    As a diasporic Chinese-Burmese Brooklynite, I love to try Chinese diasporic cuisine, so this restaurant featuring Chino-Latino cuisine in a North Brooklyn setting really called my name. They received a lot of buzz in the restaurant press when they first opened so it was tough to get a reservation at first, but I visited a year after they opened and my reservation was wholly unnecessary as the place sat mostly empty on a Saturday night. It seems that how full it gets fluctuates quite a bit but they've been able to capture a late night crowd by savvily offering karaoke after 10. Overall I'd give the food four stars. Garlic noodles are hard to mess up, and the cocktails were pretty good. The shrimp saltado was over salted, crab croquettes lacked umami. Crab rangoon toast had so much potential but just ended up tasting like fried bread with a little whiff of seafood flavor. I didn't hate it, but I'm eager to see them flex a little more in the kitchen. Happy to see they've survived the cutthroat restaurant scene these last few years, and if they offer specials and keep up that karaoke program I would consider returning.

    This Chinese Latin fusion restaurant was interesting. The mixed drinks were interested and good. The staff was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is very dark and intimate kind of vibe. Not too much noise. Which is great to chat with friends. We got a few dishes. The Frito mixto was very good with the fried plantains and whatnot. The ceviche aji verde was great with a big flat fried plantain to scoop up the ceviche. The thrice cooked chicharron was ok. It was way too fatty at certain points where it was hard to swallow the far when it wasn't rendered enough and too much chewing but the flavor was decent. The tres salchichas fried rice was pretty good with the hop chaeng, loganisa and chorizo sausage. The shrimp saltado was decent. We also got the black pepper beef that was decent but a bit too savory and salty Overall the meal was ok. It felt like some of the dishes was a bit too salty and hit or miss.

    Fried chicken, frito mix, chicharrón, and rice.

    10/10 for sure! The food bomb! Drinks bomb! Vibe bomb! The prices aren't that bad either, and karaoke starts at 10pm. Cannot recommend this place enough.

    such a cute random place - the food was absolutely amazing, loved the around the way chino food spin on traditional hispanic dishes. i loved that once dinner is over there is karaoke which easily becomes a group project because everyone in the restaurant will easily join you screaming on the top of their lungs. the flan reminded me of my grandmas & i was absolutely obsessed with the green sauce that came with the frito mixto, the bacalao caesar salad was everything i didn't know i needed & the thrice fried chicharon ?! if you don't order it you're a fool !

    First off I want to say shout out to the bartender who had her Spotify playlist rocking. The tunes coming out of the speakers had me grooving through every bite of my meal. The space is cool but for a place called chino grande and serving Bori-China food there was nothing to me that represented the cuisine I was eating in the Ambience. Aside from that the food is great ! The fried rice was my favorite dish of the night. Would definitely return

    I recently had a chance to visit Chino Grande for a friend's birthday. And what a great experience. The food was delicious and service was very friendly. It is truly a mix of Asian and Latino dishes that marry perfectly. Differently would go back. I recommend the drunken chicken sooooo good.

    Came here for double date. The dining room is super cute but small so make reservations. As a Puerto Rican woman, I feel like I know crunch fried chicken called Chicharron de pollo. Well I have not had one as good as this!! It's a must!!! The steak with gravey also so good, comforting .

    Came here for dinner with 2 friends. We made a reservation near their opening time so it wasn't crowded but it did get crowded by the time we finished later in the evening. Drinks and food were good. I like their chips and 3 sauce dips. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share. For the price of the dishes, the portions are small.

    Food service and ambiance were all great. Hip hop music playing, beautiful decor. Decided to try out this place in Williamsburg on a Saturday afternoon. Upon walking in we were greeted by what seemed to be the bartender who sat us down and took out food order as well. She was great, made our drinks so delicious. The food came out fast and everything was tasty and well seasoned.

    An outstanding dining experience, especially as someone who has experienced a version of all these dishes, so to see it all done again in a new way was eye-opening. Music is on point. The ambiance is dim and good for a date night or a leveled up friend hangout. Recommendation is to get 1 small and 1 large per person. And you'll leave so satiated and full. Breakdown of the food (I'd get everything I ordered again): CHIPS WITH SAUCE CADDY: those sauces are unexpected. You think you know what ketchup and mayo tastes like together, but it isn't just thousand island sauce. There's a good kick to it. The chips are sufficiently salted, plentiful and overflowing out of the bowl: the perfect vehicle for the sauces. CHA SIU BITES: sticky with glaze, topped with ginger and scallion oil. It has a different flavor profile from your regular Chinatown char siu but just as good. There are plenty of chunks of char siu to share between two. ARROZ CHAUFA: each individual grain of rice is separated with an oily coat of that wok hei. Has a good ratio of vegetables to meat for a fried rice dish. The lapcheong is a really welcome bite when you get into it. HOT AND SOUR MUSHU CABBAGE: an unexpected winner in this meal. It captures the essence of a Chinese hot and sour soup perfectly. The thin pancake it comes with that I usually see paired with duck slices is the perfect vehicle. The texture just complements the plentiful vegetable mix perfectly. So you get the perfect bite: a soft exterior with crunchy cabbage interior. It comes with hoisin sauce but it doesn't even need it. Really fantastic gluten free and vegan dish. FRITO MIXTO: the maduros are the standout in this dish. A perfect crispy and crusty caramelized coat around this plantain. Fried yuca and tostones pair nicely with the sauce caddy.

    Visited on Sunday for lunch. The area was bright and clean. Food was great. Ordered fried calamari…read moreand mixed platter. Calamari was great, perfectly fried, crispy but not too greasy. FYI, their calamari is different from Mediterranean. Service was great! It was my first time to Ecuadorian restaurant. The server was very kind to explain everything and made a great recommendation. It was a pleasure visiting. Definitely recommended for anyone for any casual occasion

    Notes- Most dishes are a bit more, so see the photos, but not by much…read more I have been to this Ecuadorian restaurant twice at this point, though last time was long enough ago that even with my usual vast food memory, I barely remember what we ordered outside of it all tasting good. The most recent time was a few days ago, and it was excellent. The staff is nice, and the portions are generous for the price point, with two of us taking home leftovers out of the four people dining. To drink, three of us had shakes, or rather batidos, with the prices being $7 en agua or $8 en leche. I went with Lulo, which is listed as Solanum online, but really refers to naranjilla. As per the name, it means a little orange, but it is closer in flavor to a mix between pineapple and lime. Others had Maracuyá/passion fruit and Guanábana/soursop, and everyone enjoyed their drinks. They gave us some chulpi/corn nuts on the table, along with some aji verde, a lightly spicy green sauce which went with some of our heavier appetizers. Our heavier appetizer was two orders of the Bolón Mixto for $10. Bolon refers to a green plantain ball, and they offer the traditional cheese version along with chicharron, or with camarones/shrimp. The mixto combines the cheese and pork, and it was delicious, but very filling. One was more than enough, but we still enjoyed it, with the aji verde helping to reduce the overall richness. There was also the $6.50 Yapingachos/Llapingacho, or pan-fried potato cakes. These came two to an order and came topped with an onion and tomato salsa, along with some lettuce below. The potato cakes were a lot lighter by comparison to our other appetizer, but still flavorful. I would recommend them, as with other people who go here. Our smaller main dish was the Ceviche de Pescado for $17.00, or fish cocktail served either with rice or, as our choice, chifles or fried plantain chips. This was also available as a mixto, but I didn't order it as I have a pulpo allergy. There was a large amount of fresh fish inside for the price, making it very worth it. As with most ceviches, there was some sourness from the lime along with some fresh chopped herbs, onions, and tomatoes. It lacked a bit of heat I usually prefer, but I still liked it, and the whole thing was devoured quickly. Our other main dishes were all $19. My favorite of the bunch was the Seco de Chivo, with goat stew slowly cooked in home-made sofrito and beer, served with yellow rice, sliced avocado, and sweet plantain. The goat was cooked down until it was extremely tender, but still had a bit of chew, and there was a good amount of meat, even with the amount of bones in there. The broth was savory and mildly sweet, being warming, comforting, and perfect on top of the rice. This was excellent. For most of the other group, their favorite was the Chaulafan, a mix of stir-fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp, egg, and veggies served with sweet plantain and avocado. The rice had a nice texture with some lightly crispy portions and was mildly salty. The meat inside was mostly very tender, regardless of what meat it was. This was excellent as well. The remaining dish was the Sango de Camarones, listed as a tropical dish and a purée of green plantains, slowly cooked in peanut sauce and shrimp, and topped with citrus red onions served with yellow rice and sliced avocado. The dish had a unique, almost gruel-like texture, which was a bit off-putting to some, but others like myself liked it. The shrimp inside was tender, and the dish felt a bit richer than the other mains. This was probably our least favorite main, but it was still good. We were quite full, but got some $7 Flan for dessert, which is in-house made. It wasn't overly sweet, which is my preference, and the texture was semi-soft. It was a good version, and the portion was large for the price. We liked this as well. Not many complaints here. Friendly service and good, reasonably priced food.

    Bolivian Llama Party - Crispy Chicken Sandwich and a beef saltena

    I heard great things about saltenas, so I knew I had to stop by and found the perfect opportunity…read moreone day while I was in the area still feeling slightly hungry. I walked onto this small storefront where they had a squeeze rubber chicken hanging upside down to grab their attention inside (which I thought was funny & ingenious). And it really did work - from personal experience. The staff member came straight away. And I got to ordering my food. I decided to order the BEEF & CHICKEN SALTENAS. The saltenas really are empanadas x soup dumplings collab. It's like they put a hearty stew inside an empanadas looking incasing. It was mostly savory, but had a slight sweet kick. The exterior is well made & crispy. The shell is quite thick that the soup doesn't really soak through and really does hold the soup inside really well. All considering, I only got a few drops of the soup coming out when I ate it for the first time. I also added the green sauce inside and it really did deliver a spicy kick. Overall, I like both options. But I do prefer the beef if I had to choose one to buy. If you don't feel like braving the cold and waiting outside in the cold like I did, I suggest you order ahead.

    Unfortunately I'm having to recant my previous 5-star review as I've had TWO bad experiences since…read moreoriginally publishing my review.... The first incident was 3.5 months ago when I ordered food to-go and requested extra Salsa Criolla sauce for my jackfruit sandwich....but got home and discovered NO salsa criolla sauce was given to me at all. This was extremely upsetting as this sauce COMES WITH the sandwich. Without it, it's very dry and not as tasty. Today I decided to give them another chance and ordered via Uber Eats. I included a note on my order, "SALSA CRIOLLA - plz don't forget". The food arrived 15+ minutes after the delivery window (which it's exactly their fault as it's a third party delivery service), however I was dumbfounded when once again I discovered NO salsa criolla sauce in my bag. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! It's absolutely ridiculous that they completely left out something that COMES WITH my sandwich a second time, especially since I wrote an extra note about it. My receipt shows the phrase "salsa criolla" twice (see my photo), meaning there is no excuse for them to have forgotten it this time. This is so unfortunate, because I truly do love their food! However I can no longer trust them. Note to management: train your staff to double-check orders before sending them out. Your receipts literally list out every single component needed for an order to be complete, so there is absolutely no excuse for incomplete orders to keep being sent out like this.

I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.
