    Always trust your servers. Got the squid ink fried rice, mofongo with pork chunks, n grilled meats. So good

    Flor de Mayo Wonderful Boliche Mechado (Cuban Pot Roast) in a flavorful chorizo sauce
    Mike R.

    Had an enjoyable Sunday dinner at Flor de Mayo with two old friends visiting. We needed a UWS spot to eat and I'd been eyeing Boliche Mechado (Cuban Pot Roast) on this location's Lunch Special menu for a while, but never made it over during the week. We were promptly seated in a booth in the back, a good spot for reconnecting. Literally, we could quickly break bread together - a fresh crusty sliced baguette brought promptly to the table. One of my friends ordered a bowl of Wonton Soup. We each selected different entrees: Pollo a la Brasa, their signature Peruvian rotisserie chicken, with Fried Rice; Lomo Chicken; and myself finally trying out their Boliche Mechado with Green (Cilantro) Rice. After the nice soup, our large platters came promptly. The rotisserie chicken also included some small salad and dipping sauce. The Lomo Chicken, stir-fried with tomato and onions, came with both Fries and Fried Rice. My wonderful Boliche Mechado was in a flavorful chorizo sauce that complemented well with my sizable portion of tasty Green Rice, served on the side. It was an awesome "Old School" setting to reconnect, never having to shout over music like many contemporary restaurants with filling, delicious food. Definitely, I anticipate making it back to this Flor de Mayo, perhaps eventually for one of those Lunch Specials!

    TLDR: If you've never had Chino Latino - you're depriving yourself of some crazy good stuff. Large portions, even larger flavors. Broiled pork chop, lomo saltado, squid ink fried rice, seco de res. You're welcome. I've been eating at the Amsterdam location for years but recently I've been coming to this one. It's a family run spot with a full Chino Latino menu. Think a collision of Chinese and Peruvian/Spanish. They've got some straight up Spanish things, totally Chinese and in between. For starters, definitely try the papa arequipena. It's a Peruvian potato either cold or fried with this red pepper sauce and hard boiled eggs and olives. It's a very unique flavor. If you're there on the weekends, grab the shrimp stew. It's an ultra tasty shrimp soup with rice, corn, a bit of spice. The broiled pork chops are probably my favorite pork chops anywhere. They're brined incredibly well are dotted with chopped garlic that caramelizes under the flame. It's so insanely juicy. Squid ink fried rice is a must. It's a squid ink coated fried rice with ham, shrimp, pease and a unique ginger flavor. The lomo saltado you definitely need to get. Sliced steak in a stir-fried sauce with onions, tomato and french fries on top of rice. The other items I'd recommend are the seco de res, a cilantro-centric tender beef stew. The tallarin verde is a Peruvianish pesto pasta, it's great with the garlic shrimp. No matter how much good stuff I've eaten, Flor de Mayo is in my list of restaurants I love going to and bringing visitors to. It's something that's tough to find but it's a testament to the melting pot that NYC is.

    Lomo Saltado (Steak)
    Vivienne C.

    Never had Chinese Peruvian food before so was very intrigued. Came on a weekday night and was surprised that the store was packed. Was able to get seated quickly and they allowed us (2 people) to sit at a 4 person table which was very nice of them. - Complimentary Bread - I don't know what they put in this bread, but I was a huge fan. The bread was so soft and hot... and with the butter, it was just perfection. I also loved the crust as it was very flaky and crisp. I could just eat this as a whole meal and be happy. - Lomo Saltado (Beef) - I was not a big fan of the fried rice on the side but this was one of the best Lomo Saltado I've had in the city. The tomatoes and onions were cooked to perfection as they were very soft and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beef was also very tender but crispy at the same time. - Chinese Style Squid Fried Rice - Not a big fan. Feel like there was a strong oily after-taste like the fried rice in the Lomo Saltado. I did appreciate how many ingredients there were, but it didn't feel very appetizing. Overall, would just recommend the bread and the Lomo Saltado if you do come here. Also, I have to say that it's refreshing to watch all the servers play around, it made me very happy to know that they all are great friends with one another.

    Chopped Beef Lunch Special
    Fiona O.

    The service was great. They never let us have an empty cup of water which I appreciated a lot and were friendly. In terms of food, the portion was amazing for the price (lunch specials). The chicken was my favorite. They kept the chicken so tender and juicy. Of course, the flavors were there too. The shredded beef was good, but I am not a huge fan to tomato base. Nothing wrong with the dish, just personal preference

    If you want some authentic Peruvian/Chinese food please go to "Flor de mayo". The staff are very friendly and attentive. The ambiance is a relaxed quiet environment. The food is to die for !!! I had the garlic shrimp, shrimp lomein and Lomo salteado!! Portions are big and the food is delicious! The sangria is fresh and strong!

    Lomo Saltado (Steak) with House Special Fried Rice
    Jenny M.

    Flor de Mayo is the one restaurant I always have to visit when I come back home. It's incredibly nostalgic for me, as I grew up eating here, and the food never disappoints. While prices have gone up over the years, the quality has remained consistent. My go-to dish is the Lomo Saltado with the house special fried rice. The shrimp in red sauce or the broiled fish with garlic and lemon are also fantastic choices. I'm not a fan of the Nutcracker, though it's very popular with others. I always pair my meal with a Tsingtao beer. The service is always great, and both locations offer the same quality food and hospitality. I just love this place!

    Pork chops fried. Dinner portion
    Mardory V.

    If you haven't been to Flor de Mayo yet, you're sorely overdue. Lomo Saltado, pork chops, and the roast chicken accompanied by the house fried rice cannot be beat. It's not a fancy place and certainly not where you impress colleagues. However, it is a darn good place to fill your belly and still have leftovers for the next day. The staff is diverse and so are their English skills. But they are helpful and eager to bring your hearts desire in food and liquid form. Their drinks are pretty phenomenal and strong. The sangria is a nice midpoint but their natural, non-alcoholic juices are a good option as well. Good eats. Downsides: not much fare for vegetarian/vegan folks, only 2 tiny bathrooms that can use some work and attention, if you have to wait to get a table stick close to the host or risk getting skipped. They take most forms of payment but cash is appreciated here.

    Chicken & Vegetables, House Fried Rice, Chicken Noodle Soup

    This location of Flor de Mayo Restaurant (Broadway & West 100 St.) is very good. The food is good, the staff is friendly & it's smaller than the Flor de Mayo on Amsterdam Ave. (Whose food isn't as good lately) The steak & onions was very tender & tasty, the white rice was cooked perfectly & the stewed beans were good. The house fried rice was good, as was the chicken & vegetables & the chicken noodle soup & of course the avocado salad & fried sweet bananas are always good. It was a late lunch/early dinner so it wasn't crowded or noisy & the staff was very accommodating. I recommend this particular location.

We ordered the octopus, tuna tartare, skirt steak, and chicken, along with a margarita and the Palermo Mezcal cocktail. Every single item was exceptional. Even the complimentary bread that came out at the beginning was a 10/10. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we loved being able to watch the kitchen prepare our food from our table. It's a small kitchen, which makes it even more impressive that they're consistently turning out such thoughtful and delicious dishes. I noticed some reviews mentioning slow service, but I honestly think those people missed the entire point of the experience. Palermo isn't meant to be rushed. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and feels like you're sitting in someone's living room enjoying a meal they've carefully prepared just for you. We never felt pressured to order quickly or rushed through our meal, which made the experience even better. Every dish was meticulously prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell that everything is made with care and attention to detail. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, Palermo created an experience that felt warm, intentional, and memorable. If you're looking for a spot that makes you feel like you've been transported to Argentina, where you're welcomed to slow down, enjoy great company, and savor your meal at your own pace, this is the place for you. Palermo delivers more than just incredible food--it creates an experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and authentic, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
