Sometimes it's the local gems that have your mouth watering Stopped by la puerta roja this weekend where they have both indoor and outdoor seating and Latin music that can be heard throughout. They offer a 90 minute unlimited mimosas/sangria/margarita/champagne/blood Mary option for brunch, while allowing you to also order off their dinner menu. We dabbled in both brunch and dinner and it was such a flavorful experience. I literally dip my tostones in every dish with gravy and each bite was delicious! Not a fan of the oxtail (Not pictured), but I'll def be back to make my way through the rest of the menu. read more

Great local spot to grab delicious food and great sangria. The service is great and this place has become our local spot!

This restaurant we a nice space to go to on a strangely warm day in Brooklyn in November. They had outdoor seats at the time so we opted for that. I posted an assortment of pictures because I was there with a few other people but I can only speak to 2 meals for taste and quality. All the portion sizing were very big and worth the money. Hands down the best part of the meal was the 3 trio empanadas. They were delicious! We ordered 2 rounds. I had the salmon, and it was also delicious. My only issue was the garlic sauce was extremely salty. I made the unfortunate mistake of adding my rice to the sauce before tasting it and I ended up having to separate them again. The tostones were big and shareable for the table ! Also delicious. My partner got the pork chops and they were also really delicious. Overall, I enjoyed this spot but if you get the salmon taste the sauce first! read more

I love coming here! I come here with my boyfriend he showed me this place or with his family we love the food and the drinks and the music! There service is amazing always checking on us and making sure everything is correct and they're extremely fast and friendly. They do not hold back on the liquor in your drinks so you will feel the liquor in just one drink itself but overall it's really good. My favorite things on the menu to get here is their calamari ! The calamari is a good portion while you wait for your main dish and it's super yummy with their chipotle sauce on the side it comes with. I recommend to try their trio empanadas very filling and delicious i was surprised to see a shrimp empanada but it was delicious! As for food my go to is the steak sandwich! Very delicious and comes with a side of fries it's super juicy and fills you up well! Their nachos are also good ! I've tried the steak nachos great portion to share.For the drinks their pina coladas are my favorite very delicious looks good for pictures and the liquor really gets to you after just one! Their margaritas both frozen and regular are delicious too ! Overall 10/10 experience here and the music always makes you want to dance while you're eating great vibes! read more

The food here is sooooo good. I got the enchiladas suizas and as an enchilada lover, these were probably one of the best I've ever had. The drinks are super strong, which is good for the price, but I could barely finish my moscow mule! The service was also great, super helpful and nice. My party of two was sat almost immediately on a friday night. The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated but honestly pretty loud. Between the music and the kitchen, I felt like I was yelling across the table. I can't wait to come back here to enjoy their delicious food! read more

- plantains/tostones were perfect - the garlic butter with the to stones made it more perfect - Guacamole was tasteless - pork chop was extra salty - protons are large - service wasn't the best, the waiter offered almost no help with suggestions - drinks are strong at first, but settle in - The steak churrasco was good - they have outdoor dining that's not in the street - festive latin music good for a birthday celebration - my table was the least stable table ever - salads were tasty read more

Skirt Steak Sandwich Bread was soft and fresh. Steak was cooked perfectly. Fries were perfectly salted with a mix of crispy and soft. My order arrived on time, was still warm and the delivery person was friendly. I will definitely order from here again. read more

Went for brunch, many choices for a brunch menu. I Opted for the poached egg on salmon. Very fresh, the potatoes were crunchy, not mushy. Always a plus. The guacamole was very nice a wonderful blend of smooth and chunky. Served in a really heavy bowl I had the Bloody Mary, ok I had two of them. I thought it was interesting that it was served with lemon and not lime. To each it's own, when in Rome... It's a cute place, not too big not to small. It's local but not too local. Very nice bathroom love the paintings. Hector Lavoe would be proud! I look forward to trying out more brunch items and see if I can swap my lemon for a lime. read more

Came here for a quick early bite. Outdoor seating during Covid... Very simple Mexican food.. great neighborhood and great staff. The drinks were a bit watered down but still enjoyed my lunch. I didn't like their oxtail which I took home for dinner. Could've definitely used a bit more seasoning and fat trimmed. Just a cool place to come have a bite. I'd like to try a few other items from the menu so I'll be back. read more

I love it there the food is 10/10. Drinks are amazing and set at a really great price. Customer service is good too and the staff is friendly. Music is also really good and will make sure you're having a good time. The one thing I've noticed is rice portion becoming smaller and smaller with every visit. read more

Best Mexican food ever. My husband never eats guacamole but it was so good even he couldn't resist. We also had seafood croquettes, fish tacos, and chicken sandwich - everything was above and beyond. Casual vibes, good people. We plan to be back. read more

The service here is declining and it shows!! What once use to be a great local spot is now an empty eye sore. The servers here have become greedy and less helpful. My last straw here was when I received terrible service and Miguel had the nerve to add 20% tip the bill. When I asked why was it automatically added he stated this what they always did. That obviously wasn't true because I frequently ate there and never had tip included. I attached 2 receipts from the same week, one has tip and the other does not. I also double tipped because I was unaware of the auto gratuity until after he swiped my card. When I asked to have the additional tip removed he said he could not because they were closing and I would have to come back tomorrow. read more

Waiters were not attentive as they kind of stayed in their own world. I would have ordered more drinks but it seemed like I always had to look for my waiter. Food was ok and the prices fair. My girlfriend ordered a Paloma which was great and when she finally got to order her second they brought her a margarita. The default gratuity is set for 18%, 20% & 22% on their handheld scanner but you can change it to what you like as I did ...LOL I would not eat here again. read more

What can I say, the food that I had was good. We had the Bandeja Paisa. However everything else was ooohh so wrong!!! The staff is not friendly or helpful at all. I asked for green sauce for the meat which was given to me. However since it's a lot of meat I had to ask for more. When my bill came I was charged extra for the sauce. When I asked why I was being charged and after no one telling me that I would be charged the waiter called the hostess. She informs me that charge came from the kitchen and that they charge what the cook said that they needed to charge me the sauce. $2.00 per little cup!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!! I explain that when you order Bandeja Paisa anywhere it brings sauce and that what I asked for and she said well we have three sauces it was another green sauce that goes with the meat. I asked why that one was brought out and she's said oh you said Green Sauce not Chimichurri! Are you kidding me!!!! I don't work here to know all the names if there sauces plus I asked for the sauce that went with my dish. The staff are nasty and incompetent a very dangerous combination. Also the ambience was terrible. There was a table with two kids the staff allowed them to run around the whole restaurant; like if his was a playground. They threw their hats & scarves all around the restaurant. They hit my chair over and over and the staff did nothing. The kids ran into the kitchen area and banged on things and no one said anything. It was disgusting to see that one of the children peed there pants and the staff did not say anything as he continued to run around and rub his wet crotch all over the tables, chair, curtains, on his hat that he kept throwing all around. All and all this was my second visit my sisters first and trust me with no care of hygiene, lack of customer service and rude staff I will not be back. read more

First time here with my husband and the food was amazing! We ordered Bandeja Paisa to share, the steak was so juicy and not overcooked at all. We also loved the skirt steak tacos very flavorful The passion fruit mojitos was pretty strong and tasty, not the water down ones you usually get in other places. Cozy atmoSphere and great customer service. I would bring my friends here for sure. read more

I come here often because the grilled Latin food is amazing. They have an open kitchen which is only bad because you smell all the amazing food and you're hungry and drooling as soon as you sit down. There was one time I was feeling lazy and unadventurous and got the burger. This was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Juicy, flavorful, and truly memorable. I ordered it with everything (avocado, egg, bacon I typically get the Churrasco or the Bandeja Paisa. Both options provide you with a juicy, hearty steak. The Bandeja Paisa provide you with a little more variety in the essence of crispy pork, and savor chorizo. Honestly, I think the churrasco serves you a slightly better steak, but that could be because that's all it is... Steak. Personally, I love crispy pork so I tend to favor the Bandeja Paisa. I've had the tacos, and while they are good, they are fairly expensive for their size. I don't know how I found this restaurant, but I am certainly glad I did. read more

I stopped in here with a friend on NYE for a bite to eat. We were actually so fortunate that the restaurant was still open and we could be seated. The staff was very kind and explained any questions we had about the menu. Although the music was a bit loud it did set an interesting mood for all the patrons in celebration of the holiday. The food was delicious. I ordered the lemon thyme chicken and was very satisfied. My chicken was never dry and the lemon flavor was delicious. It was very zesty but at the same time very tasty. My friend ordered the steak and his place was completely empty when we were done. read more

Chose this place due to its outdoor dinning option being empty. Food is just ok super overpriced. Used to have a good bartender at least but this time my $15 mojito was syrup with no mint or any resemblance to a mojito. My utensils were dirty and waiter had his finger deep in the guacamole as he was carrying it to the table. It's a no from me. read more

This is our spot! Drinks are amazing food is amazing! This time I stepped out my norm and ordered the seafood soup! It was delicious! I accompanied the soup with an order of calamari and a coconut margarita! The team is always polite and welcoming! When the 7 year old calls it her spot you know it's good! Music is always pumping and it's a vibe! Love it here! read more

Yuuuukkkkkkk!!! This is not it!! Didn't even finish it. My 10 yo spit her food out. I ordered the pork chops and rice and salad. The salad was a no show and the rice was stale. Pork chops was ok. Beef empanadas was HORRIBLE!!!!!! Gave it to my dog. Tostones was good. Spent 100 bucks and only ate 10 bucks worth. read more

I came here for dinner during the Flatbush frolic! It is not a large space but they accommodated a very large party. It had such a warm and welcoming ambiance. The owner and the waiters/waitress were nothing short of wonderful! I got the tropical punch cocktail w rum instead of vodka and all three empanadas (chicken, beef and shrimp). The beef was delicious, the chicken was okay and the shrimp was... not so good. It had the overbearing taste of old oil. The rest of the family had salmon which they said was stellar, a seafood soup that was "okay" and steak that was decent. We'd love to come back. read more

Great place with awesome food. Guac is great if you ask for less salt. Fish tacos are to die for even if you are not a fan of fish. Chicken enchiladas are delicious too. My family did not like the empanadas too much. Great drinks especially mojito read more

Really loved the shirt steak. Three of us got it and loved it! The hibiscus margarita was yummy too. I wish the tres leche cake was soaked in more leche. Guacamole was good. All in all--we would definitely return. Perfect for the kids (nice and loud)! read more

Husband and I visited for the first time last night. I was very impressed. I always find it extremely annoying when you walk into a Latino restaurant of any culture and theyre playing mainstream English music. Makes no sense. But not here. All types of Salsa was on and it set the mood just right. Pulpp ceviche deliciously prepared. Our meals were superd. Cooked to perfection. The churros for dessert capped it off perfectly. My mojito was nice and strong, they did not skimp. Will definitely come back and bring some friends along. Oh and our waiter Miguel was awesome as well. Very attentive and it seemed like he was the only one on a crowded night. read more

I love the variety in the menu here. We went out to eat and some of us were pescatarian, others straight up meat lovers and some in between and they had something for everyone. The only thing we weren't a fan of was the white rice--it had a weird taste to it. Not regular white rice like in other Spanish restaurants. However, everything else was really good. They have a variety of appetizers, sides, entrees and drinks. I would definitely go back and try other dishes. They currently have lots of outdoor seating as well. read more

The food is always good and the drinks also. I just wish the service was better. It's a small spot but unfortunately sometimes the waiter is also doing double duty as the bartender so that slows things down. The staff is nice except for one waiter who always looks upset. Nice neighborhood spot especially when it's warm out and you can sit outside. read more

I was excited to see a new restaurant in Flatbush! I love Hispanic and Latin food so this place is right up my alley. Everything I have tried is delicious. I ordered the enchiladas, rice and beans and asparagus. I am in love with the steak sandwich. The drinks are amazing. They have happy hour DAILY! The Piña Colada is out of this world. The margarita is delicious on the rocks or frozen! I really love the cozy feel of the place. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.

I usually prefer not to write review at all unless I have something good to say. However, the experience is so bad, I was compelled to do it. We came on Sunday, ordered guacamole with chips- questionable portion size, scraping guacamole from the bottom of the big dish. Next came my order of yucca fries and a plate of baked jerk chicken wings- there was nothing "jerk" about the dish, and had spoiled meat smell to it. We called the waiter, and returned the dish, his took it back to the kitchen. When he returned back, asked "Nothing else?" Well, bad service to top bad food!!! read more

Was looking for something different in this era of Covid. I was very pleasantly surprised by my meal and the service received. They were extremely professional and the food was better than I had hoped for. Had the arugula salad which I whole heartedly recommend. Than a Steak sandwich with great French Fries total yum. My friend had the salmon which looked great. Other than the abundance of garlic she loved it. I'll be back for sure. As should you read more

Today we had the lemon chicken with rice and black beans, the steak sandwich and mozzarella cheese fries. Overall I give them a 3.5 because the drinks weren't strong. The steak sandwich was tasty lots of peppers and few pieces of steak and the cheese was a little cold. The rice and beans was ok but the lemon chicken was very tender and tasty. Great atmosphere, staff is friendly and loved the decor. read more

We've ordered takeout from here twice and we were impressed both times. Staff was super friendly and picking up during these times was super easy. First time I ordered the salmon and my husband ordered the steak. For take out the steak was cooked medium as he requested and was perfect by the time we walked home and ate it. The second time we both ordered the chicken and liked it. We look forward to ordering more from here and make our way through the entire menu. read more
