    Pork Belly (Chicharron) with an arepita
    Geraldine E.

    This woman owned Colombian European restaurant has mismatched furniture and raunchy photos all over. This has been one of the best meals I had in a while. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food: Olives Pork belly (Chicarron) with a fluffy arepa and a spicy sauce Dry Aged burger with cheddar and aioli (well seasoned and melts in your mouth) Yucca fries ( slightly crispy exterior and tender inside) Chipperbec French fries Lamb Loin chops with shallots (tender, juicy and flavorful) Bushlicker (mezcal, aloe liqueur and passionfruit) Orange wine Flourless chocolate cake with arequipe [dulce de leche] (Perfectly smooth sweet and salty) Come check this place out and tell them I sent you. You won't regret it. Glad to have stopped by for this wonderful dinner. This place is also LQBT friendly. Follow my food Instagram:eatingwithetienne

    Maite cocktails and rainbow carrots with anchovy
    Meg L.

    Another favorite in the area! This place has it all. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all 10/10. The waiter recommended the drink maite and that was personally my favorite. We loved the carrots with anchovy butter- it didn't even taste like carrots! The empanaditas rotate daily and today it was pork cheek. Other days, there are variety of different fillings with duck patte being another favorite. Their yuca fries were perfectly salted and they have really mastered the art of fried food. We loved the small, quaint, intimate environment. Sad that this is only open on the weekends but I heard they are expanding their hours soon.

    Burrata Negra and focaccia
    Nicollet L.

    I've been coming here for a few months now and I normally don't write reviews for places but I just HAD to for Maite! First of all, the decor ambiance is so fun--they're always playing great music and all of the decor on the walls is queer-themed and so cool. The staff is super nice. I've never been when they're really busy but whenever I am there the service is always prompt and friendly. Ok, now on to the reason I'm writing this review. All the food I've tried here has been great, but the Burrata Negra dish is astonishingly good. I've never had anything like it and I go back every couple of months just to eat this one thing. I think about it constantly. I believe it's priced at $18 at the time of this review and it is SO worth it. The squid ink sauce is so deep and flavorful and an incredible compliment to the quality burrata nested in the middle. The focaccia they serve it with is always warm and chewy and smoky from the grill and like dripping with delicious olive oil. It's a peak food experience and it feels so well balanced and just perfect! You haveee to try it if you go. The drink menu is also great! I'm always happy with the drinks here.

    Rib eye
    Warren L.

    Went there on a Wednesday night. The place was pretty busy. The wait staff said they were not quite prepared for the amount of customers. With that being said. The service was good and friendly. The cocktails were good. Atmosphere was hip. The food was just ok. Yuca fries was interesting and good. The burrata was in a weird sauce. The roasted tomatoes were ok. The empanadas were good. Pork belly was good. And the Rib eye was just ok. It was a pleasurable dinning experience. Not sure if I would go back

    Burrata
    Melissa D.

    This place is awesome, casual yet attentive service and laid back semi-scandalous decor create just the right vibe in this cozy corner restaurant. They do ask that you put in your full order so they can time it for you which sometimes turns out to be a disaster of waiting too long or being rushed through courses, but it was perfectly timed. Here's what we ordered: Burrata & Squid Ink - striking to the eye and the palate. A fluffy cloud of burrata floats in a sea of black as dark as my soul. The sauce appears to be thick and heavy but it's incredibly light and creamy on the tongue. I didn't get a pic of the bread that comes on the side but it was hot, steamy perfection. Scallops and trumpet mushrooms - really great portion for the price, the mushrooms are thinly shaved and soak up all of the buttery goodness, total flavor bomb. Asparagus & Ricotta - well executed and tasty version of a classic dish. Burger - two options to order for temp, pink or cooked through, we opted for pink. Burger was good but not great, only thing it was missing was a nice char, texturally between the bun and burger it just felt too uniform and soft. Still a good burger. Yucca fries- had no business being as crunchy and satisfying as they were. 100% will crave these and come back for a glass of wine and these bad boys. Check this place out, it was really good :)

    Whipped ricotta with focaccia

    Super expensive - $18 for the whipped ricotta & one thing of focaccia. Vibe of the place was super nice - lights were dim and different colors. Service was good, but it took forever for my burger...until I followed up 30min later and they never put the order in

    Cute place and vibe- my burger was amazing , lamb was good but the kale and mushroom side tasted like old fish and really killed our palette. Would have given this place more stars otherwise !

    Olives, chicharron, squash app, brooklyn bounds.
    Al S.

    I've been coming to Maite for about 5 years-- every single time it's a fantastic experience so it's become me and my partner's "spot." The food truly never disappoints! We love that the chefs change the menu relatively often, giving us a chance to try all of their brilliant ideas for meals. Definitely doesn't hurt that it's owned by the two female head chefs (love to support that.) My previous favorite was the rabbit tagliatelle dish (from years ago) so I was thrilled to see rabbit on their menu again . For our meal this past Friday we went with the empanaditas, olives, the squash and feta app, the chicharron, I got the rabbit, and my partner got the steak (as always). Wow, just wow. Fantastic service as per usual, never-fails delicious food, and we each had a few of our favorite cocktail called Brooklyn Bound (has also stayed on the menu since I can remember -- with good reason.) I highly recommend this place if you want a delicious night out.

The bruschetta and asparagus were delicious, but left something to be desired compared to the other dishes.

I had a old fashion to drink, needed something that will warm me up for the cold weather. The ambiance was cute, and chic. You can tell that the workers run it like a little food family and I love that the most about El Born. Will definitely come again ans try out their brunch , heard it was amazing.

There is local artwork on the wall (for sale if that is your goal), there are dozens of seats between couches, tables and even an old wooden desk from the 1930's. There's also a great outdoor patio with some covered tables and chairs. Effortless cool, this is it. Coffee: 5/5. We had the espresso and cortado. Both were rich and dark, and came in a nice porcelain cup. We appreciate the small touches, because coffee in paper cups is just not as tasty. Ambiance: 5/5. The decor is perfect for creative types looking for remote work locations. Plush couches, small high top tables with bankers lights, and a few long coffee tables makes this place ideal for work or socializing. The noise level on a Sunday afternoon was muted, but it might be louder during weekdays. Value: 5/5. The prices are well below market value for Greenpoint, about $1-$2 less than other coffee bars. And they have so many mocktails under $10! Wow it's like 2018 in here!

Not too spicy but not wimpy either. Red Ricer is worth a visit if you want great coffee served with a warm coffee house vibe.

Pineapple pork fried rice - Aside from the hollowed out pineapple that it came in, the presentation was a little weak (mostly rice, and very small pieces of toppings). The rice lacked color, which ultimately, did make the dish lean on the bland side. I did not think it had enough wok hei (flavor and aroma that comes from being cooked on a wok).

It was pretty different from a traditional banh mi except for the veggies. I was not a fan of the sesame seed bun. The pork croqueta was ok but not wow in any way. 2/5 The restaurant is a bit out of the way. Easy to find parking because there's nothing else around.
