    CARNE ASADA
    Millie C.

    We went to Puertas to celebrate our friend's 35th Wedding Anniversary. The cocktails were amazing and did not disappoint. The food was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and kept checking on us which we appreciated. Puertas is beautiful and is dedicated to the salsa community which is so nice. Given how cold it was outside and how it wasn't crowded, I would have appreciated if the music was just a tad lower. It was difficult to hear the conversation at times and it was only four of us. We all enjoyed our time and meal at Puertas!

    EL CUBANO

    Drinks and customer service were great. Came in on a Monday evening so there was no wait for a table. We ordered the cuban sandwich and the pernil with rice and plantain. The pernil was a bit dry but everything else tasted great. I'd try something else on the menu next time.

    I went for a friend's birthday brunch recently and the vibe and decor is so vibrant and fun. The wait staff was a bit slow, but glad they accommodated a party of 7 because it's a small place. The cocktails were delicious, and the food was pretty good with generous portions. My only 2 complaints were that the food was a bit over-salted and it took an extremely long time (over an hour) to get out entrees after the appetizers (and it wasn't crowded at that time).

    Came here with the family for a birthday celebration. This is my second time here. Staff is amazing. There's nothing but great vibes here. Music is good and food is absolutely delicious. There is a variety of amazing dishes to choose from. I heard they offering an amazing brunch options as well. Love this place!

    Ceviche with tostones and fCALAMARI FRITTO
    Millie C.

    Very nice ambience and attentive staff. At the bar, I had the Lavoe martini which was excellent. We started with the guacamole and fried Tostones. We also tried the ceviche which to be honest, had more vegetables than seafood, but still tasty. The calamari Frito was very good. The dipping sauce was OK. Shout out to the live salsa band they were great! The place is small but has a lot of potential. The menu prices are good and there's so many amazing entrées to so I'll definitely be going back.

    Coconut flan, very good

    Puertas took over Xin, and what can you say when one takes over a home and keeps the decor but the vibe is very different. When I thought of a different place to eat locally I wanted to try Puertas. I can honestly say the ghost of Xin has vanished. Xin opened @10 years ago and was the first slightly upscale Chinese restaurant in Bay Ridge. Unfortunately, it declined over the years and now the " door" was opened for Puertas. Puertas offers numerous options for Latin cuisine but the menu is not overwhelming. One can start with ceviche or calamari fritters for appetizers and then opt for traditional Latin cuisine like Pernil,, Carne asada, Garlic shrimp to a simple burger. My friend and I shared the House Special salad which was very good: avocados, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro and greens in a light vinaigrette. Smashing! We sipped our cocktails: Margherita for myself ( delicious) and an Espresso Martini for my friend. The live band at this point started jamming and singing Cuban songs. " Bessame Mucho" Then our main entrees arrived: my friend ordered Ropa Vieja, shredded flank steak in an onion red sauce with rice and maduros. She liked it didn't love it. I absolutely loved the Pollo Guisafo: the braised chicken stew with potatoes, carrots, olives in a tomato broth served with white rice. The chicken was tender and the broth very flavorful. It was absolutely delicious and the portion generous thus I took half home. A side of tostones was also served and they were tasty but missing some salsa verde to dip in. The music at this point was extremely loud thus we both ordered another round of Margaritas. It's amazing how alcohol can numb the ringing in your ears. To top off the night we ordered the Coconut Flan to share. It could have been renamed Flan cheesecake due to the density. It wasn't a traditional flan, sauce was underneath. Let's call it an upside down flan! The service was exemplary and on point. Our waitress checked on us a few times and that is appreciated ( water, extra napkins, drink order etc). The only disconnect is the band, yes live music is appreciated. However, one should be told that if seated in the back the band will be right there. I made reservations online and didn't see options for seating. It's difficult to have a conversation when music is blaring. I can definitely recommend Puertas but will be sure to inquire about seating next time. Now, all I hear in my head is "Guantanamera" I need another Margarita....

    Bandaeja Paisa was Outstanding

    Three of us got the bandeja paisa The fourth got a Cuban sandwich. Everything was fantastic. We had red and white sangria. Also had crème brûlée and Tres Leche. Everything was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.

    Birthday girl, crème brûlée and COCONUT FLAN!

    Today I celebrated my birthday with friends and had the best experience! The food was delicious and my mocktail mango mojito was soooo good-thank you Kelvin. Gustavo and Kevin were friendly, knowledgeable and funny! When our desserts arrived with fireworks and singing it took the ambiance to another level. Can't wait to return!

    COCONUT FLAN.  Star  of the NIGHT coffee is a must to cut the richness ..

The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear

Additionally, the cocktail options are nicely priced: sangria from $8, cervezas from $5 and mixed drinks from $12. The menu offers traditional Mexican fare; my favorite is the cheese enchiladas with a verde sauce which myself and friend Sally ordered. It is a very filling entree: three enchiladas, yellow rice, salad, beans in a verde sauce. The verde sauce has a nice kick to it. My friend Cathryn ordered chicken enchiladas. They also serve great tortas and my friend Virginia ordered the Chicken torta; hearty sandwich with Chicken Milanese. As an appetizer, we ordered the always fresh and delicious guacamole and Totopos. The cocktails were flowing: $5 Coronas with lime, Rainbow Margaritas, Sangria and a Rye Smash. The music selections are always great and had us bopping as we dined. Service is always on point and professional. There is a backyard for Al fresco dining. Coszcal de Allende has been an outstanding Mexican restaurant I have dined at for @20 years.

    No snickering. This is largely because of the sweet customer service. A three star review for more…read morelike two star quality. It is not saying much for a city that really lacks in Mexican cuisine. To say I did not give this restaurant a fair shake is like saying I only went to an ice cream shop and only ordered the cone. I went all out there, which is maybe why I received the service I received, or maybe it is because I sat next to what appeared to be my server's children. Whatever the case, I was treated well here. Onto the food. The Sopa Azteca (their tortilla soup) is a nice change from what I had at a previous Mexican restaurant. I would like the portion to be bigger and more meat in it, but I like the Mexican spices and the variety here. It is quite enjoyable. The Queso Fundido should be called a Queso No Divertido. It was awful to eat, with lousy flavor and texture. This is the second time I have struck out with this appetizer. It is safe to say I am done ordering it in this city. Nobody does it right. The Paella is nice, but at its core has the essence of a nice dish. Some parts are full of tremendous flavor, and some parts are dry and bland. I ate this all out of necessity, and also because once I mixed the bland with the good it actually turned into something quite pleasant. The chicken enchiladas I ordered because it would not be fair to come here and pass up something Tex-Mex as an entree. The chicken is inconsistent, well cooked in some spots, dry in others. The salsa verde has a lot of kick here, but the side salad and charro beans nearly ruin the whole thing. At least the Mexican rice is fluffy and has great flavor. Speaking Spanish to the staff helped curry points in the service department. I like family owned businesses. Everybody was busy and on point. So what if the food does not wow, I have given more, for less. Hence why this is a three star review and not a two star review.

The waitress her name was Jennifer, she was very nice and accommodating. I didn't experience any attitude or rudeness from any of the staff which was good. My only complaint is that she didn't write down our order which in turn got our food all wrong. I ordered the burger well done, my chick ordered hers medium. Well I ended up with the medium and she got the well done. We wanted cheddar cheese, well we both got swiss. We wanted truffle fries and we both ended up with regular fries. So yeah this pretty much goes down to not writing exactly what we wanted and us getting whatever food they felt like giving us. I would recommend next time to please write down customers orders so that the paying customer gets exactly what he's paying for. I will say again the food was very good but they screwed up the orders. Will I go back, I don't know but I hope in future they write orders down so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

The bar had a table in the front two corner with around 5 chairs per table and a table for maybe 2-3 people in front of the dj/karaoke setup. It happened to be karaoke night. Also, noone was sitting at the bar area at the time. There's also just one bathroom in the back of the bar. Since we just had dinner, we only ordered drinks. As always, we ordered 2 long islands. The drinks were lite at first, so it didn't feel as if there's much alcohol in them, but it hits later. Overall not a bad drink for the cost. I believe it was $12 per drink. Of course one drink isn't enough so we decided to get another drink similar to a long island but has blue curacao. We showed the server/bartender a picture of it and they said they could make it. We've never had the drink before so I can't compare it to other places. The drink was pretty good, but we still prefer the long islands more. Not that the drink didn't have enough alcohol though. Moving onto the vibes of the bar... it's very different from city vibes. It may be that my friend and I were the youngest ones there and everyone else were much older. Kudos to the singers though, they had such good lungs to assist with their singing. They were very much in tune and on beat. Would I come here again? Yes. But maybe not on karaoke night, since it was really difficult to hear my friend speak and have a conversation without asking him to repeat himself.
