Went on a Friday with no reservations. They were super kind and fast with service. I came in hungry and order a ton - I had the tostone rellenos and ensalado del puerto. They hit! The tostone was creative, elegant and best bite of the evening. The salad had so much veggies and was very fresh the dressing it comes with is vibrant and lime-y. Great start to a meal. I had Churrasco which came with yellow rice and black beans. It was incredible, and I always get a tad scared with skirt steaks being overcooked but it was the perfect medium with grilled marks. The chimichurri was great too. I am nit-picking here but a little more salt and pepper on everything would of been great. Don't come with out having the sangria, they pack a punch!

I had the oxtail (rabo) and overall the food tasted heavy and oily - and with the oxtail not having…read moremuch meat, the dish leaned to be too carb-heavy, for me. I'll have to come back to see if I can figure out a combination to make the meal taste better balanced, but I didn't see much when I was there. The people are very friendly though, the place clean, and the portions are generous. Not much to offer for sit-in eating other than the counter by the window.

I have found myself within Kalina on several occasions while meandering along to the rumble of the…read moreJ and very rarely The Elusive Z. Behind the counter there is a welcoming selection of foods and treats of all shapes and sizes for people of all shapes and sizes: chickens, piglets, plantains, rices, coffee, soups, chicharrones, sweets, etc. The pernil and mangú make a heavy and nutritiously unbalanced meal that is delicious and slides down the gullet like a well-lubricated endoscope. I would highly recommend this combination. The mondongo is also very tasty, and its tripe is not overly chewy. In my several experiences, the amount of food in one plate is in fact enough for two meals. You shall find the prices to be quiet reasonable. Think around $10 for a a meal of great heft in the 2026th year of our Lord. The space is pleasant, with many tables for dining and socialization. There is also a bar for when you wish to go out on the town.

It was a "Small" order which isn't a great value compared to most Spanish local restaurants. The order was palm size and for the cost it was definitely not worth it at all. You can get bigger and better portion at La Isla or other Spanish owned restaurants. The meat was so dry I had to throw it all away. I hate wasting food. I'm truly against food waste. I even order from "Too Good To Go" on a daily basis to prevent food from going to waste. But this here was not edible. And this was not a too good to go order. This was a regular walk in order and I couldn't get past how old and stale the perñil was when I got home. I try to be mindful and give the best reviews possible but I can't fathom writing anything nice about a place people rave so much about that isn't good. Don't do it!

I honestly didn't know what most of them were so I just pointed LOL. Later found out I got the stewed beef. The plantains were very crispy on the outside and tender inside - some of the best plantains I've had. A delicious rice and red beans as well. The stewed beef was a bit overcooked, though there were a few juicy and tender pieces. They are EXTREMELY generous with the portions so expect it to be overflowing. There is a $10 minimum for credit card, I believe. Since their prices are so cheap you'll probably need to add a drink. Overall, great and cheap place to have some Dominican food. There's a few tables inside to eat at, too. Definitely go check it out!

Food offerings are pretty vast but consist mostly of fast food take-out options. Been here three times and I can tell you the quick take-out bite options are a hit and miss. The cheese fried dough empanada was a bit too fried on one side and the cheese wasn't a typical Venezuelan cheese but tasted like a subpar mozzarella cheese. I wouldn't order this again. The arepas here are the fried kinds and if you get them fresh they should be good. However the star of anything here will have to be the actual meals you can order - not the quick bite items. We've had great soups here and they have good specials at times. This place is doesn't really have much seating and is more of a take-out counter service.

While working in Brooklyn, NY, I was looking for a Colombian spot to have lunch in Brooklyn, NY,…read more"Arepa's Latin Food" was one of the results. Now this place is VENEZUELAN. Both Colombians and Venezuelans have Arepas. Both are very good but also very different. Arepa's Latin Food has a killer, unbeatable breakfast AND lunch special. Everything is home cooked. And their lunch special is only $9.00. YUP. THATS RIGHT. JUST $9.00. For that price you get a small bowl of soup. Usually chicken or beef. Then they give you the entree. This is usually chicken, beef or some other protein. This comes with rice, beans, salad AND Maduros. I DEFY YOU TO BEAT THIS DEAL. Great deal for the neighborhood. Terrific little place making an actual difference in the neighborhood. Feeding good, home cooked food to the neighborhood.

Where have the White Maize bowls been all my life?…read more Ordering a healthy bowl option is anyways my weeknight go to if I'm ordering delivery. I loved the combos for this bowl - chorizo bowl (add shrimp for $3.50!!!) and it comes with beans, rice, plantains, and a huge amount of avocado. What a dream combo! And all this for ~$18. What an amazing value. We also splurged on a cheese cachapa which was delicious. Highly highly recommend! Delivery was fast, and they event wrote my name out with a heart on the bag. Cuuute. White Maize is my new go to weekday dinner delivery!

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and a bowl was perfect because it was not too heavy, it was just right. And the cheese on the rice was definitely something new. The only critique that we have about our order is that we ordered 3 empanadas, 2 beef and 1 plantain and cheese but instead we got 3 plantain and cheese empanadas so Uber had to refund us the money for the empanadas. We were really looking forward to the beef and we ordered the empanadas separately, not as a trio, to avoid any mistakes; yet whoever took the order made the mistake anyway. Despite this error, the food was amazing, and I look forward to eating from there again in the future
