GREAT FOOD PERIOD! Last night my sister and I stopped by a little before 9 and got a table outside for dinner. I, unfortunately, don't remember our server's name but him and the gentlemen that served our food and cleaned our table were very nice. We ordered two frozen Pina Coladas, I ordered the Carnes Asada and she ordered the Camarones en Tomate. Everything looked and smelled delicious, I didn't even want to ruin my plate. But of course, I did for a good cause. Pros - nice size portioned shrimp and the sauce was delicious - the steak was buttery and perfectly seasoned everything about the plate was good. - Sweet plantains weren't fried too hard, just right - You'll definitely need a reservation for the later hours. We got lucky with snatching the last available table, but we were eating I noticed that cars were double parking just waiting for a res. - This restaurant is truly a neighborhood treasure and full of good vibes. Cons - I should have ordered a 32oz and not a 16oz drink! I'll definitely be coming back for takeout and trying out the other dishes. Thanks for a nice escape from quarantine. read more

Very disappointing experience. There was a bug in my food, and because I had already eaten part of the meal before noticing, the restaurant refused a refund and only offered a free drink. The waiter also served the wrong tequila and then poured water into my tequila glass. I hadn't been here in five years and only returned to support someone hosting an event. This visit reminded me why I stopped coming. read more

The service is sketchy the bills are all messed up. Tonight we had Karaoke I ordered a steak quesadilla it was &14.00 II've also had to send food back at other times. Other people also are sending back food and drinks. They have to do better.The place is welcoming and there is seating outside with tables and umbrellas to keep the sun off of you while you eat. read more

I came here recently for my co-worker's birthday celebration and I'm a bit indifferent about the experience. For one, the place is big and I do like that there was an indoor and an enclosed outdoor section. There were tons of heaters that made sitting outdoors comfortable. Indoors were a bar and high tables with a live DJ. It was packed and there was one server that was attending to the backyard. He was a bit overwhelmed and was trying but then gave me the wrong drink and meal. When I got my correct drink (mango margarita), all the mango syrup was at the bottom and it didn't have the kick in it that I thought it would have. The chicken tacos were decent, it was just a bit bland and needed a bit more seasoning. In the end, the server didn't seem compassionate about my drink situation and food and even charged me as well. This place seems to have a lot of potential, but isn't equipped to handle large amounts of people and catering to customer service. read more

I sat at the bar for at least 10 minutes before the server even acknowledged my presence. He said that he had to count his register. I told him that was his problem. The place was not busy. This place fell off big time. Service is unamazing, food is just "so so". I'm sure they would be faster and more attentive if they weren't located in Harlem, or if I were not melinated. They are under new management, and they don't understand customer service. read more

I dropped by here after a musical performance, late on a Saturday night. My friend and I were looking for some late night eats and fortunately the kitchen was open. Yay! We sat at the bar, and the ambience was pretty casual and fine. Music volume was good, and the place wasn't too crowded. The outdoor areas were pretty neat, too. Unfortunately, we had a difficult time with the food & beverage. The bartender was busy, which is fine, and took about 10 minutes to flag him down to order. I ordered the wings and yucca fries and a beer. My friend ordered empanadas. Prices were very high - almost $9 for a bottled Corona, $12 for two small empanadas, and $14 for 5 wings and fries. I waited about 20 minutes for my food before checking in with the bartender, who assured me the order of food was coming. 25 minutes beyond that, my friend had finished his meal and I wasn't served. Finally, as we got the checks, my meal came out - and was short a wing (5 on the menu, I got 4) and no yucca fries. I was so hungry I didn't try to dispute it. I used to work in bars and totally understand that stuff happens, but I felt there was a major breakdown in logistics here. 40 minutes is a long time to wait for an incomplete order, and nothing was done to really rectify it. The place wasn't crowded so it wasn't an issue with volume. The bartender was not communicative at all and only said a few words at a time, so I think they just forgot to submit my order. The food was tasty but small portions for the high price, so I'd avoid the wings and maybe try another dish. read more

Everybody I was with said the food was good by far the best thing we ordered was the fish tacos. Only complaint is the website isn't updated with the menu. Service is good and it has a chill hip chic ambiance in Harlem. Would reccomend. read more

Five star for the service. The waitress was very friendly and nice. I ordered a sangria and when my friend came, we ordered a Sangria pitcher. Both were okay, nothing great and in fact the sangria was diluted. When it comes to food, I ordered Tios chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the veggie salad with arugula and avocado. There was a hint of aioli in the sandwich but it was so dry. The salad was a very poor excuse for a dish. Hated the food, drinks were ehhhh service was great but for the price I paid, I left there feeling cheated. Won't recommend this place to anyone read more

I loved this place! I came here with a friend who lives in the area and has frequented this restaurant. I trust his judgement, so I knew it would be good. They have outdoor seating as well, which was nice - although there's a fish store nearby and they were cleaning before they closed up (we were here for dinner), so there were some interesting smells. Other than that, this place was amazing. I had chips and salsa, a mojito and the chicken enchiladas, my go to entree at a read more

I am very happy with their tapas right now. It is definitely the business. The empanadas and the wings and yuca fries are flavorful and fresh. I felt like I could get wing and empanada drunk. Like my husband might have to come pick me up and sit by my side while I am in a food coma. I will be back here. read more

From the moment we approached this establishment, the decor intrigued my wife and I. They have their menu on the outside so we decided to check it out. As we were doing that, Luis the bartender, came out and gave us suggestions of entrees. We decided this was our place to have dinner at that point and we made a great choice. My wife had the chicken, mash with veggies while I had the salmon mash and veggies. Both were amazing and had us wanting more. Normally we don't do dessert but our experience was so good that we opted to have something. We asked Luis for his opinion and he said Apple Tart with Ice cream was his fav, so we gave it a shot. The apples were fresh and the ice cream was smooth making a perfect combo. We would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

This place is nice for having a couple of drinks with a few friends. It's small and never gets crowded. The salmon used to be amazing but they may have changed cooks. They also used to have the best steak/ Carne Asada. It lacks flavor now. The Lobster tostadas appetizer had a tangy citrus overload taste. The virgin fruit punch looked and taste good just a little too sweet. read more

Came here for brunch with the kiddos. We had the chicken quesadillas, steak and eggs and a chicken sandwich. Small portions that took forever to come out. We all pretty much left still semi hungry. I would probably have rated higher if it didnt take the food so long to come out without explanation. Flavors are competent but I didnt leave raving about anything. Mimosas were ok but I did think their coffee was tasty. They have an open kitchen concept that was a nice touch. Their restrooms are immaculate and overall the whole place has a very modern decor. I would have to return during a different service to see what others are raving about. Brunch is definitely not it. read more

Went here to meet friends for dinner. I've always walked past here as it's close to my apartment, but I've never stopped in. The decor is super cute and kind of romantic. Great for a date night. I ordered the chicken quesadillas and they were GREAT. The order only came with 4 small pieces, which seems like I was getting robbed for $20, BUT they were delicious. My friend ordered the salmon dish with veggies which originally came out over cooked, but the waitress was more than happy to replace. The second attempt was spot on. The steak and rice was decent, but nothing spectacular. I have to say my favorite dish was the side of yucca fries. We ended up getting another order to share. I will try this place out again. They have weekend brunch as well as weekday happy hour. read more

The place was Ok. Nice ambiance but the food was overpriced. They didn't have simple honey mustard to put on Quesilldias or honey for the cafe latte. I mean come on! Thats ridiculous. Plus I felt like the waiter kept trying to pressure us to order more from the menu. Like go away! I'll call you when I need you. What saved this place was the tasty moscato & the Happy Hour menu special Would I go back? Probably not. So many better spots in Harlem read more

This is a great brunch or happy hour spot in Harlem. Its more chill than some other restaurants nearby on Lenox and also has better food and prices than most. I've been here twice for brunch and both times my boyfriend and I shared the crab cakes and the breakfast burrito. The food is super delicious, although I wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. We've gotten mimosa pitchers which are only $15, but they were kind of weak. Tio Luca has happy hour Tues-Sat 4-7pm and it includes beer, wine, and certain cocktails for $6. They also have a few happy hour tapas for $9 but I don't think that's a very good deal so I have not tried any. The sangria and margaritas are awesome though, and strong. There is some outdoor seating which is great during warm weather. The interior space and bar are nice as well. read more

I'm so pissed off right now, order several things from this restaurant, everything was just ok, the "Dinner Entree that just pissed me off was the enchiladas ( dinner entree) it arrived with no rice or beans. Excuse me!!! When did just enchiladas that cost $20 become a dinner entree, from a Spanish restaurant??? So when I called the establishment to try and figure out what happened, all I got was a smart ass comment " you didn't see rice and beans in the description" okay, I spend $100 for 3 meals and that's what I get??? It will never happen again, I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM YOU AGAIN. That's what you get for trying to support your local establishments, no type of appreciation. Good luck. Maybe next time try to be a little nice. read more

This is a great spot the host were nice I only gave 3 stars because the prices are a little high and I only been here once. They do on the other hand have HH and the drinks were really good especially the Sangria. I am hoping to try out some more of the dishes on the menu but I will post pics of the delicious meal I was able to try when I was there. I really think this place has a great shot of longevity but the prices may discourage some folks. I hope to update my review upon my next visit. read more

Roaming around Harlem after a strenuous workout looking for a good brunch spot. Was tired of walking around because boy were my hammys tight. Tio's looked like a nice place so I checked it out. Ordered the steak & eggs (cooked medium, which is new for me... look at me being adventurous). Eggs were perfectly poached, steak was aight, tons of fries. I was satisfied with my meal but would probably try something different if I came back. Usually don't comment on service unless it's great or horrible but in this case, our server Gerald was on point. If you're reading this bro, thank you for the hospitality. But I doubt you are. read more

Great Food ! Even better Service! The bathrooms are really clean which was a plus . The people who served me food were extremely friendly, but also efficient. Between each course they came by and cleaned our area, while also checking in to make sure we were pleased with our experience. They made my date and I feel appreciated , but most of all comfortable. I would definitely return! read more

Unfortunately, this place seems like a hit or miss. I greatly enjoy myself when the owner is here to oversee however it appears his staff is unable to provide the same service. We got here on Mother's Day with 5ppl and were greeted by a table that was walking out upset with their service or lack there of. We decided to stay as like I said the experience prior to has been good. They tried to seat us at a four seat table and add a chair in the aisle....I guess they didn't know that was a fire hazard which I was happy to let them know. They then proceeded to seat a table of ten ahead of us that had gotten there AFTER us as opposed to rearranging the seating. We waited for an additional 10 Minutes and left. Unfortunately, I won't be back. read more

Food was ok - the yucca fries were my favorite. Good happy hour deals, laid back vibe and ok service.

This place blew my socks off last night. I really enjoyed it with a friend. The service was fast and friendly. The music not to loud. Great music too. Ambiance very nice. Drinks are strong and well made so if you like tequila it's worth trying the Tequila mule with 1900. I got the Alambres steak and fries and the Yuka fries were worth it with the sauce so delicious as well. Most importantly there was no wait at all to be seated, served or anything! read more

I tried to go on Friday night. There was no one in front to talk to about being seated or how long the wait would be. I was standing there for 5 minutes and saw a man sitting in the corner so I asked if he worked here to which he responded yeah. Uumm ok, how long is the wait for a party of 4...he said hold on and disappeared for several minutes only to come back and tell me hold on a second, someone is coming. I stood there another 5 minutes with no one approaching the hostess table. I became frustrated and walked away. I went to Corner Social which was totally worth it. read more

I started to let this slide, but, absolutely not. a large group of us were in for brunch, all but myself were repeat customers from the previous week. service was pleasant, food was great, service-- not so much. 2 specific, not unusual, requests were made on our order: a burger beyond well done, and a burrito with no cheese, because of a *serious* allergy. neither were honored. the burger was pink & the cheeseless burrito was given to the wrong person. THEN, the same friend with the previously-expressed dairy allergy, ordered dessert. churros! easy-peasy. the server didn't think to warn her they were cream-filled {???} nor, perhaps as importantly, did the menu. and she bit into one. her query: since when do churros have dairy? {between us we'd had them in Texas and Spain and many places in between, never heard of this} his response: THESE ARE NOT FROM THE SUBWAY. are. you. kidding. me. needless to say she ended up in urgent care the next day and was put on steroids for the swelling. returned to the restaurant and he was just as rude and unapologetic. all of my friends are extremely close neighbours and loyal restaurant patrons, zero will be returning. thanks for playing, Tio Luca! read more
