When I realized that they charged me the 15% then I called them asking the reason and the answer was "WE CHARGE THE 15% SERVICE TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS NO MATTER WHAT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING" and then the woman just hung up the phone and i was like "???" SO RUDE!!! And even I talked to them in Spanish to see if they could be more friendly or nicer but I was wrong. I definitely not coming to this place anymore if they don't correct their behavior!!!

I had a simple chicken breast accompanied by white rice and potato salad. The chicken was well seasoned and moist, the potato salad, out of this world and rice was just regular. As "dessert" I decided to try their lemonade sugar cane drink. Very refreshing. However don't be fooled by the name, this is not your old lemonade, maybe it's cousin that lived in South America for a while and came back much cooler and interesting.

If I'm Uptown on Dyckman late night, this is my go-to spot, no question. When that hunger hits…read moreafter hours, this place delivers every single time. The cheese sticks are a must when you visit. They are perfectly breaded, fried golden, crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. They come out hot, stretchy, and exactly what you want late at night. Their empanadas? Fire. The beef is juicy and packed with flavor, the chicken one is tender and well-seasoned, and that pink sauce... yeah, that sauce is elite. Creamy, tangy, with just enough kick to make you keep dipping until it's gone. I also ordered the chicken cachapa -- soft, slightly sweet corn pancake, stuffed generously and cooked just right. It's comforting, filling, and hits different when you're craving something authentic. Also on a late night on Dyckman, doesn't get better than this. The juices are fresh and refreshing, the perfect balance to everything savory. Service is quick and straight to the point, exactly what you need whether you're grabbing takeout or sliding into one of the small tables to eat in. The spot itself is small and cozy, no-frills, real neighborhood vibes all day. Overall, this is a classic Dyckman late-night Venezuelan staple. Great food, quick service, and flavors that always come through. If you know, you know.

We got their mixed ceviche to start, which was very onion heavy, but overall the seafood was tender and good. For mains, we tried the lomo saltado, chicken Chop suey, and aji de gallina. While I liked the lomo saltado, the aji de gallina was my favorite - the chicken was incredibly flavorful, and the yellow rice and yuca fries were divine. I would skip on the cilantro rice, as I found it a bit dry. The chop suey dish also fell a bit flat for me. I would definitely come back for their lunch specials and aji de gallina!

I really teetered between 3 and 4 stars because I have such an attachment to this place (it's where…read moremy husband and I had our first date). I've been coming here for over 10 years, but after visiting twice in the past two weeks and once a few months ago, I've unfortunately been increasingly disappointed. The food and service just aren't what they used to be, while the prices have continued to go up. A few months ago, my paella, which I've ordered many times over the years, tasted off. I didn't say anything then because I figured it was just an off night. But then two weeks ago, my kids and I were served fried wontons that were raw/semi-raw inside. They did take them off the bill, but unfortunately we had each already eaten one before realizing. On our most recent visit last week, we sat for about 10 minutes before we had to get someone's attention to come over to us. We put our apps in and then nobody came back to take our order until the apps were coming out. The girl who brought our drinks had the wrong drinks. My soup was completely forgotten, and my son's food didn't come out with the rest of our meals. He ended up eating some of mine while waiting, and by the time his sides finally came, he didn't even want them anymore. The fried wontons on this visit were absolutely fine though and the food was delicious. I genuinely hate leaving three stars for this because this has been a favorite of mine for so many years, and I have a lot of good memories here. But after several disappointing visits in a row, it's becoming harder to overlook the decline in both quality and service. The servers used to be very attentive and friendly. I really hope things improve because I'd love to enjoy this place the way I used to.

It came with fries which were very greasy but very crispy (looks like they coat them in some kind of starch). Overall, it was a heavy meal but very tasty.

And at $3.25 or $3.50 for a large, well-filled empanada, it must be the best bang for your buck anywhere in Manhattan. I'm personally very partial to the berenjena y queso (eggplant and cheese) version, which has a lovely, creamy filling, and the pollo/queso/crema/maiz version, where all the components are in perfect balance. For more deep fried deliciousness, the bolas de yuca and caprichos are just as they should be: beautifully crisp and golden on the outside, creamy on the inside with generous amounts of filling. And of course, I still love the patacon and cachapas, but only when divested of the creamy orange goop on top. If you forget to ask for your food without sauce, everything comes drowned in an inedibly large volume of the stuff. Health food this is not. In fact, I feel like this food should be eaten on the buddy system only: Have someone on hand to call 911 for you in case it induces cardiac arrest. Off to detox with a kale-ginger-cucumber drink.
