Suggestions for South American Restaurant near Lower East Side, New York

A A. • May 24, 2023I forgot to take a steak photo means it was awesome:) Plus, friendly, nice service staff!

Nakisha • February 29, 2012Muscles, house made gnocchi & ravioli, octopus casserole, flan ALL SO good! Skirt steak: cooked well but a bit bland (blue cheese topped baked potato that came with = YUM). Go with a Uruguayan wine.

Sally M. • October 29, 2013Love this place. The sandwiches are good, the salami omelette is yummy, and the morir soñando - while not as tasty as my mother's - is good. Plus, it's super affordable.

Jackie J. • May 19, 2012Had the lobster paella (special). 7 types of meat in one dish. Amazing.

Josue E. • June 17, 2017Arepas, arepas, arepas!!! The ultimate Colombian comfort food. Happiness is a warm arepa. I'm in heaven!

Russell H. • August 27, 2016Tabla meat platter was terrific, you can tell it is authentic. Medium rare only! Empanadas, grilled octopus and provolone apps were delish. Red sangria to wash it down.

Calvin M. • February 13, 2015The food is great. Try the Patacon de pabellon

Judy C. • June 11, 2019Grab a quickie lunch and sit upstairs. Great to try are: mix ceviche, it’s really fresh, seafood rice and shrimp & potatoes. Don’t forget the spicy sauce.

Lili B. • February 18, 2023Pricey but worth it! The standouts were the scallop and trout ceviches, the sweet potatoes, and the wagyu tartare! The Iberico pork was too rich for me. The pisco sour didn’t disappoint either!

Marco A. • November 26, 2022Amazing food and service. Real authentic Peruvian food with a sophisticated flare.

Ferit K. • June 16, 2024Join the local Ecuadorian crowd and check what the Ecuadorians are munching on before you order

Bibi M. • January 31, 2011Don't be fooled by campy theme and Glee wannabees downstairs in Lulu karaoke lounge. Fun & delicious! Great for groups! Much fresher/tastier than the infamous place next door.

naveen • November 30, 2018start with a few skewers. as a main, the tenderloin is delicious and is really perfect for sharing. a glass of pechuga to drink, with ice on the side.

Adrienne C. • January 7, 2016So delicious! I don't know if I'd had Ecuadorian before, but the balon de queso was amazing and their housemade orange salsa was the best!

Ohilikechickn .. • July 15, 2017Great food great portions. Try the rotisserie chicken, the quinoa salad, and obviously the plantains and yucas!!!

Adam S. • September 12, 2011Their steak is amazing, as are their drinks. You can't beat their lunch prices.

Abigail K. • December 21, 2011great atmosphere for a celebratory meal. order the bruschetta, grilled mozarella, salmon or steak salad.

val h. • February 2, 2013Such friendly and helpful bartenders and waitstaff! Drinks and dinner were great!

Simon G. • August 14, 2010Eggs Benedict are delish. Thin sliced spiced ham is great and if yr super hungry order an extra potato cake.

Escape C. • December 10, 2015The food is great. The pitchers of caipirinha are strong but you'll forget and order more once the live samba band starts playing. Don't be shy. Make sure to dance.

Ernesto G. • January 31, 2019You just cannot go wrong here. For the price, plates are 30% smaller than you’d expect but delicious nonetheless. Highlights: shrimp anticucho, aji de gallina, pisco sour. Skip the tres leches.

Eugene T. • October 27, 2024I certainly recommend this place for an exceptional ceviche experience. The staff is very hospitable and ceviche is mind blowing.

Shawn T. • February 4, 2016Only had drinks but the service was great and while looking over the menu, we are determined to return for dinner.

Y. Raquel L. • August 31, 2024Ceviche, Sushi Rolls, Branzino and vesper martini!
