Stop in for a fresh juice (guanabana or passion fruit!), coffee, and lots of food options. I love the arepas for a snack and the salads/wraps/plates for something heartier. Just like abuela makes 'em!
Grilled chicken with cilantro rice and tostones is the bomb. I always order this and never fails me. Their salads are good too! Pricey place but it's worth it!
There's a reason I go here every week. With an extensive list of ingredients (some unique: brussel sprouts, butternut squash), you can mix and match for salads, platters and sandwiches.
Great lil gem. Love grilled chicken chimmichuri with cilantro rice & brussels sprouts on the side. Yuca fries are delicious too! And they always have check in specials :-)
Cary LawsonSeptember 15, 2014Excellent rice and beans, grilled mushrooms and an avocado-tomatillo sauce to die for! Generous portions.
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 17, 2012A better alternative to Chipotle! Try the steak wrap with chimichurri and all the fixings. You’ll be tempted to order more food, but the portions are huge.
Jenn GrauerDecember 19, 2011My favorite place for real Latin home cookin. Great authentic food, arepas, fresh juices, and cafe con leche. Definitely a go-to spot for me.
Great lunch spot for exciting salads and wraps using Latin ingredients. A good espresso machine and smoothies for morning stops and empanadas to cure a hangover
Alexis TaiJune 3, 2015The food is great and they are pretty quick! Only discrepancies I found was between their website, seamless & the actual location. The prices are not the same at all.
Gabriella FAugust 5, 2014They give you a LOT of food, so splitting it with a friend or saving half in your work place fridge is worth it.
Nidia MartinezNovember 11, 2014Everything here is pretty much amazing...the chicken, the steak, the passion fruit juice...yum!
Examiner.comApril 5, 2011Simple, fresh and fast. Lena is more than a your typical NY latin joint in the fact that their ingredients are local. From pasture to plate is the style. Read more
Kevin YienSeptember 27, 2014the salads are big, actually enough to fill you up! get the avocado and tomatillo sauce.
Lucy MariaJanuary 5, 2014Friendly service and great food! Black beans and grilled chicken are delicious!
Latin comfort food. Proteins and sides are simply prepared. Sauces make it interesting.
Danny MarreroSeptember 12, 2012The steak is so good here! So glad I go to school round the corner! They should know my name by heart!
Chip CarrollJanuary 14, 2011Super friendly staff, great food has become one of my new fab place to eat. French fries are shockingly really good!
the yuca fries are TO DIE FOR! and so is the coconut rice. actually, everything here is delicious. youd be silly not to try it.
Stephen MusgraveApril 10, 2012Vegetarian? Sandwich + grilled tofu + mushrooms + crispy onions + blue cheese = decadent
Luisa GloriaMay 13, 2011Get the cod with plantains and coconut rice! The cafe con leche is ridiculous and the churros AMAZING!
Mochi CamayaOctober 25, 2010Mmmm...breakfast tortilla w cafe con leche. Quaint and sweet spot for midtown locale. nice peeps too
aaron chioFebruary 18, 2012Churros are not on the menu but they can make them for you... They are very good!
THANK GOD there is a new place to eat around here! I had the talapia wrap with lemon butter--it was amazing.
Try the lemonade - like my grandma used to make with boiled lemons.
Bonnie PfleidererJune 10, 2014So i was craving empanadas and they didn't have any! My pet peeve! How can a Colombian restaurant not have any emapanadas for 2 days??? This should never happen!!
Whatever you do, get it with the chimichurri. It's to die for.
Unfortunately the crispy chicken is too crispy quite often.
jonathan slimakAugust 25, 2010Try the: steak wrap - chimmichurri - tomato, avocado, coconut rice... you will thank me
Get a café con leche from Jessica. She's a sweetheart and works like crazy.
