“ I ordered to-go from this spot and it was a great lunch spot! We got the Ropa vieja & Cuban sandwich and it was pretty solid! I rarely try Latin food, so I have minimal expectations, but both my friend and I enjoyed the food that we got here. Their ropa vieja cames with plantains that paired well with their meat. And, the Cuban sandwich was packed with roast pork and ham. Would love to dine-in next time! ”
“ I've just remembered about finishing some of the reviews sitting in my draft, which is one of them. Don't worry, I remember the taste because I note down every time I try a dish, but I keep it in the draft. The place is decorated with a pretty ambiance and is relaxed. My friend and I came here on a cold day. We shared Taco Trio. She ordered chicharron or pieces of fried chicken. I tried one, not bad. We also had a nice salad, Queso De Cabra. Try this salad because it was my best for the night. Everything was prepared nicely with colorful toppings on the tacos, plus the sweet treatment from our waitress, Stephanie. Thank you for making our dinner a pleasant one. Thanks! ”
“ When you want spanish cuisine this is the place to go to. Service is always amazing and warm. Restaurant gives a nice summer vibe with the island tree decorations. I have celebrated many occasions here. They also have lunch specials. Prices are decent and even better when treated too.. My fav was the arepas con queso. The sweet and the little bit of saltiness was a great combo. ”
“ Excellent service and excellent quality . Laidy y Dayana The best waitresses in the restaurant. 100% recommended ”
“ Really great food! Appreciate the twist on traditional Latin dishes Service was really great and attentive, especially for our group of 20+ people for brunch And the space itself was quaint and open ”
“ Had a great day at MOMA PS1 just a few blocks away and decided to check out Blend for dinner. My friends both got the Pernil Entree which they both enjoyed and I opted for the Veggie Paella. It was savory, topped with maduro and avocado and it made a delicious flavor combination. It was so cozy in there and it made for the cutest date or girls night spot. ”
“ This place is small, unique and has a great Latin cuisine and vibe. Decided to have NYE dinner here and it was a blast of delicious food, tasty drinks..... Loved it and enjoyed the entire experience. I would recommend them to anyone visiting the New York area and wanted a treat of flavorful explosions! ”
“ This spot was ON POINT. OMGoodness I had the Churrasco lunch special. I asked for a salad instead of the rice. I ordered my steak medium well and it was DELICIOUS. The Frozen Sangrita was not too weak nor not too strong. The service was friendly and the wait time for my meal was not long. The ambiance was low key, clean and comfortable. I will be going back...Ohhhh and it's a few blocks away from the 7 train. Try em! ”
