INCREDIBLE hidden gem in the upper east side. This meal knocked our socks off! We started with the vegan version of the ajiaco soup, a warm and comforting and hearty potato soup served with rice, avocado, and capers. This could've been a meal on its own. Next we had the vegetarian bandeja paisa, essentially a sampler plate of the Colombian staples: yellow rice, red beans, avocado, plantains, and a lovely green salad with avocado dressing. Loved every part of this dish. Finally, we tried the cazuela de frijoles, a delicious red bean soup with plaintains topped with savory tomato salsa. It's hard to say which dish was best. We'd probably order the exact same lineup on our next visit. The fresh fruit juices were an awesome nonalcoholic option; we enjoyed the soursop juice that could be made with a varying amount of sweetness. Also, we were extremely impressed not only with the number of vegan options but with how knowledgeable and helpful the staff were in guiding us about what to order. Daniela was so accommodating and friendly. We also appreciated that the menu is super clear in designating which of the many options can be made vegetarian or vegan. We will definitely be coming back soon!
Me and my girlfriend went here yesterday and we had a great time. The place isn't very big but it gives a warm and cozy environment. We ordered a beef empanada and a broccoli and cheese empanada as an appetizer they were really good with the ají sauce. I ordered a bandeja paisa and my girlfriend the ceviche. The food was delicious and the servers were super nice. Totally would recommend
Great little Colombian spot. The food and ingredients were all super fresh. The staff was helpful and quick. We had the empanadas and ajiaco, they were both great and very authentic. :) try a refajo to drink!
Craving Columbian? Had lunch with family in Manhattan, NYC, in the UES at Dulce Vida Latin Bistro. We all really enjoyed it and will be back. Everything is gluten-free and perfect for celiac. They're really good with allergies. Very close to Q train stop.
My friend made a reservation on a Friday night for a girls dinner. The place is very small but the day we went we were the only people there so it was not crowded or noisy. The two waitress were super sweet and answered all my questions and helped me choose between dishes. We started off with the sample appetizer I can't remember the exact name but it came with chips and guacamole and 9 mini empanadas 3 cheese 3 beef and 3 chicken. The beef emapanadas were my favorite especially when you add the green ají to it. I ordered the Cazuela. The bowl looks small but it is deep and I could only eat half because it was very filling. It's bens and inside it had chopped up Maduros, chicharrón and on top sliced steak and tomatoes and is served with rice. Sooo delicious. My friend said they had the BEST sangrias. She drank 3 of them. It's a cozy little restaurant the only thing is they add an 18% service fee which is not to be confused with gratuity. Overall it was a pleasant experience and the waitresses were very sweet.
The service was really good and the food was delicious. A very small restaurant so I would definitely make reservations if coming on the weekend.
