Mehrnaz MSeptember 16, 2017The paella was fantastic. Loved the calamari! All foods were great. Service was fast. The service was on the bill.
Great Spot. Delish food...Awesome decor... Wonderful service.... Fun music... Sundays Unlimited Sangria...All Day!!!!!!!!!
Henry DannerOctober 2, 2011Atmosphere is ultra swaggy. AYCD sangria is def live!! I recommend the Spanish Harlem. Price was pretty cheap to 35 bucks for a party of two. Can't beat that!
Bonnie HeymanJune 27, 2011The rolls are delicious and different than any other place. The self serve sangria bar is great, but be prepared to buy a meal if you want it. Cool atmosphere too!
TheMobileBrokerApril 12, 2012Love the new location in the lobby of a luxury doorman building off CPW! Great food and sangria! Weekend brunch here is the bomb!
Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Cheesy bread!!!! Also all you can drink brunch. Sangria is tasty so be careful...a couple will get you drunk.
Jennifer BordasApril 6, 2013The best place I've been for a weekend brunch! Good food and all the sangria you want in many different flavors!
Solid neighborhood staple Latin food, the cheesy bread is the best part, sangria great too
Obinna ArizorOctober 15, 2012Ordered the "burrito sucio" aka dirty burrito. The portion size was good but it was flavorless and tasted like a pita wrap with just eggs and beans. All of the sangrias were awesome. They were strong!
Cee Cee WApril 10, 2011The bar and lounge areas are first come first serve so grab the first available seats you see! Bottomless sangria for Brunch, choose from a variety and white and red- Rob StaniszewskiSeptember 17, 2017Make reservations at least week in advance or be here right at open for cocktail first come first serve section
Nancy Lafontant-WhitingSeptember 15, 2018Great brunch plus free sangrias with your meal. Just make a reservation.
Yolanda ShoshanaSeptember 21, 2010The Spanish Harlem Sangria is so fabulous. I heart the whole sangria bar. Great brunch! Perfect for a brunch date with friends or your boo! Wonderful energy in this place.
best bang for the buck all you can drink brunch. amazing food. vaca frita is amazing.
Kaity ChanFebruary 28, 2015Awesome service, server very attentive. Food is large portioned but good and so are the desserts
New York HabitatMay 15, 2012Great Latin fusion restaurant. Try it out for an original South-American brunch, complete with yummy sangria!
Mayra RodriguezJuly 20, 2014Cute for a 1st date. Sexy but not too intimate/awkward. The "dulce" appetizer is AMAZING!
Shyla D.February 21, 2011Come early for the free sangria and don't be afraid to double fist. Last call on Sangria is around 3:30 so budget your time to sample all 8. Food is meh, come for the sangria.
Erin LaneAugust 10, 2011If you're up for a trek to the Upper West, this is the place to go -- unlimited sangria bar w/ your meal. Don't mind if I do!
Malcolm OngJuly 2, 2012Go for brunch on the weekends for all-you-can-drink sangria. Plus they have an awesome bread basket!
Jason H.March 26, 2016For dinner - in my opinion overpriced. The paella was good and the appetizer was ok....but I wouldn't race back to have dinner there. I guess the brunch is the way to try this place.
Mike ChauDecember 22, 2013Try the Gallitos - A huge platter of soft tacos with grilled beef and chipotle chicken.
Chelsea BalkanFebruary 18, 2012The vaca frita is good (not amazing) but it's more like brisket than skirt steak. The quesadilla doesn't have much cheese and is just ok. I loved the bread and sangria (tropical and monito)
First time at Calle Ocho? Check-in and receive a free Sangria to go along with the great food- Mike ChauDecember 22, 2013Try the Bread - These rolls are incredible. The black bean spread is great.
Jeff TaiFebruary 2, 2014They're awesome and offer complimentary lunch sangria. Don't abuse it and ruin the offering for everyone else
Emily DoongJuly 17, 2014Come for the sangrias and the ceviches! I'd skip the entrees and just order appys
Nicole ChecoSeptember 5, 2015Their food is so yummy. I loved it! And whos not happy when you have unlimited sangrias brunch?💜
Delisious RodriguezApril 12, 2016The food , the music, the Grown Ups! Ohhhhh and those Mojitos!!! Yummm- Conrad Greiner-BechertJuly 8, 2015The atmosphere was even better than the chicken, especially by the bar.
Blackout Again?December 6, 2015Bisteak and vaca frita montada a caballo.. Just awesome food, latinamerican style
Amy LNovember 12, 2011Amazing sangria, one of the best and cheapest brunches in NYC, make a reservation far in advance!
Christine LFebruary 16, 2012Everything is soooo good and they employee took great care to make sure that my kids were happy!
Amanda SchneiderAugust 31, 2014Go for brunch and try any of the red sangrias - avoid the whites (esp the Tropical).
Soul Society 101May 20, 2012This breeeead. Lawdamercy. These drinks are epic. My new favorite spot (and the food didn't even come yet!)
Elena BaggaholicAugust 30, 2010Please ask my favorite bartender Luis to mix one of his poisonous solutions for you. Bet he will have you wasted before you finish your first drink! :-) tell him Elena sent you! Muah!
Natalia QuinteroJune 14, 2012Great spot for drinks (especially sangria). Try their corn arepa its great!
Zhann JochinkeNovember 30, 2013The Passion Fruit sorbet is amazing... Intense flavor and a great palate cleanser.
