    We were in NYC for a show on Wednesday, 3/4/2020. We picked this restaurant because of the high rating I saw on Opentable and wanted to try latin American food for a change. When we walked in for a 5:15 pm reservation, there was only 1 table of 4 sitting in the entire place. The waiters were very attentive, may be because the place was empty. The menu was very simple. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and my husband ordered the seafood black-ink pasta which was a special of the day. Both dishes were warm, not hot. In fact the tomato chipotle sauce on my dish was cold but good flavor; the melted cheese on top of the enchiladas already began to harden; the shrimp inside the enchiladas were chopped into less than ½ inch pieces and hardly had any flavor. The black ink pasta of my husband's dish was lukewarm; the clams and squids in my husband's dish were also cold; the sauce was favorable; the piece of toasted bread was cold and hard. By the time we checked out, which was around 6:00pm, no new customers came in for dinner except for the bar that was full.

    Fun and engaging drag brunch experience. Quick to replenish cocktails if doing the bottomless portion of the brunch. The majority of the brunch menu consisted of regular brunch items with a latin flair. However, the flavor of the food was lacking. Portion sizes were decent. Special requests for food were not effectively translated to kitchen staff. Overall, food was okay but not a culinary experience. Some of the cocktails are premade, which is to be expected with a bottomless cocktail brunch. However, one of the cocktails (La Loca) was very syrupy and needed to be diluted with water. The drag show itself was upbeat and the drag queens talented. I do believe as it was the second show of the day they may have been a bit tired though. The competition portion of the show was very lively as guests were invited to partake in the show. Unfortunately seating arrangements are not the best for all as it is a small restaurant. The restaurant is essentially made into a long corridor but the queens spend most of their time deep in the restaurant so those seated near the entrance do not get the best experience. Be aware that booking this brunch comes with a $10 reservation fee that you do not get back on your food and drinks. Overall, a fun experience, however, I cannot say I would book it again.

    Our reservations were for 6p. We were offered 2 seats at the Bar after waiting 15 minutes. The Hostess greeted us with champagne while we waited, to our happy surprise. We took the seats at the Bar and remarked after we left and truly believe they were the best seats in the whole place. Daniel, the Bartender was attentive to our food and beverage needs. If we didn’t have Theatre tickets we clearly would have stayed longer. The food was quality with proper portions. The mojito’s were excellent. We’ll be back!

    Small restaurant which normally doesn’t bother me however, despite having a few waiters the service was horrible. Once we finally had a waiter take our order we put everything in because we had a show at 8. I had a difficult time choosing from 1 of the 3 or 4 wines they offer by glass (they all got horrible reviews on my wine app) went with the most expensive and it was just “okay”. Ordered guacamole with no cheese as an appetizer and I noted that was because I have a dairy allergy. The guac came with cheese. Though, They fixed it no problem. For dinner I ordered the squid ink pasta, one of my favorite things to order out. It was just “okay”. Honestly, it was a bit bland, certainly not the best I’ve ever had. Overall, I was shocked at the amazing reviews this place gets. I just didn’t have that experience at all. There are certainly much better restaurants in the theater district. Will not return.

    Our service was slow. We were going to theatre and our server was told this. He kept saying it was coming. People who came in after us were served before. The food, when it finally came out, came out one at a time, each dish clearly being finished in the kitchen! The steaks were mediocre as was another dish. I was extremely disappointed as Pulperia was my recommendation. I had eaten there two times before and had enjoyed the food and service! I doubt if my companions will want to return.

    Went here for a birthday with a group of 9 around 10 for dinner and it was a beautiful little spot (almost missed it) but very cute and cozy. The service was really good and the food was delicious. The drinks were really good and strong. There was a dj after dinner but I think it was a special occasion so not sure if they usually have a dj there

    They really need to get their act together. Multiple parties had issues with their reservations at the same time. Maybe they have difficulty with the pre-theater crowd but based on where they are, they should expect it. They had to ask people to leave early and move around. We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation at a table they had to bring out from the back that was in a pretty bad location by the bar and seemed to forget about serving us half the time. In the end, we got our food in time to see our show but it was close. The server kept bringing the wrong food to different tables and we got the incorrect check at the end. It was nice that they gave us a free Guacamole but I cannot recommend it based on our experience. Too many other options in Manhattan.

    It was my first time there, the food, drinks were great and the show was a great experience. I went with two close friends of mine. At the end when we were getting to leave I went to the bathroom, my friends were paying the tab and when I came back out, I was informed how the waiter stated they work for their tips and that one person was missing on tipping him. I paid cash, he was talking about me. I did not like the fact that he did such comment, I was in the bathroom and he couldn’t waited patiently for me to come back to leave my tip. A waiter should not approach anyone that way.

    Pre-theater dinner for 2 with 1 drink each was $120 including tax and tip. Both meals were served on wooden planks instead of a plate, both were tasty, fish ribs were fun. A small restaurant, all tables were full, just enough room for the waiters to get by but room wasn't too noisy. Staff were professional and responsive.
