    My husband prefers to try a new restaurant when we go out to celebrate his birthday, which is a gamble when basing a restaurant solely on reviews. We were a group of 11, mainly Latinos, looking for good food and a good vibe. We found it a La Pulpería. Our server, Bryan, was on top of everything and the meal went smoothly. A number of us shared three portions of the Octopus paella, made with squid ink and chorizo; it was delicious and a table favorite. I personally enjoyed the Mezcal Negroni. There was a DJ spinning a fun mix of music across decades and genres, keeping a fun (but not too loud) vibe. They do a drag brunch and we will definitely be checking that out.

    My second visit to La Pulperia. Walked in for their fun Saturday brunch with the drag show over the summer. Very entertaining and the food was delicious. My recent visit on Wednesday was obviously more subdued. Excellent attentive service by all the staff. Fabulous date night venue prior to a show or movie. Good location on 9th Ave & 44th St.

    Celebrated our friend's birthday at the Drag Brunch and had absolutely the best time ever. We sang, danced, laughed and enjoyed every minute. Misty Mountain D & Catrina Lovelace were everything!

    The menu is limited but the plates were delicious. Its a bit crowded, cramped and noisy. Also a bit pricey for the entrees that aren’t particularly original or special. Good for drinks and shared plates.

    Second visit for us and we had Daniel for our Server. He was great, very attentive! We brought friends with us this time around and they too loved dining at La Pulperia 44. The special of the evening was Chicken Paella with Clams and Mussels. Plenty of Mussels but slim Pickens for Clams. Still a delicious dish overall. Thanks again, and hope to see you again sooner than later!

    We went for a drag brunch. The drag was fun. But the food menu during brunch is only 6 or so different dishes, and the quality, not great. Which was disappointing because the dinner and lunch menu looks great.

    We’ve been coming to La Pulperia for years. We were sad when they left the UES, but still come over to Hell’s Kitchen as often as we can! Victor, one of the owners, is so wonderful and always stops by our table to chat and make sure everything is perfect. 10/10!

    Food was great, service was ok. Didn’t seem interested in us or the job, took about 20 minutes to get our check which made us almost miss our opening show. The manager was going around checking on folks which was nice but the waiter could’ve done a better job overall on service. I would give this place another chance based on food and ambience but need to improve service.
