Favela Cubana, New York, New York, Cuban Restaurant Details

Food:

Absolutely horrible service. Cannot handle larger groups. When it came time to pay for the bill, we reviewed it to make sure it was accurate and we found out we were overcharged. Orders also came out incorrect. When we brought it to the waiter's attention HE SNATCHED the receipt out of my friend's hand and ripped it up. I know that had she been a male this would not have occurred. The waiter acted as if he couldn't be bothered with our group and made a big deal about reprinting an accurate receipt. When we asked him to take pictures of our group he made snide remarks about charging us extra and didn't take the time to actually make sure that the picture was taken appropriately. We were an NYU student group giving this establishment $300 in business and were treated with very little respect. If you attend NYU or you are thinking about hosting your group event here, please DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

Food:

The food is good nothing amazing thou. I like the decor is very tropical caribean/ brazilian. The restaurant is more cuban food than anything if you want brazilian food go to miss favela in brooklyn. I got the churasco with yuca fries and my friend good ropa vieja. He said it was good.

Food:

Brazilian meets Cuban..what's not to like. The place is small but cozy and the bartender makes great cocktails (the Mora Picante was fantastic) Started off with a great soup, then ropa vieja (shredded beef) which is a classic and finished off with tres leches and cafecito. A perfect meal.

Food:

This place is worth existing only for the fried yuca. Omg Im salivating right now. If they only served the yuca chips I would still religiously go here. Really nice atmosphere and service.

Food:

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)

Food: Excellent! If you are looking for authentic Cuban food, look no further. My favorites are Ropa Vieja (Cuban), Frango Ipanema (Brazilian), and Fried Okra.
Drinks: Excellent. Great mojitos and caipirinhas!
Space:This is a restaurant dance club and bar in a cozy and casual setting. The main dining and bar area is small for the dance club fun of the experience making it that more intimate, friendly and conducive to mixing and mingling. In the warmer weather months, they have outdoor dining. Great place to bring a date or impress your significant other. Great for date night or get togethers.
Scene: People watching. Romantic. Date night. Dancing.
Service: Excellent! Very courteous & professional.
