Carla — Restaurant in New York

Stumbled upon Carla by accident. The restaurant is cute, clean and cozy.

Food was good. Loved the sidekicks - sweet plantains - they were really yummy, sweet and riped just right. Cole Slaw was just okay. Pescado Taco was good.

Queso Cheese Dips was just okay. Mighty wings were as well just okay.

All our Entrees (Fish and Chips, Surf and Turf Burritos and Grilled corn and Romaine Salad) were delicious, especially Shrimp Jambalaya (thumbs-up) and the Chicken Enchiladas (-my son loved it!)

The only dessert they have was the Churros with ice cream, either Chocolate or Vanilla. We had both. It was a bit overpriced. Churros itself was toasty warm and soft. (-thumbs-up)

I am a coffee drinker. So for the French Pressed Coffee - I'm sorry to say it could have been better for the price and the wait. There was no aroma and it lacked flavor. Super light.

They added gratuity for the party of 5 or more. So for the 20% that it already added and paid for. The service could have been more attentive and friendly. There was no checking up and following up on the table between courses. We are in Restaurant business ourselves and super easy-going patrons. So for your own business, it could have been so much better if you pay more attentions to your patrons. We could have become your regulars.

But thank you...

We did a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon around 12:45 pm, and my wife and I, and our little 2 year old got some really nice outdoor seating on an overcast day.

The place wasn't that busy, and Catherine, who was very attentive, took really good care of us. They have a really good selection of Cocktails and I got their Smoke & Spicy Mezcal Paloma ($13) drink which was really good. My wife enjoyed their Old Fashioned ($15) from their Classic cocktail menu and she was very happy with it. They also have some rotating draught beers.

For appetizers, we got the extremely delicious Vegan Pesto Cauliflower ($11) which was a goof portion for 2 to share and very very tasty. We also ordered a side of Tater Tots for our little one, who didn't really enjoy it as much, and neither did we. We weren't in a mood for fried food!

For Entrees, we ordered Chicken Enchiladas ($18) and my wife was absolutely raving about their sauce. It was packed with flavor. I ordered 3 pieces of the Vegetarian Taco ($4 ea.). If you like sweet plantains you'll enjoy this. I am not too fond of plantain and without plantain, tacos tasted really good.

Overall, we had a great time. Great setup, good menu options, good cocktails and excellent service to top it off. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Will definitely...

Went here for an early dinner close to 5PM. Outdoor and indoor seating provided - we opted for outdoor since we had a pup with us. Our server was kind enough to bring water for our pup without even asking, so that was awesome. The place is cute, definitely would be a nice spot for brunch or catching up with friends. Service was great, shoutouts to Shay (not sure how to spell his name!). The food I would say is decent. Some nice flavors but I feel like you can definitely get more bang for your buck elsewhere. I would say the recommendation for their wings was the best thing. It was almost like a tempura type of batter, light in frying but the sauce flavor was delicious. I had a land and sea platter as well but my silly self didn’t read the menu not realizing I was going to get it on a burrito!! I was pleasantly surprised though that it was pretty good despite what I was envisioning in my head. My good friend ordered a burger which they cooked great but lacked a bit in flavor aspect. We also ordered drinks which were pretty nice. They have happy hour specials which is always a good time. I had an adult capri sun which fits a summer vibe so nicely. Overall a cute vibe, I wouldn’t mind...
