Noche Buena New York — Restaurant in New York

They get a 10/10 for the decorations but not everything else.

There’s a 25 dollar entrance fee and drinks and appetizers are about 20 bucks each which I think it’s overpriced.

First, no one greeted us in when we arrived at the rooftop and we had to pick our own seats but then I saw that there was actually suppose to be someone by the entrance.

We ordered arepas but they didn’t have. We ordered tostones with guac and they didn’t have tostones so they said they’re substituting the tostones for tortilla chips. We ordered both the chicken and ground meat empanadas and some wings. To drink we had a coquito and margarita.

The food- I’ve never in my life had guac so salty. Their chips were borderline stale as if the bag where they’re stored was left open overnight or longer. The meats on the empanadas didn’t taste fresh. The wings weren’t so bad. The margarita as alright. The best thing there was the coquito. Tasted home-made.

The service- Although our waitress was nice, still had to haunt her down for utensils and napkins. They use disposable utensils which I did not expect for the price we paid. The Asian girls going around taking and selling pictures were more attentive which is a shame.

They have a cellar which is a pretty big open space and they only serve alcohol there which isn’t so bad and the music there and the rooftop was pretty good and not so loud where you couldn’t talk but good enough to party. Place was supper crowded which I like and both areas they have are a good size.

Overall- Food, drinks, and service are mediocre but the decorations served its purpose which I guess that’s what...

I recently visited the 1st Latin Christmas Bar Lounge, and while there were some highlights, the experience left room for improvement. Admissions was free for ladies, but you had to get tickets first. The ambience was nice, and the downstairs area was beautifully decorated with festive touches that created a warm holiday vibe. The DJ also played great music that kept the energy up. Upon arriving, I had to ask the hostess where the Spanish music was—it’s a Latin-themed lounge, after all! The space was freezing, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The outdoor rooftop had a beautiful view, but the cold made it unusable.

The menu was disappointing, offering only three food options that didn’t feel festive or aligned with the theme. My drink took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, it didn’t live up to expectations—I couldn’t even finish it.

Overall, the place has potential with its decor and music, but they need to work on creating a cozier atmosphere, improving the menu, and stepping up the...

Noche Buena: A Disappointing Experience

I recently visited Noche Buena and was thoroughly disappointed. The bar lacked any coherent theme or vision, making it feel like a haphazard collection of random decorations. The rooftop bar had an unpleasant smell of marijuana and plastic, which was off-putting. The decor seemed to be a mix of serapes and poorly coordinated flag-themed trees, giving the impression that they were hastily bought from a dollar store and thrown together.

The drinks were ridiculously overpriced and not worth the money. The hot chocolate, in particular, was terrible—something no one's Abuela would ever make. Overall, the drinks were just bad. This place feels like an influencer trap, and I would recommend avoiding it. Its a classic influencer trap please pass on this. I was already in the area which is why I gave it a shot and it still wasn't worth my...
