Tililá — Restaurant in New York

Restaurant Review: A Taste of Home with Unbeatable Hospitality

Stepping into Tilila feels like walking into a warm embrace. From the moment you arrive, the staff treats you like family, greeting you with genuine smiles and making sure you’re comfortable. The service is impeccable—attentive but never intrusive, always ready with a recommendation or a quick joke that reminds you of home.

The atmosphere is pure nostalgia, with classic Latin music playing softly in the background, transporting you to those carefree nights at your abuela’s house. Whether it’s the sound of a bachata guitar strumming or the familiar lyrics of an old merengue hit, the music sets the perfect tone for a meal filled with heart and heritage.

And the food? Every bite is a reminder of tradition—flavors that bring back memories of home-cooked meals, made with love. Whether you’re indulging in a comforting plate of mofongo, a sizzling churrasco, or a creamy tres leches for dessert, each dish carries the warmth of generations past.

If you’re looking for a place that feeds not just your stomach but your soul, Tilila is it. Great service, great music, and that undeniable feeling of home—what more could...

The stars go to the food because at least it was not horrible, and our waiter was nice. The waiting time was ridiculous and the atmosphere was annoying!. We went there after work starving, had to wait 20 mins for the waiter to take our orders; 45 mins for the appetizers and and additional 1 hour to get our entrees. The waiter was nice though, but the poor guy kept telling us "food is ready soon' without knowing the real status of it. We got there at 7, ended up eating few minutes to 9pm and the food was not even impressive It didn't worth the wait. Also, they were supposed to play live music later at 10:30 but apparently, the guitar guy had nothing else to do and showed up at 8pm, and while the restaurant music was on and loud, he was tunning his guitar for over one hour!; it felt like a battle of noises between the loud electronic guitar and the background music. By the time our food came we couldn't been more annoyed, hungry and tired. It was just a bad call to pick this place last night, a total...

I am absolutely thrilled to share that after a long journey of recovery since the unfortunate fire in 2021, our beloved spot has finally reopened its doors today! As a regular, I couldn't be happier to see this magical place back and better than ever.

The vibe remains as enchanting as before, with the same warm vibe that makes it feel like a second home. They've expanded the space, offering more room yet they've preserved the charm we all love.

The menu continues to be flavorful. It's heartwarming to see familiar faces among the staff, all eager to welcome us back and continue the tradition of excellent service.

Reopening after such a significant event is no small accomplishment , and their dedication to restoring our favorite spot is truly commendable. I am overjoyed to have my go-to place back in action and look forward to creating many more cherished memories here.
