Flo del Mayo, with its two locations on the Upper West Side, continues to impress as a staple Asian and Spanish fusion restaurant. Known for its inviting atmosphere and warm customer service, it has become a favorite spot for many, including myself. On my recent visit, which was with a larger group, the service was a bit slow. However, the staff remained highly accommodating and attentive to all our needs, ensuring we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our meal. The food quality was excellent, with a wide range of options that cater to diverse tastes. I particularly enjoyed the lunch special of boneless chicken with rice. While the chicken was juicy and flavorful, I did find the rice a tad dry and wished it came with some beans to add a bit of moisture and variety. Nonetheless, the overall taste was commendable. Specialty drinks are a highlight at Flor del Mayo, and the henny coloda, my personal favorite, did not disappoint. My colleagues also enjoyed strawberry daiquiris and mojitos, all of which were expertly crafted and refreshing. Despite the minor hiccup with the service speed, especially considering our party size, Flor del Mayo remains a fantastic dining choice. The friendly staff, delicious fusion cuisine, and exceptional drinks make it a great place to dine with family or friends. I highly recommend giving it a try.

This place remains unchanged after YEARS in business. It was not that crowded on a Friday night; numerous tables were available at 6:30. (They don't seem to have their outdoor seating set up now.) Food is consistently good! I've never not enjoyed the ropa vieja, my go-to dish. For $24 you get a huge dish of it, rice (I asked for the cilantro rice instead of yellow rice), and salad (shredded lettuce and tomato). The free basket of bread then came in handy; I used it to do in the sauce. Delicious! When leaving a waiter was telling the guests next to us about a version with green sauce; this may be a reason to come back sooner!

Good food, good time, great service. Seriously, everything was served with a smile. Servers were attentive and responsive with just the right balance of distance and watchful anticipation. They didn't hesitate to make menu suggestions or offer a useful opinion when asked. Drinks were a bit sweet for my taste but still delicious and pretty! Food was served in abundant portions with appealing presentation. Didn't have to wait long for it either. And everything was delicious. Highly recommend the cilantro rice. Yum. I got chuletas fritas, and my companians got the fish special--forgot what it's called--and the Peruvian neef stew. Everything was very good. We shared the flan for dessert. It was okay but we have a REALLY high bar for flan. Almost no place meets it for us. I will no doubt return to Flor de Mayo for some good eats!

Came here after seeing a show for my cousins birthday. I tried some fried Chorizo Yuca balls, chicken a la carte, mofongo with pork, and ropa vieja. I saw everyone ordering nutcrackers to drink, so I had to try. It was good, reminded me of amaretto sour. The yuca balls had a nice crunch to it. It was soft and warm inside. The chicken was good, I just wish the mojito sauce was more garlicky. The mofongo would have been better if the pork was mixed in. The ropa vieja tasted too much like tomato sauce, I wasn't a fan.

It's always a treat when you visit a hometown staple and it's everything you need it to be. The space is quaint and the service is good, and prompt. So many options, but we always have our favorites that we gravitate to and when you're hungry......you just want the tried and true!

One of the first restaurants I came to when I visited NYC last year, and now that I live here it's become my go to when i just want some good food, with great flavor and a homemade feel to it. My go to is the Lomo Saltado with Chicken . I also always request extra onions and tomatoes, so good ! and I get the vegetable fried rice . Everything comes out piping hot and the service is always great here ! Also the homemade lemonade is so refreshing and not too tart but has a sweetness to it and not to mention it's a frozen drink . If you're looking for a great place to just eat some consistent good food, great hospitality and welcoming environment this is it !

This place always delivers, service is friendly, food is consistently good, price is reasonable. We had Pollo ala brasa ,chicharones & brocolli. They also give bread & butter for starters. Every thing is tasty & servings are large. Worth checking out.

I haven't been here in a few years I've heard the food doesn't taste the same , I was in the neighborhood and decided to swing on by to check it out for myself . As soon as I walked in they asked if I needed a high chair which I loved ! It is a small location so I did need to leave the stroller in the front and fold it . They sat us down immediately, I went to bathroom to wash our hands they have a baby changing table so with no doubt this is a baby child friendly location . Upon sitting down they brought us bread which was definitely not homemade but was decent . We got a lomo with the special house fried rice it fed 3 people plus baby . It's not bad it's just not the same I'm Assuming the chef changed The server was great

This is my favorite Pollo a la Brasa restaurant in all of NY. The chicken is addictive because it is tasty and moist. It is slow roasted and tastes like it was marinated for hours. I wish that I could make chicken this well. I have been a customer of the Broadway location since the mid 1990s. The cuisine is Chinese-Cuban, and everything on their menu is scrumptious. Today, I ordered the Pollo a la Brasa with House Special Fried Rice. The meat and shrimp were so fresh. The rice was perfectly cooked and had a slightly nutty texture. I always make sure to order some fruit punch, but I have to tell them to lighten up on the syrup, or else the drink will be too sweet. The Pollo a la Brasa is no longer the bargain that it was 30 years ago when it was a mere $5. Now it is three times that. Service is quick, and the ambiance is hip. I make sure that I dine here at least once a year.
