Reviews for Dulce Vida Latin Bistro in New York, NY
Excellent food, kind and warm ambience. Glorious food choice of typical Colombian delicacies. A must for anyone into South... American cuisine or just interested in something different. Read more
Excellent example for what delicious Colombian cuisine should look and taste like. Will definitely return!
I don’t normally post reviews, but have to say this was terrible. My wife ordered the bandeja paisa which was 5 pieces of... normal luke warm grilled chicken. Regardless of the taste, this is a laughable amount of chicken for $25. The fajita I ordereddidn’t come with anything like rice beans or sauce. I would not recommend trying this place. Read more
Awesome menu options. The burger is high quality and comes with fries. The arepas and soups are what will keep me coming back,... though. Read more
Me and my family were excited to have found a Colombian Restaurant near us compared to going to Queens. But it was definitely... not what we expected. Food had no flavor, it was not cooked like we asked and the portion was kiddie size. The smoothies did nottaste yummy like I'm used to. The meat was too bloody. The area was squeeshy. Price was too high but again it's Manhattan so itdid not surprise me as much. To my point, will have to Travel to Queens for better Colombian Food. Gave two ???? because wishthis place to be better and soon. So owner responded today April 12th: Says they are sorry that I did not like their flavorlessfood and wish that Queens can provide better flavor. Seems that Manhattan is used to non flavor food. Not me. I have live inManhattan long enough to know which restaurants have Real Flavor for me. I am only sorry that I expected more from a ColombianRestaurant. The price was not much of a surprise since I work in Citi Hall and Live in Manhattan. The location was perfect butthe flavorless food was not. Wont be ordering again as the OWNER seems to NOT CARE WHAT WE THINK OR WANT! Read more
Bottom line: delicious Colombian dishes at standard NYC prices. Service on my visit was ridiculously slow. Gluten line: lots of... options, including a plate of 3 different of gluten free breads including pan de bono. Hell yeah! Long line: overall the placeis great. We arrived during happy hour and enjoyed a mojito and caipirinha. We perused the menu and were obviously excited aboutthe bread, and it showed up nice and quick! That's where the fun ended though. We decided we wanted to try the TostonesCubiertos. Once we ordered that, we noticed that time and time passed (20+ mins) and no one had come to check on us. We hadempty water cups and empty drinks. We finally got their attention and ordered another round. Another 15 mins pass and we noticethat there aren't that many other people around to warrant so long for the dish. We ask for an update and the gentleman sayshe'll check. 10 mins later and after walking around the whole place checking on everyone else, he finally goes back into thekitchen and we finally get our dish. Since this all took so long we decided to forgo a 3rd round for fear we'd be done with thefood by the time they finally came. Overall there was much to like, but service dropped by the ball midway in a bad way. Maybethey were just short staffed, but the way the staff present acted you'd think nobody had anything important to do. Read more
One of my favorite brunch spots in the upper east side. Food is traditionally Colombian and very delicious. The place recently... underwent a renovation. The new design opened up the dinning floor a lot more while still keeping it a small gathering eatery. Ihighly recommend the Calentado plate. It’s a savory breakfast dish that includes a bit of everything: egg, arepa, and meat. Ofcourse, you must also try try the Pan de Yucca, which are very mouthwatering. My only complaint is that they already include thetip in the bill no matter how many people are present. However, I can overlook this because of the amazing food and comfortableatmosphere. Read more
