β€œHidden gem! Excellent all around. Fun for a date night or a chill evening after work. Food - delicious and creative. Good mix of safe bets and exotic adventures. Drinks - fantastic and creative cocktails Service - slow for NYC if you are in a rush to get in and out, but perfect if you want to take the experience all in and enjoy the evening. Think island time, but worth it for the attention to care in the food and beverages. The owner, chef, bar tender, waiter may all be the same person at times (Nestor). Loved it! Atmosphere - It wraps it all up beautifully. It's quaint and festive. Loots to look at on the walls. Everything appears to be a personal work of art or decor. The small chairs and wood tables are fitting for the food, space, and overall vibe. I highly recommend it. I look forward to visiting again next time I'm in NYC.”

β€œ El Kallejon - East Harlem Gem El Kallejon is an absolute must in El Barrio for authentic food and artisanal drinks. Every detail is so thoughtfully curated--from the incredible menu to the welcoming atmosphere and lively vibe. We were lucky enough to enjoy a live band and be seated in their gorgeous backyard, which made the night feel extra special. The amazing owner personally attended to us, and the staff made us feel so cared for the entire evening. Every dish and drink was absolutely delicious, and the experience as a whole was unforgettable. We can't wait to come back! ”
