1007 Lexington Ave

This place was dimly lit and very intimate! They make the most of the small space, and our server was so friendly and attentive. My friend and I came at 6pm on a weekday and were seated immediately. We split the arepas montaditas, 1/2 roasted chicken, and seafood rice. The arepas montaditas were loaded with meat, and each one was so flavorful. The 1/2 roasted chicken was smaller than we expected, especially for the price. It was on the sweeter side, which threw us off, and it was a little dry on its own. However, the guac was absolutely delicious, and we regretted not getting the guac starter. The seafood rice was our favorite thing we ordered! The portion size and amount of seafood were perfect, and it was packed with umami flavor. We also got the tres leches for dessert, which was rich and very yummy!

Really poor experience for lunch today. Service was incredibly slow, guacamole was really cold (clearly in fridge prior) and needed salt. The shrimp dish was cold and way over cooked. The server was very apologetic and explained they had an issue with the computer system but we didn't know this until after the fact. Unfortunately due to the slow service and poor tasting food, I would not recommend this location. As for aesthetic, it's very pretty inside.

My husband and I go to different restaurants in Manhattan most Saturday nights for date night, and Maria Mulata was an incredible find. Drinks - delicious and potent using purées from native Colombian fruits. We had the guacamole with plantain chips and fresh plantains for our appetizers, both fabulous. We had one of the authentic Colombian steak dishes as well as the short ribs. My husband loved the steak, and I can't say enough about how delicious and tender the short ribs were. And the desserts! The flan and tres leches were both delicious, but if they have the chocolate cake special with native cacao, served with fresh coconut ice cream, get it! The service and atmosphere were extraordinary. The food actually seemed five star, but more reasonably priced. We can't wait to return.

The food is sensational here. I was not familiar with Columbian food but now I am and love it. I had the avocado & tomato salad to start. We had grilled salmon with a delicious corn puree & a steak dish cooked to perfection for our main courses. The wine list is extensive and offers lots of variety. The specialty cocktails are great, too. The intimate, elegant yet festive atmosphere is perfect for date night or to catch up with a few friends. There is a great singer/guitar player who performs on Tuesdays which is the perfect touch. The charming Chef came out to say hello and to chat with us. He was very personable and engaging (& really talented!!). This is the perfect addition to this upper east side neighborhood. There is nothing like it around. Run don't walk to Maria Mulata. I will be returning here often.

I found Maria Mulata cozy and intimate. There's only about 6 tables, 3 booths and 3 or so high bar tables. The staff is friendly and engaging. I opted for a small appetizer of maduro with arepa sauce, the maduro was perfectly cooked however I thought the sauce was too sweet to be served with an otherwise sweet maduro. My buddy had montaditos on arepitas and they were very good. They were out of the ceviche altogether. Main course I had a Salgado served with a cup of rice on the side, it was perfect, flavorful and an adequate portion. Colombian restaurants tend to serve huge amounts of food, Maria Mulata thankfully does not. My buddy opted for the tamal and he enjoyed it. We shared a desert of tres leches and it was good, moist and dense. My buddy wanted non alcoholic beer but there wasn't any available. I had a vodka to start and my chosen brand was available then I had white wine with dinner and the selection was small but decent. I rated Maria Mulata 4 stars because the place was a bit warm even with fans and AC units on, rating should be 4.5 stars. I will return to further explore the menu and will definitely recommend.

Incredibly delicious and authentic Colombian food at upper east side prices lol. Deserves 5 stars but it's hard to with that location! Definitely worth a visit.

Drinks were amazing!!! The services was 10000/100 thanks Nicolas!! The aesthetic look and the music that was just the perfect volume made everything even better. Would definitely go back to try other stuff on the menu! Appreciated the shots also!

We wanted to try this new Columbian restaurant and we were not disappointed. Decor is modern, waiters were nice and discrete and the food was amazing. Cherry on the cake, they gave us a delicious tres leches dessert on the house! Definitively a great spot in UES. We'll go back with friends.

GREAT brand new addition to the neighborhood! Just opened, a sophisticated chef is clearly in the kitchen, perfect tender skirt steak, juicy & flavor-packed roast chicken - We'll be back for the rest of the menu.

I do not recommend this place at all They're doing a terrible representation of Colombian food. I ordered a simple roasted chicken which tasted like hospital food (zero spices nor condiments), not well cooked. And to top it all, they advertise 1/2 and is actually 1/4

You are greeted as you are family . The bartender server Nicholas makes awesome drinks . The food is delicious. I have had the chicken with rice beans & salad . Super tasty . My Mom came here on her frequent trips to NY . She usually does not like going out to eat to Latin restaurants. We are Spanish and I can honestly say " La mama Cocina Muy BUENO " ( Mom cooks really good !! ) For her to say "I want to come back here " before we even left was awesome . She was super impressed with the Rice Beans . She said the steak with onions had a great taste . Great wine list, pretty ambiance , superb flavorful entrees.

Could be better. Meat quality not the best. The ny strip steak looked grey. Skirt steak had a lot of fat. Empanada were frozen not fresh.
