Chica & The Don

It was my first time at Chica & The Don, I’ll definitely be back! The decor is beautiful, very colorful & vibrant! The music and vibe are energetic!! The service was very attentive & prompt, I loved the drinks & food! Cocktails are unique and food was very flavorful! The staff was amazing!!!! Great Latin restaurant in NYC!!!

My favorite item on the menu was the Short Rib y Maduro Quesadilla! Absolutely Delicious (10/10). It was fresh and cheesy, and the short rib was well seasoned. I would literally go back just to order that. I also had the Alitas de Pollo (Mango Habanero wings) which had a kick of spice in it. All the food was super fresh and delicious. The restaurant is beautiful. The bar is located in the front with a seating area. If you head towards the back, they have a more formal dining room area that gives lounge vibes. They also have a dance floor and a live band was playing around 8 pm. They do have a happy hour with 2 drinks. All of the drinks are pretty strong, but they have mocktails if you are more of a lightweight. My favorite drink was the Electrico. It was a spin on the rum and coke! The buzz button flower that comes with the drink is certainly an experience, and definitely gives the drink its name: Electric!

I always find it challenging to find a spot that has both amazing food and a fun and upscale atmosphere. Chica and the Don has changed that. NYC was missing a Latin spot that had this kind of feel. The ceviche is the best I’ve had, very fresh and great flavors. The arroz chaufa was beyond this world. Cooked to perfection, definitely a great amount of lobster and a perfect option to share with the table. One drink was something I’ve never experienced before. They give you a flower to eat before sipping and it makes your tongue feel numb which creates this really unique sensation. The live music and people dancing is the perfect way to end your evening. Must go to spot

AMAZING!!! From the server who made perfect recommendations in a delightful stylish atmosphere to delicious one of a kind food with over the top spectacular presentations to finally a visit from the owner.....TRULY a perfect night! We will be back again and again.

Food was just fine, but not worth the prices to be honest. Much better restaurants at this price point. The short rib quesadilla was good, but could have used more balanced flavors as the short rib and greasy cheese over powered each other. The tostada was ok, I didn't taste any crab but it was good. The steak, intended to be shared was barely enough for 1 person, but it was flavored nicely. The fish was rich and balanced, also a good portion but disappointed it wasn't deboned for us by the waitstaff. For $75 it should have been. The arroz chaufa was the best thing I ate, great flavor, definitely meant to be shared. The salcipapa was tasty but not truly a salcipapa, just crumbles of chorizo with a mayo, ketchup dressing. The guac was fine, nothing special. The tostones and maduros were perfect. For cocktails, I had the Meloncito which I thought was too tart to enjoy any of the other ingredients, I switched to the Pina con Coco, added rum, and it was really good. Service was good but a little slow. The waitress and bus boy were very sweet. The vibe and decor of the place was very cool, good music and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The live music was cool.

This restaurant is amazing in all aspects! The food is delicious, the drinks are perfect, and the service is top tier. For food you must try the short rib and maduro quesadilla. I’ve never had anything like it, it was delicious! The electrico is yummy and the presentation is **chefs kiss**! Certainly put Chica and The Don on your list for your next night out. We will certainly be returning!

A vibe! A scene! An experience. 10/10 - the short rib quesadilla changed my brain chemistry

My girlfriend and I are always looking for a good place with good music. Chica & The Don has great food and ambiance They have a mix of latin music, which was appreciated ✨️ We had the cabana verde (kind of like a mojito), short rib quesdillas, and tres leche. Truly recommend.
