Cafe Nunez

Café Nunez consistently provides a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, ensuring a positive experience regardless of the time of day. The lively music, coupled with high-quality food and beverages, guarantees customer satisfaction. The food was exceptional, and my friends from Canada and New Jersey thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Our server was courteous and attentive, proactively checking on our needs. Similarly, the hookah attendant provided prompt and efficient service. I wholeheartedly recommend Café Nunez.

Wanted to grab a quick bite and came across Cafe Nunez. Did not disappoint! My grilled chicken breast filled with vegetables was amazing! Atmosphere was great and staff was friendly, especially our server Bethania! Will be coming back.

Cafe Nunez is an extremely lively and energetic spot that is a good time, no matter the day or time! With lively and upbeat music being played at all times, good food and drinks, you will never be disappointed. They have an amazing bottomless brunch offer for $42.95, which gives you a 3-course meal and 90 mins of unlimited mimosas, sangrias, and frosés.

Pro: the atmosphere is really nice, lights are on point, temperature was cool, good music mixed between Spanish and English, music level good, I was able to still talk at the table, food was really good as well and their hookah last long and hitting nicely. Also they make sure your table stays clean, big plus.Con: the food portions are not that big, kind of small and wish this place was bigger. Drinks are usually 15 and up but their buckets for 25 somewhat make up for drinks that are on the pricey side.

I cannot stop raving and referring Cafe Nunez! I choose them to cater my niece and her husbands baby shower which had a guest list of 135 people. Cafe Nunez was amazing! The food was delicious, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Several guests took home more than one plate of food.We did a planning call where they helped me figure out the appropriate amount of food to order, they stayed in communication with me and responded to all of my questions.On the day of the event, they arrived on time with enough staff to set up the bar and food service. The staff was experienced professionals who handled everything and checked in during the event to make sure everything was to expectations. They were warm and engaging, courteous, and professional. I cannot thank Christian Nunez and his amazing team enough for making the day perfectly special.Thanks, Cafe Nunez!

Went for the first time this summer I’d highly recommend this place to everyone! They have a great selection of food and drinks. They have a nice section with hookah for purchase.

Cafe Nunez was a great Spanish restaurant. For the Latinos that want to just chill out, vibe out, and have a great time, this is the must be spot.Bethania was exceptional. She really went above and beyond. My boy was visiting from Texas and she made sure that we were taken care. Give her a promotion, for the amount of effort and all around best customer serving I have seen in a restaurant.Having a Spanish restaurant in the heart of Times Square is a rarity and this place needs to be cherished.

It was an after work lounge experience and I love it ! There is different happy hour based on the day of the week. The tacos were absolutely delicious! The morir sońando drink was a hit. $25 beer buckets and music was on point. I enjoyed my experience here. Hookah available and waitresss friendly and attentive. Will go back !

I walked into this place and was at the door waiting to get seated for a while they were too busy talking but I patiently waited because I was recommended to go there, finally was seated. I ordered a meal just for myself. I just saw a picture of what I wanted online. The mofongo with shrimp it was 28 then on the other menu 32 and final price 34. Avocado online menu I saw was 4 other menu 7 final price 8 so it ended up being like 42 and some change for the meal on top of that I left the waiter cash tip. when she came back with the tablet asked me to just sign so I did and the tip option I didnt select because I left her cash tip. well she tipped herself too without my permission. I called explaining why the over charge they told me to stop by with my receipt so they can reimburse me. For the price of both tips I could have gotten a meal somewhere else. I also had to eat it super fast because it took too long to come out and I now needed to run back to work so I ate so fast I didnt enjoy it. Adrianne had said she will reimburse the tip which was almost 9 dollars. This was on Oct 3rd today is the 13th and still nothing showing refund on my bank account, a few days ago I called again cus I knew Adrienne probably forgot. She said Ill talk to someone in the office put me on hold then told me that I was all set they refunded my tip but still nothing. The total of that meal without a drink because I just had water was 60 dollars. Insane for just a meal from 42 to 53.96 plus my cash tip total 60 and some change. I nicely asked to reimburse my tip portion l feel like they lied to me about the refund because I checked my bank account and nothing yet. Today I have to leave a bad review that I avoided doing because its wrong to lie about getting refunded and a 60$ dollar meal for one person wasnt worth it. I didnt have desert and drink either. I have been to great restaurants and dont mind paying for an expensive meal but mofongo come on and no dessert or drink for that price! I didnt order filet mignon with a nice glass of wine and dessert! it was just mofongo with a couple shrimp and avocado. I felt that I nicely left her cash tip and double dipping on tips that I didnt agree on isnt cool. They replied that they are committed to fixing the problem. They didnt attempt to fix it. I had to report to my bank and go another route because I went there because they told me to stop by and ask for my receipt so they can refund me. I am glad I took a picture of the receipt because I dont trust and just in case they Forget and they did. LIERS I contacted the bank and told them I left a cash tip and that they took a tip without my permission. This 60 dollar for one person is now becoming not only expensive but upsetting. The tip portion may not be alot for some but its mine even if is a dollar they take without permission Ill shine a light on the problem.

This is our second time Cafe Nunez is hosting an event for us and we dont regret it at all. The atmosphere was perfect, music and the vibe in the VIP room. The drinks (margaritas and Moscow mules) were just perfect!We will definitely go back. Thank you Karla for the great service.

Visited during a holiday party, and the pros were: great DJ, delicious food, and the manager was very serviceable. The cons: mandatory coat check and not free, we had reservations, and our party still had to wait on the long lines, if not coming in together (defeats the purpose of reservations if you ask me), the waitress we had was OK (had a streak of rudeness to her ).Overall, it was a good hangout spot.

Love it here!! The food is absolutely amazing! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service? A definite 10/10! All the staff were incredibly nice and created such a positive vibe that made our dining experience even more enjoyable.Our server, Carla, was truly wonderful—so patient and kind! She took the time to help us choose our food orders and really made sure we enjoyed everything. If you come here, do yourself a favor and ask for Carla; you will not be disappointed. Cant wait to come back!

Atmosphere is good here. The drinks are made well and taste amazing. Amelia did a good job taking care of service.

I loooooved the buffet! I was about to spend more than 60 dollars on the bar beside but one of the servers, Eve, mention me about how convenient and delicious the buffet was. Incredible as she said! Specially how aware they are about you feeling well served. I’ll definitely come back

Its a must visit! Atmosphere was lit and make sure you go to Bethania she will take care of you ♥️🥂Coming again soon! Also Hookah was top top tier. I had a great time!

Had a special day with my loved ones for my daughter birthday..they all had a amazing time..wife was satisfied and we Going back again..

Our server was Steven. His service from beginning to end was amazing. He made sure we had a great time during our mini family reunion. Claudia was the bartender, and her mimosas were on point!! We left here happy, with full bellies, and ready to dance. We will be back with friends and hope to see Steven and Claudia again.

I went to this location twice. Once on a Saturday and another on a Sunday. Had two different experiences. The first time was good which caused us to come back but then we had a poor experience the 2nd time. Food is cooked and tastes delicious. But the service was up n down. And the prices on a Saturday are way better than a Sunday.

Cafe Núñez offers a great dining experience with delicious food. You can choose from a variety of dishes, selecting exactly what you want to eat, and you only pay for what you pick. It’s a flexible and enjoyable way to enjoy a meal, with plenty of options to suit different tastes. Highly recommended!

Always fantastic! I came to celebrate my girlfriend s birthday, and Bethania took care of us in an awesome way! The Music , the hooka and the drinks were delicious! Favorite place to enjoy in downtown! Thank you Bethania, very profesional treatment!

The food was pretty good (I say as a Dominican) and the atmosphere was nice. Theres an area in the front for regular dining and in the back with music and lights for a different vibe. My one drawback was their lack of follow through with their Monday special. They state in their flyer that on Mondays, 5-8pm, they have 50% off food and $7 house drinks. While my drink was $7 (originally $15), there was no discount applied to my order. I would ask about the deal before sitting down if you want to try this place for their specials.

Visiting from out of town we were expecting to get the buffet that was “affordable” from a post I saw. When we arrived it was like club night and the prices are high (nbd). We had a good time enjoyed the vibes. Bethania was our server and she did a great job checking on us which is not usually the case when places like that have a “club/bar scene”. You usually wait a long time or get neglected. She also took the time to get our order right with the loud music and pack our food for us! ☺️

Went for a quick lunch. You can either do All you can eat or a set price for one pound. Theres a lot to choose from. If you know Dominican and Puerto Rican dishes, youll feel familiar with the buffet offerings here. You have white rice, yellow rice, beans, oven roasted chicken, fried chicken cracklings, stew pork, fried green and yellow plantains (tostones and maduros). Theres potato salad, green salad, avocado salad, lasagna. So many things to choose from.The line was long but moved so fast you dont feel like you are standing there for long. Its informal and friendly. There is a bar area but I didnt have any thing to drink. They had some old-school merengue music playing. Theres a lot of seating. Id definitely go back here for lunch. Its affordable and good portions for the price and the location.

Steven….whwre do I begin. He is the cutest, sweetest, most attentavie and talented person. He’s the reason the room lights up and you will want to keep it coming all night! The best person in New York City. If you’re looking for fun, vibes, and sexy, you got Steven!!

Service was amazing , food was amazing, and drinks were not weak. But ask for Ricky the bartender to make your drinks they’re amazing.PS hookah is also good lasted us 1 hour without a refill IYKYK

The food and vibes are great. I had the Filet Of Sol with crabmeat over spinach mash. It was an 10/10 and their skirt steak appetizer was amazing.Our server Bethania went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant time. Will definitely be back here, make sure you check it out.

Went for happy hour with the boyz as soon as we landed from Toronto. Met with amazing hospitality, delicous smell of the buffet and cold happy hour beers. Top it off with the best person behind the bar - Amelia :) Thank you Cafe Nunez, Ill be back.

The service was great. The green plantains with the beef was good. The drinks kept coming and Bethania made sure the service was good. She kept coming to us before our drinks were finished.

Bethania was our server and is lovely! She frequently check on me and my partner through our dinner which I loved and made my night unforgettable for me and my partner. Will definitely be making sure to come back .

The lunch specials can be a hit or miss because of the quality and quantity of my food. While the flavor of the beans, pork, side carrot salad and plantains were all very good, the quality certainly is better elsewhere. My serving of roasted pork was full of a rubbery skin and fatty parts. The quantity didn’t fill up the portioned container, the beans were so few. And the white rice wasn’t fluffy or tender.Chicken tacos: Delicious. Filled with shredded chicken. Four sauces and lime wedges.Dominican Stew Pork: Good. Stew portion feels tiny compared to the rice ratio for these portioned take out containers.

Food was good, portions decent. However the service was very slow and took forever to get our food. Two areas of the restaurant was strange. Very dark and music too loud to talk.

This was a wonderful experience and the bar looks amazing. The atmosphere in this place is great. If you’re looking for a good time with friends or family come here. Ask for Bethania!! (Margarita Tower)

Came here with my friends for Latin Friday and it was very fun and exciting! Our server Bethania was a pleasure and very nice! She was quick and the food was good!

Drinks, hookah, and food were on point, and Bethainas service was outstanding. She constantly checked in on us, ensuring everything was perfect, definitely making you want to ask for her next time.

Good food! Great mix of music (live dj), and great vibe. Amelia was great a host.

Bethania and Steven have been great as per our customer service! Our drinks and food were served in a timely manner! My partner and I are very satisfied and can’t wait to come back!!! Thank you

Bethania was awesome and accommodated every request. Great food, music, and people. I would definitely come here again and will recommend to my friends and family looking for a great latin food spot in NYC.

I loveeeeeeeee this place the service was amazing especially my server Suzie was amazing I definitely recommend this place especially for your birthday because on my birthday everyone wish me an happy birthday the vibes here are amazing also kids can do karaoke♥️♥️♥️

Enjoy the brunch food with hubby. Unlimited drinks were good too.

Daisy was amazing and had great service. It was my first time coming here and she ensured that I had everything that I needed. I will come here again for sure and request to be helped by either Daisy or Maria. Both were great and the food/drinks were a 10/10!

This place was a very pleasure experience. The music was wonderful, the staff very attractive and friendly. I felt like I was at home. Definitely recommended and will come back multiple times.

Order arrived an hour late with beans spilled all over bag. The rice and pork chops are great but when I tried to order again they were not able to make the delivery and still tried to take my money instead of canceling the order.

Steven was server & he was absolutely amazing!! I didnt even know about this spot but he made it unforgettable. Id recommend to everybody & i definitely will be back!!

The musis is popping. The food get the grilled chicken with the yuca mash sooo good you wont regret. The service phenomal by Steven!!! We came here to celebrate chelsy’s bday. 100% recommend.

Great good. Live music, super. Or server Evelyn was very friendly and attentive

The food was good and served timely, the drinks were strong but not too strong. Amelia was a great server and made sure she got everyone what they needed.

Bethania was an amazing waitress. Very attentive and always checking on me. Highly recommend this place.

*Disappointing Experience at [Restaurant MerengueMy lady and I recently visited [Restaurant Merengue], expecting a pleasant evening of Spanish cuisine and dancing. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by several issues.Upon arrival 9:30 pm, security checked my ladys purse and scanned me with a hand wand. We were then shown to a table on the side of the dance floor, which was made of unstable aluminum. The menu provided had no prices listed, so my lady had to look them up on the website.Our waitress took a while to attend to us, and we didnt receive complimentary water or bread. When she finally took our order, we requested steaks with onions, one with rice and beans, and the other with plantains. However, our drinks arrived with issues - my ladys passion fruit drink was too thick, and my canned soda was served without a glass or ice.The food took around 40 minutes to prepare, and when it arrived, the steak was dry, and the onions were undercooked. When my lady asked for a glass of water, the waitress informed us that they only sell bottled water.The restroom was dirty, and the dance floor was hazardous to cross. The waitresses outfits were overly revealing and detracted from the dining experience. The Spanish music was too loud, and the restaurant was not busy, with only three other couples besides us.Overall, our experience was disappointing, and we wouldnt recommend [Restaurant Merengue] for a romantic evening or Spanish cuisine. The establishment could benefit from significant upgrades to their service, food quality, and ambiance.

The place is on 35th street right down the street from Madison Square Garden . Bettania the waitress was great 👍. The food was excellent, there is good Latin music and the four of us had a three course meal, with coffee and wine 🍷 for under $300. Go there.🙌🙌👍🍷

Steven is the best. He is quick and made sure our table was good. He checks in on us , and is very professional. Cafe Nunez is the spot. Yall need to come thru after work.

I came with my friends and Bethania was our lovely waitress of the night and she helped us decide on the margarita tower and that was a great choice!!!!! and honestly best waitress ever fr

Came here on a pulsd. Made my reservation two days prior to my arrival and mentioned my pulsd as the instructions stated I needed to. Well when we were sat, the server told us immediately after me letting her know I have a pulsd that they are no longer working with pulsd. It eventually got sorted out but they were not going to honor it. I had to ask for a manager.Other than that, service was slow. The bus boy/bar back was way more attentive to my table than the server. Service was not consistent. I watched our server treat other tables with more kindness and attention. I’m assuming it’s because I had a pulsd.We got the brunch so we should’ve had the drinks rolling in for 90 mins but they kept taking their time while our glasses sat empty. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price because it wouldn’t have been worth it at all for that service.Our meals were fresh and good for the most part outside of my dry half chicken. The sauce helped with that though. Also, they forgot my friends fruit salad with her breakfast.Over vibe of the place itself and other staff members outside of our server were great!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Nunez, and the experience was exceptional! Our waitress, Ashley, was fantastic – attentive, friendly, and made sure our needs were met promptly. Karla also provided excellent service, enhancing our dining experience with her warm and professional demeanor. Cindy, the hostess, welcomed us with a smile and made us feel instantly at ease.The hookah was superb, offering a smooth and enjoyable experience that added a fun element to our evening. The pitcher we ordered was equally impressive – refreshing and perfectly mixed.Overall, the combination of outstanding service from Ashley, Karla, and Cindy, along with the great hookah and pitcher, made our visit to Cafe Nunez truly memorable. Highly recommend this spot for a fantastic night out!

My server Evelyn was the best!! The fritters and hookah here is beast and they are not stingy with the liquor! Has been a go to spot for 2 years!!

Evelyn was awesome. She took care of us and suggested great drinks for us to try. Thank you Evelyn.

Came here to celebrate my boy’s bday. Had a great time, music was poppin. Ricky, the bartender, made our time here special. His service was excellent. We would definitely recommend!

I come to cafe nunez every Friday and the music is great but my favorite part is my bartender Maria Maria shes the best very attentive and always smiling making you feel so welcome, ask for Maria when yall go she is the best and the drinks are on point!!

After eating here for many year, today i had a bad experience. I went to this restaurant to have lunch by myself around 2:30pm while i was already eating at the table that is near the side walk/window, one of the cashier ladys came up to me to tell me that i needed to move to another table because that table was already “reserved” which was all a lie, there was no sign saying “TABLE RESERVED” but i did the favor and move to another table. The reason why she wanted me to move is because the other guess had a DOG with them and didn’t want the dog all the way inside into the restaurant but they still took the dog inside and thats unacceptable bc dog hair can go in customers food, is not safe for your health.I Did ask for a manager and i was told to come tomorrow because there was no manager at the moment or assistant manager which i think that was also a lie.If a manager sees this post on time, he or she can view the camera from 2-3pm by table near the windows and see for them self there was a dog inside the restaurant.I WONT BE COMING IN HERE AGAIN!!!

The food was amazing. Ordered the pork chop dinner, had some of the best calamari 3ver, yuka fries and plantains. Everything was perfect. The service is very attentive. Music is a little loud but if you sit towards 5hr front its perfect. Great spot highly recommend. Oh and the hookah was a nice touch with the mojito.

We definitely went there at the wrong time.Buyer beware, the music starts jumping and it’s loud…..I mean REALLY FREAKIN LOUD at about 5:30 when we arrived for a meal.We couldn’t hear the server at all…. Too dark to read the menu….. it took about 2 minutes to realize we needed to go.The lunch reviews seemed great so that’s definitely something to do next time…..We just weren’t Club ready at 5:30pm…..

I found this place last minute after another place didn’t go as planned. On the walk in the atmosphere was very welcoming the music is a 10/10 the music is a 9/10& the food is a 10/10 . Steven was our waiter and he was very accommodating definitely a must try !

Aumilia was an amazing bartender! Great music, great atmosphere, and great food. Love to see Dominican culture in lower Manhattan 🥰

This spot is nice, they play great music and the food was good. Drinks were also good. I recommend to come here with your friends you’ll have a good time.

I went for brunch, inside needs alot of work looks like its under construction, but dont let that deter you. they have the best empanadas around town. The brunch menu was really nice. The steak and eggs was nicely cooked, everything was fresh and the service was spectacular. Im definitely going back for dinner.

I was having a good time and enjoying a good drink during Happy Hour with a friend at this location for the first time. However, Everything went south when the waitress was pushing us to close our tab because her shift was ending when we were not ready to close AND a few minutes later they decided to turn the AC off and the water from the AC fell all on my back and I informed them about it and said I don’t want to write a bad review about this, but I’m willing to take a complimentary drink on the house for this issue because I’m soaked from the AC unit. I did not want to get sick, but the other waiter came and cleaned the water off the couch and table but giggled about my request to do it or speak to a manager about it and told the other staff and giggled about it. Definitely NOT the best customer service to resolve a situation mostly when they closed me out and CHARGES me 20% gratitude on top of it so they did not worry about losing TIP. Just keep that in mind people of the service they give. Very disappointing. This was my first and last time going here. Definitely not going back due to the service and how they treat their customers. It was very EMPTY too. I see why now. I have a picture of the outcome but it kept getting taken off.

Excellent Claudia is the best.. on point..on top of the news and ahead of the times

Don’t even get me started on this beautiful hidden gem. I came across this restaurant as we were walking in the city. During our visit they were running their lunchtime buffet special. Finding a buffet in New York City was unbelievable. And the fact that it was so affordable was even crazier. This Hispanic restaurant offers amazing authentic food that would be hard to find in Manhattan. My favorites were the mangú, fried fish, plantains, rice and beans, the diverse salad bar, and so much more. Even the margaritas were good. The restaurant is great for families, couples and locals. An empty stomach is recommended. There soo many things to try, you’ll need the space. I know you will enjoy the food the atmosphere and the great customer service. Have fun and don’t forget who put in the good word. 😉

Amalia’s service at Cafe Nunez was exceptional. Her warm greeting, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made my experience truly memorable for my birthday. I highly recommend visiting Cafe Nunez and experiencing Amalia’s outstanding hospitality firsthand. Thank you, Amalia, for a wonderful time.

Amelia was the best! She was attentive and made sure we were good the whole time. Will definitely come back because of her

Came on a Sunday afternoon and the vibes were lit. DJ was active, and the lights were going. Food was absolutely delicious and the plating was beautiful. Unfortunately, the video is the best I can do given the lights. I got the Nunez Mofongo and my friend got the filet de sol. We also had Pina coladas and margaritas that were really well made. Will definitely be back.

Bethania lima I really appreciate the service! Good was great! Very polite ve eh profesional! I’m here on vacation from DR. Definetly will be coming back! Great atmosphere great service! WILL BE COMING BACK!

Great atmosphere and servers, i had a great time!!! They were very generous with drinks & food, very nice people shout out to my girl karla!!! I had the best time.

Amelia was our bartender/host , she was very friendly and attentive . We love cafe Nunez !! Thank you for a great night

Keeping it real out here in midtownPlace is always empty in the morning when I get breakfast from there. Food is pretty good, homemade type of quality, no cheaping out on ingredients. Front desk staff were nice one time and just very aiight another time, chef was a nice and courteous guy who handed me the food. Might still visit, just might.

Franco and Ricky did an amazing job serving us tonight! They made my birthday extra special. Thank you guys!!

The place is spacious and clean . The host were very polite and respectful. They had a special for unlimited everything for $19.99. It was great . I got the chicken soup with Tostones for $13 .

The food here is excellent and very delicious Great customer service, Daisy took very good care of us when we arrive and we were finish eating she was very attentive. God bless this business.

Delicious food, great customer service, definitely you cant go wrong.Very clean, the food was superb we had a picada and steak and it was beyond our expectations.

Excellent service, the food was really good. Thank you to the waitress Andrea and the manager Stefanie for the hospitality. I enjoy my birthday.

Amazing service from Bethania and Steven for my friends birthday.definitely a cute spot to celebrate an agent

Bethania was the best. This place looks really nice and has great music. Good drinks too!

Hands down one of the best Latin restaurants weve been to. Customer service is outstanding, very attentive! Food was amazing good quality, great portion sizes! Vibes were absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this spot!!

Food is amazing! The drinks are great! The music is even better! Love it here.

CHEAP with their servings when you order! I have ate at Cafe Nunez a handful of times and the food is good HOWEVER this is now the 2nd time that I get ripped off when I order a lunch special and they serve me literally a piece of meat AND the food was COLD. They were cheap with the beans as well. Its RIDICULOUS. My coworker and me ordered together, about $15 per person plus tip. So upset, NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!

Excellent bartending experience. Food is very good and prices reasonable. Frequent visits and no negative experience to mention

Karla and the Host Cyndie are the absolute best! Quick service, super friendly & overall some of the best ladies i’ve ever met. I come here only for them!!!

Great experience and ambiance! Amelia was a great server and had amazing recommendations from the menu.

Cafe Nunez is the best spot in the city .. Steven is the best waiter HAS A GREAT VIBE.. Was the first time here. FOOD WAS GREAT THE DRINKS ARE AMAZING..

Evelyn was very attentive. Very good customer service. Always checked up on us to make sure we were good.

Great food very afforable prices and very friendly staff the owner is such a sweet girl. I had the crab meat mofongo its its to die for.Had a margarita and a piña coladaDelicious i would give 10 stars to this place congratulations Café Nunez.

Amelia was nice and attentive. We had a good time here. Definitely coming back!

My bartender Majo is exceptional always come to her for my drinks , always happy and gives wonderful service . Among the best at café Núñez . Cuando vengan la buscan Majo .

Sara, is an amazing waitress and took care of me and my sister! The place is a vibe, with great hookah, music and food!

My girlfriend and I were brought into what appeared for all intensive purposes to be an illegal nightclub in a cafe last night. The doorman called my friend baby, opened the door for her and as I passed through, he released it early enough for the door to strike my backside. Inside, we were manhandled (grabbed and pulled around, eventually forced to sit at a table) by strangers who stood around us like they were guarding us from the crowd. I have never felt more endangered in a club-- like something bad was going to happen to us! A random man blew hookah smoke directly into my face like I was nothing. During that time, a mysterious fluid was deposited on my shoulder and landed on her purse and jacket.

Did the brunch with a friend. Which was amazing! The waitress Daisy was super attentive! the food, music is definitely a vibe!

1ST THE STAFF IS MADE OF GOLDAND ALL THE LADIES ARE GORGEOUSFOOD ALWAYS AMZINGMUSIC IS ALWAYS BANGINGYOU FEEL SAFE WELCOMED AND AT HOMEMUCHAS GRACIS CAFE NUNEZ

The vibes were lit and the food was amazing. Our server Bethania was great.

The atmosphere was very fun and welcoming. Sarah was so nice and greeted me immediately upon coming inside. They have a big variety of food options, needed less to say it was hard for me to choose what to get. I went with the picadera plate for 2 and steak & chicken tacos.. definitely recommend, it was very good! The service was great. Sarah was very attentive, always coming back to the table to make sure everything was good. No complaints here! They also have happy hour, which I missed the time slot for but will definitely be coming back for. Totally recommend!

I had an incredible dining experience at Cafe Nunez thanks to our outstanding waitress, Sarah. Her attentiveness and friendliness truly made our visit memorable. Not only was the service top-notch, but the food was also exceptional. Each dish was prepared with care and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was further enhanced by the delightful music playing in the background, adding to the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend Cafe Nunez for its great service, delicious cuisine, and fantastic music. Cant wait to visit again!

Steven was my waiter for my coworkers bday dinner. He was attentive, provided us with positive vibes and was personable amazing!!!

Amazing fresh hot food. If you love Dominican Mangu this is the place. They only serve it at breakfast though.

Shrimp Mofongo - I have to say I was a little bit upset about the wait time but when I finally got home and was able to enjoy my meal, it was well worth the wait. I got the shrimp mofongo and it was the best I ever had. I found my Friday night take home spot yall!!! Excellent! Was only going to eat half but ate the whole thing in on sitting.

I ordered lunch special with pernil to go. Almost all the meat I got was pure fat or greasy porkskin. I get that they cant give 100% best meat to everyone, but... this was very disappointing!

The vibes are immaculate and happy hour is HAPPYYYYYYYY with these delicious margaritas from our girl Claudia! Love her so much, ask for her to make your drinks trust! ❤️

Had a great time. Bethania was so nice, she was very patient and helpful.

Bethania was great ❤️ super helpful, super sweet, great energy. 5 stars for her.

Great spot! Tapas are on point. Amazing DJ. Shouts out to Amelia for the amazing service!

I love this place! Ricky the bartender goes above and beyond to welcome you and assure that you’re having the most amazing time here! He’s super nice makes you laugh and super attentive. His drinks are amazing and for sure to get you to stay longer than intended! Have many more amazing staff members; Cindy, Ashley, Edgar. Everyone truly treats you as family and welcome you to return for another wonderful time !!!

So i visited this place as i wanted to have shisha and my experience with shisha wasnt really good. I will rate shisha only 2 out of 5 as 1st of all yiu can see in photo pipe was broken i informed staff ajd they gave me a filter to use and didnt change the pipe anyhow i tried shisha. Smoke was less. And when after 20min i asked to change the coal staff said sorry we do not change you have to pay $20 to refill. This is crazy just check out the shisha and let me know dose that shisha worth $50? Not visiting again

Omg first time and the best time! My friends and I had so much fun here on a Sunday night. We had great food and that Miami Vice margarita was insanely good! Great portions of food too. Liquor was perfectly portioned in the marg too. Overall spent about $50 with tip included but so worth it. Our waitress was good, we knew she was swamped and was like the only one working but she came through for us. Definitely will back again next year on our annual visit!

Excellent service from Steven , excellent food and drinks , they allow u to mix whatever hookah flavors u want

Great music, food and drinks. I recommend this place a 100% thanks Evelyn for your attention

The drinks were good for Manhattan prices. Karla, our server, was attentive the whole night and the music had me and my friends dancing the whole night!

Karla was an excellent server, and took very good care of us. The food & drinks were also very good.

Bethania went above and beyond to ensure our party was happy and had a great time!

Up and above.. but not beyond. The pros: our waitress was amazing, sweet, helpful, accommodating. I dined in with my boyfriend for his birthday. Great music, they even did a little surprise birthday flair . The Food .. the food was amazing.. 5 out of 5.. only con.. the photographer. I guess assumed that we wouldnt want our photos taken. And literally, went to every table except for ours, now although it didnt bother me. It does bother my man.. so yeah needs to be better for sure. Other and that would definitely go back.

The people are very nice, the temperature and hygiene in the restaurant is awesome, and this food tastes like my home country 🇩🇴. 10/10, definitely the best food in ny

Been coming here for years and everything has recently been updated. Sounds, interior and the food is very good. I’ll definitely be back for the vibes and dope DJs.

Amelia is the best! Super bartender and knowledgeable about the area! Thanks Cafe Nunez!

Amazing food and service. Very good bottomless

Bethania was a great server. Service was great and the music was amazing.

The food was very tasteful and our waiter Bethania was awesome.

Our first visit here was delightful; the ambiance and the attentive service truly stood out. Ashley, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. Im eagerly looking forward to returning with my husband, especially since the Latin music was fantastic.

Maria the bartender was really nice and helpful I love this place thank you Maria for the morir soñando drink it was great

Just want to start off by saying I got charged $48.36 for a supposedly large order of oxtails with a side of beans and rice, this is not large order only 5 pieces of meat. Never again this is a scam. Super disappointed with this.

Very good food, definitely above average service. Would go again, definitely for the food. Lookout for a review on @officialfoodieguide!Fyi - overpriced drinks (for what you get)

Great location, great food selection, drink specials are off the hook. Highly recommend

Bethany L. Great customer service made our dinner experience delightful.Thank you.

One of my favorite local spots for lunch and drinks after work. Good food. Good drinks, awesome waiter (Ashley), and great DJ.

This is my 2nd time here 1st time was great 2nd time not so great reason why Im making this review... on top of the system being down we had to pay cash only.. and you have to pay 14.99 for a 2 year old child.. service is already poor if your not on top of them.. and besides it being 24.95 not including tax its a mandatory 18% tip for only 3 people... I dont think Ill be coming around this way anymore..

Best experience I’ve had at a bar, Majo was the best bartender I’ve had in years she is very attentive and made the best drinks 🎉

The DJ was amazing. The drinks were good and cheap. Definitely a good place to go to in Herald Square!

Amazing service the food and drink were very good would definitely recommend and the service was amazing thanks to Steven

If you are seeking to sample Dominican cuisine, this establishment is an excellent option.They provide a buffet-style dining experience, allowing you to partake in a substantial meal.The service provided was exceptionally amiable and inviting.I wholeheartedly endorse this establishment.GABRIELA, my server, was extraordinarily accommodating and attentive to my needs.

Love this place! Friday & Saturdays are the best days. Drinks A1. Steak, yummy!

Being of Haitian descent, I was insulted for getting frisked while others next to me were not. Also, the food wasnt worth the 123 dollars paid. This was the worst takeout experience in my 19yrs living in NYC.

W Bethania and Steven. Good eats. Good vibes.

The staff was very friendly and I loved that the music was diverse of different genres. Clean , friendly, and if you love taking photos, they have great spots within the store. The drinks was very good also.

My friend and I were there on Saturday. I had the Oxtail stew, delicious, great staff and att. I’ll stop by next time I’m in town for sure.

Bethania was AMAZING! Favorite server in a long time, made the night

Came here for the first time last weekend and absolutely loved my time. My friends and I ordered the platter of food and it was amazing as well.Our bartender Ricky served us great drinks and was super attentive.10/10 I recommend this spot to anyone.

They only had a B, not the WORST, but it means something about their cleanliness!! Also, food was just OK,,, nothing great. Wouldnt recommend, nor would I go back!! BUT, the price was very good, around $16 for all you can eat!! Good for Manhattan.

Love this place! Bethania gave us such good service. Super friendly and welcoming ! 100% recommend

Had an amazing time the is Food always goodOur waiter Steven was on point …

Solid lunch special.Dominican stew pork lunchI got it with rice and beans and it comes with sweet plantains, potato salad. Very tasty and a good portion for the price.

Super sabrosa la comida.Great place to eat.Daisy our service was awesome.

Claudia y Ricardo very good bartenders! I really appreciate how I was treated

Really nice food and really great music. A must visit.

Claudia has been very great at her service serving me , she’s a great communicator 💪🏾🥰

Amelia was amazing we love her and will be back because of her! We had a great time

I’m very pleased with my visit! I came to see Randy Wisky and really enjoyed listening to the show live! Evelyn and Amelia were amazing, A+ service! The food was delicious and the drinks were great. Happy to it’s everything, will come back!

Nahira is an absolute artistic angel who goes above beyond for her clients. An open individual that will carry an amazing conversation if desired.Ricky is skillful in producing results that will encourage his customers to look forward to another visit to the establishment.Drinks are top tier!

The food is delicious, but they are very expensive. I went 2 days ago for lunch and the exact same meal cost me $9. Now the same plate cost me $18 for 1lb. If it wasnt for the food being delicious I would of walked out.Can you believe $18 for just a small plate?

I used to like this place because the drinks are good and are not expensive. But lately the music isn’t good as used to be. The service is good as always.

Steven was are waiter, he is amazing, great atomshpere and great music.

**WARNING***🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Be very careful here, I used my debit card to pay and the very NEXT day I had FRAUDULENT activity on my card from a nearby ATM that was next to this restaurant….

Food was great and Bethania hosted us well.

Claudia been the greatest player in her services , great communication skills 😍

I was walking by one day and heard the music playing. So I went in and had a great dinner and a great time. The whole staff is wonderful, pleasant and very helpful. The vibe is amazing. Now, Ive been back a few times and always a great vibe.

Highly recommend Dominican food restaurant. Lila and Susie are the best server ever.

I had Gabby she had great customer service I will highly Recommend her and also will be looking for her next time I come. Food and drinks was definitely delicious I already found my favorite dish the filet stuffed with crab meat scrumptious.

Stopped for drinks… Ricky definitely knew what he was doing with drinks! Great vibes. Good Music.

This place is super cool! Bethania was great and very attentive. Good music, good drinks, amazing hookah, and great service! What else could youask for when you’re visiting the city that never sleeps?! Will definitely be back! ❣️

If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. Theyre going to racially profile you and kick you out. They denied us entry because my brother looked like a guy who came in there and did god knows what. Weve never even been there before and it ruined our night. They argued us down. We just went else where because they called all security guards like we were trying to fight. And we didnt want to any problems, just a good time. Terrible.

Gabriela was the best tonight for me and my coworkers she was very detailed and very helpful

It was amazing spending time with my friends beautiful place to be have dinner with my family

My colleagues and I went there last night after a celebration. When we got there, we were sat in the back and everything was fine. We got our food and drinks and started dancing. We ordered two big entrees and when no one was paying attention the waitress who is also the supervisor by the way took our food without permission and lied and said we told her to take it. Throughout the night she kept on intimidating us to leave, kept coming to our table saying she was closing our tab even though we had large drinks, and weren’t done by the way and was just snobby and rude. My coworkers were the only black people in the room at that time and I noticed she didn’t bother any other table or complain that they were there for “too long” because there were other people in there way longer than us and spent less money. I wouldn’t waste my time at this place where there’s little space to dance and the service SUCKS.

Great service from. Amelia with hookahs and drinks

Came at night when its a night club. Best vibe, and appears to be a hidden gem. No cover charge. DJ had bomb ass energy. Pitcher of tequila was only 93 bucks. What more could you ask for.

This is a wonderful place to come to. Good food good customer service nice place to bring friends and family. Maria is one of the greatest waitresses they have she’ll help you right away on time, and she always comes to you with a smile on her face.

Great variety of Spanish food, and the price is pretty good for midtown Manhattan. Staff is friendly and helpful. The inside looks a little dated and doesnt really have a cohesive theme going as far as decorations. The food is good, the price is right, and they thank you for your patronage. Good eats.

Bethania is the best!! Very attentive with a great personality!

My girl Ashley hooks us up and we always eat right and have a blast!

Awesome food and atmosphere, especially if you enjoy Hispanic culture. Susie was awesome catering to our needs! Highly recommend this to those who wants good eats and service.

I have been to Cafe Nunez many times. The vibes are always amazing. The food is definitely top tier. The service is also a plus. The waitress, Ashley is always so friendly and helpful. Definitely stop by!

Service is super slow. More than half an hour to get food in an almost empty restaurant.

If you are in Midtown and looking for a great place to eat , drink and chill, Cafe Nunez is open early and closes late. The food is so good that I strongly believe they keep some amazing Dominican Grandmas on staff in that kitchen..Catch the Buffet or order from the menu you can’t loose.The Happy hour menu is pretty dope for Mid-Town.When you do stop buy, Say hello to my Favorite Hostess/Bartender ,Ms. Maria J.She always greats us with a big beautiful smile and is truly passionate about providing us with an amazing customer experience!

Amelia is the best bartender. Walked out with a great experience

Shout out to Amelia...she makes good strong drinks lolCheck her out. 🍻

Steven gave. Excellent service the vibes are amazing and the food is great

Tried to gaslight me into thinking I did not take a bag to coat check. Manager did not help and was condescending telling me I didn’t take a bag there when I know I did. They had me running all over the restaurant thinking I left it somewhere only for them to have put it separately. No one apologized, no one help. HORRIBLE place. HORRIBLE staff. Would not recommend to anyone.

Karla amazing, great attitude very attentive and perfect waitress five star!!!!!!

Amelia was amazing!! Her drinks were so good! Amazing service!!

I’ve been to this place three times and never write a review which is a huge mistake on my behalf. Me and my wife come here strictly for the food, the large punch drink that we share, and to dance I. The night time. The food is amazing which I recommend getting the ceviche! There’s two large drinks but get the more expensive one because it taste good and for 4 people it will last you and your partner the night as long as you’re taking your time drinking because the contents in it will eventually sneak up on you. We go here in the night because that’s when this place turns into a club especially on a Saturday but food is still open until about 11pm which i could be wrong, call and find out. Me and my partner tell our waiter all the time to sit us in the tables closest to dance door/ bar because when we’re eating and drinking we love to dance in between the songs next to our table. Amazing place to come get good food, drinks, and dancing Spanish music. The staff in here have been friendly to us every time. 5 star recommendation

Tried to go for breakfast and they were closed even though it advertised as open. I was there the night before and looked forward to breakfast the following morning. Very disappointing

Clay and Ricky make the environment fun and counting definitely the place to go before the night ends

My waitress Ashley was amazing and she provided great service especially to our million questions! Great place amazing vibes!

Very relaxed/laid back vibe! The bartenders and staff are really nice! Ricky is hardworking and always makes sure his customers have a good time!

Gabriella and Jonathan were amazing. From the beginning they treated us amazing explained everything so well and we enjoyed all the food we ate. We came here looking for some authentic food and were not disappointed. Thank you guys so much.

Great vibes on a Sunday!! Would definitely come back🤝🏾

Worst margarita I have ever had in my life. They offered to remake it and it was worse the second time. People were smoking weed too. Also, the coat check lady was rude. Everyone had their coats hanging by the bar but I had to pay $5 to “coat” check my blazer that wasnt even a coat.

I Come here for lunch on the daily and the service is amazing . Love the food , the music , the servers , especially Amelia She’s my favorite & I love her drinks . I’ll be back soon

If you’re looking for great vibes, great drinks, and just over a good time, then cafe nunez is the spot. They just finished renovating and it looks amazing. One of my boys is the Dj ( IG - djfuerte) and he always has the spot going crazy. Every song he puts on is a hit. Ive been here on dates and also brought my colleagues here and they loved it everytime. If you also love hookah then then they got you covered. Definitely go and check it out.

Love this place! Use to come here when I younger and it’s still popping! Shout out to Ashley for her great service! Drinks are great, food is great and the music is popping!!!

Steven is the greatest thank you for the service and great atmosphere.

Food here is always on point. Didnt really care for the frozen margaritas tasted more like a lemon slushie than alcohol. The service was meh we had to call over the waitresses several times as they seemed to attend to tables that had couples.

Amelia was amazing! She was polite and made the drinks very good. Highly recommend. Thank you Amelia! We’ll definitely come back.
