Andrew LaVallee: Coconut, creme brulee, carrot cake, tres leche, heck, even the vanilla one is awesome.
New York Habitat: The city's best donuts are at this LES establishment. Get there early to get them when they're hot right out of the oven! Try the Tres Leches and Crème Brûlée, they're fantastic!
Serious Eats: The shop that started the fancy doughnut craze in New York, it's still turning out some of our favorites. Try the creme brulee, tres leches, or peanut butter and jelly.

Mishell: Best Dulce de Tres Leche there is NYC!!!! Delicious...
David Berkowitz: Try the tres leches - This tres leches cake is so good, you'll swear there are seis leches in it. Really, leave room for dessert, or just skip dinner entirely and get this.

Karthik Balasubramanian: Huge portions, great food! Don't forget to try the tres leches!
Adam Mendala: Too many good things to pick from, but the Camarones Cusco (shrimp) is amazing. Tuna Tartare is a must get. I always end with tres leches cake.
Nicole: Gluten free macaroons in flavors like tres leches and salted caramel dipped in chocolate! Also mason jar flan and cheesecakes in addition to cupcakes. Get the creme brulee and tiramisu cupcakes.
Kimmie Ohh: The scrumptious cupcakes look beautiful & taste amazing. They add some Latino flavor to their desserts - lots of tres leches options (cupcakes, cakes, macaroons), alfajores, brigadeiros & flan 😍
Lenny Gallo: Surprisingly amazing cupcakes. Try the Carrot Cake.

Gilt City: Many of the dishes at Victor’s are still made with old family recipes. Some of the highlights: succulent lobster empanadas, chicken skewers with spicy mango sauce and sweet tres leches cake.
Anna de Jesus: ropa vieja and Lechon were great. Lechon had a nice piece of crispy skin. Not greasy at all. Instead of bread they have plantain chips. Excellent. Tres leches to die for.
Ms Helene: Ceviche with snapper, mango and avocado $16, salmon with pineapple salsa and corn purée. Skip tres leches.

José L. Rodriguez: The rotisserie chicken is by far the best in the city. Another item not to be missed is the Tres Leches dessert. It is so good you'll flip after tasting it.
