Suggestions for South American Restaurant near Chelsea, New York

Jessica K. • May 28, 2015Wow, my chicken arepa was the best random lunch I've had in a really long time. The arepas here are delicious, soft on the inside, with a delightful crisp on the outside. Can't wait to try others!

Ronny A. • July 14, 2016Best value for your buck in midtown. Salads and bowls with grilled meats on top. Great ambience and music. Highly recommend. Get there before 1 if you dont want to wait.

Candace C. • January 13, 2013The Matador lunch combo is so worth it. Peruvian chicken (you can request white or dark meat) + salad + rice and beans + a beverage is the way to go. And their Peruvian Chinese fried rice is great too

Cory L. • October 28, 2019I love this steak house. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the city! There isn't anything new I can say that hasn't been said before because K Rico Steakhouse is in an institution.

Hanna G. • January 7, 2014Best buffalo mozzarella/ prosciutto combo I have EVER had! TRUE ARGENTINIAN FOOD, I promise! Go for the mixed grill your first time! I LOVE the lobster ravioli/empanadas. No to the chicken/salmon.

Carlos G. J. • September 5, 2011A deadly combination of peruvian cuisine and afro-peruvian jazz LIVE! This is a unique place in the entire east coast! if you come to New York, you MUST visit Tutuma!

Kimmie O. • August 14, 2020Get the chirp chicken sandwich! It’s their delicious rotisserie chicken, sweet plantains, lettuce, tomato & green sauce on soft yet crusty bread.

Kino • December 28, 2012The Rotisserie Chicken ($10 for a whole), Ceviche Mixto, & Jalea are delicious and can easily feed 4 to 6 people. Use the ceviche juice (Leche de Tigre aka Milk of the Tiger) for the Jalea.

Joanie J. • March 30, 2011Open the window, it gets hot in here!

Cheen T. • August 4, 2022Cocktails. Enjoyed their concoctions here including Chamuyo ($16, pictured), a citrus vodka-based drink, with bitters & orange & grapefruit juices. Wished it was stronger 😬

Lily • December 9, 2019NYT Critic's Pick *** (11/2019): "Rice noodles with mushrooms and seaweed; scallop ceviche; hamachi tiradito; lobster and beef heart; duck breast nigiri; chicken thigh, ají amarillo and walnuts."

John E. • January 22, 2015As authentic a churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) as you can find in NY. Save room for the picanha and bacon wrapped filet, and wash them down with authentic caipirinhas / caipiroskas.

Andrew W. • December 11, 2017Stunning food and wine, warm-from-the-very-first-moment hospitality, and charmingly intimate spaces have made Chimichurri Grill one of our favorites in NYC, and one of our top five anywhere.

Clare M. • April 1, 2021I’ve been here twice and everything my friend and I have tried has been excellent! The service is fantastic and the food well priced. Highly recommend eating here. Get the sangria 1/2 pitcher!

Randall N. • September 16, 2016One of the best rodízio (all-you-can-eat) style churrascaria's (BBQ) joints in the city!

dara lynne • January 18, 2010The pao de queijo are my favorite.

Mark B. • December 21, 2010If you like meat dishes try either the Churasco Oswaldo Aranha or the Feijoada Completa - delicious. The bartender makes a great caipirinha. Great staff, nice atmosphere a real find in midtown

Beril E. • December 29, 2017Great Tribeca find -one of the few solid Argentinian spots in the city. Eat what Argentines create best, which is steak, steak, and of course more steak. Amazing location for a work meeting or date.

Ambreen M. • August 18, 2017If you're looking for a carb-free meal (or just incredible food), start with the burrata and ensalada verde. The carnes are all promising as well.

Georgie C. • May 20, 2015Best Peruvian food in the area. The price is awesome for what you get.
