    I came here last year during the pandemic when only outdoor seating was available. The food was good, but it definitely was even better when I returned. The first time I went we ordered ceviche, corn off the cob, wings and tostones, tallarines verde, and lomo saltado. Everything was really good. This time we ate indoors. They had really fun decor with an Instagrammable sign and Halloween decorations everywhere. The best part of course was the meal though. We started off with a pisco sour Sassy Senorita Margarita which is a cucumber jalapeno margarita. It was actually really good. The flavors meshed well together. We ordered the arepita sliders and the chef recommended the specialty ceviche and chorizo wontons which were both delicious. We also got the lomo saltado and chaufa with shrimp. We ended with the dulce dessert tres leches cake. Great meal, great service. Check it out! Follow me on IG @ms_new_foodie and @msnewfoodie on Tik Tok for more restaurant details!

    This was my second time here and I was really excited because the first time I came the food was delicious. And guess what, it was just as good the second time!! I got the chicken skewers which were so tasty. Sometimes chicken can be dry but this chicken was SO TENDER. We also got drinks which the menu has a nice assortment those were good as well. Usually I'm too full for dessert but I didn't want to miss out so I got churros and flan and they were A+. The interior of the restaurant is super cool and artsy with art on the walls. The tables are a good distance from each other so I had no worries about COVID. The waitresses are super friendly and give great recommendations if you aren't sure what you want to get. I will definitely be back to support Chef Kev!

    Solid spot for brunch if you are in the area. The food is Peruvian inspired but they do have a twist of American classics. The portions are great. The burger was juicy and tasty. The steak and eggs and Lomo breakfast was also tasty.

    Cantina 33 is a hidden gem serving up flavorful Latin eats. I came for happy hour Mon- Thurs 4pm-7pm. Fri 4pm-6pmThe vibes are colorful and cozy, and the drinks? Only $8-$9. I had the Sangrita and Pisco Punch. I got the Cantina Platter, 3 tacos, wings, and chorizo wontons for just $20! I definitely had leftovers. Everything was so good, especially those chipotle wings and the sweet & savory wontons topped with caramelized onions and honey. The carnitas tacos were perfectly satisfying. 10/27/25 Camila the bartender was very knowledgeable of the food and drink menu. She was always smiling and very friendly throughout my whole experience. Definitely coming back for a solo happy hour or with friends. Music was Latin mix and Afrobeats they have four TVs perfect for entertainment.

    After finding Cantina 33 on Instagram, I’m happy I finally made the trip from the Bronx to come try myself! Me and my friend came on a Monday evening and have zero complaints. Service was great, food was delicious, and drinks were strong! Will definitely be back.

    Excellent service, delicious food and cozy environment. Was at bit cold at first but temperature was adjusted eventually. The shrimp tacos were my favorite. The carnitas/chicken tacos could use some more flavor/condiments but enjoyed my experience and had a lovely time. The staff is attentive, kind and quick to bring food/drinks! 100% recommended
