The best new hot spot!!! – I went to macondo as soon as they openned and sure enough the place was packed. The ambience is trendy charming and well put together. You'll often run into celebrities, on one night I sat next to Kevin Spacey, and I went again and the miss universe was there with a party of 20 beatiful girls. The tapas are amazing ( I recommend the "Buenos Aires coca) Im definetely taking everyone i know to Macondo. This place is happening!!!!!
Best tapas place in Town!!!!!!!!! – Fastastic tapas!!!!! And the avocado mezcal smoothie is worth the trip alone! Great place to relax and unwind with friends while enjoying delicious food and friedly staff. I highly recommend for large parties.
The best thing that has happend to the LES – I recently went to Macondo with a party of 5 and we had such a wonderful time! the food is portioned perfectly for sharing, thoughtfully presented and of course delicious! The arepas are specially flavourful, Try the "willianco", our favorite! Our waitress, Meredith, was not only fun and friendly but she was very knowledgeble about the menu. The cocktail menu is absolutely amazing, fresh and innovative. We pretty much tried everything one the menu and our favorite was the tequila+... read more
Not great at all – I went here with a bunch of friends last night. Our drink order was incorrect multiple times, and the food was in very small portions. I left hungry and annoyed.
My favorite little neighbourhood restaurant/bar – I went there with a few friends the other day and had a total blast. I love the concept of Macondo..there is a permanent atmosphere of celebration there. The same chef as Rayuela . I was not disapppointed by the food. Great crazy drink selection as well. There is a room in the back with cool lighting and ivy - great place to have a party there. The kitchen is open - so you can be entertained by the activities of the chef and kitchen staff. Macondo is best described as you fav... read more
Totally Cool!!! Street food in a cool restaurant!!! Great food!! Interesting great drinks!!! Great Ambiance!!! – Waow - The day I was there - I saw Kevin Spacey!!! Totally Cool!!! I love the idea of this place - Street food gourmet style!!! You definitely feel like you are celebrating something there!!! The ambiance is kicking. You have to try the bacalaitos, the shrimp chorizo, the crispy oysters..Try the avocado drink - I know it sounds weird but it is soo good!!! Also the tamarind drink!!
Very disappointed – I was very excited to try this new restaurant, but unfortunately was extremely disappointed. First of all it was about 100 degrees inside -- we were seated at the front of the restaurant where there is a large window that opens onto the street, but, sadly this is not a great idea when it's 100 degrees outside. We asked to sit in the back, but it was full. The food was very average. We ordered the lamb tacos, vegetarian arepas (completely tasteless), patatas brava -- but the rest of our order was forgotten... read more
WOW You have to check this place out – I honestly could not believe how amazing everything was. I walked into this place off the street and instantly felt like I left Manhattan. The waiter told me that my first two choices werent on the menu which I was bummed out about...at first. I ordered the Lamb tacos, Arepa willianco, and a ceviche that I cant remember the name of instead. My boyfriend let the waiter decide what to get him. (Yucca fries, Buenos Aires coca and pork tacos) Everything came as it was made...It was like a p... read more
First week jitters – I've never been moved to write a review, but Macondo should be avoided at least for now. Our waitress came by 3 times to take our orders, and when she did it was wrong each time. The food was ok. Our table ordered the Columbian flat bread but the chorizo failed to deliver. Their 'plaintain' appetizer tasted more like chick peas. Junior Merino is the mixologist but the drinks were tasteless. Our group had to send back a few drinks because they were horrible. Perhaps in a few months this place will get it ... read more
