Guacuco Bed-stuy

We were visiting New York on a Family trip and although we don’t usually go for our traditional food during our vacations, we heard too many good things about this place. The food was definitely great, but the staff make everything else better. Our waitress explained all the details on food and drinks, and she literally explained us all the places we should visit while in NYC and most of all the ones our kids would enjoy. Will definitely come back!!!!

I’m writing a review for this place even though I haven’t been there since 2020 when I moved away, but this is the most delicious restaurant in the neighborhood, by far. I dream about it at least once a week. The meats are so tender and juicy, their house-made sauces are unmatched. It is an amazing spot for a filling meal made with love. You can tell that the owners and cooks really care what they do and have a passion for sharing their food and culture with the neighborhood. Please eat here and keep it in business for when I’m able to visit again!

I am on a journey to find the best cachapas in NYC and I didn’t expect to find the best cachapas of MY LIFE. 10/10 literally crying every second I’m not eating these cachapas. The dough is perfectly cooked and it has a good flavor and they do use Venezuelan cheese which some other places just use mozzarella. Their papelon con limon was mundial! The cocada was okay it was decent and the tres in uno was delish as well. Highly recommend getting cachapas here, best place in nyc so far out of the 6 restaurants and food trucks I’ve been to.

Loved this place. The staff was friendly. The food was so flavorful and fresh. I ordered the vegetarian empanada which had cheese, beans, & plantain inside. It was a good size and very filling. The empanada dough had a sweet tang to it. I also ordered the pulled pork arepa and that was a hit as well! As for drinks: I ordered a passion fruit mimosa and it came with a popsicle inside of it. The taste wasn’t my favorite but I tried another drink: this coconut & rum frosty type drink and it was so good but it’s strong 😝 - I would highly recommend. And you don’t need a reservation, just walk right in!
