Best Latin American Spanish Restaurants in Cypress Hills

It's wonderful to see how they bring the culture of a country to each dish. The best hallaca and pan de jamón. I loved!!

Close to perfect… a group of us were able to get a nice table, last minute, at Kantu after friends recommended it. The clean decor pulls off a modern and welcoming feel, but it was the attentive staff, great food and drinks that left us feeling like we need to go back. We shared empanadas and tostones, then enjoyed quality ceviche or fish soup - all yummy. A few rounds of pisco sours and sangria brought the tab to $90pp but without alcohol prices are reasonable for the fresh, high quality seafood we enjoyed. Recommend

We were the first in the restaurant at 12 noon, Thursday reservations with just one person at the bar. Greeted warmly upon arrival and seated immediately and menus were brought. Food didn't take long to come and everything was tasteful and enjoyed and prices were very reasonable. Everything went great except for a very minor issue: the meat portions were great but the small portion of rice was eaten much more quickly before the meat could be. I'd suggest a proportionate amount of rice to go with the meat and beans. After all this is a Latin restaurant; perhaps, give the option since many are on diets and cut back on carbohydrates. PS What's also good is that the waitress alerts you that the tip is included in the final bill without you having to ask, that was a nice little touch.

The music is so loud, it's almost impossible to hear what anyone else is saying

The food was borderline good to very good. The ceviche, anticohos, and lomo were very good. The jalea was mostly fried calamari and had very little fish and shrimp. the huaicaina sauce was mediocre and could use improvement. The pisco sours were good but could use more pisco. The service was great and the ambience in the back is comfortable and not too loud. I recommend this place overall.
