Huertas

Just love everything about this place! Delicious food, great service and the best tinto de verano I had in NY. Awesome!

Solid place to go for Spanish style tapas. Everything we ordered was delicious. Alongside the well prepared small plates, the cocktails were also quite nice. The interior is also well designed and suitable for casual and nicer meals

Too busy eating to take photos! Dark, intimate and cosy table at the back for 6 of us. Waitress was excellent and in moments we’d agreed on the chef’s suggestion of sharing plates for 6. Excellent food - Mexican/Asian with a gourmet twist on homely. Wine list was well-rounded and not gouging on the pricing front. 800 bucks for 6 chef’s meals and 3 bottles of Spanish Rioja. Good soundtrack that was 80s/90s and not too loud. An excellent casual addition to that part of town.

The food and the service were really good. Everything we had was delicious and quite authentic. They also serve basque cider ! Nice cozy place in a friendly neighbourhood. Food : ***** Ambiance : **** Service : **** Price : ***

This is a review of the even by Tasting Collective that we attended. It was a 10-course brunch, created especially for this event (they don't usually serve brunch). The inside was really nice and warm, with lots and lots of wood used throughout. Even the sign outside had wood. The left side was exposed red brick wall, beautiful and brings out the rick history behind it. The inside is long but not so narrow. I liked how the tables are set in a way that they are more spacious than most other restaurants in Manhattan. Right behind these counters is a huge, beautiful, wooden bar, fully stacked. They have counter seating and tables seating up front, and booth seating in back, next to kitchen. After the booth and kitchen, they have a bigger room with more table seating. During this 10-course brunch, I got to taste: Citrus and Cream Torrijas, Green Garlic Tortilla Española, Jamón Croquetas, Little Gem Salad, Marinated Mushrooms, Membrillo and Idiazabal Toasts, Octopus and Shishito Pepper Skewers, Pimentón Bacon and Pea Migas, Piquillo Rellenos, Smoked Pork Fat Potatoes. I had an amazing brunch here at Huertas, thanks to the chef, staff, and of course, Tasting Collective. I would love to go back for more of their high quality, tasty food. One thing I learned about this restaurant is that they use “Hospitality Included” structure, meaning, no tips required. Therefore, their staffs are treated equally and fairy, and they have more connection to the restaurant and it’s success. It is good to know your server is not working to get your tip, but they are working to do their best, without any concern for tips. I really like and support that! This is a great spot to have an amazing, high quality meal to share with your loved ones, in very comforting, relaxing atmosphere. I can already think of several people to bring with us for our future visits…! Read my full review of this restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

Everything was excellent, but I we did find the octopus a little bit bland. In addition, the mackerel was literally out of a can, so also a bit blend. Great service and a comfy restaurant in the LES. Wise to make a reservation. Also, as most tapas restaurants, it does get expensive.
