La Macarena

Love the decor and atmosphere. Food was great and especially the drinks. The staff friendly. Everything was clean. The restaurant turns into a nightclub that stays open until 4am everyday. For the Time Square area restaurant , I personally think it has reasonable prices.

Did not go here during the restaurant hours. I arrived here after midnight during the Nightclub hours. Something I immediately noticed is that the staff can be a bit more friendly towards non-Latina/a people coming there. The female bouncer, had a a horrible attitude. She is very rude, and she speaks Spanish to everyone even if they speak to her in English, this is TIMES SQUARE not Washington Heights. The 2 ladies taking entry fee payments were not very friendly either. The rest of the bouncers were cool and the drinks were good. Would probably come back here again for the restaurant vibes and the food, but not during the Nightclub hours. Too ghetto for me.

I recently visited this restaurant on a Sunday, expecting a pleasant experience as usual. However, I was surprised to be charged a $20 cover fee, which is not typically applied on Sundays. The restaurant was nearly empty, and during the time I waited outside, I saw at least 15 people leave because of the unexpected cover charge. This was disappointing and not in line with my past experiences here. I hope management reconsiders this policy to avoid deterring loyal customers.

I came out of work and this place is really a vibe, Chris the bartender got me right. Come here get some food, hookah and dance until your feet hurt!! Service is on point and the staff carry these tables to expedite the order/pay process.

We made reservations for dinner and our experience was amazing. J. Jara took care of us and he really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The food was delicious and the presentation was great. The drinks were exquisite too. I truly recommend this restaurant.

Night life bar is okay, music is your typical radio Latin hits.Bouncers overcharge cover.If ya try to reclaim, same gender bouncer will take make you leave. Miguel and Miguelita is what they go by. The 3rd tall bouncer will pocket the cover entries, in other words Don’t pay a bouncer. Bouncers are the ones who make the calls so that’s discouraging and bias to make a nightlife fun because you gotta be on their “good side”.

Food and Service were good.Our appetizer of Octopus was a huge dish that could have been a meal by itselfChilean Seabass was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Quinoa with bacon was delicious even though I dont like Quinoa.Bandeja Paisa was tasty. I mostly ordered for the Morcilla, which was really good. The Beans were outstanding!

Went late at night on a Wed and it was popping! Felt like I was at a club in Washington Heights. Lots of good Spanish dancing music and good vibes. Service was great here too. We got a bottle and our server was always checking in. The dj made sure to mix all kinds of music but definitely heavy on the salsa bachata and hiphop

This place was a great experience. We had Lina, the bartender who took care of us and she was great. The vibe was nice and music was good. We didn’t have food but the drinks were good. 10/10 recommend!

I think this place was really good, drinks were great, the music was great I will definitely go back to this place. Service was amazing

Every item my friend and I tried was delicious. We loved the food and service so much, after dinner we returned the next day for lunch.Omar is an excellent server. Request him if you stop by.

Stopped by after being part of the nightmare at the ball drop. Had promised my self to never return to New York.Until we randomely found this place on our way back to the hotel completely disappointed on the ball drop celebration and New York. This place made our trip and is now a must if I ever return to New York. Great drinks AWSOME food!!! Great customer service what a great restaurant.

I went last week, nice confortable place, funny personnel i felt very safe, the security very polite guy but dirty screen me like i was gonna take a plane 🤣, drinks on point, the octopus appetizer Yum! But the pulpo needs to be more soft please, tostones burguers were salty but good, nice music cute ladies, they close at 4, only thing they must fix is the air conditioner

I attended a friends birthday brunch on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was great, and the servers were on top of their game. Drinks never went to the bottom of the picture. Food was well seasoned and tasting. The DJ had all the attendees either singing along at their seat or dancing. I have to admit I wasnt expecting it when I walked in but walked out feeling good. Would go back again.

Went there for a night out with friends. We had a good time! Drinks are expensive because of the location, but the party atmosphere’s here!

I didnt have food, but the music was on point, and the atmosphere was great.

One of the best places in NYC 🤩 we stayed at the hotel next to it and discovered the place by coincidence. Such a shame we only enjoyed one night there. The bartenders are AMAZING. We had a little issue and they didn’t hesitate to help us. Big shout out to Pepe, Khris & Julian 😊 The music, the place.. 😍 loveeeeeeed it!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! AGAIN STAY AWAYWe went last week We wanted a Latin spot. It was cash only, $10 entrance and $5 coat check. You CAN NOT go if you do not want to check your coat. Then they started letting people in with the coats. When my friend, the nicest girl in the world came up to ask why she had to pay and the others did not. The security guard flat out kicked her a few times pushed her and then did not let her in. When we went up to ask why this has happened we were threaten in a very latino macho way and made fun of us (what you cant pay 5 bucks) it was not about that it was about the principle that some had to pay and some did not with no explanation at all. These people are low lifes and there are way better places to go. STAY AWAY and do not associate this place with Colombians. We are not like the owners of this place.

Okay so I went into this place and although it was a Tuesday and i was with my boyfriend. It wasn’t really packed with people which is understandable and appreciated lol but the drinks were so good. My boyfriend had bbq wings which he said were amazing and he’s picky. Lol The music was perfect. The place is small but really nice. Service is awesome!!! Thanks I’ll be bringing my girls here soon👏🏽

From a user online:“my drink was spiked at La Macarena. My bag with important items is missing.” BE WARY OF THIS PLACE!!! USER WAS ASSAULTED SHORTLY AFTER NEGLIGENCE OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

I have come to this place many times throughout the year they have not been charging the entrance fee every time I go I always spend more than $500 dollars but now it turns out that they charge $10 dollars the entrance fee and many times the security wants to charge up to $20 cash and it is the staff new security system, the previous ones did not do that. I recommend another bar nearby, very cheap, good music and always very friendly people. The Mean Fiddler

Great service, we got the Pulpo al Caribe and it was amazing. We also tried the pájaro loco drink 10/10 very sweet tho

Visiting from Florida and we just happened to stop a little apprehensive because I was unfamiliar with the pairings of the food on the brunch menu…. but omg the food was 💣.com GOOD ASFFFFFF. 10/10

We were visiting from New Mexico and we had so many options on night clubs. We were going to go to “somewhere nowhere” but the cover charge was ridiculous and the guy upfront super rude. Then we went to marquee but we bought tickets for the wrong date. We finally went to Macarena and the atmosphere and vibes were super cool. Everyone was super nice there. We had a great time!

$20 bucks for cover ?? Always they want to charge if that is true please the manager can confirm that? Or theyre security guys or the girls in the entrance are making extra money for themselves

My first time going this past Saturday and it was alright, but got a little confused at a point. Got there with friends around 10pm and we had a table. At some point during the night, one of the employees came to our table and told us we had to either purchase a bottle for the table wed been sitting in for a good while or get out of the section and let another group use our table.I understand that its a business, trying to sell bottle service, but we werent warned or anything prior to this happening. We were there to celebrate my friends birthday, thankfully she didnt mind standing the rest of the night but my group agreed that it was a big downer for that to happen. We were smoking hookah and still had tabs open (and actually consumed constantly) so it wasnt like we were taking up space without contributing.I am willing to go back but now I know to not go for a table at this place, Im better off at the bar and not have to suffer embarrassment or inconvenience my friends when inviting them out.

Awesome food, great drinks, and fantastic wait staff!! So glad we found the only COLUMBIAN restaurant in the theater district!

Music and cocktails are great! But they do need to update their site with the promotions.

My experience at La Macarena was nothing short of incredible. I reserved a table for 15 for my birthday and they offered very affordable pricing for their bottle service which comes with appetizers, the bottles and your choice of mixers. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, and genuinely interested in you having a great experience at their restaurant. Specifically Christian, who was a pleasure to meet and speak with was so positive and reassuring.On the night of my birthday I had an absolute blast. After 10, the DJ comes in and was amazing, playing a wide selection of Hip Hop, throwbacks and predominately Spanish music. It truly is a party atmosphere after 10PM!! If you’re looking to have a party night… go to La Macarena on a weekends! Start out with some food and socializing until the real party starts after 10. FIVE stars hands down. I will be back soon for their brunch!

This review is solely based on their late night hours when it turns into a lounge with music and a dancing area. It was a complete hotbox, no proper ventilation system in place. We began sweating the second we stepped inside. Not worth coming back until they fix the issue. Slow service at the bar but it’s to be expected when you’re in midtown.Besides that, some pros were that the music was good and no cover at the door.

Went to NYC for Thanksgiving weekend. We wanted a Latin spot. We stumbled upon this place that was playing bad bunny. It was cash only, $10 entrance and $5 coat check. Your coat had to be a big coat, others were fine. We ordered hookah it was $40 cash. We asked for a bottle of guaro, and the server said it was $230 for the bottle, we settled for water. The DJ playlist was horrible. We were very disappointed when he started playing EDM music.

Don’t go alone if you’re a girl. One of my friends got drugged here. They put a LOT of smoke to the point you can’t see nobody around you.

This place really sucked, a group of us went there around 9ish pm on a Friday night and we have a table with drinks and Hooka, keep in mind we were still ordering drinks and was eventually going to order food then out of no were they come and give us the bill to pay basically kicking us out of the table we were sitting in, what business conducts that kind of service!!!! I’ll never be going to this over rated place!!!

This establishment engages in unethical business practices, where servers and bartenders often substitute items on your order to increase the bill. Unfortunately, they dont provide itemized receipts and insist on using the Toast system for payment. Additionally, addressing this dishonest behavior with the management yields no credit or resolution.

Music was good. Its a fun place.

Food and drinks were ok but only because of happy hour prices. Service was really terrible- took 10 minutes to get our order taken even though we were pretty much alone in the restaurant and 20 minutes to get our drinks and 35 to get our appetizers- despite multiple requests. The waitress and bartender seemed more interested in communing with local friends than serving paying customers. Not great for a restaurant in the middle of the theater district. A shame since last year my son and I had a great experience. Seems like the restaurant has lost a few steps.

Awesome food, great service and nice ambience !

Well we came and had a birthday and fist off hookah wasn’t pulling the correct way and after we sat for over 45 min nobody ever came to askIf we needed anything including water ! Most of all we ask to play different mucus and all they played was reggae who said we was Jamaicans just a mess food was good and most of all Andrew was the best he tried to make sure we was ok but overall I didn’t like the experience for first time on a birthday occasion and won’t return again!

I’ve been here twice and every time they try to charge me triple. Last time I was there with my friend they charged us for 4 hookahs when we only asked for one. Prior to that they tried to charge us a 700$ bill when we only had 4 drinks. They try to take advantage of drunk people’s wallets.

(At night) I felt like in Colombia, the environment is great. They play the best music, it is not always the same like reggaeton or cumbia, it is very “crossover”. They like to change music and you will not get bored. I went with an American and Iranian friends, they LOVED it.

So I was bought by the good reviews that I read prior to going but now I question these reviews because my experience was the complete opposite.I decided to celebrate my bday here for Sunday brunch. I called Friday evening and made a reservation for a party of 7 under my name. The gentleman even took down my number. The day of I call them to let them know some of my party will be running late. The gentleman asks me for my reservation name and confirms that it’ll be ok. When my party gets there they tell us they don’t have a reservation under my name when I had just called earlier that day smh but luckily they were still able to sit us (fail #1)Then we order our food plus the bottomless mimosas. The waiter brings out the pitcher of mimosas with no glasses and then takes a good 20 mins to bring the glasses. (Fail #2) bottomless mimosas are timed.They also messed up our food order and the presentation of the food wasn’t consistent for the same dish. Some red velvet waffles were presented with sugar and strawberries. The rest didn’t have any. (fail #3)My friend brought a cake for them to bring out to cut for us. Which she had spoken to someone prior who let her know it was ok to do so. When she got there the cake was taken to the back. After the 2 hours pass, waiter tells us we have to go because there was another reservation coming in. Mind you, some of us were still eating and drinking and my cake wasn’t even brought out. We were being rushed out.Overall, The service was horrible. Food was mediocre and mimosas were premade in a pitcher, which causes it to lose flavor and bubbles. We spoke to the “manager” after being fed up with all the errors that were happening. Not only did it take for us to ask multiple times for a manager for him to actually show face but he had a idc attitude lol what a joke. We disputed 20% gratuity that’s automatically added on the bill because it wasn’t well earned. After 30 minutes of going back and forth the manager finally decided to remove it.Long story short, I wouldn’t recommend, especially not for a bday celebration and definitely not for brunch. Maybe an OK place for just drinks and hookah when other places are not available, but besides that I wouldn’t recommend. Spend your money else where.

I didnt get a chance to experience the food but everything else is a little pricey for what it is. The hookah is great and the bartender was very kind but the server for the table was so bad that I felt the need to walk to the bar instead of waiting for him to come. The location is beautiful and very spacious so feeling squished is almost impossible!

Been to this place a few times, food is tasty. Probably the last visit though, food is good but not worth the bad service experience. Came with with family (party of 4) early since it does get very busy at night, we sat and saw the server twice, to order drinks and drinks being brought. Ordered the food at the bar since server did not return ti our table, bar tender was nice and seemed to feel bad for us, eventually food came, waited another 15 minutes to see someone to ask for silverware. The very disgruntled server came drop plates and silverware he was not seen again. There was a lady walking around who had to have seen empty drink glasses at the table and no server around, but she also didn’t check on us. Suffice it to say, the previews 2 visits while not as bad, were not as good as the first couple of visits and in a city full of options, we will simply go elsewhere. It truly isn’t an exaggeration when I say, this is the the top 5 worst service experiences I’ve had. So long La Macarena.

Goodness. I don’t think we’ve ever had such a horrendous experience at a restaurant. Service was just awful. Getting our waiter’s attention felt like mission impossible. The meals took almost an hour to come out. Only one of the six of us enjoyed our meal. Lobster tails were rubbery, Mac n cheese was described as “watery”, sea bass was overcooked, the bacon in the quinoa was RAW, no salt or seasoning on anything and no salt and pepper on the tables to help us. Music was so loud that we couldn’t even hear each other as we screamed. I can’t believe we spent $300 at this place. I also can’t believe how packed it was. The table next to us sent back almost all of their food. Clearly we weren’t the only ones with issues and somehow, the place had a lot of people. I would recommend steering clear of this place.

On Friday September 1st I went to this club. I was on line waiting to get in and I was with my friends. The security guard named Recardo checked my ID and then asked me if I’m pregnant. I was in shock because I have never been asked that. He tells me this is part of his job. But he doesn’t ask my friend because of course she is skinner than me. I asked the other two security (which was Jonjon and Lisa) if they suppose to ask that and they said no, they were very sweet too. He proceeds to come up to me and then say can I speak to you and I said ok. He says that this is part of his job and I asked why didn’t you ask my friend and he says because he thought I was pregnant and I said is it because I’m bigger and he said yes. I asked to speak to the manager named Andrew and he was very sweet. Andrew understood. Recardo was just very nasty and he kept trying to defend himself, he didn’t even give me a proper apology.

Excellent attention, food was awesome. Family ambiance.We order the chicken wings as appetizer plain they were juicy and crunchy on the out used their side sauces were on the dot. The chicken with mushrooms sauce was excellent the sauce was the best I ever had before, there is nothing better; the Passion Fruit Margaritas and the beer selección where among the best of the best in the area.

Security sucks they try to extort people for money before entrance

Bad bar experience. I went there with some friends on a Saturday night. My friends wanted some drinks from the bar . We all went to the bar which was 4 of us. I told the bartender I wanted 2 margaritas and 1 mojito. I even showed him on his tablet the drinks and with my fingers I showed him the number of how many drinks we wanted just in case he didn’t hear me. At the end I told him separate checks but he said no which I don’t know the reason why he refused. I didn’t mind , but then he just left so with his attitude that he was already kinda giving I wasn’t sure if he was going to make my drinks. We waited a little and nothing . My friend went to the other side of the bar to ask for drinks since we weren’t sure . Once my friend came back with 2 drinks she bought the bartender showed up too with the original drinks and an extra mojito I never asked for. He saw me already with a drink on my hand and made a face. Since I asked him already I was going to take the drinks and pay but I told him and move the extra mojito away since I never asked for that one. He got upset . Don’t know why and just took all the drinks away. We were missing one drink and felt bad for my friend, so I also went to the other side to get my friend his margarita with another bartender, but once I got there the original bartender whispered something to that bartender. He just looked at me on turn around and was with another customer . Obviously this made me feel he wasn’t going to take my survey because of the other bartender. I left the bar because I was not going to waste my money with those bartenders. I understand is busy , I never made a problem when he said no to giving us different checks for the drinks , and I wasn’t going to refuse the drinks I original order since I already order them. I was only refusing the extra mojito I never asked for. The bartenders need to give better customer service. The first bartender had color eyes and black hair . Their names I think are Anthony and Chris

Came to this place for the reviews I read but I was disappointed.Server never check on us, he was just smoking hookah all night with his coworkers and on his phone.Food wasn’t the best, you can get better tacos somewhere else ( tacos is what I ordered)Music, for been a Latin club/restaurant they played 3 songs in Spanish.The big problem was the server, not even eye contact once. Spent too much money for nothing.

Had such a fun time here!! The staff was friendly, even the security guard!! He was our favorite for sure. Music was AMAZING, they had a live DJ that played everything, mostly Spanish music. The venue was also very clean and esthetically pleasing!! It’s a cute go out with friends/gno type of environment loved it!!!

Great if youre Colombian i guess. Small place and way too crowded. Drinks are insanely overpriced for a basic dance bar. After 1am, it smells like sweat and hookah.

It was great food and great atmosphere

The food was delicious and this place has amazing hospitality!! Definitely recommend the chicharon it’s amazing!!

The appetizer we ordered was good (Wagu burger on Totones). We ordered the bandeja and weve definitely had better. Atmosphere was nice and music was good. Seems like a nice place for happy hour but not for dinner.

Making reservations at this place was super easy and they put alot of effort into making it a great experience for all off us there.

My first time here and I have to say....I had a blast. My cousins and I came for a birthday brunch for one of the cousins and she is hard to please and she had fun also lol. The music was bumping coming into the establishment, getting you in the mood asap. The Dj was on point, playing a variety of music for everyone.The mimosas was better then some other places. It tasted like they made it with a Moscato instead of the everyday brute champagne (but I could be wrong).Sadly I was unenthusiastic about the food I had. I did the pan seared salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Ill give it to them the salmon and moist but flavorless, along with the potatoes (Id give it another try but will see).I know your probably wondering why I gave 5 stars after thy above and thats because of the manager Cindy and our waiter Peepi (hope I spelled it right). They were so attentive and helpful. I couldnt have asked for better service on a Sunday that also happened to be Superbowl Sunday.

I went for the first time yesterday and I’ll definitely come back, atmosphere was cool, the drinks were really great and the attention was 10/10 with Juan, nice guy! Amazing all around!

I was staying at the hotel connected to this bar as a tourist with a BIG PERSONALITY and the bouncer rejected me because he assumed I was intoxicated…. The club was completely empty and I was not intoxicated. Great job at running away tourists with money. I will let everyone know that the bouncer at this establishment is on a power trip and is a liability.

This place was lit and prices are reasonable, will definitely go back.

This place needs some work.Dim the lights. Food was not great not even good 😕Get into sports if you want to be a sports bar. Needs a better happy hour menu and cocktail options, better appetizers.Cocktails are way too fruity.

One of the best experiences I’ve had not only in the Times Square area but in general in NYC. My husband and I had a matinée around the corner and hadn’t eaten yet so we popped in here. The employees treat you like family, so kind, so attentive. Laid back but classier atmosphere. Overall, a really really fantastic choice for anyone in the area.The food was out of this world. Will be coming back regardless if we have a show!

The server tonight 7/26/22 was not prepared for the rush that came his way. Which lead to people walking out on their check and longer than expected waits. We have been waiting over an hour just for drinks and appetizers. Not a great experience and definitely not worth the hype today.

Dj was great and the bartender was really friendly. There was no cover on a Mondays and they give you free hookah with 2 drink minimum (but the quality is low.) I would come back to try the Colombian food.

La Macarena is the kind of place where they make you feel like you are at home. Great staff, great food and great drinks. Love it!

This place deserves a Sunday brunch visit. Great DJ and atmosphere. Dont miss out on a good time.

Lucky to have picked a hotel right next door - great atmosphere in this place. Hookah, live DJ, disco lights, and the drinks were great. Was also pleasantly surprised about the food in what I thought was a bar-first kind of place! Great experience.

Vibe is nice but it was rushed as soon as sitting down. We made a reservation a month ago and they canceled the night before claiming the promoter canceled “last minute reservations” food was good however but was very rushed as soon as we sat they claimed that they will be getting busy so put in orders now. I will not be returning if I am spending my money I want to enjoy my meal and the environment and I could not do that here. I will not be returning.

They’re nice with Latin people but one of the security guy are ASIANPHOBIC that is not Fair, is SO SAD and terrible!!! I been here before and when I came with my Asian friend they act completely different, wow!! Unbelievable

Another place ruined by tik tok. This place used to be the only legit Colombian spot in the area with good music, food, chill vibes, drinks, hookah y todo. We used to go here anytime on the weekend and always get a table, the employees used to be so kind and cool, the food and drinks used to be delicious. Sad to say.. it’s lost it’s touch, very gentrified now since the crowd has started rushing it. The attitudes of the workers are so 👎now (probably overworked), the food isn’t as good, nor the drinks, everything feels rushed. Went on a Friday and it was a whole different vibe now. Couldn’t get a seat even at the bar and it was full of the very young yuppie crowd. Sigh, I rly used to love it here.

For the nightclub hours, they have a dress code but its not listed anywhere on the website. So its whatever the bouncer at the door decides for the night, be ready to be turned away

La Macarena is Dope AF!!!! From the atmosphere to the prices and quality of food is amazing! However I must add that the BEST part of La Macarena is the service and no one shined brighter than LINA!!! Beautiful both inside and out, she took care of me and my lady to the utmost…We felt like Lina was a long time friend with her personable attitude and excellent attention to detail! Definitely recommend La Macarena is awesome and if you stop by ask for Lina!!!! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

The vibe is cool, but the food could be better!!!

Hooka guy don’t leave you in peace, oh god

1 hour and15 min for 2 apps. One server working the whole place. Stopped in for quick a drink and apps and ended up being there for way too long. Ive been tonthis place several times and dont recommend if you have anything to do.Service is not something that is a focus for this place

Ive been to two parties in a row and I really dont know what happened to the air conditioning and the heat its infernal they should fix it since its a good place to party

I literally got kicked out cause I was wearing a crop top/ having in mind that it’s literally a block away from Hell’s Kitchen. RIDICULOUS lol !! The security guard was rude telling me that the owners said I had to “cover” my self when my girlfriends were literally using only a mint crop top. Homofobic? Wacky place !!!!

Amazing experience!! Planned a friend’s birthday party here and everything went absolutely perfect! My party of 30 all had rave reviews about how everything went. Ask for the manager Cristian for events - he’s sure to work with you on finalizing all details so that your big event day goes better than you could’ve ever dreamt. The business is entirely POC, latinx, and LGBTQ+ friendly!

It was a 10 out of 10 experience. I came by with one of my friends after work and all I can say is that I am coming back for more.

The food was really better than I thought, glad I had the chance to come, will come back any time.

This place is lit right in time square best services would recommend if you’re out here trying to have a good time

Nah let me tell you!!!It was my friend birthday, she made reservations . We get there, the host sits us and for 30 minutes we just sit there. No one. LITERALLY NO ONE CAME TO CHECK ON US!!!!! While everyone else there was getting service. We just walked out. The worse never again!!! What’s funny is that there was waiters all around 🤷🏽‍♀️

A great experience! A beautiful space everything is so detailed a nice ambience! Tasty food, delicious drinks with incredible music! The staff is helpful and friendly! Highly recommend this place for a fun night out in the city!

This place is racist. They discriminate against African Americans in the year 2022. The bouncer at the door told me friends and I that we could not enter the establishment because we were wearing sandals. However MANY Hispanic women in the establishment had sandals on. Who isn’t wearing sandals in the summer?!? Never returning.

I’ll give it a four . Went on a Friday night and I’m sorry , the dj was horrible . The drinks need some work , however the bartenders are friendly and informative . The nachos were amazing . Great location and beautiful inside !

👎🏼Come on guys, Coke was awful, without gas, tasted old and you didnt have can, plastic nor glass coke, of course I even wouldve expected for you to sell Mexican coke, but no... How can you guys mess the Coca-Cola?👎🏼The michelada tasted very acid👍🏼I had sopa de tortilla and California bowl and both were great👍🏼Great tacos de birria, quesadillas and shrimp tacos👍🏼Great Pedro Infante movie

A little over priced. Party starts at 11

Service was horrible and my friends were there an hour before me. However the food order was never put in, so we left. Nothing else order and we came to do more 2 out 10

One of the best, if not the best places you can go and get dinner.

The doorman/bouncer was super great. He helped us find our table and was very welcoming. Definitely coming back again!

This place is so fun!! Nothing like I’ve experienced in Hell’s Kitchen! The bartender Lina is lovely and fun! Definitely coming especially if she’s there!

Horrible experience, we had a table with my wife, got there at 9:00 pm, order 100 dollars in drinks, we were at the dance floor when the waiter came and ask us to leave the table because some else was going to order more drinks than us, a little too much traqueto culture, the bathrooms had signs “please don’t do coke in the bathroom” apparently the like money more than people and much more than costumers, also we wanted to talk to the manager and the brought the bathroom cleaner, total hoax

Christian was the best server ever. He made sure my party and I had the best service and he was so nice. Definitely a place to visit.

Xenophobic place that didn’t let my Asian friend get in. We all had valid IDs and we all were sober, there was no reason for him don’t let her in.

Great Italian food, the portions were a bit on the larger side but everything tasted phenomenal. they really put effort into making sure everything tastes good

Went in to have dinner drinks and hookah. Decided on just hookah and drinks. The ppl behind the bar didn’t know how to make any of the drinks so we just settled for shots. The hookah was good tho.

Very chill but high energy latin space with great music to dance too and decent environment

My husband and I had dinner here for our anniversary. The waiters and staff were very welcoming and professional, although the food was just a little bland for our Caribbean tastes.

Hookah. Drinks. Service. Hands down one of the best experiences in Times Square.

This place has the best ambience, Andrew was so welcoming and accommodating with everything from our table, our drinks , and the food - Just delicious . Just Wow 5 stars for real.

Pedro at the door was so friendly! BBQ chicken wings were the best I’ve ever had. Drinks were scrumptious.

Great food. Prompt service. Everything was delicious. A bit more expensive that I expected

Drink were good 👍 is a great place to grab a few drinks & smoke hooka...The dj was amazing 👏....

Wow!! Que tu cuerpo es pa darle alegría y cosa buena for real! En LA MACARENA! Ask for ANDREW! he’s PHENOMENAL!! & ANDRES WOOWWW AMAZING SERVICE ! And LINA is just super special, this girl gets the drinks on point and makes sure you’re good! Definitely recommend coming here I had so much fun. AMAZING VIBES ! AND SALSA NIGHTS ARE THE BEST , STOOOOP!

This place discriminates against Black women. The door man told my friend that they did not allow sandals but when we looked inside we saw multiple Hispanic women wearing sneakers AND sandals. Staff was very rude. Will not be returning

Great place with great music

Best bar in Times square - many beers, beautiful interior, amazing food and most of all friendly staff who treat you like a friend!Highly recommend theres also karaoke too 😎

Amy has been the best bartender and she worked on Christmas Day. By far the most fun experience for a bar!

Love this place! The music and drinks are sooo good! Staff is super friendly!

Great vibes, the drinks were delicious & the food was great, definitely a great place to go to in the city

The security guard here threatened to punch a woman in the face and all of the other security guards stood back and laughed while this man threatened to hit a woman.

Expensive drinks mostly made of juice. Way too expensive for what ot is. The menu is also poor and expensive. Never again!

Good place to have a drink and an appetizer before going to a show.

Very nice place to dance. I enjoy it. !

The place looks great and the food was amazing and the drinks were nice and strong

Nothing worse than a cold steak. Got the bandeja paisa.Great decoration, poor quality.

The food and drinks were AMAZING! Highly recommend this new dope Latin spot in the city.

Always a blast when I’m here. I’ve been here a few times now, the best Latin place in midtown west !!

Amy is a wonderful bartender! Great place for drinks! Food is top notch!

A fun environment and friendly staff! Perfect if you’re staying at the Gallivant hotel!!

The lemon pepper wings tasted like I hit directly into a lemon.

I love this place! Great food! My favorite food here is the chicken wings!

Excellent place nice music and good vibes

Youre asking for $ 20 each after I made my reservation? In what I thought was just a restaurant ? We left immediately .

Amy is the best bartender there is!!!! Such a cute restaurant/bar. Top notch!!

First time visiting this area ! Love the atmosphere. Awesome music.

Limited food options. Hookah is trash. Pretty pricey for a 5/10 experience.

Service was extremely helpful and Food was great and delicious!

Overpriced place.

Nice place

Amazing place

Its a bad place, these guards assaulted me without justification. I dont recommend this place. Security guards attack each other without any need and also charge more money.

This is not actually a restaurant. There was reggaeton music at full volume, at 9 oclock at night they turned down the light, they ordered 2 trays paisas which was none of that with very ugly ground meat, a hard and dry thing that looked like an arepa, a raw pork rind, an egg, avocado, and a chorizo. and some salty, watery canned beans. And we ordered a roast beef and it was cut like chicharrón completely raw but the worst thing was it had a very strange flavor. The potatoes were fried and hard and the broccoli was full of oil and hard. I do not recommend this place at all, very bad experience, I encourage you to travel to Colombia to learn how to cook Colombian. Besides, when paying, the waiter is embarrassed that he doesnt charge the trays breaks and gives a 25% discount and even so the bill was paid $75 dollars. What a shame to knock people down like this. .

MONDAY; I arrived at 12 pm and I had to wait an hour and a half (1 and 30) to get in because they had to organize the event the other day, while I was waiting a homeless man stood next to me and gave me the worst time of my life.There was no security or manager present at the time.Im not coming back.

I give one star to the food, I really dont recommend the place to eat, the atmosphere is good and so are the drinks. But the food is horrible, we ordered a chicken with mushrooms and the mushroom cream was very salty, the chicken was hard and the rice was also with hard and dry grains. A friend ordered an appt that are little pieces of meat with I dont know what, and the meat was pure skin (fat) and it was also all hard and difficult to chew. Very bad food to be honest and the dishes are a bit expensive for being so bad, one $28 for chicken and another $26 which is the appetizer with the supposed steak. My friend took a photo of his plate, I didnt take a photo of the chicken plate. But if you go to this place, dont order food, just drinks.

I loved the place, the service is perfect, the food is delicious and the drinks are well prepared 👌I loved the service, food and drinks, I would definitely come back again! The environment and people are beautiful and cool 👌

Todays security reluctantly asked us for our ID, we asked him if we could show him the photo or the physical ID, he just rudely told us to have a good night, practically throwing us out of the place.

REVIEW UPDATE: Again I want to say that this place is wonderful, reiterate that the experience was excellent. I was surprised to see some bad reviews and thought the place had gone downhill but that is NOT the case.I went with my friends Friday night, we arrived before 12 am, we simply paid a cover of $10 per person, the security people are respectful, they are simply doing their job (they ask for a physical ID to be able to enter and it is not allowed bring in drinks or vapes) when we arrived there was still a table available and since we were not going to consume a lot of alcohol they told us that they could give us a table to sit and enjoy our cocktails but that if someone came to consume a bottle and they needed the space they would let us know (and we were fine with it), although we didnt have to leave the table the entire time. The service was excellent, our waiter was very attentive at all times, the music was excellent (Friday is perreo night so they only play reggaeton). In conclusion it was a great experience. I will definitely come backLa Macarena, an excellent place. Super recommended! I loved it first of all because of how easy it was to make my reservation online, then at the restaurant they welcomed us very kindly and seated us at our table, the service was excellent, the food is delicious and fresh, and it arrived very quickly and the cocktails highly recommended and another important point is that the DJ plays very varied music, it is a place with a really Latin atmosphere that is almost not seen in NY because it is open until late, plus you can dance.I loved that they care about customer satisfaction and happiness.Super recommended!

Wow wow, its been a while since I danced. I went to this place and the DJ they have is too good, he fascinated me, he played music that I couldnt go to rest. The cocktails were divine, the service was quick even though there were few waiters. Congratulations to those at the bar, the service was very fast and the guys even made the Hookah super fun.Ill be back soon to dance all the way down.
