El Mate - Broad Channel

A unique combination of — usually held impossible — of Argentinean and Brazilian cultures. Yes, both countries and cultures share the “Mate”. Great service, personality and vibe. From the quick and clear and effective last minute reservation call, through welcoming us. Top quality empanadas. Home made rice and black beans opening for an unconventional picanha juicy cut, great! They do caipirinhas! The dulce de leche flan? Omg….awesome!

This place is an absolute gem. Everything is delish. Highly recommend

The food is delicious I had the steak with rice black beans, but the waitress took forever to take down my order since she was the only one working at the place I completely understand. I only suggest they need to hire more waiters staff..

The food is very good but they force you to pay a 25% tip. Tipping is voluntary in new york city. You cannot decide for the client. If the customer is happy with the service, he will also reward the waiter. The tip is 20% or 25% when there are more than 8 people at the table, not for 2 people.Thanks.

I liked the barbecue the meat was tender, although the dinner was a bit expensive.
