Cocina Chente Bronx Reviews
Margaritas are delicious the service is excellent and the atmosphere is cool and chilled. Chente has outdoor and indoor seating which is always a plus. Tacos were tasty. Can’t wait for our next visit
This is my favorite restaurant in Riverdale! It has an exquisite tequila bar, excellent food, and an ambiance that makes for a great ladies' night out! My favorite dish.....chimi tacos! . This restaurant is still my go to in Riverdale! Jorge makes you feel at home, going above and beyond, the service he renders is truly an art. And they are dig friendly!
The food is really good, especially The Volcano. I loved the quesadillas, steak, my favorite. You must try the nachos!!! The cocktails are amazing. Try the Chenterita or skinny margaritas, they are delicious! The service was genuine and friendly. Everyday is a great day to go in and enjoy the drinks and food. Fridays are filled with fun with live DJ. I highly recommend this cozy and lively spot!
This place is such a nice treat and great to have in the neighborhood. The service was great and food was absolutely delicious. Would come everyday if I could! Don't miss out, def go and try it.
Recommended by friends, I loved this cute and cozy restaurant, with delicious food and wonderful signature drinks. The service was excellent, attentive and everyone was very friendly. They will see me soon again. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ordered the fish tacos and margaritas from uber eats … when I say 🔥 ! You taste the alcohol in the drink. Tacos were amazing! They followed directions on the note I added. Just wow!!!
This restaurant is in my neighborhood and I love it. They have a very good happy hour menu with flavored margaritas, tacos, and quesadillas on it. We ordered the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, chicken quesadillas, guacamole, churros, and mango and passion fruit margaritas. Everything was delicious! The only thing I would suggest is for them to give the guacamole more flavor, not to be scared to add more salt and lime- that’s the only thing that was bland and not that good. However, the tacos were soo tasty, and they weren’t cheap with the shrimp, churros were amazing. Drinks were strong and hitting! I definitely recommend this spot and will be going there again.
ate here when they opened and did not have to wait long. service was phenomenal! he was great at providing recommendations. the food was delicious. i got la vegana and it was super filling and nutritious. my boyfriend got beef nachos and he said the portion was large and the cheese was amazing. we both were very satisfied by the end of the meal. only caveat was the music, which was techno dance music. regardless, highly recommend checking this place out!
Cocina has the yummiest selection of cocktails and the staff is very accommodating. The food is well plated and the music is authentic. I’ve never felt so relaxed at a restaurant before🥰 This is more of a ladies night, friend date, and family type of spot in my opinion. Leave the man at home for this one 🤣
My niece wanted to take me to this place because she liked it so much. She didn't disappoint me. The food was delicious, especially the tostadas. You can view the menu on a tablet given by the server. The look of the location was very true to their name. I enjoyed my company and location.
Don’t ask how we been here ! Was a gift from the Gods. Excellent food good environment. I love the decoration. Simple and smart. Clean place. Service was excellent and know to make you to enjoy your time. Very good drinks. Very fair at the prices on drinks normal at the food for the quality they offer. Ceviche,nachos, sea bass and salmon our choices all are so good. Almost try all the cocktails and was really good. Love it ! Our server was Jorge and he was excellent !
Visited on a Saturday night recently. It was pretty quiet; only 3 tables occupied and I’m surprised there weren’t more people. This place is great! I ordered the Rosa colada and wow! It was so good. It was like drinking a strawberry milkshake. I also ordered the guacamole and steak fajitas. Both were so, so good. The steak was well seasoned, tender and juicy. It came with rice and beans and tortillas. All fresh and tasty. The service was quick and attentive as well. I really enjoyed my experience and can’t wait to come back!
I promised the owner I would add another review 😂 because I love this place he deserves all the good reviews ! Here’s my update: Tonight a friend and I and her cute dog came for dinner . The flautas, maduros y tacos son delicioso. I a determined to try EVERYTHING on this menu 🤩Again, the service and food never disappoint! A local in the neighborhood asked where we came from and I’m pretty sure he grabbed dinner there too being a newbie in the area. Be back soon! From atmosphere to food to service, I give it 5 stars. The service was incredible. The hostess and server were so hospitable it felt like family. I love how quaint the place is. I had the enchiladas verdes which was AMAZING! So fresh and homemade! I will def be back!
Came here for happy hour with friends. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The drinks and food were delicious. We had a baby with us and the staff constantly came to our table to provide fruit and other things for the baby. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area or looking for a great spot to have a nice drink. #happyhour #drinks #family #tequila #whiskey #art
Beautiful local spot. I haven't been here since the shutdown.Great service by the staff. I was assisted by 4 different people and it was like they all knew me. Kinda like having 4 servers devoted to me. I was in time for happy hour, yippee!! The margaritas and the chicken fajitas were amazing and flavorful. I can wait to come back and sample more of thee menu! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.
This restaurant came up on my Amex offers so I decided to give it a try since it was my girlfriends birthday. The appearance of the restaurant was beautiful inside and out. The food was amazing. I recommend everyone try out the tacos. Though the bill can rack up high but every item was worth it. The drinks were good too. I would recommend this place for special occasions with a significant other or family/friends. I enjoyed myself here.
I went with a group of 18 people and we received the best service ever. This is place very unique and a hidden gem in the Bronx. The food was to die for. Very delicious juicy and tender. The taste just melts in your mouth. The vibe is magnificent. The music isn’t too loud so you can actually converse. The servers were very attentive. There was also a live performance and they were great very interactive with the crowd. The only negative thing I could possibly say is that the place is pretty small.
