Chuzo Culture

Chuzo's is a hidden gem. I mainly order takeout but I have stopped in for dinner as well and can verify that the food tastes delicious either way.The chicken is always marinated to perfection and their green sauce is finger licking good. The whole chicken is a must and get the green plantains and side salad, you'll be set. If you're paleo or low carb - this spot is great option for you OR if you're a lover of juicy, flavorful chicken - this spot is also a great option.

There aren't many Ecuadorian places in NYC, so what a treat to have this spot fairly close by! It feels cozy but has a good amount of seating, with a bustling sports bar vibe, especially at night.I first came during lunch and got the combo with encebollado and chaulafan. Although I'm waiting for more of my favorite Ecuadorian dishes to make their way to NYC (black clam ceviche anyone?) I'm glad they do the encebollado justice here. It comes with lime slices and plantain chips, so squeeze that lime, crumble the chips, and mix everything around. I loved the rich, comforting flavors of the soup with the umami flavor of the albacore tuna, streaked through with the brightness of lime juice. I'm not even an onion fan but I've been converted for just this one dish. The fried rice was perfectly fine, but the encebollado's where it's at.The second time around, I had to take advantage of the happy hour. The saucy, spicy wings ($1 on Monday nights) and Ecuadorian hot dog with green sauce, pickled aioli, and crushed chips are fantastic. The pork seco patacones are flavorful, and you also can't go wrong with the mini salchipapas. Separate from the HH menu, don't sleep on the chuzos, which they're known for. I got the combo with chicken, steak, and chorizo. Each of the grilled meats was super juicy (my favorite was the steak) with a hint of smokiness, and went well with the green sauce and spicy pickled veggies.I'd also recommend getting the Manzana soda. It's refreshing, not too bubbly or sweet, and really tastes like fresh, ripe apples.Rest assured I'll be back, either for more of their wings, encebollado, or new dishes like the llapingachos and rotisserie chicken.

What a spot! Highly recommend Chuzo Culture for their outstanding service, tasty drinks, and satiating food We came here for happy hour. Shout out to them for having a legit happy hour from 4-7, every day!!! This is how it should be. The vibe is welcoming, with an open concept and lots of space at the bar or at your own table.The service was wonderful. We felt treated like family and very well taken care of. It was nice to see the passion put into the service and how everyone went out of their way to introduce us to key items on the menu. We had an incredible time and can't wait to go back

We came here for the happy hour! We tried almost every item on the happy hour menu and had a lot of fun tasting all the different items for a great deal. My favorite items out of the happy hour were probably the wings and fried chicken!

Officially my new favorite place!!You know when you find a place and it ticks all the boxes...Great food!Great drinks!Great service!Cozy Vibe!W/ an education on Ecuadorian street food.This place is it!Came in on a Sunday evening for dinner w/ a friend. We decided to sit at the bar. From the beginning, Henry or Mike were super attentive and helpful when choosing cocktails or food. Ya'll it's HH from 4-7pm daily! My kind of place. My friend had the strawberry mojito and I didn't want my normal G&T that was on the HH menu. I got the Lemon Grass Sour. So tasty. Then I switched to another gin based cocktail made by Mike. It was the drink of the night. For food we wanted everything...however we only managed to get the salchipapas and wings a la brasa. Both were really tasty. We wanted so many other things but my stomach said absolutely not. Definitely try it! I'll definitely will be back to try the Chuzo Combo, Chaulafan, and what ever strikes my fancy.

**Yelp Review for Chuzo Culture**I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chuzo Culture in Park Slope, and let me tell you, it was an incredible experience! The vibe is super chill, with great music and fun decor that makes you feel right at home.From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel welcome. Mike, the manager, was especially interactive and enthusiastic about the menu. He insisted I try the wings, even offering two for free just to prove how amazing they are. I reluctantly accepted, and wow--I was blown away! They were succulent, packed with flavor, and I couldn't resist ordering a full batch to savor.I also tried the burger, which might just be the best I've had in ages. It had a perfect balance of textures and spices that left me wanting more. To wash it down, I went for the Amora cocktail--definitely a great choice!Happy hour from 4 to 7 PM is a fantastic bonus, so if you can, swing by during that time. The experience was so good that I called another friend to join me, and he loved his steak kabobs and fish soup as well.Overall, I can't recommend Chuzo Culture enough! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. And don't forget to say hello to Mike! Enjoy!

Great place for happy hour, friendly n courteous service. Great addition to the neighborhood. The hot dog is yummy n they are know for the home cooked lentil soup. Perfect for a cold night. I will definitely come back n try other things

Ronny, Henry and the rest of the Chela family have another winner on their hands in Chuzo Culture. This Ecuadorian Sports Bar in Park Slope offers up top tier food and cocktails so delicious you'll definitely want to try everything on the menu. The Chuzo are so, so tender and packed with flavor. Visit Chuzo once and you'll surely be back for more!

I've been meaning to try this place for some weeks but because of soccer games I haven't it's been so crowded lol. Finally got a chance to attend their wing Monday special and I wasn't disappointed. Greeted once I walked in very pleasant, friendly and informative bartender/host. They have daily specials and their happy hour is very well worth it. $1 wings all night Mondays. These Ecuadorian wings are the best wings I've tried in a while, grilled and seasoned to perfection and the aioli sauce to match perfect. Along with $5 beers they don't miss. The service here is also very good. Ambiance very relaxed. Great for date night, solo, or group. Tv for sports. Very clean. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Came here to try the happy hour wings. Tasty with a grilled garlic lime motif . My cocktail was weak thus I switched to corona beers. Service was good. No wait on a Tuesday pm. Ambiance was neighborhood sports bar. No padded seats.
