Yayo's Latin Cuisine

Just solid Latin cuisine with great service!Nothing exciting about the ambience but if you get your order to go and take it home. If you plate it properly it becomes an amazing meal with friends and family!!

This is my second time coming here and I can definitely say I should've came back sooner. The restaurant has a takeout section and dining hall and the dining hall looks really clean and kinda fancy. I took my girlfriend here for Mother's Day and she loved it. The service was good as the staff came to help us out often even though it was full. The food was also delicious as well. Would def recommend giving this spot a try if you haven't.

I come for the Mofongo... and the ice.My garlicky pernil Mofongo (lightly-fried green plantain with pork mixed into a flat mountain form, topped, then surrounded by the sauce of your chooosing) into a arrived and I didn't even think about taking pictures! I ate it and enjoyed every morsel of the delicate balance of moisture without oversaturation. The portion is big enough for 2 people to share and the take home container fit my "extra" half perfectly.I peered over at my Love's food and nabbed 2 chicharrón de pollo con huesos (bone-in fried chicken chunks) drizzled with freshly-squeezed lemon juice. He graced me with a heaping spoonful of white rice and black beans. Flavorful chicken, from a women's who isn't the biggest chicken fan. Shout out to the chef. The food is consistently 4 to 5 stars.There are 2 dining rooms, and we opted for the very rear, which had music, a bar area, a stage, and a gender neutral restroom. Our server was pleasant and urged us to take our time and enjoy our meal. Thanks a bunch.We opted out of dessert, but I had MY treat, a cup of their delicious ice...heaven ('s ice) must be like this!

On a Saturday afternoon I visited Yayos which is on 5th Ave a block from Barclays Center in Brooklyn . The spot was fairly empty but was crowded when we left . It's a chill vibe . If you're looking for authentic Latin Cuisine this is your spot . I had the best coffee with plain ole milk . It was rich and creamy . I wanted brunch so I ordered steak and eggs with home fries. The home fries are delicious ! Flank steak is a tradition which was fine since it's thin and I don't eat steak often . It was well cooked . ( I asked for it med rare but oh well .. lol ) My friend had La Resaca traditional dish that included Salami, Egg, fried Dominican cheese and Mangu ( boiled and mashed green plantains with onions ) . The food took a while to come but the service was outstanding . The waiter was attentive . Since it's brunch we need drinks no ? I had a Mojito which was excellent! It's a spot you definitely want to visit !Ohh - I almost forgot they have take out ! The entrance is through the take out side and you wait to be seated on the dine in side . So if you're in a hurry - you can grab and go . I feel like I want some soup this week on my way home to Queens - so I'm going to grab me some Sanchocho to go !

Cute Latin Cuisine spot on 5th Ave in BK. Restaurant has a dine in area and a take out line. Ate here before a concert at Barclays. Service was great and food was good. I had the chicken empanadas for appetizers. Main entrees were Arroz Con dules with pernil and Arroz con pollo. Great portions. Also tried the red sangria. Over great spot to try if near Barclays Center

Stumbled across this place by accident and it ended up being a great time. When you walk in there is a buffet set up and in the back you can sit down and eat it's a very large area spacious, clean and welcoming. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and we're handed iPads as menus.To drink we started with a Red sangria which was good and a White sangria which was made on the spot it was ok but not better than the red. I asked the bartender to make something he thought was good and he brought over a Coconut margarita with Don Julio reposado it was very good I definitely recommend. For starters I ordered the Tostones rellenos which were good the guacamole was fresh and shrimp were a great size, I ordered another one that ended coming out late so I took it home. For my entree I ordered the Broiled salmon which came with asparagus and I got yellow rice and black beans on the side so good! My friend got the Pollo relleno stuffed chicken breast with salmon and sweet, plantain and mushroom sauce and he got fried plantains on the side this was also a good dish excellent portion size.The inside of this place is decorated with paintings of Brooklyn legends and monuments, it's also walking distance from the Barclays and a beautiful touch on the area.

Visited on a spur of the moment, and they didn't disappoint. I gave them 4 stars, but they are somewhere really in the 3.5 range for me, in my opinion. They wasn't any real critiques for me to give them a straight 3 stars. Ambiance is pretty basic, you can dine in or grab to go. They have televisions and there is a full bar. I ordered red sangria, and it was batched. It wasn't full on body, not the best sangria I have had. Service was A1, i was treated very warmly on my visit. The food was ok, I wish there was a little more seasoning but maybe that is by design. My grilled chicken was dry, but onions added flavor. You can always season up, hard to season down. All in all, a good experience.

I like coming here for a good after work happy hour drink. The drinks are well made and flavorful and for the price it is great even the presentation is great. The hospitality here is very welcoming the food very tasteful. The calamari I had was nicely fried with marinara sauce on the side. The roast park is always very tender and well seasoned. The ambiance is always neat clean and organized. Definitely great for groups or even a date night a block away from the Barclays center. I highly recommend

Food and service pretty good. No rush no frills kind of place. The menus are on digital iPads and this restaurant is a block away from the Barclays center so a great way to start the day by catching a drink or some grub before or after a game or event. They also have free parking across the street which is also nice. The restaurant is split into 3 levels the first being for take out orders, the second is for dine in and the third is a bar with a stage as some nights they also host live acts so you can watch a musical performance and have a drink or 2. A nice spot if in the neighborhood or on a date if you love Spanish food or want to try it definitely check it out. I left here super full so you will want to wear lose clothing (don't say I didn't warn you lol). Nice spot check it out! They also have a happy hour special during the week!

This place is awesome! Was headed to a show at the Barclays Center and wanted to eat beforehand. My friend recommended we come here and it was so great! I got the kale caesar salad (and added avocado + salmon) and he got lamb chops with rice and beans (and plantains).My food was so fresh and delicious and he loved his too! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to come back for another awesome meal!
