More festive than a piñata stuffed with a mariachi band and twice as stylish, Calle Ocho’s lively crowd is amped up on Mojitos, Caipirinhas and Spanish wine or beer and shows no sign of slowing down. Those not willing or able to holler over the salsa music retire to the two small lounge areas to commiserate. The bar area is a prelude to their Nuevo Latino cuisine in the dining room that will knock your taste buds for a loop. If you’re in need of a quick jump-start, Calle Ocho will get your motor running.

yummy yummy Calle Ocho

Nice place to hang out with friends. The place is cozy and relaxing. Service is friendly but tend to be slower than I had expected. If you come here, be sure to try the Chicharron for the appetizer. I would recommend it to anyone who’s up for Cuban food.

Dishes I tried:

Chicharron

Here’s what’s in this appetizer: Crispy Calamari, Dominican Honey, Organic Sprout Salad. I really like it and thought that it is one of the best calamari dishes I’ve tried. It tends to be on the sweet side, but I liked it a lot. If you like calamari, don’t forget to try it.

Salmon

What’s in this dish: Panella Glazed Salmon, Calabaza Hash, Coconut Essence. Honestly, I wasn’t too impressed with the salmon. Also, it came in 2 small slices (about 2-3 ounces total) and a little bit of mashed potato. Kind of expensive considering the amount of food you get for the price. If I were to come here again, I would probably order something else.

Domino

This is a dark chocolate cake with dulce de leche ice cream. I liked the presentation of this dessert. The cakes were in the shape of dominos…hence the name…but they tasted more like brownies than cakes.

This is the place to hang out if you wanna hook up with a 35-something+ pharmaceutical rep or woman working for a real estate firm. Food is nothing great.

Ocho?? I give it a TEN!

Oh man, the food is here is soooooo great. I eat a lot of Mexican dishes and there are some here that will make your knees weak. Drinks are great too…the last time I was there I made sure to drink Superfruit Mojitos that I read about, the bartender makes it with TY ku. Try any of the ceviches. Absolutely heavenly.

All the food is great, the ceviches and appetizers I find better than the entrees. Great drinks, several different mojitos and sangrias, I liked a mojito with dark rum, maybe was called Carribean mojito? Very trendy and loud, but not in a bad way. The gallitos (soft tacos which you make with beef, chicken and shrimp) is really good. The bunuelos with black bean dip which is complementary is insane, can easily fill up on those!

Great place on the UWS right behind the Museum of Natural History. Same owners as Rain West and they have similar drinks. You MUST get a mojito when you go. It’s one of the best in the city. And if you and your date are hungry, get the paella for two.
