Amazing food for a good price in NY city. Kind of food that brightens your day.
Ordered take out and it was ready, but still hot after my walk there. Had the El Ché and La Flaca arepas, cilantro rice and beans, and a sweet plantain with queso. The arepas had a really interesting and tasty combination of fillings, but were a bit dry. I think they’d benefit from an extra side of sauce. The rice and beans were on the bland side, I think they’d be fine with a squeeze of lime, sprinkle of queso fresco and sour cream. The plantain with queso was wonderful - you really can’t go wrong with those. I got all that food for about $22 which I think is super reasonable as it was very filling and I had some leftovers. I’d definitely go here again, but I’d probably get some extra sauces on the side and add sour cream and queso fresco too - that would make a huge difference for me!
I had ordered from this place in the past as I enjoy arepas and decided to put them on my recommendation list for reps who frequent my office. NEVER AGAIN! One of our reps yesterday ordered from here but it did not show up when it was supposed to. We made a call and was told it was ready for pick up. I explained it was supposed to be delivery and was informed they didn't know where the delivery person was nor could give me an ETA. We had to start our meeting without food and it took another 2 phone calls and over an hour later to finally get the food which was obviously freezing cold by this point. The reps tried to call to speak to someone about it but like I had experienced when trying to help, got hung up on. I felt truly sorry for even suggesting Costas in the first place. What a waste of money, time, and energy.

I placed an order today for delivery for a lunch and learn that I had with a Design firm. Costas confirmed my time of 11:45am via text. The food never showed up even though they sent a text that the food was on its way.. I called at 12:15pm to inquire about the delivery but they claimed the food was at the restaurant ready for pick up. When I told them it was for delivery not pick up, it took them an hour to deliver the food (6 blocks away). The food was ice cold. I called later to complain but they did not return my call.
I have catered lunches for my Designers for over 35 years and never had such horrible service. I do not know which is worse, cold tacos or the cold response.
Do not use this restaurant, they are terrible!!!
