Very friendly people, accommodating, and the food was savory. For those who are looking for a place to eat Cuy (Guinea pig) come and enjoy some here! It was a bit pricey, however, it was very worth it.

One of the few places in nyc with cuy, amazing quality food and service 10 / 10 must visit

Beautiful place. The food was amazing felt like I was home in my country Ecuador. Great place to spend time your family. Truly will come back with my friends . Got to dance with a cuy. Super fun !!!!!! Love it here !!!!

This place is great. I’m an out of state university student and so everytime I’ve come home to NYC I’ve searched for a place to find Cuy, and finally I found La Casa Del Cuy. They treat you like you are family and ensure you have a good dining experience. The food is delicious, if you go on the weekend make sure to get the Sopa de Borrego. I will be back.

This place is fantastic! You must try the Cuy!! It's one of those things everyone should try!

This was my first time eating Cuy. My wife ( from Colombia) has been missing it for almost 5 years. When we were visiting NYC and saw Coy on the menu we had to stop. It was tender, and delicious. Our server/ think the owner was kind and attentive ( he even gave us the special table!). The atmosphere was fun.and vibrant. If you are ever in the area stop here. Order Cuy. Success.
