The food is fresh and flavorful. The menu has a great combination of food from different countries. The service was great too. We enjoyed the drinks as well.

I ate here yesterday for the 1st time. The food was very good. We had, pork, steak, chicken, and shredded beef, guacamole, beet salad and sangria. The only recommendation is to lower the music a little bit. It’s hard to have a conversation when it’s too loud. Besides that everything was great!

If you are a man vs. food challenge person, try their Pandeja Paisa! A bit pricey, but for good reason! Skirt steak cooked-to-order, sausage, pork belly, avo, arepa, maduros, rice & beans and an egg. Food is flavorful and plentiful. I sat at the bar and the bartender was hardly behind the bar, so it was like table service. Needs were met. Good everything-latino cuisine place.

I looooove Puertas! We celebrated my mom’s birthday there. Music in great, drinks are so good. 45 for margaritas unlimited is a bit pricey but still very very good. The food is incredible. 10/10 I recommend. The staff is awesome.

My family and I have been here on multiple occasions and it never disappoints. Menu has changed over time since they opened and we have been able to try so many different things. All super delicious! Waiters, bartenders and staff always have a smile on there face and happy to attend. Let’s not forget the most amazing music that’s playing even on the weekday. Drinks are great and definitely worth the price. Would recommend to everyone for big events or even quick bites. Sharing some pics

I came here for my pre- birthday dinner. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The decor and ambiance of this restaurant are great. Throughout the restaurant, there are pics of legend latin artists. The menu has a variety of food choices to choose from. I love how the menu has different latin dishes from different countries. The bar is nice and spacious. For drinks, we ordered Coco Cruz, Ruben Blades Rum, and a frozen strawberry margarita. Drinks were nice and strong. Appetizers were delicious. We ordered guacamole with tostones, shrimp ceviche, and Empanadas. I loved how each empanada was shaped differently to distinguish the filling inside. For our main entrees, we ordered the Bandeja Paisa, Ropa Vieja, and Carne Asada. All three dishes were delicious and packed with flavors. For dessert we ordered dairy free tres leche cake and a coconut flan. Both desserts were delicious. Staff came out to sing happy birthday to me. We were brought out free shots. Overall, this place is amazing. The bathroom is kept cleaned. Staff was very attentive and super friendly. We will definitely be returning back. Keep up with them on social media, where they post when they have brunch events or live bands in attendance. Amazing latin restaurant in Bayridge.
