What a fantastic restaurant. Met the owner (Patrick) who has the warmest and friendly personality The food is simply excellent. Portion size great. Quality superb. Patrick takes time to visit and talk with his customers and shows a genuine interest in seeing to his guests needs and comfort. He will get a 5 star Yelp revue. Should any of you visit NYC. You must stop and dine here. The service is of high focus to customers and our table of six received the finest of service and customer service All this when every table and seat was at full capacity Do yourself a favor. Go and dine at Guantanamera. .

This is a very rare vegan recommendation for a Brazilian restaurant, but the Brazil-loving carnivorous friend I met for dinner at Rice x Beans was equally pleased. It was such a treat to enjoy a delicious, well balanced, and attractive meal without feeling like it was slapped together as a second tier consideration. The rice and beans are, in fact, delicious as were all the vegetables that came with them. Service was attentive and fast. A delightful evening altogether!
