We walked into Seba Seba and were greeted by a kind server with a cool spot of white in his beard. He sat us at a table immediately. While waiting for our friends, he offered us two refreshing glasses of ice water. When our friends came, because we had a bigger party, the server kindly switched us to the booth seating to better accommodate our group.<br><br>The vibe was warm and welcoming, with plenty of other patrons there enjoying their Saturday brunch. The place is suited for both solo eaters, couple dates, or with a few friends. Quick service, plenty of seating, and clean tables throughout the restaurant. A baby friendly location, there are high chairs available and plenty of space for a stroller. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked.<br><br>The chicken empanadas came hot and ready. Each bite was a juicy delight of chicken breast, potato, and veggies. The cheese empanada gave the perfect cheese pull and the crunch was exactly what you want from a corn crust. The maracuja smoothie was cold, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The bunuelo was fried to perfection, sweet with a hint of cheese.<br><br>There’s also a takeout counter for those looking to grab a quick bite. For those with a sweet tooth, plenty of classic desserts are available such as pan coco and tres leches.

Loved the food 🩵🇨🇴
after a couple years I decided to visit food was very fast perfect for a quick bite which I’m happy about but unfortunately I did not like the way I got seated/ greeted :((((((
Very yummy food and nice staff! I would have given 5 stars if not for the price. The layout is very simple and humble, it should<br>Not be priced so high in my opinion. I was surprised at our bill.
Very informal environment with good choices for breakfast and brunch. Nice coffee and food pastries.
I went back to this place and had to change a previous review. I had credited this place with having the best stewed beans around. Unfortunately the last time i went the quality just wasnt there and neither was the flavor. Although still ok not the quality or flavor i got on previous visits. I had their chicken empanadas as well as their beef empanadas, both were still very good. The service was mid, and the place still needs a makeover, i will still go back in hopes for the food i have gotten in the past
Service lately has been a lot better because usually it's been hit or miss with some nasty attitude and service.<br><br>The reason I'm reviewing now is because this should never have happened: I ordered "agua panela with lemon" and received it with a bug inside...a BUG!!!! 🤮 Seriously?? This is just not acceptable especially after they're "particular" in how they do things there.<br><br>Their breakfast dish with eggs with tomatoes and onions is delish; their baked goods are a second place to a way better place a block away on Roosevelt Ave (Pecoshitas); chicharon is also hit or miss. I do like their coffee (black) and their chicken empanada. They also make the best pique.<br><br>Location and service is eh...
When you first walk in the aroma of the food hit your nose 👃 such a pleasant order . The restaurant is very clean 🧽 The staff is very attentive to your needs . Both languages are spoken here . So do not worry if your pronunciation is not up to par. Your here for the food . You will not be disappointed. Very well prepared. Enjoy a meal by yourself or with your friends. Or with your family. Which ever way you go . You will enjoy your meal 🥘 bon appétit
Ordered a whole wheat Crossiant and it was a bit stale. Told the waitress and stated that it was fresh and then she said it was from the day before. When someone goes to get breakfast you clearly want fresh bread and not from the day before. But the French fries were good and the hot chocolate.
the food generally is good. but this time a chorizo was not good the manager came with a hard face and stated that the chorizo was ok, and simply said that’s the way they are, in te contrary the male manager has better ways to answer for a case like that, well we left the chorizo we didn’t want to eat something that will make me sick
I love to come here everytime I go to Queens (once in a while) the food is so good. and the service is great. Also, I like to take some empanadas (cheese and beef) at home.<br>My favorite plate is la Bandeja Paisa pequeña ( mini country plate). the beans taste so delicious, the rice and the meat everything is so perfect.. this time we tried the arepa, and it was so yummy..
Great bakery! They have a couple of locations in queens. I liked their food except for them not listening when I asked for well done chorizo.
Always great food. Best Cuban sandwiches out there really full of meats. They also have great desserts and lots of different Spanish style breads.
