Ksenia Nakonechny2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to Pil Pil over six times since December (I’ve honestly lost count at this point). It’s truly the best spot in New York for authentic Spanish food. I even brought a friend from Madrid, and they confirmed that both the food and service are outstanding. The croquetas are my absolute favorite, I often order 2–3 just for takeaway. Their pan con tomate is so fresh and flavorful, you can tell the tomatoes are top quality. The chorizos are another must-try, and you can’t go wrong pairing your tapas with one of their sangrias. I genuinely love this place and it is probably my favorite food spot in the city since Spanish food is my favorite. If they ever start a rewards program, I’ll be the first to sign up!

George Taitano2025-07-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent! Never, and I have been many places, have we been seated and received heartfelt service so quickly and warmly. Our waters were present and filled within the 1st 15 seconds. Will, was a great bartender, fielding our queries and offering knowledge answers. Great vibe! So impressive. We will be back! So close to MET and East side. Hardest decision was Cerveza or Sangria… Enthusiastic 5-stars! One year later. Same 5 stars, same warm welcome, fast service and delicious tapas. Added 5 stars for food. Will and Maria took good care of us! Enjoy! Rodolfo Sandoval2025-07-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve Been coming here for 13 years.
