Description
Located at 33-01 Broadway, Barzola has been feeding the neighborhood since 1987 with an expansive menu of Ecuadorian and Colombian comfort food. The kitchen turns out coastal classics like encebollado de pescado (fish stew) and fresh ceviche alongside hearty plates of seco de gallina. A standout is the fish and shrimp casserole, which arrives bubbling hot in a heavy stone pot. Portions are notoriously generous, whether you are ordering a crispy chicken cutlet with rice and lentils or starting with savory bolón and muchines. The dining room feels warm and unpretentious, with the energy picking up on weekends when live music or DJs turn dinner into a lively social gathering.
