Cañave - Broad Channel

One of the best restaurants in the heights, as soon as you walk in you feel the great atmosphere of the employees and the place. Food and Drinks are tremendously delicious. It’s a must to visit…. THE HANGER STEAK IS THE BEST

Very cute neighborhood place with nice staff.(pictures attached)Beef and mushroom empanadas were great.Shrimp cevicheQueso fundido

I found this place by chance and I’m so glad I did! Went with some friends on a Saturday night just because they had live music and now this is our go to place. The drinks are delicious and the food is even better! I’ve had the empanadas, mofonguitos, canave burger and canave chimi, the steak and the flautas and I just cant get enough of them. Brought my brother the other day and now he is looking forward to go back. Prices I think are reasonable because of the quality of everything they serve. Great atmosphere and the staff is amazing!

Fabulous post museum lunch. Cold beer and creative cuisine. Latin American a mix of Caribbean and Mexican flavors. Great green plantains croquetas; loved the empanadas (pastelillos in Puerto Rico); and great queso fundido. Everything fresh. The mofonguito was super soft; incredible Criollo sauce! Excellent cilantro rice beans too. Junior, our server, and the whole team were friendly. Good music too. We'll be back...Vegetarian options: Mushroom empanadas. Rice beans. Several other veg options.
