Reviews
The cocktais were well crafted and their presentation was as delightful and the drinks themselves.
We both ordered mofongo, one with shrimp and the other one with steak. They were delicious and beautifully plated.
Our server was competent and attentive.
They were playing Latin music, which was pleasant and not too loud. A DJ was setting up his equipment while we were there. We are told they have dancing late in the evening.
We are planning to go back and try other items on the menu.
On top of that, the quality was not good. The food was bland and honestly one of the least enjoyable meals I’ve had. Both my partner and I felt unwell right after leaving, which was very concerning.
There are also hidden fees. They added something called a fillos charge just for being there, and on top of that you’re expected to pay additional tips. While our waitress was very nice, the extra charges made the bill even more frustrating.
The environment wasn’t much better — the music was too loud and the seating was very cramped, leaving little privacy. Overall, it felt like the place is more about aesthetics for photos than actually providing a good dining experience. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially given the high prices.
We started with some of their cocktails—my mom had a dirty martini, and I tried the passionfruit mojito. They were decent, not amazing, but fine.
To start, we shared the Mexicana a la Dominicana. The pork belly was crispy and delicious, but I didn’t like the plantain base. It was too thick and kind of bland. I think it would’ve been better on a tostone. That said, the portion was generous (especially the guac!), though my mom thought there could’ve been a bit more pork.
For mains, we tried the ribs with tostones and the roasted half chicken with rice and beans, plus an order of cassava fries to split. The chicken was a star—super flavorful, though a little dry. Some garlic sauce or even some mayochup to dip it would’ve taken it to the next level. The rice and beans were simple but perfect. The ribs, however, were just okay. They were smothered in BBQ sauce (which tasted good) but the meat itself was a little tough and lacked seasoning. We ended up using the sauce to dip the cassava fries and tostones.
Speaking of those cassava fries—WOW. Best I’ve ever had. Super crispy with amazing flavor. The tostones were fine, pretty standard.
For dessert, we tried the flan and the tres leches. The flan had a firmer texture than I’m used to (not my favorite), but my mom loved it. The tres leches, though was excellent.
All the portions were big—honestly a little too big for our tiny table—and everything was plated beautifully. The service was great too; our server was super attentive and kind. That definitely helped justify the prices a bit more.
While I didn’t love everything we had, I still think Filos is a great option for a special night out. The vibe is fun, the food is good, and the overall experience makes it worth a try even though it’s a little pricey. The place turns into a club with a DJ around 9 which sounds fun, our server said it gets lively.
Overall, I’d give Filos an 8/10. I’d definitely come back once in a while, especially to see what the late-night scene is like!
I was made to feel welcome and appreciated for visiting. With the chef giving me some extra sauce to take home and try.
This place, is new, and quiet, so support it. And know their food is made with care and their guests are made to feel special. I will be back. They have some genuine and authentic items on their menu. Even though its decor is modern inside, it still manages to feel familiar and local.
