After husband-and-wife duo Tamy Rofe and Felipe Donnelly’s major success with their first cozy spot Cómodo in SoHo, they opened a second: Colonia Verde, serving up some of the best Latin American nosh in Brooklyn.

The restaurant is rustic and candle-lit, with a warm, homey vibe that resonates throughout the entire space. We suggest dining in the outdoor garden, surrounded by the beautiful hanging foliage and the scent of the herbs, which you'll later see on your plate.

Aside from the ambiance, the food is hard to beat. We suggest the duck confit tacos, with avocado, cilantro, pickled onions and yuca chips to start, followed by a Pao De Quijo burger, mixed with caramelized onions and topped with cilantro pesto. If you are a veggie lover, the grilled peaches and artichoke salad is a must.

They were forced to close after a fire, but have made a triumphant return as a beloved neighborhood staple. Their motto: food tastes better when shared.
