Family and I stopped in for dinner mid-week. The entire area was quiet and parking on the street, diagonal from the restaurant, was a breeze. I had called in for reservations the day before but when we arrived, there was only one other diner there, so seating was immediate. First impressions were that it was a quaint place and intimate due the lighting (or lack thereof). Our server quickly came by with menus and took our drink order. Having viewed the menu beforehand, we knew there would be something for everyone. Their online menu touts the cuisine as Global Fusion Tapas and it 's definitely Spanish/Portuguese with an Asian twist on some dishes. There were plenty of apps and small bites as...
I am an ice bear. Normally I eat spotted seals in the wild. When I?m on land? I go to Vinoco in Mineola where Chef Carlos Roman creates the most delicious dishes. We picked up a bunch of dishes for New Years and everything was ready on time and pipinghot! And then? we devoured everything. Meat lovers platter was seasoned perfectly. His empanadas?? Don?t get me started. Iwould turn human to eat these more often. The KFC Bao Bun was perfectly crispy. Rice and beans, maduros, yuca and potatoes allinsanely delicious. But wait!! There?s more. Tempura fish tacos?? Just stop the review now. I don?t know how to properlyarticulate how crispy and flavorful they were. Heaven in a bite. Thank you Chef....
I'm an ice bear. I usually eat stained seals in the wild. If I'm in the country? I'm going to Vinoco in Mineola, where Chef Carlos Roman creates the most delicious dishes. We picked up some dishes for New Years, and everything was on time and pissing hot! And then? Meat lover platter was perfectly seasoned. His empanadas? Don't let me start. I would force people to eat these more often. The KFC Bao Bun was perfectly crispy. Rice and beans, Maduros, Yuca and potatoes all incredibly delicious. But wait! More? Tempura fish tacos?? Stop it now. I don't know how to articulate correctly how crispy and tasteful they were. Heaven in a bite. Thank you. Chef. Until we meet again!
I must say, wow! What a hidden gem! If you haven't tried Vinoco, you must. The owner is amazing and personally involved in the restaurant, which is reflected in the food and drinks. The dishes were so beautiful and delicious that I couldn't resist digging in and forgot to take pictures after the first bite. That's how good it was! The restaurant offers tapas style dining, so order a little of everything like we did. Whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed!

Went there for the first time today, and the food was super awesome. We first tried the Sangaritas, which is a mix of sangria and margarita, and it tasted super delicious. Then we had a series of tapas, consisting of lobster empanadas, meatballs, fig, and prosciutto all were just a burst of flavors. The service was exceptional. I was too busy enjoying the food that did not have time to take pictures of them but I definitely recommend this place.
Vinoco, a tapas bar in Mineola, is a hidden gem that I was hesitant to share with others. However, every dish we tried was outstanding! The empanadas, arepas, sweet plantains, and fried chicken bao buns were all delicious. The owner was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and intimate. It's a great spot for a casual and romantic date night.
This restaurant was an absolute classic. Chef Carlos and Eric were a dynamic duo, and I loved every second of every meal I got to enjoy here. Wonderful memories with friends and an incredible ambience. It will be dearly missed. Thank you!
The food is unique and delicious. Has a good selection of wine. It is a small restaurant and the lighting is nice for a date. All the servers wear masks and everyone is distanced pretty well.

I just had the most amazing dining experience. One plate was more delicious than the last... looks and smells amazing but most of all it tasted outrageous!! Next Level Elevated!!
Delicious tapas, everything we tried was good. Only complaint is the pork buns could have been better. Yummy sangria also.
