Master Critic Review

Emperador Elias Restaurant 7.8
Williamsburg
Emperador Elias blends Caribbean and Spanish influences in a lively bar-restaurant setting with TVs, music, and late hours. Mofongo, grilled meats, and seafood plates make it a useful option when you want big flavors, drinks, and a social room more than a quiet sit-down meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Mofongo with garlicky shrimp, Churrasco steak, Seafood rice (arroz con mariscos)
