Inspired by Home, Built in New York

Dulce Vida was born from a dream to bring the comfort and richness of Colombian home cooking to the heart of New York City. Every recipe carries the warmth of our upbringing from street food staples to cherished family meals. What started as a small idea has grown into a beloved Upper East Side destination for Latin cuisine.

We cook every dish with intention. That means using fresh, high-quality ingredients and cooking techniques that honor tradition, whether it’s the slow simmer of ajiaco or the crispy perfection of a golden empanada. No shortcuts, just real Latin flavor in every bite.
