Very busy Spanish restaurant. Eat in or takeout. We took out. The woman helping us was very patient and helpful. The food turned out to be very affordable, plus juicy. And delicious. Place is clean, with a few tables available, and comfortably air conditioned.<br>Quiet, and a nice atmosphere. Unlike the parking availability. ♿️

I grew up on the food it's delicious service is excellent 👌
I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered what was supposed to be a simple lunch, and somehow ended up paying almost $40, which is completely unreasonable for what I received.<br><br>The way the food was served was frustrating. They packed the tray almost entirely with plain white rice, leaving barely any room for the actual main items. I only got a few small pieces of meat because of that. Then, instead of including sides properly, they asked about soup and salad after closing the tray and served them in separate containers—only to charge everything separately at the register.<br><br>To make matters worse, I wasn’t given a receipt, which is unacceptable. I will be disputing the transaction with my bank.<br><br>On top of that, the staff was not friendly or welcoming at all.<br><br>Overall, this felt like a rip-off. I do not recommend this place—stay away.
I love this place I come here literally every day to eat.I stay in the bronx and I travel all the way to queens to me.It's the best spanish spot that i've tried.And I haven't lived in new york that long, but it's excellent.So you should definitely try them.
My partner went here n he didn’t like their customer service. Said the Man was very rude l, barely acknowledged him. The woman was nice n hospital. He got beef stew and rice. The food was bland. I ate some with him. Right off the back we did not enjoy it.
Everything is incredibly expensive. Any simple dish costs between $20 and $30; it's too much, and sometimes the food isn't very good. I like the restaurant. I've been ordering here for a while, but I can't stand the prices anymore. I've been to other Dominican restaurants, and they're not as expensive as here. They're way over the top with the prices. I don't recommend it.
I found a WORM in my oxtail. Absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable. I ordered oxtail with rice and beans, and while eating, I discovered a worm in the food. This wasn’t a bone, tendon, or seasoning—it was clearly a worm, and I have photos to prove it.<br><br>This raises serious concerns about the cleanliness, food handling, and overall safety of this establishment. I stopped eating immediately and saved the food.<br><br>To anyone thinking of ordering from here: please be extremely cautious. Check your food thoroughly before eating. Just because something looks cooked doesn’t mean it’s safe.<br><br>I’m writing this review not out of anger, but to help protect others — especially families with kids, pregnant women, or anyone vulnerable. No one expects to find a worm in their food, but it happened to me, and it could happen to someone else.
They have their own prices made up, their menu prices advertised is not their actual price. They have several menus in the restaurant including the one right above the cash register but charges you more and when I pointed out to the kid working there, he said they can’t control inflation and he can’t do anything about the prices. There was no manager on duty to assist so I’d have to come back when the manager is on shift. Ask the price before purchasing
Absolutely amazing! The home fries, scrambled eggs, and bacon were perfect. They packed it with about 8 strips of fresh, crispy bacon—opened it up and thought, 'My man!' Everything was delicious and generously portioned. I live in The Bronx, but I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!
I've been coming to this place for almost 20 years and I'm a bit surprised I haven't left a review on here, well better late than never. This spot is one of the more better Spanish Restaurants in the Queens area and used to be one of the more cheaper spots before Inflategate 2021 but I digress. Where most spots would decline in quality after soaring price increases, the food here is still very much as good as it was when I first set foot here back in my Senior year of High School. There's also a lot of variation with what they have so anything you're looking for, chances are they'll have that ready to order. Aside from the entrees, my highest recommendation goes to the plantains and empanadas. They're cooked so well and tender and not overdone like a couple other spots I know. Whenever you're in the South Ozone Park area and hungry for something, check this place out. I've been a regular here since 2006.
Rice- 7/10 I Prefer For My Spanish Rice To Have Pigeon Peas & Sausage.<br><br>Plantains- 9/10 Only Complaint. Could’ve Been Cooked A Tad Bit Longer<br><br>Pork- 10/10 It Was Simply Delicious.<br><br>Overall 9/10 I Will Be Returning.
This place is amazing!!! Authentic dominican food @ its best !!! Truly one of the best Latin restaurants Outside of D.R. If you like or are accustomed to bland food this place is definitely not for you Anything you can think of from steak & onions to rotisserie chicken and everything in between . avoid this place @ or around lunch time because the lines are out the door . reasonably priced , a bit loud at times but overall a great atmosphere , fresh food , friendly staff , clean bathroom. Don’t park in the bus stop in the front of the restaurant, the ticket will cost you more the the food.
Ordered and paid CASH for the food to be delivered.The food speaks for itself and the manager didn’t want to give me a Refund when I called to complain how disgusting the food looks.The Manager said it’s store Policy. No refund. I even expressed if I eat this food and get sick I can take this to the Food department. In return the manager had no concern when I made that point. Also said I will be out on a block list. So I Had to fight for my Refund over the phone asked for a name and didn’t want to provide a name. Please DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE!!!!!<br><br>11/12/22.
Stopped here after getting back from JFK. I was craving some Dominican food. I found it on here myself. When I entered this place, I was shocked to see that they had full blown meals ready by 9:30am. Sancocho, stewed chicken, different types of rice etc. I ordered a small mangu and what I noticed is that they fry the eggs right before your eyes. They also have sweets and the classic empanadas. The food was delicious and although it might seem like a pain waiting in line, that is always a good sign. Due to COVID, there is not a seating area available. Also you have to park on the street. Don’t forget to use the meters!
Always Amazing Food, Boss Flavors And They Don't Hold Back On The Portions...If You Get A Chance To Meet The Owner She's Super Friendly And Never Forgets U<br><br>Ohh PS That Mango Chow Was Mine LOL
