“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“Delicious, fresh, & cheap- what’s not to love? I had the habichuelas con dulce to start & was not disappointed, it is really tasty. One of the employees there also let me sample other things which were equally as tasty. I’d definitely be back if I’m in the area.“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“Yeah I got that at the Dominican Restaurant, where at?? Inside the Delta Gas station, sounds sus??

It’s definitely going to raise eyebrows, but let me tell you, the place looks fabulous you walk into a standard gas station convenience store, turn right it’s a wrapped up beautiful fully running restaurant.

Food portions are MASSIVE! A platter with pernil, congris $15 , 2 people can eat from this- or at the very least you’ll have leftovers- unless you’re bougie . The Pollo Guisado was juicy and tender not rock chicken, penil was good. The beans are absolutely scrumptious. We legit got 3 platters, extra rice beans, extra maduro, guineo and a morir soñando (freshly made to order!) check didn’t go past $60 .

Plenty of parking, restaurant is clean and bright, service was pleasant- will return!“

“Everything was wonderful from the ambience , food and service . Celebrated my birthday with my family !! We all enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for all.“

“Five stars for the food and service! Everything we ate was delicious, especially the signature chicharrón, and the staff was super attentive. The vibe inside is good, though maybe just a little short of perfect. Still an amazing experience overall!“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“Asked ChatGPT for a good lunch spot and apparently it knows me pretty well because it recommended this place 😂

I got the rice and beans with chicken, and everything was really good. The chicken was seasoned well, flavorful, and tasted homemade. Of course, I had to get my usual chinola juice too.

Definitely enjoyed the meal and would come back again if I’m in the area.“

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.“

“The food is still delicious but the service today was definitely off. First they only made one of four orders of steak yaroa, then after waiting for another 30-45 mins we discovered that what we recieved wasn't steak but ground meat. We live in the Bronx and drove to Dyckman specifically for the steak yaroa for my birthday and was only met with disappointment. The ground meat yaroa is still very tasty but not what I went for...I will say after multiple visits back this is the first one that I've experienced this but it's not normal excusable.“

“I ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“Omg, no need to travel to Haverstraw to find good Spanish food, Fuego a la Lata in Blauvelt. has great food.“

“The restaurant is so clean, the owner is so welcoming, and the food was amazing. My husband and myself loved the food. We would Definitely come back for more. Thank you for providing a great experience , and making very delicious food .“

“We went to Tropical Sensation to celebrate the grand opening of Athena's World Travel. We had a group of 6 people and all 6 of us agree that everything about our experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was great. Our server, Sharmaine, was amazing. The food was delicious. That was our first time at the restaurant and we plan to go back again and again. There were so many great items on the menu at affordable prices. The portions were very generous.“

“Great original Dominican food! Lots of flavor and great variety. 👍👌🇩🇴“

“Beef stew and Chivo were good. Beans are ok, not great. A serving of tostones is for 2 people it seems like. 4 stars 🌟 on that. I like the potato salad with eggs but they didn't have that today. Today they had macaroni salad with Tuna but I didn't taste any tuna 1 star 🌟 for the Mac salad. Service is good. It seems like a family run business. Overall I'll give them 4 stars because of they way they treat you like family. If your in passaic and hungry pass by and you won't be sorry.“

“What a hidden gem this place is! The food is great—the beans are nice and thick, not watered down like at many other places in the area. I had the stew beef, which was incredibly flavorful and not overly salty. The rice was perfectly soft, not hard or oily. If you’re like me and appreciate food that is cooked properly, this is the place to go. I will definitely be coming back for more!“

“I had breakfast in this restaurant for 20 years they have the best mangu,the best coffee and the food is fresh and delicious. the staff is amazing. I was there today after haven't been in the neighborhood for few years and still amazing highly recommend“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“Food was very well presented. portions are enough for two. it was clean and I really appreciate that they don't tag you with an extra charge for using your debit or credit card. I will be going back for sure.“

“An uptown classic and the best place to chicharrón hands down 🐖

You walk in, order chicharrón by weight and whatever sides you want. Make sure to grab some fresh avocado and passion fruit juice.

The entire staff speaks Spanish and I’ve personally never ordered in English here so I can’t verify the experience ordering in English. The food is so good it’s worth the language barrier.

Buen provecho 🤙🏽“

“Felt like I was back in my Dominican grandmother’s kitchen. The ladies working there gave me the impression that everyone had a hand in preparing the food, and it definitely tasted homemade.

I got the pernil with rice and beans, along with some cuero, and everything was really good. The food had that comforting, home-cooked flavor that’s hard to find.

I also love their chinola juice—it’s always a must for me. Whenever I’m in the area, this is definitely one of my go-to spots.“

“We hadn't been here in a while. Looked forward. Start positive: White rice, red beans, and arroz con gandules, very good. However, on a Friday evening (7ish) , there was only 1 server for the entire section. It was not crowded. Empty tables in our section.We placed our orders right away with drinks and an appetizer. We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizer. Appetizer never arrived, but our main courses (both the same) did. The fried pork chops were overly cooked - dried excessively. They were more like fried pork chunks. Difficult to eat. Knife had a difficult time cutting the meat. Margarita was subpar at best. Management needs to step up. I am a strong supporter of local restaurants, especially Puerto Rican/Latino establishments. This restaurant is an East Harlem icon. Overall: disappointed.“

“Amazing food and huge portions! As you can tell from the picture, they really hook it up. The meat was cooked perfectly and super well-seasoned, paired with perfect rice and beans, and delicious sweet plantains. A huge standout was the salad too-it was incredibly fresh and came with a generous amount of avocado. It has that real authentic, home-cooked flavor. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat“

“Pico Y Pala is a great spot for authentic Dominican comfort food. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the roasted chicken with rice and beans, plus a side of tostones. Everything tasted fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the portions were more than generous. The staff was welcoming, service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant you'll want to visit again.“

“Amazing food. We ordered a tray of pernil and a try of yellow rice, and a container of red beans for a party. They said 12-15 people but it could have fed 20. My family couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. And for around 100 bucks ! I highly recommend“

“Best food in the 161 court area of the Bronx. Hands down. I also used them to cater my holiday party and the food was Top notch !!! Also the everyday food menu is extensive so there's something for everyone and the sandwich guy is official !!“

“The besssssttt !! $14 for two small tres golpes !!! That’s a win ! I’m from Jersey and 2 plates cost $26 . I was satisfied and the food was soo fresh! Great customer service ! Yall better come out and try it & they’re open late ! Great for the munchies“

“Service was quick and food was good. Recommend this spot. Get there early they look like they get busy“

“Gustitos is a place where you are welcomed no matter what. They treat you here with so much love and respect. I love coming here to eat or just to have a couple of beers. The ladies here are sweet and give you great customer service. I will recommend this place to anyone. Come and see for yourself. Food is on point and it definitely hits.“
