“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“Excellent!“

“Always clean, friendly and best of all such yummy food!! Soups are great!! Pastelon Delicious!! Breakfast…sooo good!“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“La comida es muy deliciosa,fresca,“

“I come to this restaurant at least three times a month, and I’ve been going here for 15 years. It’s truly great—the food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best tres leches, and everything they make tastes consistently good and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“i ate here for the first time and got mofongo and a limeade. the mofongo was delicious and they give you a generous serving of gravy! it’s classic dominican, exactly what you’d expect. the mofongo does take a bit long bc it’s made fresh but the waitresses were nice and accommodating. a casual atmosphere with good food“

“Everything is great here!“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“we used them for our wedding, 60 people flowed through nice and easy and everyone moved their food. the mac and cheese balls were absolutely amazing but all the food was.“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“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!“

“This place is hands down the BEST Dominican fritura spot in NYC! The food is delicious, full of flavor and FRESH. The service was phenomenal and Laysha was amazing. She put us on to the best items on the menu and we walked out completely full, satisfied and beyond happy. I’ll be posting a Reel and video on TikTok (@radiantcin). Gracias por esta comida deliciosa y buen servicio 🫶🏽👏🏽🇩🇴We also created a new name for their dish pictured here!!! Tierra & Alas!“

“They Got Some Banging Empanadas And Some Good Milkshakes. They Also Have The Good Dominican Food Chimichurri, Mangu, Yaroa, Etc..“

“Stopped by for breakfast. The 4 Golpes, let me tell you… worth every bite. The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and made with real love. Rudy, the owner, was amazing and super attentive, making the whole experience feel even more special.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. Support local, support good food, and support people who truly care about their craft.“

“Excelente servicio! Muy buena calidad en la comida“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“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 had a delicious breakfast here. Passing through the neighborhood and wanted some hot food, not breakfast sandwiches or pastries. I had mangu, sausage, and egg. My husband had rice and pork with a soda. Less than $20 together. The staff was friendly. Counter seating inside or.2 small.tablea outside.“

“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“

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

“The food is extremely good. The place itself is a bit hot and cramped. They're cash only. Portions are bigger if you eat in (way too much to finish) but God value either way. For my money, it's the best well-rounded meal in midtown.“

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

“So yummy!! We got chicken, fish, and beef and all were delicious. Each meal comes with beans and rice and is a good value for the food and location. We also shared 4 meals (they gave us an extra plate and cutlery set) between 5 adults and had plenty of food!“

“DELICIOUS. The Chacá (maíz craquiao/sweet corn) is really good. I’m from PA and don’t come to NY at all, but anytime I have to cross the GW Bridge for whatever reason, I have to stop by the corner of W. 182nd / St Nicholas in the Bronx ( I think that’s the Bronx). I haven’t tried the habichuelas con dulce, but sometimes they have rice pudding (Arroz con leche) and it is also good. The habichuelas must be really good also because everyone on the line in front of me ordered the habichuelas con dulce. I left from my house in PA at around 9AM when I checked to see what time they open, Google has their hours from noon to 8pm. I arrived to NY at around 10:45AM hoping they were going to be there already, and they were. They were just getting set up and there were also other people waiting to get this delicious sweet treat. I guess they open at 11AM. One thing I didn’t see was their price list. I heard someone getting charged $9 for the big cup and I got charged $10. I’m not sure if that person got the habichuelas or the sweet corn and/or if the habichuelas and the sweet corn have the same price. They should list the prices so some people that are not from the area or don’t go there often think they are getting overcharged. If you pass by the area, stop by and get yourself some Cachá or habichuelas con dulce. By the way, the people selling are very nice and have been on that corner for many years.“

“Tienen que visitar este gran y majestuoso restaurante lo bien que se come!!“

“If you're looking for some of the best Dominican food in the US, it's here - down a few steps, in this pool hall. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the habichuelas (beans). The gallina was tender to the point it was falling off the bone, and the rice was fluffy and full of flavor. This is truly a place where you can taste the love.“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“Food always fresh and delicious & very reasonably priced - Been my secret treasure 10+ years - the owner's work as hard as employees & greet everyone as family.
Best suited to go or for a small group to eat in for lunch.“

“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.“

“I love this hidden gem, the food here reminds me of my grandma cooking. I order the bake chicken with white rice and red beans with a passion fruit juice . The chicken was cooked to perfection so tender and juicy and it fell off the bone when I picked it up“

“I finally made it to Cocina Papa Andres after seeing all the hype on social media and it absolutely lived up to it. I ordered the chimi de carne de res, and it instantly took me back to the Dominican Republic.

The sauce was spot on, the meat was juicy and full of flavor (not dry at all), and the bread had that perfect texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also nailed the balance with the cabbage.

Hands down, this is the best chimi I’ve had in New Jersey. Honestly, it can compete with some of the best chimis I’ve had in Washington Heights and Dyckman in New York.

I’ll definitely be coming back regularly, already looking forward to trying their fritura platters.“

“Very authentic Dominican food at a great price. The people here are super friendly.
I had the sancocho with rice and a mofongo de pernil, both cooked the traditional way and full of flavor. Portions were generous, everything tasted homemade and was affordable (extra charge for credit card). Simple, honest Dominican food with no frills. Would come back.“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“I stopped by this little restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. I ordered a mangú con tres golpes and it was absolutely on point, well prepared, flavorful, and just the comfort food I was craving. The jugo de Chinola was not overly sweet and it was just right and refreshing, as it should be.

The service was just as great. Yadira took care of us with a big smile, quick service, and genuine kindness that made the experience even better. For such a small spot, it really delivers in both taste and hospitality.

Recommended 100%“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“For the first time I visited this fried food and I can tell you that I loved it, from the quality, the flavor, the portion that was too much and the price, not to mention super economical, we ordered a varied tray, a hotdog and a juice and everything was very delicious and the preparation was very Quick, I will definitely come back ?“

“this restaurant is by far one of the best Spanish restaurants in the area. They make you feel like family and they go out theieyway so you feel welcome and make you go back. Best part is the PRICES you get plenty of food for a very good price. 5 star ⭐️ for this location.“

“Best Dominican food..Not only because it’s affordable but also delicious! And service is amazing! They accidently gave me two orders of each plate that I ordered and charged me for it, then I told them there was a mistake and they refunded without any problems! Thank you Tropical! Love you guys!“

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

“This is my favorite local spot, the staff is the best & the food �������“

“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 !!“

“Just moved to town from Hudson County so we def know about good Spanish food. Only had some pernil so far but it was delicious, skin was nice and crunchy. The rest of the food there looked great too. Can't wait to go back and try the rest“

“The prices are great, the staff is really friendly. The food is amazing! And I don't eat just any Caribbean food. You'll love this place!“
