“This place is everything a restaurant needs…
I tried to walk in, and was packed, but that made me want to come back two days later with my friend Brian, who actually recommended it to me.

Again packed thank god we had a reservation, tight space but is exactly what makes it special, we had a table but we decided to sit a the bar because it had a more fun vibe, Josue the bartender greeted us very warm and friendly.
This was our order
The michelada 10/10
The canelazo 10/10
Tiki martini 9/10
Ceviche 8/10
Chanchito 10/10

I asked Josue what else should I order and he mentioned the yapingacho,
And this i would never think it was going to be as good as it was because of the ingredients but believe me it works

Yapingacho 11/10

We ended singing and claping, the music selection was amazing, everyone around was having a great experience!!

If you are around or are thinking on coming by, do your self a favor and stop by.“

“is an absolute privilege for any business to get a review from me, but @krunchycueritos 🐷 left me no choice! I had to adventure all the way to Uptown Manhattan🗽on a rumor, fully prepared to be disappointed. Plot twist: the chicharrón is spectacular. 🤩 Meaty, crisp, and so good I ate it straight up with lime 🍋‍🟩 and hot sauce🌶️. Great service, spectacular flavor! Who else loves chicharrón? Have you guys been here? 👇“

“I came here for my birthday! I had such a great time! The drinks were really good! The food was very very delicious. The cake on top of the icing was the customer service, Luis was our waiter and I cannot emphasize enough on how amazing he was! I will absolutely be back again, great staff, great music, great food. Overall just a nice place to go grab a bite, drinks, birthday or relax. You won’t regret coming here!“

“Incredible tasty churasco, incredible service, great atmosphere. Music was great and not overbearing. Everyone was so friendly and the owner came out to talk to us and was so nice. Came out from the Bronx to visit this spot. Will definitely be back!“

“I had a quarter chicken, “small” fried rice (gigantic), and a few more stuff by recommendation from the staff (lomo empanada, a drink??? It’s purple, and a cookie) EVERYTHING WAS SOOOO GOOD Please visit it’s out of the way but it’s worth it for the food and especially the green sauce!!!“

“No matter how many times I come to Brasier, the service is always extraordinary and amazing. The food is delicious, the ladies’ welcoming attitude and attention are unmatched, and every cocktail is perfect. Ahhh… and the Happy Hour? Truly second to none in New York City. Great music, great food, and a great time — only at Brasier.“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“This place has been a staple for me for more than a decade. The food is authentic Ecuadorian cuisine that brings me right back home, and the service is always kind and attentive. It’s simple, cozy, and welcoming. proof that you don’t need fancy to feel good and eat well. I’m grateful to have this restaurant in the community.“

“Absolutely stellar experience at Mirabella's Latina Cocina! The carne asada was perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Their handcrafted margaritas were a delightful treat, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Arturo, the proprietor, brought a special touch to the evening with his charming Latin hospitality, making us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. To top it all off, the tres leches dessert was the best I've ever had, a sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Get there soon before this hidden gem in West Chester becomes too popular—it's the best-kept secret around!“

“We shared a GUACAMOLE with plantain chips. It was fresh and flavorful. I had the FAROE ISLAND SALMON. The salmon was flavorful and well done on the outside and moist on the inside. My husband enjoyed his medium CHURRASCO 14OZ. The drinks were strong 💪. I recommend this place. I enjoyed the old school salsa music.“

“muy buena atención y rica comida“

“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.“

“First time eating here5/20/25 for lunch and baby when I say I will be back . everything was amazing honesty I had a lil gravy on my finger and being next thing i know I ate the food right in front of the place i didn’t even get a chance to to pull off“

“Xavier went above and beyond to help me because I am vegan! Im so grateful because I was alittle worried if it would be easy to order here. Thanks Xavier for making my life easier as soon as I stepped in the door!!! I will definitely recommend others!“

“A true authentic Dominican experience. This is the closest flavors to the food I grew up with, compared to what I've had at home and from visiting family in Dominican Republic. No gate-keeping! I want to make sure they get all the love and recognition they deserve. What incredible food, the options rotate daily, they don't have a menu. Not even sure if they have a phone, so just pop in and get your fix! The lady working the counter is incredibly sweet and you can tell cares for her patrons and the community.

Sin duda una de la mejores comida Dominicana en el alto Manhattan, y son bien amable.“

“The food was decent. For the lunch specials, we had guatita, which was very good. We also had the carne soup, and that was very good as well. The sopa de queso was not good, though. We tried the churrasco, and it was okay, but I would have preferred the Colombian version. To drink, we had colada, which is like Quaker juice, and it was good and sweet.
I’m from Ecuador, and my mom cooks a lot better, so maybe I’m a little picky. I’m not trying to put the business down because it was definitely very affordable, but it just wasn’t really my taste. Other than that, for a good lunch, it was okay.“

“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%“

“Excelente comida me encanta“

“There’s no way her food is even real !
If you’re looking for a takeout spot that never disappoints, this is it.
The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The mac and cheese is my favorite and a must try ; rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
The juices are refreshing, and the desserts are easily a 10/10.
Everything is a 10/10 actually

On top of that, the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Highly recommend giving this place a try :)“

“Stick to breakfast food and you will be fine. Do not order salads and other items in the menu. They make good bagels, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon and fries. The pastries and desserts are also really good. Make sure to only order those things.“

“My husband and I live right down the street and always pass this place when driving home. We decided this morning to pop in. I love that's it's most likely family owned as we own a family owned business also. We love to give our business to small local businesses. We ordered the chicken and rice and beans and it was well seasoned and cooked. Very tasty. We will definitely be back to try another item off the menu.“

“Yesterday I placed an order for white rice, beans and baked chicken ❤️❤️it was not good it was great❤️❤️❤️I highly recommend it. Today I ordered the Mangu, salami and fried cheese. It is called the Spanish breakfast!! Can't wait to try it. The bad thing is that they have soooo many different gummies to eat that it is hard to choose lmao.“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“This little gem of a restaurant serves some of the best Dominican food I have eaten in my entire life.

Marinated grilled steak, roast chicken, fried plantains, Mofongo, fried Yucca… Everything is delicious, the restaurant is a beautiful little gem box, and the owner is elegant and wonderful.

The prices are modest we loved everything.“

“This is a new find for me, and wow! I'm hooked in their skirt steak. Perfect seasoned and tender. I've had the chicken soup at lunch and it's just like an old Latin, Caribbean grandmas recipe. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Hackensack!“

“Great place staff is good ppl nice“

“Although very chaotic when ordering The food here is spot on most of the meals I get from here make me take a nap at lunch which is a good thing I do recommend this place's food just make sure to go when it's not so crowded it feels like the stock exchange“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service exceeded all of my expectations. A special thank you to Marilu for making my event such a wonderful experience. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted.

Her positive attitude and outstanding customer service made all the difference. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about every guest the way she does. I will definitely be back and won’t hesitate to host future events here. Five stars all the way!“

“👍 perfect........................“

“Best chicharrón you'd ever taste. I can't leave without getting some. I have 4 food spots I drive over an hour to on purpose, out of my way, to get their food; this is one of them. The staff is quick and efficient, they are always on top of everything and you be crazy not to take a step in and be hypnotized by the smells of some of the most mouth-watering flavors you'll ever try in your life.“

“Good atmosphere, good music, excellent service and great food. We were 4 people and we ordered 8 beers, 4 crowns, 4 models and different dishes, seafood paella, salmon fillet, toxic mofongo and churrasco, we also ordered a combo to take away and we didn't spend more than 250, definitely the place I'm going to eat when I return to the Bronx,❤️“

“Excellent food service in an unassuming area - highly recommend !“

“New Restaurant!! lets support!!“
