“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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“

“Lovely Dominican diner and the food was incredible. Everything tasted so good and had that true Dominican flavor. Our server was very nice and courteous as well. I ordered the chicarron with rice and beans and tostones. The chicarron had the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and tenderness in the middle.“

“DELICIOUS! Best mofongo & chicharron in Manhattan. Takes exactly like the one in PR that my family serves me. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and the chicharron is so incredibly crispy but still fatty. Was perfect for takeout and I’ll def be going back all the time“

“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.“

“Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)“

“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...“

“Generous portions and reasonable prices. The chicken stew and pork shoulder are great. Pair that with some beans and plantains for an excellent meal. Their empanadas are my favorite in the area. Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside“

“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“

“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected“

Como me llamo la muchacha mas que rueda gracias a ustedes de parte de mi y mi familia“

“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.“

Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“Great experience. The horses seem well taken care of and the guides were wonderful. It was a great excursion off of the resort for the family. Highly recommend and would certainly do it again!“

“I just ordered the tastiest Cuban sandwich I have tried. It was pressed so toasty and crispy. I had the waitress add extra pickles and garlic. They make the drink “Morirsoñando” (like a creamsicle) with freshly squeezed orange juice and it brought me back to how my grandma used to make it. I will definitely come back to try more dishes- their daily lunch specials caught my eye so it gives me more of a reason to return!“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“Food is affordable, large portions and very delicious

Unfortunately the people in the area aka the ones who’s lives matter should be the only concern.

The fatigue is real with these people all over America but an angel must be watching over this restaurant“

“Great food the young lady that takes my order on the phone a nice person always gets it right when it's delivered it's delivered with great presentation the salad looks fabulous it tastes wonderful but everything that you order they show a nice presentation the amount is very generous the prices are really great but more than anything else these are DR people true DR are cooking the taste fabulous. I'm puerto rican but the Dominican food is a little different than the puerto rican food but it brings home memories of PR and DR when I used to go visit on vacation now I'm an old lady I don't travel much but going to this restaurant brings back great memories if you have the time pass by you won't waste your time or your money it's a great place God-bless all“
