“Dining at FITO from the booking on was a pleasure. Felix, the manager, showed true ownership when the online reservation system kept freezing. The next day I added two people too my reservation in the notes and Felix quickly sent me a confirmation. This sense of care was clearly seen by all his staff as well. When I arrived, I added another two people on and the host quickly moved tables and umbrellas around to accommodate my request. He worked with on the best way to do billing for a large party gave attentive service all while seating people and acting as the host. Felix personally made and delivered our drinks. All the food and drinks were delicious. They truly existed to make my night easier, which is huge when organizing and hosting a large group. There aren't many places in the area that make you feel like you belong and you matter and Fito does that and more!“

“Pork rind lovers, get ready for an explosion of flavor! Krunchy Cueritos is my new gastronomic sanctuary in the city. Each bite of their chicharrones is a direct trip to Dominican paradise. The perfect combination of crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, simply irresistible! If you are looking for a quick and delicious culinary experience, this is the right place. The only thing I would like is for them to improve customer service a bit ✌️“

“Súper recomendada rumba latina“

“se ve muy deliciosa la comida y muy higiénica..“

“I had a great experience at Cañave restaurant! My server, Robersy, was fantastic and recommended a few beers I hadn’t tried before, they were all spot on! She really knew her stuff and made the experience even better. The live music gave the place a fun and lively atmosphere, and the lighting made everything feel warm and welcoming. The murals of Frida Kahlo and Cantinflas are stunning and add so much character to the restaurant. It’s a great spot with good drinks, great service, and a vibrant vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Everything is AMAZING! I highly recommend Bonfire to everyone!“

“Very comfy atmosphere and friendly hosting.“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“Love this place. Is on the $“

“I ordered mixed bolon and it was excellent...my relatives ordered wadding, sausage broth, fried food...the fried food did not have the Ecuadorian flavor...the rest were very kind and attentive people...ahh and the delicious blackberry juice ?“

“I should’ve asked prior to ordering the chicken chunks if it were made with chicken breast or dark meat. Unfortunately I thought it was the usual white meat but I was wrong. Other than that the quantity was well served and the food was good. There are certain items that require a few minutes to make out of the menu. The service was well and the location was clean. They have a few outdoor tables.“

“best food, great atmosphere“

“Celebrated an anniversary. They made it very special with signs and announcements. Food could be better...it's nothing special. Drinks were over priced and didn't taste too good. Music was good though. It was a Saturday night and was very empty but we left around 10ish“

“Great food and drinks Great atmosphere. Professional staff.“

“Ive been on a journey to dine in family owned restaurants and avoid big chains. I’m so glad we found this spot today! Its homey and cozy - service is great and the food was delicious! We ordered: Lomo, chicken, chaufa, ceviche and flan. Prices were fair and I can’t wait to come back here. I hope this neighborhood appreciates the flavors because I don’t have this near my apartment.“

“We recently ordered through Uber Eats and were so impressed, we can’t wait to visit in person!

My husband was craving mofongo and fried fish. We tried the mofongo de chicharrón, which was absolutely amazing, and the mofongo de camarones, which we felt was a bit less flavorful.

My husband mentioned that the shrimp wasn’t mashed into the mofongo, which was a bit different from what he’s used to.

Personally, I love my mofongo with mashed pork and the protein on top, and I thought the mofongo tasted fantastic. The fried fish was also a highlight—well-cleaned, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was, especially since it had traveled 30 minutes to get to us. Can’t wait to try it fresh in the restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“This is it—Sazon Stizzy is the spot you’ve been looking for! If you’re driving past 238th St in the Bronx, do yourself a favor and stop here. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you don’t.

From the moment you sit down, the magic begins. The inviting aroma of the food immediately hits you, and any worries you had seem to melt away as your cravings take over. But it’s when you actually get to taste the food that the real experience starts. Boom—a flavor explosion like nothing you’ve ever had before!

The flavors here are incredible and intense, a true testament to the care and passion that goes into every dish. Whether you’re trying something new or sticking with a favorite, every bite is packed with seasoning and spices that dance on your palate. Be careful, though—this food is so good, it might just send you into flavor shock!

Sazon Stizzy isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor, to enjoy, and to experience something truly special. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this gem. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z“

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,❤️“

“Una baina bien a otro nivel“

“The food was great it really reminds me of my moms cooking! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and really reminds me of DR. The service was also amazing all of the restaurant staff were so kind looking forward to trying more food here :)“

“The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. I wandering into this establishment randomly on a walk to get some brunch. This place did not disappoint. Everything was filling and seasoned/ spiced to perfection. I will be returning.“

“Yummy yummy.Great for when you forget to take the meal your wife cook for you to work.They have pineapples watermelons and other fruits on the go perfect for when you're just done with the gym.They also do catering which is on point plenty to choose from and they'll make whatever you want.I definitely recommend this place it's great for people like me that don't have time to make a meal so instead of eating boring McDonald's and all that other garbage around that area stop by check them out and if you like home cook meals then this is the spot. You're in and out within 10 minutes tops. You tried the rest now try the best. Always love to support small businesses especially that put time and energy into their meals and don't do small portions like most places you will get a lot of meat for your buck. I'd like to let you people know that I honestly enjoyed the food you guys cooked and always recommend them to my friends I am usually in Lodi so I take a drive down to Hackensack just so I can get the delicious meals that they prepare. I know I may be boring but my favorite one is chicken franchise "chicken with lemon" ?It is on point and I feel like I could eat that 100 times a day LOL. All right enough of me rambling just wanted to let you guys know that this is Justin certified“

“Súper bien Volver orto ves“

“I liked that restaurant because we went to celebrate our daughter's birthday and we asked if they could sing the birthday and they said yes and they surprised us with a cake without thinking, that's why I say that the service was very good.“

“love love , Nothing but Family .....“

“Stopped here while running errands and I had the best lentejas ever! I do realize it was later in the day on a Monday so I’m not holding them to a high standard, but the food was good the service was good and the atmosphere was ok. Some random ppl kept walking in and out but other than that ? solid food if you want Dominican home cooked type of meal.“

“Good food, large portion, great price!I love going here for a quick lunch, the food is always good, the portions are large, and the price is great. I love the stewed chicken, white rice, and beans with salad, and fresh passion fruit juice. The best $13 I’ve spent on lunch all week! I also got a second platter for dinner lol $26 for lunch and dinner, you can’t go wrong!!!“

“Yum. Loved combo #1 for my family, chicken + rice + beans + tostones. Thank you!“

“excelente comida y atencion“

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

“Burgos transports you to the Dominican Republic, not just because of the food, but by the people and the whole atmosphere. There is a steady stream of locals getting takeout from the counter. As such, table service may seem a bit slow. The food is very reasonably priced, with lunch specials around $13-$15. If you want a meal that keeps you full the whole day, try the mofongo de pollo. The tostones ($5) is a delicious side dish.“

“Dietary restrictions: Let them know your problems and they are sure to assist you in any way

Parking: Find a spot and it's yours lol always parking available

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp plus handicap parking“

“I decided to try this place out early Saturday afternoon. It was fairly packed. I got 3 beef empanadas and tried to get 1 guayaba one but I think they ran out. The lady gave me a crab one instead. It was probably mixed in somewhere next to the Guayaba one. I didn't mind - it was also good. Parking may pose a challenge if you plan on trying them out.“

“I truly appreciate this establishment. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and the service is equally impressive. The staff members are exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which creates a welcoming atmosphere. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who is a remarkable individual. He owns several successful businesses and serves as an inspiration to many.“

“Excelente comida me encanta“

“The woman that took my order was very nice. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a roll and the bacon had just enough salt that made the sandwich very enjoyable. Coffee was made to Perfection as well.She also let me sample the fried pork n it was D'Lish!!?Seasoned so perfectly n tender that ordered some to go?Will definitely visit this place again when I go to Hackensack, NJ again.“

“Ordered the Cuban Sandwich! Delicious! Can’t wait to try other menu items!!“

“Es alto bolón de chicharrón, huma, and a jugo de mora.

Oliver excellent nothing was too sweet nor too salty. The bolón had a beautiful crust to it and the inside is really nice soft and the chadron was also very tender.

The Amita had a nice amount of cheese on it not too sweet some pieces of corn.

Super excited to try this place again soon“

“Just noticed this place a few weeks ago in passing, and I must say, it's worth the stop. As soon as I walked in, I recognized that it was a family orientated business, which I thought was great!!! The food was and still continues to be phenomenal ? I am certainly going back, and I recommend everyone stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Chow??“
