Dominican Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“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.“

“I ordered delivery from their website. No third party delivery service and it felt GREAT! I just paid for my food and gave a tip to the delivery person. I am so grateful that El Tina’s still does this.

We ordered the oxtail. It was delicious! So meaty and full of flavor. We also ordered the pernil which was very tasty and tostones with garlic sauce.

The food came piping hot and quickly. I cannot wait to order from Tina’s again.

Thank you for being such a great place in Riverdale.“

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

“I had a construction project in the neighborhood so i decided to try some Dominican food. I chose the right place; food was delicious. Even the girls didn't speak much English but they try their best to communicate with me.
Bathroom was extremely CLEAN !
I recommend this place to eat your lunch.

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

“this place has been open since i was a kid, and as I've grown, it faded off and on of my radar, but when i went back today, i fell in love with it all over again. the waiters and staff are friendly and polite, and all of the food is so fresh and well prepared. i will say the tostones did need some salt, but other than that, im glad i rediscovered this childhood fav of mine ☺️“

“I have a taste of this every other week and I don’t think there is any going back 🤩
There’s a noticeable rush but the employees have a great dynamic that makes the service fast and reliable. Best chicken ever!!
Sigan así mi gente 🇩🇴❤️“

“Super delicious staff are so nice“

“Ordered the family meal with bistec encebollado which my family loved, the white rice could have been better, there was a staple on the bottom of the rice, I am to assume they were grappling and one flew to the tin, not a big deal the family loved the food.

I ordered a mofongo de cerdo, it was not the best; the pork had rib pieces (which I have never had pork like this with mofongo) and the meat was
burnt beyond being edible, I wish the mofongo was more garlicky, the sauce was yummy but again the burnt pieces of pork was somewhat disappointing. If you are a monfingo enthusiast, please do not get your hopes up.

I ordered for delivery.“

“I call July 2 2022 because in 2008 I was realized to university 1812 Palisades for sing sing my birth day is at the end of this month I wait year to years after living there to find out if I had kids from that house so if I do I want the relationship to go there me and my sister's and brother had. To find out if I can't make it I don't wish meals“

“Great food & the service is great ....Waiters are always smiling...Great atmosphere“

“Good service, good prices, personalized attention. Clean tidy place. If they don't have what you are looking for ready, they prepare it for you on the spot. I ordered pork chops with rice and beans, delicious. Reasonable prices. Crispy and tasty tostones. I recommend it.“

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

“its relaxing ,people are nice outstanding service and fast.. either you are with family, friends or a date you going to enjoy your time there don'tforgetthe free parkingin the rear.. try it you'lllove it.“

“Great food and it’s all super fresh. They even have a different menu based on the day of the week. The owner Georgina knows everyone’s name who comes in and is so nice. Really a great neighborhood spot.
I got a huge portion and a glass of wine for $22“

“The food was delicious, especially the chicharron; crunchy and full of flavor. The only negative was the cashier denying a few more plastic cups to another customer even when he offered to pay extra for them. She wasn't mean but lacked customer service.“

“I ordered the pork chunks and Dominican cheese as appetizer. it was enough for a meal. Absolutely outstanding. highly recommendthis place..“

“Un buen establecimiento para almorzar en especial el mondongo con arroz y aguacate y más un sábado al mediodía y viendo los juegos en vivo“

“Im a weekly client here, this lil spot always comes thru on those late work days, rice and beans, roasted chicken, soups, u name it... as close to home cooked as u will ever get, staff is quick and good size portions

Vegetarian options: Steamed veggies, rice and beans, soups, spagettis, plantains(green,yellow)“

“Delicious food and always happy people“

“The location is very convenient, but parking can be a problem. The place is pulsating with energy and aromatic smells from the other kitchen. The service is quick and robotic, the prices have gotten steep. While the chicken is tasty, it tends to be dry especially the breast of the chicken. The rice is tasty and the overall experience is good. I will go back.“

“When I Entered This Place My First Impression Was Enough for me to know that they would give 100% so that I, as well as any client who arrives, would leave Formidably Satisfied. When it comes to businesses with this type of concept, I could say that this is the cleanest I have ever visited in my life, everything impeccable. The atmosphere is super pleasant, music at an appropriate volume for the place. No matter how difficult your day was, if you come here you will have an experience so good that you will leave the place happy. As for the food, ufff, The Best Quipes in NY are here, some delicious croquettes, and the Yaroa Delicious. It has a very extensive menu and a lot of variety to choose from. I come back soon and often.“

“🤠 u want good food go there“

“Yala is such a kind and friendly person, plus her food is delicious. I called to specify that I wanted a dompling because the app did not give me the option to choose the dompling. She took the call and it was a pleasure to speak with such a kind, attentive and pleasant person. Thanks yala. 10/10“

“The food is very good as well as the service here. Very nice staff and the food tastes awesome, though I only get rice and beans and vegetables when I come here due to being vegan, and never have been disappointed. However, those who eat differently can see the wonderful food in the display. I highly recommend this place!!!!!!!!??? ?“

“I've been going to this place for over 20+ years with my family! It remains one of the best places to get crispy pork and rice and beans in the bronx! New owners have come along and other dishes they sell dont really hold up to the level of the pork. Stick with the crispy pork and you will be in 5 star heaven!“

“Honestly, this is one of the best Dominican restaurants in the city, but what really won me over was the beans. They're so good and I never really go for beans at most restaurants. Only thing that holds them back is the lack of chicken on occasion.“

“Tropicalz has long been a staple on the Grand Concourse, and for good reason—it consistently delivers delicious food with warm, friendly service. This isn’t just a chicken and rice spot; it’s a go-to destination for comfort food done right.

The rotisserie chicken is nothing short of perfection—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to golden-brown excellence. Their chicharrón is equally impressive, with just the right balance of crispy and tender. The portions are generous, and the rice ties it all together, creating a meal that feels both satisfying and indulgent.

Tropicalz reminds us why it’s a local favorite. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal or indulging in their famous rotisserie chicken and sides, you know exactly what you’re getting: high-quality, delicious food served with a smile. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious… romantic… super clean…Thank you Yajaira for the great service!“

“This was a celebratory gathering for a colleague's birthday. The bar setting wasn't quite a vibe I enduldge in regularly but if you're looking for a place to socialize, drink and watch sports. This place has it all going at once.
My most favorite aspect was the food. For a social sports bar. I was pleasantly surprised at food options offered. I am a vegan, keto, vegetarian 🥵 yes I know! Its a mouthful but my allergies call for a specific diet to maintain optimum health. I digress, they offered 3 types of French fries, Buffalo cauliflower, sautéed garlic broccoli. All fit me narrow feeding needs. So need a place for a diverse dining?? This is a great store to try out“

“Johnny's fried chicken is the best“

“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 !!“

“I Order the pernil with rice and beans and Platanos. I always get a dessert. I’ve ordered just about everything on the menu already. They have individual servings and for groups. I recommend to friends, family, businesses and group gathering’s. They never disappoint. Been a loyal customer for over 20 years now. I always get wine. Beautiful decor welcoming clean amazing fast service“

“I recently ate here and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The warm ambiance and rustic decor created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal.Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the Spanish chicken. The menu boasted a variety of flavorful dishes, each showcasing the chef’s expertise in combining traditional Spanish flavors with a modern twist. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior that left my taste buds dancing.The appetizers were equally impressive, with options ranging from patatas bravas to chorizo croquettes. Each bite was a burst of Spanish authenticity. The chef’s commitment to using high-quality ingredients was evident, enhancing the overall dining experience.The drink menu featured a well-curated selection of Spanish wines and cocktails that complemented the meal superbly. The sangria, in particular, was a refreshing choice that added to the festive atmosphere of the restaurant.What truly stood out was the attention to detail in presentation. Each dish was a work of art on the plate, showcasing the chef’s dedication to not only taste but also aesthetics.As for the dessert, the churros were a delightful way to end the meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and accompanied by rich chocolate dipping sauce—a sweet ending to a savory journey.In summary, this Spanish chicken restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the inviting ambiance to the delectable dishes, every aspect of the dining experience was carefully crafted. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Spain with a modern flair. ¡Delicioso! Highly recommend“

“The food here was great. The empanadas, the rice, the beans, and more were delicious. The woman behind the counter is extremely nice and caring. The restaurant is clean and convivial. Would recommend to all who enjoy the flavors of Dominican Food/Latin cuisine.“

“Great food. I can't complain about the flavor here. However, the service of the workers here is marginal. My experience is a perfect example; ask for a lunch of rice, beans, sweet fried plantains, and stewed chicken. The woman added a bunch of rise into the container along with the beans and the. Charged me separately for the stewed chicken and a bunch of sweet plantains in a container too when all I wanted was like 2-3 pieces of the sweet plantains in the same bowl as a lunch style and pay for just that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“muy. buen servicio buena comida mucha higiene me encanta“

“So, I came here because I was craving some Dominican chicken soup. They didn't have it ready when I went but it's fine. I ended up ordering the tripe soup. The soup was quite tasty and had a generous amount of vegetables. I had no problems placing the order and found the staff very pleasant and welcoming. It probably doesn't hurt to speak decent Spanish, but honestly, if you're in New York, speaking a little Spanish is helpful. Prices were fair and service was fast. All in all, I would recommend eating here.

Parking: Parking is a little difficult here, but what can you do?“

“Food was delicious and fresh! Prices are very reasonable but above all the food was amazing! We had the baked chicken, stew chicken, Pernil all with yellow rice and we order plantains as well. 10/10 for everything. Whenever we want Spanish food this is our go to spot!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and the service was professional and courteous. I had the breaded fish, rice and potato salad with lentils and a coffee, $21 +tip
I would definitely recommend and visit again. The restaurant was a little chilly but otherwise clean. Spanish music played in the background.“

“Just had soup. Very good. Employees very nice, good service. Reasonable prices. Very busy. Little tables. Comfortable, nice atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Place is friendly to everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level.“

“Excelente lugar para una buena reunión“

“Half of the space is setup as a dance place. Romantic lighting, a bar, and dance music. It seemed very nice if that's what you want. But the music was very loud- if you were just there to eat. The food is delicious and the staff is extremely nice and professional.“
