Dominican Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“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“

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

“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.“

“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 !!“

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

“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.

“I’ve been visiting this restaurant since I moved to the area, and I truly have nothing but great things to say. I’ve come during different shifts, and the staff has always been kind and helpful. I usually visit at night, and Wendy is typically my server — she’s always attentive, friendly, and makes sure everything is perfect.

The food is amazing, and if any mistakes are made, they’re always willing to fix them quickly to make sure you’re completely satisfied. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or stopping by for lunch during the less busy hours :)“

“The food here is decent but it depends what you order. The empanadas were on the smaller side and were cold. The beef one was good but the chicken one was dry. The chicken stew was good and they gave me a lot of it. The portion sizes and the way the food is cooked always varies and it’s never the same which is disappointing. For two empanadas and a chicken stew platter with rice and beans, it came out to $26, which I thought was a little expensive.“

“Super delicious staff are so nice“

“Delicious food and always happy people“

“The best chimis in the Bronx;quality, hygiene, and good service😋👌“

“The customer service here is great. My son and I always come here , for breakfast or lunch to service is great.Joanna the lady behind the counter is a lovely lady.This is a family own so it seems. They are all wonderful people and I recommend this place to all.“

“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“

“Had a really great experience here from the moment I walked in. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which immediately made the place feel comfortable instead of rushed or overly formal.

I actually came in looking for a specific dish that had been recommended to me, but I completely forgot the name of it. The staff member helping me was incredibly patient and helpful while we tried to figure it out, and they ended up pointing me in the right direction without making me feel awkward about it at all.

The food itself ended up being excellent. Everything looked fresh and well prepared, and the flavors matched the presentation. You could tell care went into both how the meal was made and how it was served. It had that balance of being satisfying and flavorful without feeling overly heavy.

What stood out most was how easy and pleasant the whole experience felt. Good food is important, but friendly service like that is what really makes a place memorable and makes people want to return. Definitely somewhere I’d come back to again.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Higher prices than other similar restaurants yet the service and quality make up for it. The place is nice and has a bar with a lot of food options. Breakfasts best plate is Mangu with morir soñando and lunch would be Oxtail with rice,beans with a small salad
And tostones.“

“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 STOP IN FOR THE FANTASTIC FOOD,ESPECIALLY THE RICE DISHES AND ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. ITS THE BEST...IM SO GLAD ITS SO CLOSE TO MY HOUSE BESIDES THE STAFF IS VE R Y NICE AS WELL“

“Google this spot came up. We pulled up place looked invited. The staff was engaging. The food was being freshly made my guy on the grill doing the Spanish style jerk chicken without the heat. The chicharon was moist and delicious. The steak my friend had was nice, plantains was right. Hey, going back very soon.“

“La comida es buena, tienen buen Parqueo, pero el servicio de las camareras es pésimo, pero horrible, parece como si no le pagaran, como si uno va fiado, siempre aburrirás, pocos atentas, paran encompichadas como si estuvieran en un patio de RD, y eso que la RD se caracteriza por su gente. Mejoren eso por favor, que es un buen negocio.“

“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.“

“I’ve ordered the food from here several times and though I’ve never physically seen the place the food usually tastes the same and I enjoy that consistency. Prices are good. The 13 dollar rotisserie is cool. I like the pernil and chicken chicharron, the potato salad is a great price and you get a nice amount. Only one time out of at least a dozen times the potato salad was sour and the mayonnaise was not fresh. The following day it was not edible. Other than that I’ve always had pretty decent experience.“

“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?“

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

“I always wanted to try so I finally did. The chicken was soo good. I just wish they gave more wasakaka sauce. I had to ask for one instead of getting it automatically with my order. And they only gave one which isn’t enough for me to enjoy my chicken with. The plantains were good as well. Some were still undercooked I wish they fried it a bit longer . But other than that the chicken and plantains were pretty good🤤🤤“

“This is a typical Dominican restaurant, the please is very nice and clean and the staff is very friendly
Food was very nice and seasoned, the chicken is they main attraction rotisserie style with crispy skin , how ever I dint given them 5 stars because the rice was not jasmine rice which pair very nice with the beans , overall is a nice spot for a quick lunch .“

“Because the food is very tasty and the atmosphere extraordinary

Kid-friendliness: All guarantees for a child to be comfortable in that place are recommended.

Wheelchair accessibility: If there is access to enter with a wheelchair“

“My husband called and ordered chicken strips with white rice delicious. I thought it was a restaurant how good the food was. So I went on my own being new to the neighborhood and was surprised it was a deli. I love it I order every day I'm never dissatisfied always a happy customer“

“Absolutely love this spot! The empanadas, smoothies, and food are all incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the difference. The prices are fair and definitely worth your bucks. They recently got new owners, and they’re doing a fantastic job. The lady who’s always there is so kind and welcoming—it feels like you’re being served by family. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“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.“

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

“If you want to sit and eat… be sure to go up to the counter and order first! … then tell them the food is to stay. Otherwise you will be sitting for awhile and they wont even see you. Its very busy at lunch and those servers are very busy. Food is so fresh and delicious! Worth it!!!“

“Great option for authentic for authentic Dominican food“

“comida muy deliciosa y a muy buen precio“

“I stopped by for breakfast at this Dominican takeout and restaurant. You can either order to go or sit in. The food was really good. I had mangú, and my friend ordered white rice and beans with chicken and plantains. The service was fast. The portions were generous. It’s a nice, friendly spot with great service and welcoming staff.“

“Fantástico super bien todos“

“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“
