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?

There is only one employee that speaks English as well as Spanish so I sat around for about 10 minutes just waiting to order. I did try with the Spanish speaking woman but it was clearly not working. The food was DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be learning the names of the dishes just to return to this eatery!

First ImpressionI searched for local restaurants nearby that make sancocho soup and decided to order with La Sorpresa since I had not tried it before.Within a few minutes of placing my order I received an email stating my order had been cancelled by the restaurant because they are “busier than usual.” I thought that was a good thing. Cancelling orders is certainly one way to ensure you’re not busy any longer.I would have appreciated at least a call from the restaurant to explain why the order was being cancelled or offer me another time to place an order. I ordered food from another restaurant currently taking orders.This was not a good first impression.
Well never go again, I guess I have to be a regular to even have my order taken. I waited in line only to watch people come after me and have their order taken.Not to mention zero social distancing being enforced, as well as zero mask wearing being enforced. Staff didn't have on mask or gloves.
