“Amazing food and service.“

“I don’t know how it took so long for me to discover this place. The food was so so good. Large quantities for a good price. You can tell the food is made with love. The owners (I’m assuming) were so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant looked nice and clean. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The food was amazing. The owner is also really nice you can tell he cares about his customers experience at the restaurant. The service was also pretty good. I just wish the waiter checked on us a little more but other than that the restaurant was great I would recommend it.“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“We had a delicious breakfast here. Passing through the neighborhood and wanted some hot food, not breakfast sandwiches or pastries. I had mangu, sausage, and egg. My husband had rice and pork with a soda. Less than $20 together. The staff was friendly. Counter seating inside or.2 small.tablea outside.“

“Excellent customer service from A to Z, thanks chef PaPi food 🥘 and drinks amazing 😉!!“

“I’m Puerto Rican and when I’m feeling homesick (often lately) I come in for a feast. Best rotisserie chicken, perfect seasoning, tasty crispy skin. Arroz con gandules is my favorite but the congris (black bean rice) is a close second. Also, I have a severe gluten allergy and have never had an issue! Love this place!“

“I stepped in here because I wanted a coffee but it was a pleasant little surprise. The lunch special is reasonably good. Rice , beans and chicken for $10 in dumbo? That’s a deal. It was seasoned well and tasty. I had some coffee too. Would absolutely come back here again if I’m in the area.“

“July 8 2024 order some rice and 2 porkchop the lady gave me 2 ham steak which was very salty not too please at all so when you order make sure it's what u ask for I don't speak Spanish!!!!!“

“Oh, this place has delicious Dominican food! They season their food just right, not too salty or too bland. My friend and I always come here because the food is amazing and it doesn't upset their stomach. We're both addicted, I might go there later today..“

“I'm used to seeing pork legs only with potatoes and carrots, but these have everything, I saw it differently, but when they gave me a try, uffff, what a surprise, I couldn't resist and bought it, yummy, I would go back to buy it 10 out of 10“

“This place is a cute little hole in the wall but this is my weekly go to and my daughter loves it as well. The food there is amazing, the ladies there make you feel welcome and at home (memories of my many trips ton D R) with excellent service. The atmosphere is perfect, you feel more like at home than a restaurant. You know that it's good because that's where the hard working Spanish families who work and live in the community eat. Go try it out you Will not be disappointed.“

“I can't believe I almost walked past this amazing place. This spot creates the perfect feel. The service speed impressed us. They're inconsistent with warmth but consistent with service. This restaurant exceeded expectations and I can't wait to return!“

“Muy buena atención y la comida muy rica“

“These folks work HARD in here, cranking out some good hot meals for the community.

I needed something good and comfortable, not fancy and expensive, but was stuck wandering the snow in Wberg. Quite the challenge! Very glad I found this place.

I got an egg & cheese with some home fries - the lady at the counter asked if I wanted them on the sandwich. She know's what's up!

The GOOD kind of home fries too - orange with seasoning! Tip these workers good!“

“Punta Cana is an absolute paradise for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a vibrant and relaxing atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel welcome and ensured our experience was nothing short of perfect.

The menu offers a wonderful mix of Caribbean and international flavors, with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. I opted for the grilled mahi-mahi, which was cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and served with a side of tropical salsa that added just the right amount of zest. My partner went for the jerk chicken, which was smoky, spicy, and incredibly satisfying.

The cocktails deserve a special mention — the signature rum punch was refreshing and expertly crafted, making it the perfect complement to our meal. The lively music and warm decor create a fun and inviting vibe, ideal for a casual night out or a celebration.

Overall, Punta Cana delivers an outstanding dining experience with great food, attentive service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place should definitely be on your list. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I’ve frequent this place at least 4 times a month, sometimes more. And one thing I can say with confidence is that the speed of service is so slow. Sometimes all I order is a juice and the wait time is 15 mins because they get caught up talking to other customers. The wraps are great and so are the juices but the wait time is very undesirable.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot for years whenever I’m craving Spanish food, and it’s always been a reliable choice.

The food tastes fresh every time, and the fried shrimp is especially good—definitely one of my favorites. I usually go for takeout during lunch, and the portions and variety (like Camarones Al Ajillo, pulled pork, and even desserts) never disappoint.

Service is quick and straightforward, and the atmosphere is decent for a casual visit.

Overall, it’s a solid place with consistent quality, and I’d happily recommend it if you’re looking for flavorful food at a reasonable price.“

“buenoooo bueenooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“My favorite place to eat. I mean the food is amazing, I go constantly and always order something different and every time the chef nails it. The only thing I don't like is that on weekends they have the music too loud. Also the service is top notch.“

“It’s absolutely perfect. The food is made quickly, and it’s exquisite. Every dish they have is made with the ideology of perfection. The cooks and servers and kind, regardless of the time of day. They always have great manners, and they’re always welcoming! Whether you’re dining here, or ordering to go, this restaurant is amazing. Top tier service and food. Would recommend“

“I've tried to find something they don't do well, but failed. This place maintains cleanliness and the proprietors are friendly, attentive and honest. The restaurant proprietor displayed sweet consideration. I'm still dreaming about those flavors. I voiced appreciation for this spot.“

“The Dominican food is delicious very authentic 🇩🇲🥘🥩“

“For good spanish food on the go Jenny 2 restaurant is awesome and these are the reasons. The food is not salty at all very tasty. One can taste all other condiments, not overbearing well manged in taste.Their seafood doesn't taste fishy at all. Their price went up just like everything else in live but Jenny 2, the restaurant the food is worth every penny, awesome food made by Dominicans.

Kid-friendliness: The ladies and men who serve the food are very kind and pleasant, and they don't take a year to serve one.“

“El Sabor de la Esquina is a fantastic find! The food was fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor — truly felt like a taste of home cooking. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, genuine dishes in a friendly, casual atmosphere.“

“food service environment clean good prices“

“They don’t serve food, but she said you can order or bring outside food which is why they only got 2 stars in that regard. The place itself is a calm spot I think it’d be better if they did serve at least finger foods & had more hookah flavors (all they have is mint), but they make it really good & it last a while! It’s greatly priced at about $36 refills being $12 I believe. I also believe that it’d be better if they played a variety of music. She did allow us to play our own music for a little while maybe about 20 minutes, but they cater to Dominican music more. Overall I’d go back for a quick night out for drinks & hookah.“

“The food is fantastic ! Order the beef stew with yellow rice and beans. The place is always busy“

“I had such a great experience at this Dominican snack spot in Park Slope! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. You can really taste that authentic Dominican touch in every bite from the savory snacks to the sweeter treats.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made me feel right at home. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately know you’ll be coming back. Perfect for a quick bite or just to satisfy a craving for something delicious and comforting. I had empanadas!! Tuesday are $2!!!
And a yaroa sure was delicious.
Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area you won’t be disappointed!“

“My favorite place to get food in Crown Heights. Perfect flan. I haven’t had anything off their grill because I go for the steaming buffet that’s by the window. You can see the steam rising off the meats from the sidewalk, and smell it too. Right away you know it’s gonna be good. I’ve had the ribs, roast pork, and beef stew, but my favorite is the baked chicken. Try it over the mangu. Nice staff. Good price. :)“

“The stores inside this mall. For as long as I know, since I was a kid back in the 70s, I may be a little bit more until now. The restaurants, the stores the other stores that are there too. They're pretty good and especially the guys that does the tailor day at the tongue.I'm not expensive“

“When my girlfriend was alive, I used to accompany her there with her sister. Just for the hell of it during the holiday season, I will invite my late girlfriend's sister out for lunch.“

“It is my favorite place, I love it ? the service, the excellent food and the employees treat you as if you were family ? may the Lord Jesus bless you greatly.

Kid-friendliness: You can go with children ? it is an excellent place.“

“The Dominican food is delicious very authentic 🇩🇲🥘🥩“

“This is a small restaurant but full of flavor, the food is very fresh and delicious. A breakfast ? or lunch is perfect here, it is not expensive, I highly recommend the meatballs, they are delicious and when they make tail, my mouth waters. I recommend you try it, and the ladies who serve are very nice and attentive, they don't make faces or have an attitude at all, I really love it“

“This was another happy discovery, and a nice place to stop in for old-fashioned Spanish comfort food. My favorite dish from here is the garlic chicken with rice and beans, as well as the fresh juices. One can make a dish off of the snack foods and smaller dishes by themselves; the standard rice platter that came with the aforementioned chicken lasted me for a few days, there was so much. They also have a wide variety of breakfast dishes and don't mind customizing them as needed.“

“One of The best Spanish food restaurants in Sunset Park 😍 food has flavor and it’s very tasty. I have gotten the chicharrón de pollo with bone in and without really good! The shrimp with rice soup, is off the hook good!!! Tostones, maduros whatever u get steak is Good Dominican Food not salty - just on point!!! Good Food here and eating again thx for your service Buen Gusto ♥️👏🙏“

“They sell super authentic, affordable and super flavorful pastelitos (Dominican fried empanadas), but don’t let the fact they’re fried scare you away! They make them with different fillings, and they truly don’t disappoint. With many empanada spots opening up, they do not compare because the pricing is high or the flavor is lacking. Here the experience is worth every penny, especially the pastelitos de cangrejo (crab empanada) they make.No hay nada más auténtico que un pastelito hecho con mucho amor. No te arrepentirás, te lo aseguro.“

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

“No place treats me and my family better. The food, the quantity, the flavors and the general feeling of having high end food made for taking out or even better to cater an entire family function, is a win every time. They beat all other Domican Spots. And they always have the best specials and the food seems to never run out,- a first for a Dominican Spot.“

“Great little local restaurant. Was staying in Brooklyn for a bit and there’s nothing like these type of spots. Great home cooked type food! Came here twice, once for some quick empanadas for breakfast and the other for lunch. Rotisserie chicken, rice, beans and vegetables for $20(USD). Great price, great portion, great food & great people.“

“The menu here gives me new things to recommend each visit. The staff offered remarkable customer attention and the food was exceptional. El Monumento uses ingredients worth the effort. The buzz about El Monumento doesn't do it justice. This place gave me a smooth experience.“

“I was in the area and it came up, I wanted to give a try. I've never had fried smoke port chops and it was pretty good with fried plantains. They had a decent menu for a quick bite. I'd try another dish next time I'm in the area.“
