I've come here as far back as 2018, and I honestly don't know why. As of the last 5 years, the quality has seriously deteriorated. I'll explain my most recent visit.

Came in, place is clean for the most part at first glance. I order my food to go, and ask for a patacon sandwich with a cabbage substitution because warm lettuce is far from appetizing to my palette. This is approximately a $15 sandwich taken up to a total of $17. That is absolutely fine on my end. Given inflation, costs of operation, etc. Totally valid. Prices are on the menu, but I'm not sure if I would have wanted cabbage or lettuce for $2. I digress.

I took advantage of the wait time (~15 mins) and used the restroom. It smelled like nothing but dead mice in there. Urine was also observed on the floor. Had I used the restroom PRIOR to ordering, I would have left without a second thought. But I pressed on, used the restroom, and promised to never return.

After opening up my sandwich, the presentation was decent. But I was perplexed as something layered in ketchup, mayo, cheese, tomato, and grilled chicken was dry and lacking in flavor. The plantain casing was thick but could have been toasted a bit more for crunch/texture.

This location is disappointing and overpriced. But, don't take my word for it. If I COULD make a suggestion, find the deceased mice in your bathroom 🐀🐀🐀

I won't be returning.

Food is edible. It's not properly prepared. The steak was low-quality, chewy, and tepid. Only the morir soñando was fine. Venue is loud, obnoxious, and attracts the kind of brash patrons akin to dive-bar crowds. It was so distasteful that a member of our party left before the food was even served.

Open late night.

If you order delivery, don't believe what you read on the food description. I the salad that is supposed to come with fish and chicken. Instead it fish, they added beef. Added no dressing whatsoever, and the tostones were soggy. Who eats a salad without dressing? If I wanted beef, I would have ordered it. The chimi was ok, but I mean, how can you even mess that up. Just be aware that the descriptions are not accurate, and if you order a juice, be prepared to get a flavor you didn't order as well.

They are not used well because they are kept standing for a long time. And his behavior towards them is not good.

I just had the shame of my life, I talked to some Arab friends about how good Dominican fried food is and these rpsm sent the fried food half cooked and they also sent meat for a maximum of 3 people, a picadera that was 5 meats, how disgusting I will honestly never buy from this place again ?????

Damn dude, I always order from here but today was the day they took mad long to send a delivery out + I was charged for the order. I tried to get support from UberEats, they didn’t helped me and now I don’t think the restaurant will do it either. Such a bad experience this time…
Ridiculous

This has to be one of the worst food experiences in NYC. The staff is so rude. She took my order incorrectly, and it had the nerve to be rolling her eyes and making all types of faces when I confronted her about it. It says I wasn’t supposed to care! If you value your money, please don’t come here. Everything is overpriced. The food is not nearly as good for what they’re charging you for. Highly recommend any other chimi spot smh

The place is very expensive for what it is. The mofongo with churrasco was very good although for $33 I expected at least a little salad on the side or one more complement since mofongo is a heavy dish. Although the quesadillas were full of chicken, they had too much mayonnaise, they have to improve the recipe. It doesn't make sense to me that they have restaurant prices if there are no waiters serving the table.
