Spanish Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Great setting, creative and sensual cuisine, great wine list.“

“Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out“

“Amazing service, amazing food. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. Beautiful venue. Came here for our anniversary and will absolutely be returning! Michele provided excellent service and provided a wonderful experience. The tuna soja was delicious“

“Lovely place. We got the 5-course prix fixe, which let us sample lots of different dishes. Everything was interesting and delicious. The staff was so lovely, personable and warm. I won't lie, in these days of hard budgets, this will be a splurge for many (we went with the help of a gift card!). With tip, it came to about $250...that's a lot for two people. Was it worth it? Yes!! But is that kind of expenditure hard for many right now? Also yes. Still, I am so glad we went, and I am thankful to the staff for the great food and service. This place is terrific for a special occasion.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“Absolutely delicious food & great service! We come from Smithtown Long Island and it’s worth the trip every time never disappoints!“

“It’s a Latin food , basically Domican !! Restaurant, food is good , served with a big portion, I always afraid about the portions but after you staring eating the plate is getting Less and less delicious food , I really recommend this place if you’re looking to spend some family time while enjoying an good meal .“

“This place is the real deal, dominion republic buffet at a great price. Coming from London we were well used to Jamaican rice and peas etc, but this is on another level altogether , amazing hearty food at great value. Friendly staff and full of locals, give it a go you won't be disappointed.“

“I’ve had dinner here the past two birthdays and I’ve enjoyed the food immensely both times. I love that you get two distinct dining choices here that you can mix and match. The skirt steak especially was delicious with the pork bun being a favorite appetizer of mine. I’ve enjoyed this place every time I’ve come here and I strongly recommend it.“

“This was our 1st visit to Mr Fire. We loved the way the place was decorated, plenty of space at tables, booths and bar. Great art and very clean. It was early Sunday afternoon, there was a buffet for $49.99 per person or you could order off the menu which we chose to do . There was a dj, DJ Joseph Loveras, who played the best music and had us dancing in our seats!!! He really made our visit so much fun!
Now the food, we started with Beef Nachos which we gave a 5 out of 10. The meat was mushy, there were no toppings except meat, cheese and quac. We asked for sour cream but it was spoiled. Caesar salad was ok but the chicken was bland and dry, the oxtail was just ok.
Service was ok. Our server was nice but I think she may also have been the bartender so her attention was split and it was more of a drop and go.
Gratuity is already figured into your check which I almost didn't see. I live in a different state so that is usually only for parties of 6 or more here but it's fine. There is also a 4% charge for using a card which I'm not crazy about.“

“I enjoy the veggie quesadilla’s I highly recommended Amor Latino drink.“

“I have gotten food to-go from here a few times and every time is has been delicious, generous servings. The spaghetti is reliably very good. I’ve had the grilled chicken and the beef stew over rice and beans, both very flavorful. I haven’t dined in hit the women who work there have been friendly during every visit.“

“So glad that Sanchos is back! A must go to when in bay ridge for spanish food done right!“

“I love this place but on Uber eats nah, they will not do your food for Uber eats after 8:00 and if you feel like walking to the spot and you’re close by excellent service but don’t order food after 8:00-8:15 they will definitely cancel your order!“

“Perfect roasted chicken for your entire family. They have family combos of whole roasted chicken, rice, beans, sweet plantains and avocado salad perfect for family of four.“

“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.“

“Usuluteco is another hole in the wall restaurant in Brooklyn where if you drive by too fast you would never see it . Let face it the abundance of traffic parked cars it new York but again I wasn't awhere they were on Google or else I would have taken more pictures the entrance is simple enough I know it winter but I would recommend palms ? at entrance when you get inside it pretty basic but they do have some Spanish song playing on bluer tooth to give it a little ambience tables are chairs are simple .the service was great was greeted as soon as I walked in I like that I went with some friends our waitress/ server attended to us immediately I had the pork chops and a coke it came with rice and peppers I was unsure but it tasted amazing ? and the rice was perfectly cook not a burn grain in site . Food preparation was good Instead of dumping porkchops ? on plate they added a Hugh piece of lettuce then putting the pork chops on top give it some color and style the pork chops were tender not tough (surprise surprise) well seasoned, for some reason when spanish restaurants cook pork chops thry feel the need to dry them out leaving the meat vey tough and hard to chew not at usuluteco they went a different direction , and the rice came out of bowl it gave a mound shape on the plate very traditional an old style that i see is now coming back well put together . These simple touches makes a big difference in customers coming back I would definitely go back and must stop by spot in Brooklyn..

Parking: It Brooklyn double park if possible but know guarantee“

“(Translated by Google) Very good food but the only bad thing is that it is a bit late but the food is very tasty and they serve you well(Original)Muy buena comida pero lo único malo que es un poco tardado pero la comida muy rica y lo atienden bien“

“I've had consistent great quality food from this establishment every time I've visited. Staff is friendly, greets you immediately, and always taking their time to make sure your order is taken correctly. The women here are stunning as well?... they never skimp on their portions, and the quality of the food is always on point. I like the fact that the food is on display, and you can see the food being prepared right in front of you. The atmosphere is very clean, very inviting and has a sense of a home feeling in the sitting area. Did i mention the women are stunning?. Unfortunately i haven't gotten any pics yet, but my next visit I'll make sure to ask if i can take some first, (Brooklyn people just dont like you taking pics of them)...lol but I'd highly recomend you, or the whole family visiting this restaurant for a great experience, and some great food... ohh and did i forget to mention the women here are stunning!!! Thank you El Paraso for continuing your quality service to the community!!! People go here, not there one across the street!!!!“

“This place is great: delicious, home-cooked style food, generous portions, it's one of the few places in the area that's affordable AND fills you up. Not fancy but not trying to be, if you're looking for meals in the area on the regular THIS is the place.“

“The beans and rice with the jerk chicken is phenomenal. My husband and I drive all the way down from Long island just for this delicious meal. The owner is a kind and great person. Definitely going back when I am feeling for amazing soul food“

“Best Breakfast & Brunch Spot in NYC — Period. When you factor in price, flavor, and quality. There’s simply no other spot that beats it.

What makes this place unique is that it’s not your typical all-American brunch, which for me can sometimes be on the bland side. Here, you’re getting a true Dominican-American breakfast and brunch experience — sazon, flavor, and soul in every bite. If you enjoy savoring your food, this is a match made in heaven.

Their mangú is smooth, creamy, and comforting — not the stiff, heavy version you often get elsewhere. I ordered the tres golpe and my girlfriend had the dos golpe with pechurrinas (Dominican chicken tenders). The chicken was crisp to perfection, seasoned beautifully, and mixing it with the mangú is next-level. To finish, I ordered a papaya milkshake that was amazing — rich, refreshing, and the perfect balance.

The flavor here is what sets them apart. If you’re Latino, or if you just love food with seasoning and depth, this is the spot. Too many brunch places in the city are bland — here, every bite has sabor.

On top of that, the service is excellent. Our server Jeanette was attentive, funny, and welcoming — exactly the kind of energy you want when you’re hungry.

And let’s talk about price. In 2025, when everything feels overpriced, this spot is a blessing. Most dishes are $5–$10, nothing over $25, and the quality is unmatched even compared to restaurants charging triple. You get your money’s worth every time.

The only downside is they’re not open for dinner — but for breakfast and brunch, Cafeteria Brooklyn is unbeatable. If you want food that’s flavorful, affordable, and satisfying, this is where you need to be. I’ll definitely be back.“

“A small and cozy restaurant to find Ecuadorian food with good portions. They have lunch specials which are offered in buffet style, and vary in options over the days of the week. It helps to speak some Spanish to communicate better. It is also important to bring cash, as it is the only accepted payment method.“

“The Owners are very friendly. Nice atmosphere. They make you feel at home. very comfortable. clean, organize place. Food is fresh and good! Highly recommend this place.“

“Food always made fresh and tasteful. Dishes feel and taste, as if someone cared about what they're sending out. The staff respected me and treated me like family, every time I dropped by. I recommend the fish, the lamb and chicken over rice and whatever you order, make sure you add their famous falafel . You'll love how that present the falafel, on your dish ?

Vegetarian options: I tried the veggie burger. Seeing how I'm not a vegetarian and enjoyed it, that should tell you how good it was.“

“Great service, great food!“

“I've eaten here about 3 times a week for an entire year.

The pernil, the chicken, the stewed steak, the meatballs. You cant go wrong with any of these.

This is a fast food type of spot, basic service.

But who cares the food is excellent.

Oh insider tip, on Fridays they make specials you can only get that day. I have no idea what I've eaten but it was so amazing.“

“We ordered the burrito and enchiladas from the lunch special. The enchiladas, which had pork and green sauce, were well-cooked and flavorful. However, the steak burrito was a bit dry, and the meat was tough, though the guac and salsa on the side were tasty. It’s a cute spot, and the music adds a fun vibe.“

“this is the spot you wanna come to when you’re fixing for some real home cooking style where you’re vibing in an abuelas crib. the soup was delicate and divine. reminded me of childhood. and the rice and beans were just stellar. very cheap. worth coming back to often“

“I went here for the first time recently to try their Birria tacos and I was not disappointed at all. They’re the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and cheesy. I also saw they had Mac and cheese so I tried a little cup of it (pictured) and the Mac and cheese was perfect to go along with it. The sauce wasn’t too thick or liquidy. Would 10/10 recommend this place to a friend, and would 20/10 come here after my undergrad is finished up.“

“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.“

“Amazing food !! Saw some workers eating it outside and it looked soooo delicious ,i asked them where they got it they told me and boy !!!!! The best!!!and the prices are very very reasonable!!
Thank you !! Best !!! Will recommend it to anyone! Anyone !!! Better than all restaurants on Bay Parkway!!!“

“My wife and I just happened to randomly walk past this place, saw the food from the window that looked really good, and took a chance. Really glad we did because the service was great and the food was amazing for a really budget friendly price. Wish I had pictures but we were so hungry and started digging in. Would definitely recommend.“

“Guys so first of all I googled this place I went of your reviews thank you and it did its job it was delightful the rice nice and fluffy well done the beans smelled like grandma had just made them the baked chicken was good and a side of salad“

“If you are looking for a place to have a great breakfast, look no further. Though primarily a Dominican style restaurant, they have a variety of choices that cater to multiple ethnic groups and tastes. Their breakfast menu is the stand out for me. The oatmeal is done perfectly and everything is fresh. The people working there are friendly and helpful. It’s my go to spot and you should definitely try it for yourself. The look of the place leaves a little to be desired since it’s a little on the plain side, but the place is clean and that trumps any aesthetic concern.“

“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..“

“The overall experience ensures I'll make this a regular stop in my dining schedule. Staff answers curiosities about ingredients happily. I'll be back if I'm in this part of town. Portal Latino serves food at its prime moment. This restaurant exceeded all my hopes.“

“todos los días él servicio y la comida“

“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.“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor, me encanta su sabor y sus diseños, únicos!“

“Great food! In true Dominican style, they serve you like it will be your last supper on Earth. I had a lunch portion, and I could barely get it all in. It was pretty packed, and the server seemed to know almost everyone who walked through the door. That's all I needed to see in order to know it's a neighborhood staple.“

“I went there after my workout and let me tell you their Pollo al Horno is amazing! I dont think there is any other place in brooklyn that offers this flavor. They also gave me this yellowish garlic sauce. You should try it. Their customer service was ok. Worth the price!“

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

“Anything on the menu is authentic Puerto Rican food and is absolutely delicious. Just remember to bring cash, because they don’t take plastic. 😎💟🇵🇷“
