Spanish Restaurants near Elmont, NY

“I was doing some errands in this plaza when i randomly stumbled across this restaurant. I haven’t experienced authentic food in so long and not only was the food amazing the atmosphere was too. As well as the staff was extremely nice and I even spoke to a worker who said they’d been there for 15 years which amazed me because I’ve always lived in the area and never seen this place. I ordered the beef stew and rice and it was PACKED and DELICIOUS. it was also LESS THAN $12 and gave me enough for leftovers and a full stomach. Their empanadas were amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend“

“Pollos a la Brasa is truly one of our favorite places, and it feels like home every time we go. We’ve known the family that owns it for years, and they are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Clarabel is so sweet, and her brother is amazing— they always make you feel welcomed and appreciated.

The food is absolutely fantastic and never disappoints. Our go-to orders are the pulled pork, lemon chicken, yellow rice and beans, and the sopa de mariscos (seafood soup), which is always full of flavor and so comforting. Everything is fresh, well-seasoned, and made with love.

It’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a place run by wonderful people who truly care about their customers. We will always continue to support and recommend Pollos a la Brasa to everyone. Highly recommend!“

“A whole vibe!!! From the moment you walk in, you are captivated. The decor, the music and the beautiful staff begin the wonderful experience that's about to occur. The food is exquisite in presentation and taste.i have visited the location in Forest Hills also but the experience in RVC is incomparable. (My daughter works near Forest Hills and frequented the other location but immediately stated she likex RVC just entering the restaurant) Iliana, Chastity, Julie and others, thank you for a great evening. Be back soon and every time I visit NY“

“We were supposed to eat at another restaurant, Anny, but when we got there, they informed us that they would only accept cash. Yet there was no ATM. We started walking on 116th, looking for an ATM. Instead, we found this place to eat. It's a buffet style place with only one booth style table. The best thing was that the food was good and the price was right.“

“So my second time writing a review for this place and it deserves it ....Just recently tried breakfeast there and although its not that much different then a typical American breakfest that i am used to i would suggest trying it

Changing up potatoes for plantains , those pickled onions and a litle cheese this is the place to come if youre someone who didnt grow up eating this type of authentic food

Makes me wish i had a Dominican gramdma who made me this dish my whole life ....try this place and if not tu mucho loca or o

Support local businesses that get it right!!!

Places like this make me never want to leave this neighborhood and make life better as if you dont try different things you are boring !“

“My daughter and I found ourselves in this neck of the woods, and we luckily stumbled upon Tres Diamantes [Three Diamonds]! Our server, Darleny, was warm, welcoming and sweetly tolerated my attempts to speak in Spanish. Everyone else also appeared friendly and efficient as they catered to the other patrons; most of whom, if not all, were clearly regulars. The restaurant and bar area were airy and festive, the restrooms tidy and clean. Darleny brought us guacamole, which, interestingly and in true Salvadorian tradition, was made with hard-boiled eggs. The guac was perfectly balanced and delicious; if it was a larger serving, I could have made a meal out of it and a beer or two! We also ordered ceviche [fresh and tasty], beef stew [authentic as heck], and yummy pupusas. As others have stated, a 20% service charge was automatically added to our bill, and if paying with a credit card, an additional 3% “processing fee” will be levied.
We enjoyed our meals, the service, and the atmosphere. I look forward to returning and suggest you give them a try sometime.“

“It's a really good place for a fast meal, the rice and beans are to kill for. However was little disappointed the other day, because one of the reasons I like this place was for the prices. Was shocked how much it cost me the other day. But at the end of the day, the food is “

“You have the best roasted chicken of all time and your salmon is delicious too when I can catch it because its very popular and goes fast. People are friendly and you're my go to when I don't feel like cooking. I had to take one star 🌟 off because you need better variety for your side dishes. The vegetables you have are blah. When you change that you'll get 5 stars across the board. Ohh yeah love your soups too.“

“exelente precios y buen servicio ??“

“This place really knows how to do Halal chicken right. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned all the way through—not just on the surface. You can tell it’s made fresh, not rushed. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the staff was friendly and quick. Easily one of the best fried chicken spots I’ve been to. Definitely coming back.“

“Super nice and old fashion service! The way life use to be where you felt served and treated nice! I had eggplant Parmesan For lunch. Yum! My friend had a chicken sandwich. Both were good size portions. If I was not traveling, I would have taken leftovers.The Restroom was clean, staff very attentive, atmosphere elegant. 🫶🏽
I hope to return next visit to NYC“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en new Hyde park buena comida , buena atención.🌮🌮🌮🍺“

“I have been eating from here for literal years! My dad introduced me to their food about 10 years ago and I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet.

The food here is consistently flavorful, fresh, and made with love. It doesn’t matter if I eat in the restaurant or order takeout the food here is always a 10/10! My go to order is the Grilled Shrimp Scampi ( Camarones ) with garlic sauce and white rice with beans. My fiancé always orders their Pernil with rice and beans.

If you are thinking of getting food from here, do it! The staff is super friendly and the food is as good as it looks!“

“We like a lot going out. Yesterday we arrived in this superb place which friends recommended to us. We spent a delightful evening there with exceptional meal and an efficient stuff and an impressive chef. We added this venue in our list and we will no doubt visit again very soon. We warmly recommend.“

“My boss said the best pernil on Long Island is Lucas Dominican on Grand Ave in Baldwin. If you have any stops there, swing by and get yourself a large serving, white rice, smothered in pork gravy.

Frank is many things, but a liar ain't one of 'em.

Moist, succulent pernil! Also, since she offered, the nice young lady offered las tijeras del pernil, for those who know, are the proper cutting tool needed to slather the skin on your order. Thick, crunchy skin placed purposefully on my plate!“

“I was referred here by my friend who buys food from here often and shared and it's always delicious. My husband and I come from long island as often as we can now because we have never been disappointed with all the food we bought. Staff and owners are wonderful and very welcoming and grateful for our patronage which we love. The portions are great and pleasantly pleased that they include plantains. My absolute favorite is the beef stew, always mouth watering and tender. We will continue to return. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

“I work at the local school and didn’t know this place existed for the longest time until my coworker was eating the food and it looked delicious. I don’t eat meat so I got the fried fish, rice and beans and plantain. Omg it was incredible. On Fridays they make a seafood bisque soup that’s just as good and apparently very popular. Friendly workers too. My go-to place for lunch take out now.“

“Yo estuve hoy 27 de agosto 2024 y me atendió Eduardo este muchacho muy atento muy bueno la atención comida riquísima gracias edwuardo gonzales te doy un 100“

“The chicken beans and rice was so delicious! Chicken was tender flavorful & perfectly cooked. Everyone who works here was so kind and attentive. Dominican food as good or better as any i’ve had in the city. Definitely come here before after or during your beach day.“

“Always busy, clean. Good prices. I have noticed overtime Walmart breads are salty/high in sodium. Whenever I eat I feel so very thirsty. I don't get that feeling at eating bread from elsewhere. Anyways I go there mostly for car oil and Gatorade.“

“A delicious and affordable buffet filled with lots of options conveniently located near the beach and the LIRR. We’ll be in town this weekend for Memorial Day, and I’m looking forward to eating there again.“

“Great Food, exceptional service and margaritas to die for! Our group of four has been dying to find a good Mexican restaurant (we have tried many)and 5 De Mayo did not disappoint. From our server, to our "Guacamole Girl" to the owner Roberto who came to our table to check in and offer dessert and/or a shot (free of charge), we could not have found a better hidden gem. We will not have to try another Mexican Restaurant as long as 5 De Mayo is around!“

“This place is a hidden gem. I wish I knew about this place earlier . I ordered the Beef Stew with white rice and beans and let me tell you it tasted like my parents made it. The stew sauce was saucing and it was thick pause . New customer for sure ! I recommend to come in and eat next time I know I will ! Don’t for get the Passion fruit juice !“
