Dominican Restaurants near Flushing, NY

“Absolutely amazing!!!!!! Came here for a quick dinner before the Post Malone concert in citifield and it clearly stole the show. Servers were so attentive and the food was made with so much love. They were so nice and the owner is actually a famous voice actor.“

“Great food and excellent fast service.“

“I absolutely love this tiny restaurant, by far my favorite in queens. I’ve been going here since I was a little girl and have not regretted it once. The food is amazing and the portions they give is astounding for the low price. Highly recommend !!“

“I'm Asian and my Asian friend and I were walking in Jackson Heights and we passed by and ate here. Although we don't speak Spanish, the owner does speak English. We can communicate normally ~ I want to dine here again ~ I wonder if the owner will guess who I am after seeing this message???????“

“It was alright, definitely not worth the price. Everyone was nice, restaurant is setup like an old style diner, with all sauces galore. The best thing was the beans and rice; immaculate. The ribs were meaty but had a sweet aftertaste which didn’t make sense for the savory plate. Plantains tasted like they were bought at different times; some hard some soft.“

“There’s something that has been causing me secondhand embarrassment every time I pay with a card here. They pressure you to tip even if you order for pickup. We all know why you require signatures on receipts; it is a form of manipulation for tipping. Please top.

And just in case you guys try to justify this, there's a lot of restaurants that doesn't required it. And here is the irony, they only required my to sign the receipt if a I leave tips.

I'm talking about pickup orders, so is not about me complaining about paying the salary of the waitresses, because their patrons don't valued them and exploit them.“

“Best value for food. Usually stop by here and pick up enough food to feed a small army of 10 adults and a few children and there is still left over for around $50They have 3 specials at very affordable prices but they do not lack in flavor taste or quality.Timely service and always a pleasant experience.Usually take it to go as the inside is a bit small for groups but they do take out and delivery which is always a win. Recommend going here if you find yourself in the need of some Caribbean cuisine.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“such a great gem in the heart of Brooklyn. cocktails are great. nice happy hour.“

“I come to this restaurant at least three times a month, and I’ve been going here for 15 years. It’s truly great—the food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best tres leches, and everything they make tastes consistently good and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“i ate here for the first time and got mofongo and a limeade. the mofongo was delicious and they give you a generous serving of gravy! it’s classic dominican, exactly what you’d expect. the mofongo does take a bit long bc it’s made fresh but the waitresses were nice and accommodating. a casual atmosphere with good food“

“Everything is great here!“

“I highly recommend this driving school. For my son 17 years old the instructor Ayub teach him nicely and within short time and less driving lessons my son was able to drive perfectly. Today my son pass the road test and I am happy. As an instructor Ayub is the best and I suggest all of the student try at once and I believe you guys won’t regret it. Thanks to Ayub and this driving school.“

“Had the BEST birthday dinner at Frida✨

We went to celebrate my birthday with my husband and siblings and honestly… we had such a good time. From the moment we walked in, the staff was super nice and helpful and just made everything feel easy and welcoming. The vibe is really good, cozy, great music, loud enough to vibe in your seat but still easy to talk.

We started with the guacamole & chips and the tostoncitos with birria, both so good. While we were eating, Marcelo (the owner) came by and was so warm and welcoming. You can tell he really cares about the experience.

For food, I got the chimi sandwich with birria (so good), my husband got the mondongo birria, it had a lot of meat (he even said it was a bit much lol) but the flavor was really good. My siblings got the ribeye steak and shrimp tacos with rice and beans and loved it.

The drinks were sooo good, passionfruit mojitos, mocktails, and the Frida Kahlo drink were all a hit.

You can really taste the Dominican-Mexican fusion, which I loved, it’s different in a really good way. Marcelo and his team were all so kind and attentive.

We literally left still talking about how good everything was. Such a vibe. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Seating is limited - the food fresh and tasty- NYC rated A restaurant- staff friendly“

“The food is great I ordered from them two days n a row and food is fresh both times..I give the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is hands down the BEST Dominican fritura spot in NYC! The food is delicious, full of flavor and FRESH. The service was phenomenal and Laysha was amazing. She put us on to the best items on the menu and we walked out completely full, satisfied and beyond happy. I’ll be posting a Reel and video on TikTok (@radiantcin). Gracias por esta comida deliciosa y buen servicio 🫶🏽👏🏽🇩🇴We also created a new name for their dish pictured here!!! Tierra & Alas!“

“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."“

“Great portions! The pernil and pollo guisado are my favorite. I’ve ordered lunch plates to stay, take out platters for group dinners, and catering orders for a party. They give such great portions. The catering orders are of course freshly made, but the lunch and take out are from the ready made trays in the store and the chicken and pernil are so tender and delicious.“

“Excelente servicio! Muy buena calidad en la comida“

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

“Wonderful cuisine service is excellent“

“Service was quick and food was good. Recommend this spot. Get there early they look like they get busy“

“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.“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“DELICIOUS. The Chacá (maíz craquiao/sweet corn) is really good. I’m from PA and don’t come to NY at all, but anytime I have to cross the GW Bridge for whatever reason, I have to stop by the corner of W. 182nd / St Nicholas in the Bronx ( I think that’s the Bronx). I haven’t tried the habichuelas con dulce, but sometimes they have rice pudding (Arroz con leche) and it is also good. The habichuelas must be really good also because everyone on the line in front of me ordered the habichuelas con dulce. I left from my house in PA at around 9AM when I checked to see what time they open, Google has their hours from noon to 8pm. I arrived to NY at around 10:45AM hoping they were going to be there already, and they were. They were just getting set up and there were also other people waiting to get this delicious sweet treat. I guess they open at 11AM. One thing I didn’t see was their price list. I heard someone getting charged $9 for the big cup and I got charged $10. I’m not sure if that person got the habichuelas or the sweet corn and/or if the habichuelas and the sweet corn have the same price. They should list the prices so some people that are not from the area or don’t go there often think they are getting overcharged. If you pass by the area, stop by and get yourself some Cachá or habichuelas con dulce. By the way, the people selling are very nice and have been on that corner for many years.“

“So yummy!! We got chicken, fish, and beef and all were delicious. Each meal comes with beans and rice and is a good value for the food and location. We also shared 4 meals (they gave us an extra plate and cutlery set) between 5 adults and had plenty of food!“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“If you're looking for some of the best Dominican food in the US, it's here - down a few steps, in this pool hall. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the habichuelas (beans). The gallina was tender to the point it was falling off the bone, and the rice was fluffy and full of flavor. This is truly a place where you can taste the love.“

“Very authentic Dominican food at a great price. The people here are super friendly.
I had the sancocho with rice and a mofongo de pernil, both cooked the traditional way and full of flavor. Portions were generous, everything tasted homemade and was affordable (extra charge for credit card). Simple, honest Dominican food with no frills. Would come back.“

“Best Dominican food..Not only because it’s affordable but also delicious! And service is amazing! They accidently gave me two orders of each plate that I ordered and charged me for it, then I told them there was a mistake and they refunded without any problems! Thank you Tropical! Love you guys!“

“I stopped by this little restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. I ordered a mangú con tres golpes and it was absolutely on point, well prepared, flavorful, and just the comfort food I was craving. The jugo de Chinola was not overly sweet and it was just right and refreshing, as it should be.

The service was just as great. Yadira took care of us with a big smile, quick service, and genuine kindness that made the experience even better. For such a small spot, it really delivers in both taste and hospitality.

Recommended 100%“

“For the first time I visited this fried food and I can tell you that I loved it, from the quality, the flavor, the portion that was too much and the price, not to mention super economical, we ordered a varied tray, a hotdog and a juice and everything was very delicious and the preparation was very Quick, I will definitely come back ?“

“buenoooo bueenooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“Sancocho was incredible. Full of flavor, depth was good and balanced. Cozier place, very warm and welcoming staff. Bachata playing and it feels like a place where everyone knows your name if you from this part of town. A gem. Will come again. Blessed to have been lucky enough to drop by“

“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 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!“

“this restaurant is by far one of the best Spanish restaurants in the area. They make you feel like family and they go out theieyway so you feel welcome and make you go back. Best part is the PRICES you get plenty of food for a very good price. 5 star ⭐️ for this location.“

“The food is average, the cashiers are nasty and unprofessional, and prices are clearly changed (sometimes double) based on who is ordering, with foreigners coming from the airport being taken advantage of. Was told to go in with a Spanish speaker to not get taken advantage of.... can you imagine?!?!“

“This is my favorite local spot, the staff is the best & the food �������“

“I had a construction project in the neighborhood so i decided to try some Dominican food. I chose the right place; food was delicious. Even the girls didn't speak much English but they try their best to communicate with me.
Bathroom was extremely CLEAN !
I recommend this place to eat your lunch.
