Absolutely delicious. It should be noted that this is actually Buen Sabor, the Dominican place on metropolitan. Not sure why the name is different. Anyway, my husband and I get Tres Golpes breakfast from here often. they cook everything fresh and it's always delicious. The tostones were great too. I've ordered mango juice and lemonade and both seem to be made from scratch based on the taste and color. I would highly recommend if you like Latin food!

Was in the neighborhood. Said Dominican food . My husband whom is Dominican got excited. Small little hole in the wall. We ordered the traditional 3 golpes. Traditional Dominican breakfast. Smashed plantain with red Ionian, fried cheese, salami and eggs however you like them. We get them over easy. Plates were big and they we're differently Hispanics, but not sure about Dominican. Anyways the food was good. My 6 year old loves grill cheese we got one she liked it. Ordered water for my daughter most places just bring a plastic cup with water and straw he brought an actual bottle of water. Not a big deal. My husband got a lemonade assuming it was homemade lol it was okay. After our food was served nobody came back to see if we were okay and we waited a long time just to get our check. That personally annoys me. And my husband went to the register to pay the lady says oh your server will come . Excuse me mam we've been waiting. It also has a different name on the awning bueno something.

I recently dined at Diner, and I have to say it was a delightful experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The retro decor added a charming touch to the place.The menu offered a wide variety of classic diner options, and I opted for their signature burger and a milkshake. The burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, while the milkshake was thick and indulgent - just like a classic diner should serve.What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal. They were also very accommodating with dietary preferences, which is always appreciated.

We needed a quick bite for lunch. My coworker recommended this place for great quick Dominican food and boy was she right. It's a quaint little diner with a choose your own food over rice. The motherly lady behind the counter heaped generous helping of pork, beef stew over white rice. My coworker opted for the rice and beans and roast pork. We thought w wouldn't be able to finish but to our surprise our plate was clean at the end. The beef stew was flavorful and tender. The roast pork was equally delicious but I was so glad I asked for a chunk of the skin. It didn't look like it but it was crunchy and the fat melted in your mouth. It was so good!

My friend and I were looking for a coffee shop and stumbled upon this place. First thing is that the name on the restaurant is Buen Sabor, a Dominican restaurant. My expectation was a traditional coffee shop but it was a pleasant surprise that it was a restaurant that serves delicious Dominican food. The food was delicious and I was able to switch the salami for turkey bacon. The coffee was strong and delicious. The service was okay. Reason being is that my friend and I tried to split the bill however the waitress made a mistake and charged me twice. Oh well the great food made up for that mistake!

First thing to note it's called "Buen Sabor". I almost didn't find the place so they should really consider doing something about this 2 names things. Other than that though, the food was great, authentic Dominican breakfast. I had the tres golpes and it was such a good variety of flavors. Loved the pickled onions on the plantains. The coffee was strong and the service was great.

Searching for the best Dominican breakfast in queens and came across this little gem. I got the "Tres Golpes" which consists of eggs, fried cheese, salami, and mangú. It was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the cheese coulda been a little more fried but overall delish. Hubby got the pancakes with bacon, and the bacon wasn't as crispy as desired and looked like precooked bacon. The staff was great and friendly and the place was reminiscent of a Miami cafeteria which I loved. They were playing the fire jams too!

It is now called Buen Sabor. Our go-to here is the Tres colpes dominican breakfast. I also liked their mondongo (tripe soup), generous with the tripe. They have lunch specials, varies by day. On our first visit, staff were getting confused with our order, so we got charged different from menu price for some items but we gave the place a try again and was much better. Staff is nice.

HORRIBLE SERVICE my friend and I stopped for bacon, eggs and home fries. Got the toast first after 20 minutes I, questions when is food coming they bring us eggs and home fries tell us they are making bacon have to wait another 10 minutes. At that moment I told the owner this was unacceptable we have cold toast waiting half hour for food to get breakfast served in stages. Restaurant only had a couple besides us two. Busy taking phone orders to go and not servicing customers inside restaurant. Had waitress about 3 of them doing the take out order. We didn’t eat I offered to pay for whatever food was brought out. Owner didn’t want money which was the correct thing to do. My friend and I ended going to Village Dinner Kew Gardens for breakfast. Much better service.
