Dominican Restaurants near Franklin Square, NY

“This is my go-to spot, not only because it's close to home, but because the food is delicious. I cook almost everyday at home, but on days when I am not in the mood, this is where I go. Pernil is always good, as is their pollo guisado, carne guisada, and baked chicken. Mangu is on point if you make it for breakfast. Good portions.“

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

“good“

“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 ordered lemon juice with oatmeal, and they sent me oatmeal with orange. In addition, the juice flavor was from a packet, the hot dogs had very little meat, and the cabbage was unseasoned. Please consider your customers because we pay for this. You need to provide better customer service. Thank you.“

“Whenever I want some delicious food, I have to stop in here!!! Their chicharrones, beans, white rice with sweet plantains with some delicious pernil and a jarrito, are amazing! The girls are really sweet too.

They also cater if you're having a get together! 10 stars **********“

“super great food, awesome service and the ladies there were top notch. definitely recommend.“

“Placed a catering order and the food was AMAZING! The portions were perfect, and the food was packed well. The pernil and chicken had great flavor. They also gave us plenty of sauces including a garlic sauce container which was a hit. Pricing is very fair for the portions. We'll definitely be ordering again!“

“This place is amazing. The food is delicious. The prices are off the chart. I paid only $11.50 for my lunch. It should be a sin to charge these wonderful prices if the prices elsewhere are justified... By me, Buen Sabor in Forest Hills overcharges for their lunches and dishes overall. They don't pile up the food like they do here. Anyway, the pile up the dishes here. Whenever I am 20mins out when in Long Island, I will stop here for a great lunch“

“The place was nice, the service was good, and it would have been nice to see the menu with the prices. Our order changed from $28 to $42 dollars and we were not too happy about that. It's okay. We may come back and we need to save money for that. The place felt more like a bar.“

“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.“

“So for a long time i had no idea this place was so close to me, i used to order my spanish food from Mi Casa on 117th and Jamaica ave, but they wound up shutting down and reopened under new management. After searching and realizing El Rey is 8 blocks away i stopped in and decided to give them a try, i am certainly thankful i did, the food is seasoned just right without being to strong, the service was very fast and courteous, and not to mention the prices are great . i usually order the roast pork(Pernil) with white rice and beans on the side with an order of sweet plantains , and it would cost me almost 40$ at the old place i ordered from , this order was half the price i paid and was so delicious, they have a great selection , and the staff is great , even the delivery is pretty fast i only suggest confirming the address before hanging up, as they had my address wrong and my delivery took 45minutes, once it was corrected i get
my deliveries in about 15 minutes!!! hope you enjoy as much as i have , this is my new go to spot!!!!“

“Excelente servicio Amable“

“Is The Family Place good food you want to bring your family have a good meal“

“Great spot, solid basic food, no frills, fast service. One of the few places you can eat decently without getting a ton of plastic (they serve food on plates with metal utensils). And they don't raise their prices every few months like Claudette's, Super Burrito, the bagel place on 96th, everywhere on the boardwalk, etc.“

“The Dominican Restaurant – Uniondale, NY

This place is absolutely worth the drive — we live almost 40 minutes away, and we still make the trip just for their food! Every dish we’ve tried tastes homemade, full of authentic Dominican flavor and served in generous portions.

The staff is always welcoming and happy, and the service feels genuine — you can tell they take pride in what they do. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, from the pernil and rice to the beans and salad. Everything tastes like it’s cooked with care.

If you’re looking for delicious Dominican comfort food and friendly service in a casual, family-style atmosphere, this spot is 100% worth visiting. Highly recommend!“

“I go to this restaurant whenever I come to Farrock to get my hair cut usually. Since I've been coming I've stuck to the shrimp mofongo which I can say is extremely good. This past Sunday I decided to switch it up and try the red snapper and boy was I impressed! They have some of the best Spanish food I've ever tasted.“

“My Titi Delilah recommended it, It’s good. Good people. I saved a bee; they always follow me even in winter. They even tried to find a paper but I thought fast ripped the paper….there you go. Bees especially aren’t supposed to be killed. If they go the world goes remember that.

Kid-friendliness: They have some good looking fried chicken Spanish style so you know it has the right amount of flavor. Watch out Popeyes.“

“Picked up a small pernil/roast pork lunch special with yellow rice and red beans. The food was delicious. It was$13.50 for the lunch special. Only thing was they didn't have any homemade fresh garlic sauce. Other than good service, good food.“
