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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I never knew this place existed, but I’ve become a regular now. The owner has a beautiful soul, and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. They offer a variety of reasonably priced food options daily. Generous portion sizes. They also make fresh juices, smoothies, or pina coladas.“

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

“El Rincón Dominicano is a restaurant in Hempstead known for its delicious Dominican and Spanish food. We ordered the chicharrón which was moist and crisp. Just the way it should be cooked. I had the grilled stead. It was very flavorful and tender. My niece had the skirt steak which was out of this world. The steak melted in your mouth. My sister-ion-law had the pernil which is her favorite. The food is cooked to perfection, and we left with plenty for another meal. The staff is helpful, friendly, and attentive, providing great customer service. Parking is a bit of an issue, but we were lucky in getting a spot in the lot. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are offered. El Rincón Dominicano is well-loved by my family. While we live in NJ, we will visit again.“

“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 **********“

“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.“

“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.“

“Breakfast one morning with my wife made us know the JS had to stand for Jesus Saves! We were pleasantly pleased to find the crowd coming through was a sign that everyone knew about the experience we were about to have. I was greeted with a smile as my wife found us a seat and the host took my order. I told her we'd be staying and she invited me to have a seat, as she would serve our meal. The music was inspirational, the aroma of deliciousness filled the air and the food was plated and presented perfectly. Yes, we came hungry and JS did not disappoint! My wife and I have traveled miles in the past to eat the quality of food that is now in our backyard. Another gem has been found in the Jewel of Jamaica - Jesus Saves!“

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

“Excelente servicio Amable“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for amazing service and even better food, The Dominican Restaurant is the place to be. As someone who called the DR home for a decade, finding a spot that captures that genuine island feeling is rare—but this place nails it. It’s become the go-to 'home away from home' for me and all my friends.

Es como estar de vuelta en la isla, ¡una maravilla!“

“The food here is excellent—authentic, flavorful Dominican food that hits the spot every time. You really can’t beat the price, flavor, quality, and portion sizes. It’s a serious value.

You can’t go wrong with the classic combo: white rice, beans, and baked chicken—simple, hearty, and packed with flavor. The empanadas are amazing (and they sell out fast, so don’t wait!). If you make it there for breakfast, the mangu with eggs is a must.

The setting is a food court, so don’t expect a fancy atmosphere—but that’s not what you’re here for. You’re here for the food, and *man*, is it good.“

“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.“

“Liz the (waitress when I went) is a baddie & she was very polite. Stopped in with my mom to get some food. I got baked chicken with white rice & beans sauce and a side of sweet plantains. My mother got stew chicken with yellow rice. My baked chicken fell off the bone and my mother loved hers. The portions were a good sized. A single plate isn't enough for two, but its more than enough for one. I recommend this place.“
