“We ordered 5 dozen for thanksgiving dinner and they were a hit with everyone at the party! Will definitely order more for Christmas. After the holidays we are looking forward to order custom ones like the shrimp and the crab. Thank you so much for these delicious pasteles.“
“I think the taste of the food was great and it was a good size for the price, we ordered rice and pork, we ate it there and also the beans, and I can say they have one of the tastiest beans, I was very satisfied even with I am not a fan of Spanish food, but they were delicious.“
“Awesome food and customer service! I only wished their maduros were softer and sweeter. I ordered delivery and they forgot some stuff. Called them back and they sent it right away. The food was delicious! The people (on phone and delivery person) were very nice. Next time I'm in NY, I'll order from here again!“
“The place is pretty small, more of a takeout style since there are only 2 stools alongside the narrow counter. I ordered the traditional chimi chimi minus the mayonnaise since I just hate mayonnaise. The sandwich comes with the beef patty, pan de agua, green tomatoes, and white cabbage, and the sauce is a mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and hot sauce. I got the homemade tamarind juice to drink. The chimi was pretty good, I loved that they really kept it traditional with the green tomatoes and white cabbage. The sauce mixture was very good. The meat itself was a bit dry and lacked flavor so you definitely need the sauce to up the flavor. The tamarind juice was absolutely delicious and tasted, just like how they make it in DR. The fried cheese balls were just ok. We also ordered the beef empanadas, which were probably my favorite item along with the delicious green sauce. The service was great. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want to eat chimis.“
“The food was amazing everything look good but the baked chicken was so good and flavorful cooked to perfection. The rice mixed with black beans and veggies so good the avocado a wide selection of drinks. Service was amazing everyone was smiling talking to customers.. ambiance pretty just 12pm on. A Monday“
“As a Latina, i can say the following statement: THE BEST EMPANADAS IN THE CITY. So delicious, they even have their name branded on the dough. Just, so creative with the fillings. I got the shrimp and guava/cheese empanadas and I had to order more. Please come in here and try them out. You will not be disappointed !!!!!!“
“The Food at Brisas Del Mar is in Far Rockaway the food looked absolutely delicious there were some good choices to choose from that was on their menu and the service was good I was taken care right away and the price was good for what I picked out I would go again when I get the chance check them out if you're in the area ???“
“I went for first time as recommendation. I am looking for a place that has good food where I can order trays for a party. The staff was helpful and during a busy time which seems like it always is for them. They were able to get my order (sampling the food options) put together quickly. I will definitely be placing my party trays with them for my upcoming event. The food I ordered to sample was great and tastes home made.“
“I came to NYC around a month ago and I was looking for a place like this one, where you can buy affordable, delicious and reasonably healthy food (having eaten too many burgers and sandwiches this month). The portion sizes are quite big, I barely managed to eat all of the meat and half of the rice. The price is similar to what you'd pay to buy a meal at McDonalds, so going to this place instead is a no-brainer. The corn bread was amazing!That being said, I am giving the atmosphere just 1 star because I had the worst time waiting inside. It was also so loud that I could barely hear the person who served me both times I was there. The staff was patient and friendly enough though. The other customers, not so much. In my country, when a place is crowded, you usually wait near the door until the line starts moving, which is what I did. Someone must have thought that I was trying to cut the line and literally whistled at me and pointed to a spot behind him like I was a dog. 5 years ago, I would've left never to return again, but I understand that this is not the fault of the staff, so I stayed and bought a delicious meal. It is advisable to avoid the lunch rush and other customers some of who lack basic manners.“
“I celebrated my PhD yesterday in this excellent restaurant. I am glad to say that we had a terrific evening and the place was no doubt one of the reasons for that fruitful celebration. The crew contributed in a very nice manner, the cooking was very good and my friends were so thrilled. We shall no dout visit again for more events. Thank you very much.“
