Niurka upon meeting her was very sweet charismatic and ensured to answer all of our questions before booking the space. We kept in communication to make sure everything was right before the night of the dinner. The night of the dinner she made sure everything was set up before our arrival! Every person working that night was professional, friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was amazing as well. This was my first time here, and I will definitely return for another dinner night!“

“It was my first time trying Empanada Queen, a food truck in Baldwin, and overall, it was a decent experience. They had a deal for 10 empanadas for $28, so I decided to try a variety. I went with shrimp, beef, chicken, and mac and cheese empanadas. The flavors were all pretty tasty, with the shrimp, beef, and chicken being the standouts. However, I wasn’t a fan of the mac and cheese one—it just didn’t have the right texture or flavor I was expecting.

The wait time was short, which was a nice surprise, especially since it was freezing outside! I was glad to have the car to wait in while the food was being prepared.

One thing to note is that the outer shell of the empanadas was quite hard, which made them a bit tough to bite into. On the positive side, the fillings themselves were flavorful. The only other downside was that they only offer one sauce, which had a bit of spice to it. While I didn’t mind it, I wish there were a few more sauce options to choose from.

I'd still recommend it if you're in the area and craving empanadas.“

“I stopped in for lunch yesterday. The staff is friendly & curteous. I had the Carne Asada Burrito with a side of Maduros and glass of Horchata. Everything was super delicious! I'll be back for the Quesa Birria Tacos next! I highly recommend this restaurant. Hey Pedro, great service! I'll give it 6 out of 5 stars!“

“(Translated by Google) The best Dominican food restaurant when I have visitors there I order the roast Dominican-style pork I give them more than 100 excellent Angelina thanks for the good quality treatment(Original)El mejor restaurante de comida dominicana cuando tengo visitas ahí mando a pedir los cerdo asados estilo dominicano les doy mas que un 100 exelente angelina gracias por el buen trato calidad“

“If there was a 10 star option I’d submit it. This restaurant blew away my expectations. Sabor Peruano V makes me feel like I’m back home in Lima. The food is clean, the waiters and staff are loving and caring. Truly a place I’d be able to eat everyday no exaggeration. Counting the days until I can go back!“

“Karaoke night was great But need it more space for dancing“

“La comida es deliciosa 😋recomendado“

“Cabana in Forest Hills has that lively, island vibe — upbeat music, friendly service, and food that feels like a mini getaway. I ordered the chuleta de cerdo (pork chops) with rice, black beans, and tostones. The sides were delicious — and lucky me, the tostones came with a garlic dip, which I happily used to give my pork chops the extra kick they needed 😉. I was hoping for a bit more Dominican-style flavor from the pork, but overall, a solid spot for good vibes and Latin comfort food done right.“

“One of the best burritos I’ve ever had! I ordered the ‘Everything’ and it was an explosion of flavors. Fresh, delicious and amazing! It was clearly made with love. This one-woman run little spot is incredible and I highly recommend it.“

“Chill local spot with a Latina/Hispanic vibe. Local DJ with high energy tunes on a Saturday night.. although not crowded be prepared for "Loud" music. Bartenders attentive and friendly with drinks reasonably priced. $5 regular Coronas.. although they have "Mini Coronas" too. $5 Chicken Empanadas was huge.. and tasty too.. Definitely a local crowd..“

“Very good food.👌🏼 Excellent service. 👌🏼“

“Buen lugar para busca todos los que necesita la comida es bien buena el personaje son bueno estucado @TAXI_ESCOBITA CORP 24/7 sevicio en HEMPSTEAD y UNIONDALE Llámanos 516-476-2095“

“Well where can I start, stopped by to get something to eat after taking an exam near the location. First off the atmosphere is nice with traditional tables and chairs expected, nice Spanish music playing in the background while one enjoys their meal, a wide variety of Juices and a good selection of foods to try personally the ribs were amazing and the fried chicken even though a bit cold was delicious. The place is chill, came to to eat with my father and the pricing wasn't that bad for two huge plates of food, around $50+.

Rating: B+“

“Las pupusas son riquísimas. Solo un detalle! La espera es algo tardadita.“

“I was definitely skeptic and being on a boulevard and the outside but once inside, I was welcome immediately and given recommendations with the upmost attention to detail and customization I have a pork allergy and my nephew had a nut allergy and they were overly accommodating. My nephew also physically disabled and in a wheelchair and they went above and beyond to accommodate us with plenty of space. Love love love the food was DELICIOUS and hot made to order I loved it here def going back“

“📍 Libertad Restaurant — 96-19 Liberty Ave, Ozone Park, NY

Pulled up to this all-day Latin gem serving up Dominican staples, and it did not disappoint. I went for the Stew Beef with Moro de Habichuelas, with one perfectly caramelized Maduro on the side — talk about a combo that hits every note. 🇩🇴✨

To wash it all down? Nothing better than a classic Country Club Frambuesa, that bright Dominican raspberry soda. Sweet, bubbly, and just right.

Couldn’t resist grabbing some Dominican Chicharron with Tostones too, because let’s be honest — Dominican-style chicharron is undefeated. Crispy, juicy, perfection.

This spot is small, with limited seating, but the staff is super welcoming and the menu is loaded with options. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or taking your time, Libertad is a solid stop for some real-deal Dominican flavor.

“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!“

“This is a wonderful place, delicious food, wonderful people, they made me laugh and have a wonderful experience, and they will talk to you if you start talking and have a wonderful conversation. And it is not very expensive food, good experience ?☺️“

“First time here and it was absolutely delicious ?. I had the avocado and tostones, fried fish sandwich and a side of rice and beans. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful they put the perfect amount of lime, my fave. The fish sandwich was flavorful and crispy. The rice and beans were perfect. I'll be back again and again. Worth every dime. They where fast and the food came out hot and fresh. Service was nice and the atmosphere was chill. It a small spot nothing fancy but the quality is on point. Thank you !!!
