“muy bueno el pollo frito y el pollo asado“

“I take my family to this place from time to time! This is my favorite place to pass a nice evening. I visit this place many times. The cooking is excellent, the team is professional and the price is affordable. I enjoy eating in this place to have a nice dinner.“

“A whole vibe!!! From the moment you walk in, you are captivated. The decor, the music and the beautiful staff begin the wonderful experience that's about to occur. The food is exquisite in presentation and taste.i have visited the location in Forest Hills also but the experience in RVC is incomparable. (My daughter works near Forest Hills and frequented the other location but immediately stated she likex RVC just entering the restaurant) Iliana, Chastity, Julie and others, thank you for a great evening. Be back soon and every time I visit NY“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“I had two wonderful experiences at Mojo in August 2025, and both visits were nothing short of excellent.

On Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, I stopped by to ask if I could place an order in advance. One of the hosts, Emily, kindly explained that it wasn’t possible but shared a very helpful tip: the restaurant tends to be busy on Fridays and Saturdays due to Forest Hills Stadium concert events, while Mondays through Thursdays are much less crowded. She also patiently walked me through the vegetarian and vegan options, even pointing out which vegetarian dishes could be made vegan. Her thoughtful explanation convinced me to plan my visit for a weekday instead of the weekend.

On Tuesday, August 26th, 2025, I returned and was served by Delaney, who was incredibly friendly and energetic. She even asked whether I wanted my dishes served together or separately. Since I wanted to take a photo for my Google Maps review, I asked for both dishes to be served at the same time. I ordered the black bean burger (made vegan) and the Mojo vegan ceviche, along with a side salad instead of fries. When it came time to pay, Delaney helpfully explained that the tip was already included in the payment system, ensuring full transparency. I really appreciated that level of honesty and clear communication.

As for the food—absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and exactly how I requested for my vegan diet. Mojo is now my top recommendation for anyone looking for vegetarian or vegan options in a warm, welcoming environment.

If you love good food, great service, and a place that truly values its customers, Mojo is a must-visit.“

“Best Empanadas I've had! Great black owned business in NY, Everyone at my job loves this place“

“Great place to eat! I definitely recommend the Churrasco 🥩.“

“Delicious tamales. The moment I tried them transported me to Guatemala. It feels like they are made with love!Thank you and may God bless the hands of Mrs. Roxana. ??Tamales at this place are delicious. The moment I tasted them I was immediately imported to Guatemala. God bless the cook ?‍? Roxana ??“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) The food was very good and the staff too except the short-haired lady. A very despotic attitude, I don't know if she's the owner or what, but they always order with anyone else.(Original)La comida muy buena y el personal también excepto la sra de pelo corto. Una actitud muy despota, nose si es la dueña o que pero siempre ordenen con cualquier otra persona.“

“Muy buena atención me encanto el restaurante“

“📍 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.

“The chicken beans and rice was so delicious! Chicken was tender flavorful & perfectly cooked. Everyone who works here was so kind and attentive. Dominican food as good or better as any i’ve had in the city. Definitely come here before after or during your beach day.“

“Went to Chefs Corner this morning for breakfast. Got an omelette and it was absolutely delicious.. FANTASTIC place. The staff was awesome. Thank you Mary Ellen for your hospitality !! 👍🏻 Can’t wait to go back …“

“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“

“The food here was pretty good. We had the paella and the arroz con Pollo. The first dish we ordered with chicken breasts were so tough. It was waayyyy over cooked. I could not even cut it with a knife. The service was good. The only issue was, when presented with the bill, the waitress high lighted the tip portion. As if we didn't see the calculations of how much 20 or 25 percent was. I found that tacky and distasteful. Please don't solicit tips, you'll get more that way.“

“Honestly I’m confused at the bad reviews. Ordered from here last night. El pastor was great and the pupusas were pretty good (the el pastor was the show stealer though). My friend really liked his chicken quesadilla. The sauce could have a little more going on but not bad. Overall very“

“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 foods great! I had the Steak & Yellow rice & peas . (Huge juicy steak portion! ) My husband had the white rice w pink beans and rotisserie chicken. The taste of both foods was amazing! Tried their passion fruit juice .. GOOD TOO. Don’t know why there are some bad reviews. I looked at most of the bad reviews and they were made a few years ago. Maybe they had a different cook back then!“

“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 !!!

Vegetarian options: Quinoa salads, empanadas, tamales, avocado and tostones, rice and beans, pasta and veggies dishes, fresh salads.“

“This place was amazing! I was transported back to Ecuador and felt like I was in the Esmereldas again. I had delicious ceviche and a guanabana milkshake. The staff was so nice. Music was playing and it was a welcome, cooling respite after a day at the beach. They were cash only but also had a Zelle QR code in case you didn't have any. I can't wait to come back!“
