Dominican Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“This place is no doubt one of the most pleasant restaurants in the area. Always when I come there I am remarkably pleased. They keep their high standard service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You are always happy with this place. Highly recommended.“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“Nice view, delicious dessert, decent prices, clean place, friendly staff“

“The food was great it really reminds me of my moms cooking! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and really reminds me of DR. The service was also amazing all of the restaurant staff were so kind looking forward to trying more food here :)“

“Decent food after movie, can be long line, chaotic, quick service kinda and huge menu.

I wouldn’t come again. The service is okie and food is so so. I am not a fan but it’s definitely well made for the chicken. They could have use organic chicken for the price.

I think they get busy during regular hour. We got here on an odd hour. Good service.“

“July 8 2024 order some rice and 2 porkchop the lady gave me 2 ham steak which was very salty not too please at all so when you order make sure it's what u ask for I don't speak Spanish!!!!!“

“What a beautiful experience! We tried the baked chicken, oxtail, and a chicken sandwich, and everything was spectacular. The food has that homemade flavor that is so hard to find, as if it had been cooked with the same love as at home. We will be back soon!“

“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."“

“My experience at El Tina was excellent. Firstly, Katherine and Oliver's customer service met my expectations. A very pleasant atmosphere and the food I 100% recommend, good presentation, very fresh and a magnificent flavor! All delicious. I invite you to come and taste their dishes.“

“Canela Coffee, right off Eastern Parkway, is a great spot for a strong cup of coffee and chill vibes. The cozy interior features cool artwork of music legends like Hendrix, Marley, and Tupac. Big windows let in lots of natural light, making it a perfect place to relax or work.

The coffee is excellent, and the staff is super friendly. If you're in the area, definitely check it out!

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

“This is the definition of hole in the wall. It’s very unassuming but inside is modern and clean and the food smells as good as it taste. I had to try the staple white rice beans and chicken. As a Latino I know they’re caned beans but well seasoned and good chicken juicy not dry and flavorful. Customer service top tier. She was enthusiastic and polite. Coming back and pics will follow.

So upon further review I would like to retract my prior statement about the beans. They are not from a can. I was talking to the owners who showed me they do beans the right way. It’s beautiful to see owners who care and actually read things. They will continue to get my business.“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“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.“

“Came here to get some fresh chicharrón because it is definitely one of the best in NY. Chicharron at other Elsa Chicharron locations is always so nasty and flavor wise you can only taste the pork but no seasoning or salt of deliciousness whatsoever, like they don’t even wash the meat before cooking, but DEFINITELY NOT the case in this one location.
Their chicharron is not only fresh, but also very tasty, crispy but soft and not greasy at all.

Chicharron has been proven to be healthy, so if you’re looking into diet or just wish to get some GOOD GOOD chicharron, come to this one location!!!“
