“First time trying their breakfast dishes here and I ordered mashed plantain called mangu with pickled onions, chicharron/fried pork and fried mozzarella cheese. I also tried the fruit orange drink with milk forgot the names. Will come back to try their lunch options. Only thing I hate about going here is the difficulty finding a parking spot. Not easy lol“

“i ate here for the first time and got mofongo and a limeade. the mofongo was delicious and they give you a generous serving of gravy! it’s classic dominican, exactly what you’d expect. the mofongo does take a bit long bc it’s made fresh but the waitresses were nice and accommodating. a casual atmosphere with good food“

“This place is hands down the BEST Dominican fritura spot in NYC! The food is delicious, full of flavor and FRESH. The service was phenomenal and Laysha was amazing. She put us on to the best items on the menu and we walked out completely full, satisfied and beyond happy. I’ll be posting a Reel and video on TikTok (@radiantcin). Gracias por esta comida deliciosa y buen servicio 🫶🏽👏🏽🇩🇴We also created a new name for their dish pictured here!!! Tierra & Alas!“

“Service was quick and food was good. Recommend this spot. Get there early they look like they get busy“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“If you're looking for some of the best Dominican food in the US, it's here - down a few steps, in this pool hall. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the habichuelas (beans). The gallina was tender to the point it was falling off the bone, and the rice was fluffy and full of flavor. This is truly a place where you can taste the love.“

“This is my favorite local spot, the staff is the best & the food �������“

“Hole in the wall restaurant; a great find if you live, work, or gym in the area. The food was freshly made and tasted great. The only downside was the wait was long for our order (smoothies and breakfeast) and it was on the more expensive side considering the order but overall, phenomenal.“

“For the first time I visited this fried food and I can tell you that I loved it, from the quality, the flavor, the portion that was too much and the price, not to mention super economical, we ordered a varied tray, a hotdog and a juice and everything was very delicious and the preparation was very Quick, I will definitely come back ?“

“Todos los platos son excelentes👍🏼“

“The food is average, the cashiers are nasty and unprofessional, and prices are clearly changed (sometimes double) based on who is ordering, with foreigners coming from the airport being taken advantage of. Was told to go in with a Spanish speaker to not get taken advantage of.... can you imagine?!?!“

“Service was quick and food was good. Recommend this spot. Get there early they look like they get busy“

“My last visit to Elsa La Reina del Chicharrón was nothing short of amazing. Elsa truly lives up to her name the queen of chicharrón! perfectly seasoned pork, and the flavor doesn’t disappoint. The chicharrón was crispy, juicy, and full of that authentic sazón that’s hard to find anywhere else in the city.

You can tell everything is made with love and pride. The service was friendly, fast, and made me feel like family. If you’re in New York and haven’t been to Elsa yet, you’re seriously missing out. She’s simply the best nobody does it like Elsa!“

“Im a weekly client here, this lil spot always comes thru on those late work days, rice and beans, roasted chicken, soups, u name it... as close to home cooked as u will ever get, staff is quick and good size portions

Vegetarian options: Steamed veggies, rice and beans, soups, spagettis, plantains(green,yellow)“

“Best food in the 161 court area of the Bronx. Hands down. I also used them to cater my holiday party and the food was Top notch !!! Also the everyday food menu is extensive so there's something for everyone and the sandwich guy is official !!“

“I had a construction project in the neighborhood so i decided to try some Dominican food. I chose the right place; food was delicious. Even the girls didn't speak much English but they try their best to communicate with me.
Bathroom was extremely CLEAN !
I recommend this place to eat your lunch.

“The prices are great, the staff is really friendly. The food is amazing! And I don't eat just any Caribbean food. You'll love this place!“

“I’ve been visiting this restaurant since I moved to the area, and I truly have nothing but great things to say. I’ve come during different shifts, and the staff has always been kind and helpful. I usually visit at night, and Wendy is typically my server — she’s always attentive, friendly, and makes sure everything is perfect.

The food is amazing, and if any mistakes are made, they’re always willing to fix them quickly to make sure you’re completely satisfied. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or stopping by for lunch during the less busy hours :)“

“Delicious food and always happy people“

“Buenisssimaaaaaaaa. Me encanto el lugar“

“The food here is decent but it depends what you order. The empanadas were on the smaller side and were cold. The beef one was good but the chicken one was dry. The chicken stew was good and they gave me a lot of it. The portion sizes and the way the food is cooked always varies and it’s never the same which is disappointing. For two empanadas and a chicken stew platter with rice and beans, it came out to $26, which I thought was a little expensive.“

“The best chimis in the Bronx;quality, hygiene, and good service😋👌“

“The customer service here is great. My son and I always come here , for breakfast or lunch to service is great.Joanna the lady behind the counter is a lovely lady.This is a family own so it seems. They are all wonderful people and I recommend this place to all.“

“This was a celebratory gathering for a colleague's birthday. The bar setting wasn't quite a vibe I enduldge in regularly but if you're looking for a place to socialize, drink and watch sports. This place has it all going at once.
My most favorite aspect was the food. For a social sports bar. I was pleasantly surprised at food options offered. I am a vegan, keto, vegetarian 🥵 yes I know! Its a mouthful but my allergies call for a specific diet to maintain optimum health. I digress, they offered 3 types of French fries, Buffalo cauliflower, sautéed garlic broccoli. All fit me narrow feeding needs. So need a place for a diverse dining?? This is a great store to try out“

“We come in for lunch all the time and the food is so fresh and flavorful. Thank you to all the ladies who work here and you can’t forget the cooks!! The chicken they cook on the grill is amazing! Take a stop in and grab some lunch here you won’t be disappointed“

“Super delicious staff are so nice“

“Delicious food and atmosphere, also the ladies that work there are gorgeous.“

“Higher prices than other similar restaurants yet the service and quality make up for it. The place is nice and has a bar with a lot of food options. Breakfasts best plate is Mangu with morir soñando and lunch would be Oxtail with rice,beans with a small salad
And tostones.“

“Honestly, this is one of the best Dominican restaurants in the city, but what really won me over was the beans. They're so good and I never really go for beans at most restaurants. Only thing that holds them back is the lack of chicken on occasion.“

“Had a really great experience here from the moment I walked in. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which immediately made the place feel comfortable instead of rushed or overly formal.

I actually came in looking for a specific dish that had been recommended to me, but I completely forgot the name of it. The staff member helping me was incredibly patient and helpful while we tried to figure it out, and they ended up pointing me in the right direction without making me feel awkward about it at all.

The food itself ended up being excellent. Everything looked fresh and well prepared, and the flavors matched the presentation. You could tell care went into both how the meal was made and how it was served. It had that balance of being satisfying and flavorful without feeling overly heavy.

What stood out most was how easy and pleasant the whole experience felt. Good food is important, but friendly service like that is what really makes a place memorable and makes people want to return. Definitely somewhere I’d come back to again.“

“Just had soup. Very good. Employees very nice, good service. Reasonable prices. Very busy. Little tables. Comfortable, nice atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Place is friendly to everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level.“

“I STOP IN FOR THE FANTASTIC FOOD,ESPECIALLY THE RICE DISHES AND ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. ITS THE BEST...IM SO GLAD ITS SO CLOSE TO MY HOUSE BESIDES THE STAFF IS VE R Y NICE AS WELL“

“Great food and it’s all super fresh. They even have a different menu based on the day of the week. The owner Georgina knows everyone’s name who comes in and is so nice. Really a great neighborhood spot.
I got a huge portion and a glass of wine for $22“

“Ordered the family meal with bistec encebollado which my family loved, the white rice could have been better, there was a staple on the bottom of the rice, I am to assume they were grappling and one flew to the tin, not a big deal the family loved the food.

I ordered a mofongo de cerdo, it was not the best; the pork had rib pieces (which I have never had pork like this with mofongo) and the meat was
burnt beyond being edible, I wish the mofongo was more garlicky, the sauce was yummy but again the burnt pieces of pork was somewhat disappointing. If you are a monfingo enthusiast, please do not get your hopes up.

I ordered for delivery.“

“I Order the pernil with rice and beans and Platanos. I always get a dessert. I’ve ordered just about everything on the menu already. They have individual servings and for groups. I recommend to friends, family, businesses and group gathering’s. They never disappoint. Been a loyal customer for over 20 years now. I always get wine. Beautiful decor welcoming clean amazing fast service“

“Great food & the service is great ....Waiters are always smiling...Great atmosphere“

“I recently ate here and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The warm ambiance and rustic decor created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal.Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the Spanish chicken. The menu boasted a variety of flavorful dishes, each showcasing the chef’s expertise in combining traditional Spanish flavors with a modern twist. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior that left my taste buds dancing.The appetizers were equally impressive, with options ranging from patatas bravas to chorizo croquettes. Each bite was a burst of Spanish authenticity. The chef’s commitment to using high-quality ingredients was evident, enhancing the overall dining experience.The drink menu featured a well-curated selection of Spanish wines and cocktails that complemented the meal superbly. The sangria, in particular, was a refreshing choice that added to the festive atmosphere of the restaurant.What truly stood out was the attention to detail in presentation. Each dish was a work of art on the plate, showcasing the chef’s dedication to not only taste but also aesthetics.As for the dessert, the churros were a delightful way to end the meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and accompanied by rich chocolate dipping sauce—a sweet ending to a savory journey.In summary, this Spanish chicken restaurant exceeded my expectations. From the inviting ambiance to the delectable dishes, every aspect of the dining experience was carefully crafted. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Spain with a modern flair. ¡Delicioso! Highly recommend“

“So, I came here because I was craving some Dominican chicken soup. They didn't have it ready when I went but it's fine. I ended up ordering the tripe soup. The soup was quite tasty and had a generous amount of vegetables. I had no problems placing the order and found the staff very pleasant and welcoming. It probably doesn't hurt to speak decent Spanish, but honestly, if you're in New York, speaking a little Spanish is helpful. Prices were fair and service was fast. All in all, I would recommend eating here.

Parking: Parking is a little difficult here, but what can you do?“

“I always wanted to try so I finally did. The chicken was soo good. I just wish they gave more wasakaka sauce. I had to ask for one instead of getting it automatically with my order. And they only gave one which isn’t enough for me to enjoy my chicken with. The plantains were good as well. Some were still undercooked I wish they fried it a bit longer . But other than that the chicken and plantains were pretty good🤤🤤“

“Google this spot came up. We pulled up place looked invited. The staff was engaging. The food was being freshly made my guy on the grill doing the Spanish style jerk chicken without the heat. The chicharon was moist and delicious. The steak my friend had was nice, plantains was right. Hey, going back very soon.“

“Half of the space is setup as a dance place. Romantic lighting, a bar, and dance music. It seemed very nice if that's what you want. But the music was very loud- if you were just there to eat. The food is delicious and the staff is extremely nice and professional.“
