“A true authentic Dominican experience. This is the closest flavors to the food I grew up with, compared to what I've had at home and from visiting family in Dominican Republic. No gate-keeping! I want to make sure they get all the love and recognition they deserve. What incredible food, the options rotate daily, they don't have a menu. Not even sure if they have a phone, so just pop in and get your fix! The lady working the counter is incredibly sweet and you can tell cares for her patrons and the community.

Sin duda una de la mejores comida Dominicana en el alto Manhattan, y son bien amable.“

“Very authentic Dominican food at a great price. The people here are super friendly.
I had the sancocho with rice and a mofongo de pernil, both cooked the traditional way and full of flavor. Portions were generous, everything tasted homemade and was affordable (extra charge for credit card). Simple, honest Dominican food with no frills. Would come back.“

“The food was really good. I’d Recommend getting the baked chicken I was licking my That’s how good it was . The atmosphere was great the waitresses were really nice. The new management has really lived up the place. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“muy buena atención y rica comida“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“I stopped by this little restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. I ordered a mangú con tres golpes and it was absolutely on point, well prepared, flavorful, and just the comfort food I was craving. The jugo de Chinola was not overly sweet and it was just right and refreshing, as it should be.

The service was just as great. Yadira took care of us with a big smile, quick service, and genuine kindness that made the experience even better. For such a small spot, it really delivers in both taste and hospitality.

Recommended 100%“

“I was there yesterday to try the food for the first time and I must must say that The food at Patacon Pisao in Elmhurst it’s delicious 😋, amazing plantains stuffed with pull pork!! Is the best hands down!!!“

“Although very chaotic when ordering The food here is spot on most of the meals I get from here make me take a nap at lunch which is a good thing I do recommend this place's food just make sure to go when it's not so crowded it feels like the stock exchange“

“Great experience I’m after a sometime at the Cloisters. Food was delicious, Rice and beans with the pickles unions and white beans has the perfect bite. The stewed goat was good. The lady who served us was friendly and very helpful in deciding what to eat. Good vibes and family feel. I’ll be back with the family.“

“Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere!“

“Everytime I come here with my friend we get the same thing but for today the service was good but the food always have a different taste to it. Idk what's with some of the females that serve here but there's only two milagros and shorty that show some manners and kindness to a man in a wheelchair. I observe the atmosphere and it's nothing bad. Mi thank Jah for the kindness they have because some times my friend can't make it home and he is able to eat and charge his wheelchair. Of course we buy some food. Always show some kindness. It goes a long way. Blesses 😘“

“Amazing Dominican food!!! so much options to choose from and everything we had was delicious. Had a chicken pasta that was amazing and the Chicharron is also a must try.. octopus was OK.. but overall food was amazing for a 24 hour spot! and the service was more than what we expected. It’s a hole in the wall not much seating, but they made us feel so comfortable and welcomed.!!“

“The food was very good. Our table ordered a sampling platter and everything on it was delicious. I also ordered a pollo monfango which was very filling and satisfying. However, despite the good food we were really the only people in the restaurant and our wait for our food was over an hour. We were a party of 5 which may have contributed to it, though.“

“Great place to eat - we need to support our mom and pop restaurants!“

“Yum. Loved combo #1 for my family, chicken + rice + beans + tostones. Thank you!“

“👍 perfect........................“
