“This chain was recommended to us by several Peruvian folks. We found it to be authentic cuisine at a quick, easy spot for a pre-theater casual dinner that serves generous portions of Peruvian food. It is easy to eat dairy-free here. We tried a variety of things in a quick dinner run before attending a Broadway show. Chicken soups were served in a generous portion with ample portions of meat, veggies and noodles with a broth that had delightful flavor not greasy at all! My partner drank the broth after finishing. For our other selections, the Ceviche Mixto with octopus, corvina, calamari and shrimp was fresh and quite tasty, empanadas de pollo were huge and filling, and the Lomo Saltado with filet mignon was cooked medium yet the meat was still very flavorful. Last but not least the chicken was the star of the show so moist and flavorful. Next time we will try drinks and desserts possibly.“

“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.“

“Great place Definitely recommended“

“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%“

“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.“

“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 😘“

“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 food and awesome atmosphere and great 🎶 music“

“We just went for an NBA game, wings & drinks, which by the way for bar food, it was delicious, the food was fresh, hot & super tasty. As the night progressed, more & more ppl came in. By the time the game finished (Knicks w0n) the place was packed.. It went from chilling watching the game to a total turnup.. Needles to say we had a great time uptown with no incidents.“

“I've eaten here, I always order delivery from here, but this was the first time I ordered catering from here, and now this is where I need to write about how good this place is. Maria and her team went above and beyond in service and food quality. We ordered the mini empanadas and the mini puffs. Everyone loved them! From the moment I emailed them, Maria was so nice, caring and on top of everything. I highly recommend Dulce Vida. Oh, and their Sancocho is SO GOOD!“
