Merienda’s was so good! The owner was so nice to us everything was great!
Merienda’s served us a delicious, homey, heaping plate of chicken, rice, salad and beans for an unbelievably low price (Only $5 for a weekday lunch special)! Definitely a five-star experience!
Homemade and tasty Dominican food. Very authentic. We will return for sure. We were tired of what they offer in Manhattan, between fast food and posh. This place was a relief.
Merienda is a delightful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and exceptional food, known for its authentic Spanish and Dominican hospitality. The menu features exquisite dishes, including chicken, arepas, steak, and rice platters. A unique $5 platter deal is highly recommended for its excellent value and delicious food. The grilled chicken is a must-try, with its tender, juicy, and well-seasoned meat. While the rice is average on its own, it pairs wonderfully with the flavorful baked beans. The restaurant also offers a $4 breakfast special and a $5 lunch/dinner special. The egg salad received mixed reviews, but other sides and dishes were highly praised. Overall, Merienda is a hidden gem in the neighborhood, offering a memorable dining experience and large enough to fit a large family due to the ambiance.
