It was just horrible. The lady was as rude as can be and the empanadas tasted like fried fish and the was just beef with no seasoning at all. The kids where not allowed to have a good time.. the lady was rude about everything!!

Order bakalow with a side order of plantains. Was pretty good, but she charged $17 for a medium size while the other Nelly's in Poughkeepsie on main charges thst for a large. Also said price was $21 but I had to ask for receipt. Upon review, she charged $23 as the base amount. Won't be going back.

The food was delicious, the service was ok. The person behind the counter was attentive, but gave me the feeling like he wanted me to hurry up and order my food. He was friendly and he didn't rush me. He was sitting at a table when we came in, on his phone. And I think he wanted to go back to what he was watching on his phone, and he did when he finished taking our order. The place needs updating a fresh coat of paint or something. The other person there was washing the floors while we were eating and that was kinda like not good. I don't want to see or smell a dirty mop while I'm eating. The price seemed a little high for what we ordered. Normally a plate of food at a take out place for two, use to be under $25.00 -$40.00 so when he said $40.00. I had to look at the menu to make sure. The lunch prices were slightly less. But it was after 1:00 pm so he charged like it was dinner price. I wasn't bad. I just wasn't expecting to go to lunch with the helper and pay $40.00. I would recommend this place to people, but I will let them know it's not a average lunch spot price.

I love New Nellys but this summer ordering an empenada has turned into a game of empenada roulette... will it be chicken & cheese?? Maybe, if luck is on my side that day. It could just as likely be a cheeseless chicken empenada or even a cheeseless beef empenada! To be served a cheeseless empenada is a major bummer, for me anyways. That said, when I'm given the actual item that I ordered: it's delicious!

My family and I have been customers of this restaurant since the first week it began services in Poughkeepsie and the service has always been excellent; The exquisite food, magnificent customer service, maintain the typical flavor of Dominican food. Highly recommended to taste at the same restaurant which is perfectly located in one of the best areas of Poughkeepsie or to order for your group activities (catering).

Excellent service, the food is always impeccable and delicious. They always welcome people with great kindness, the natural juices are 100% natural and delicious. The amount of food is good for such affordable prices, an excellent place to remember the flavor of our land, the Dominican Republic.

Haven't been there in a while. The rice and pork was really salty. Really over priced had two small take out orders of rice with chickpeas and roasted pork .$34 mostly a lot of rice ,but the roasted pork rations were very small. Very disappointed I am not the only one that has been dissatisfied .Danny's on main st. Poughkeepsie is cheaper ,better and they serve more. They gave me a response that They thought I was wrong because small pork is $10. Regardless of price they are cheap with the ration of roasted pork I enclosed a picture. End of story you need to give customers more pork period! Plus their food just sits there even Vassar students go else where and with yuppie face lift of businesses no one is really eating at new nelly's or ordering take out food surprised they are still even open.I went to the Raymond ave location .Doesn't matter what location or price just give customers more meat instead of so much rice period! stop being so dam stingy with food that sits there for hrs. Also the rice was grainy and under cooked and salty as hell. Please go to Danny's on main street Poughkeepsie.
