Dominican Restaurants near Queens Village, NY

“I was referred here by my friend who buys food from here often and shared and it's always delicious. My husband and I come from long island as often as we can now because we have never been disappointed with all the food we bought. Staff and owners are wonderful and very welcoming and grateful for our patronage which we love. The portions are great and pleasantly pleased that they include plantains. My absolute favorite is the beef stew, always mouth watering and tender. We will continue to return. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

The food was AMAZING, everyone there was so friendly and the environment felt like home. It was an extremely delicious and affordable lunch. Definitely returning and bringing more friends and family next time“

“Karaoke night was great But need it more space for dancing“

“We were supposed to eat at another restaurant, Anny, but when we got there, they informed us that they would only accept cash. Yet there was no ATM. We started walking on 116th, looking for an ATM. Instead, we found this place to eat. It's a buffet style place with only one booth style table. The best thing was that the food was good and the price was right.“

“El Rincón Dominicano is a restaurant in Hempstead known for its delicious Dominican and Spanish food. We ordered the chicharrón which was moist and crisp. Just the way it should be cooked. I had the grilled stead. It was very flavorful and tender. My niece had the skirt steak which was out of this world. The steak melted in your mouth. My sister-ion-law had the pernil which is her favorite. The food is cooked to perfection, and we left with plenty for another meal. The staff is helpful, friendly, and attentive, providing great customer service. Parking is a bit of an issue, but we were lucky in getting a spot in the lot. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are offered. El Rincón Dominicano is well-loved by my family. While we live in NJ, we will visit again.“

“Always busy, clean. Good prices. I have noticed overtime Walmart breads are salty/high in sodium. Whenever I eat I feel so very thirsty. I don't get that feeling at eating bread from elsewhere. Anyways I go there mostly for car oil and Gatorade.“

“Gustitos is a place where you are welcomed no matter what. They treat you here with so much love and respect. I love coming here to eat or just to have a couple of beers. The ladies here are sweet and give you great customer service. I will recommend this place to anyone. Come and see for yourself. Food is on point and it definitely hits.“

“I have been eating from here for literal years! My dad introduced me to their food about 10 years ago and I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet.

The food here is consistently flavorful, fresh, and made with love. It doesn’t matter if I eat in the restaurant or order takeout the food here is always a 10/10! My go to order is the Grilled Shrimp Scampi ( Camarones ) with garlic sauce and white rice with beans. My fiancé always orders their Pernil with rice and beans.

If you are thinking of getting food from here, do it! The staff is super friendly and the food is as good as it looks!“

“I was craving a Cubano. I should have asked how they make theirs. The sandwich I got was good but it wasn't a Cubano. My idea of a Cuban sandwich is Roast pork, sliced ham, swiss cheese, a pickle and mustard. Hero bread pressed flat. I hear some people use salami instead of ham. The sandwich I recieved had no pickle no cheese no mustard and was not pressed. I'll give them another try because their food looked good in the trays. If I get another Cubano, I'll ask them if they can make it my way.“

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

“I just stopped in to purchase some lotto tickets and felt very welcomed. I could smell food being prepared and am very excited to stop in for something delicious the next time I'm there. The snacks available are of a wide range and the staff is very sweet!“

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

“The best of the best Dominican food in queens. Chivo (goat) was ? even if you don’t like goat, you will like their goat. Roast chicken is amazing as well. Beans, rice, tostones, onion, all the Dominican staples are as good as they come. Huge servings, very affordable. It’s a casual restaurant with high quality service. The staff are all very polite. Good place for families - they didn’t mind that our toddler made a mess. I’m def going back again and bringing more friends and family.

Kid-friendliness: They had kid chairs and didn’t mind that our kid made a mess“

“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?!?!“

“The best mofongo in the world!“

“I’ve frequent this place at least 4 times a month, sometimes more. And one thing I can say with confidence is that the speed of service is so slow. Sometimes all I order is a juice and the wait time is 15 mins because they get caught up talking to other customers. The wraps are great and so are the juices but the wait time is very undesirable.“

“El Sabor de la Esquina is a fantastic find! The food was fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor — truly felt like a taste of home cooking. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, genuine dishes in a friendly, casual atmosphere.“

“The place was nice, the service was good, and it would have been nice to see the menu with the prices. Our order changed from $28 to $42 dollars and we were not too happy about that. It's okay. We may come back and we need to save money for that. The place felt more like a bar.“

“Don’t even hesitate just go!!! Food is unreal lol Prices might be the best in town and you know that the food is going to be good when another customer has to order it for you due to a language barrier. Wow. The chicken empanadas are to die for. Picture(s) will not do this place enough justice. The bar while you wait for your food is the finishing touch. Might go back tomorrow if they are open“

“super great food, awesome service and the ladies there were top notch. definitely recommend.“

“New customer here. This restaurant was recommended by the JP auto people and it did not disappoint.

Context: The stars represent the real value of place, not to say the five star for food here compares with a 5 star Michelin rated establishment that cost 300 percent more.

I ordered half chicken half steak on Spanish rice with a country club Frambuesa Raspberry soda. The bill came to about 15 dollars with tip. They deserve more!

The food was delicious. Chicken was tender and marinated in a flavorful broth. The steak was similarly tender but had additional peppers and onions and other flavors that made it stand out. The rice was full of flavor and really could be it's own meal.

The service was exceptional and the woman at the front desk was very thoughtful and stepped through all the dishes they had to offer while giving great suggestions.

The atmosphere was good to. This is not a fine dining experience, but a local spot for and by locals. I could tell the people that team the business and the patrons of it were friendly and that created a really warm atmosphere.

I recommend you try this place out of you are even curious about Dominican and Spanish food or just want to support a local business.“

“acen una carnita de red con tostones eso es el final“

“Absolutely love the place, very friendly people, giving good vibes. The foods are amazing and highly recommended giving some of the drinks a try too. I loved the orange juice drink, a solid 11/10 if you like orange juice. Maybe after some food, a little drink at the bar that is right next door. An ideal pair for sure!“

“Great food and excellent fast service.“

“Breakfast one morning with my wife made us know the JS had to stand for Jesus Saves! We were pleasantly pleased to find the crowd coming through was a sign that everyone knew about the experience we were about to have. I was greeted with a smile as my wife found us a seat and the host took my order. I told her we'd be staying and she invited me to have a seat, as she would serve our meal. The music was inspirational, the aroma of deliciousness filled the air and the food was plated and presented perfectly. Yes, we came hungry and JS did not disappoint! My wife and I have traveled miles in the past to eat the quality of food that is now in our backyard. Another gem has been found in the Jewel of Jamaica - Jesus Saves!“

“***GREAT PRICE***

We found this place leaving an event. We had been treated very bad visiting other restaurants in the area, I'm sure most of it was language barrier but I don't want to use that as an excuse, we walked in this place and even though our service didn't speak English she found some one that did a young lady had to be no older than 11 and she was such a big help so we definitely tipped her as well $20 she was so grateful the owner also was the cook and he took pride in his place and his food, it was fresh and a nice helping and they met some personal requests so I am very grateful and my husband and I will definitely be going back.“

“This is a small restaurant but full of flavor, the food is very fresh and delicious. A breakfast ? or lunch is perfect here, it is not expensive, I highly recommend the meatballs, they are delicious and when they make tail, my mouth waters. I recommend you try it, and the ladies who serve are very nice and attentive, they don't make faces or have an attitude at all, I really love it“

“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.“

“Pio Pio sauce and the mystery of it“

“Hands down my fav latino restaurant in South Ozone.

The staff is friendly, the fools feels fresh, they are willing to give you the spices you want (as lemon) so it can fit your taste (as in the picture where I got fried tilapia)

In picture (left)
Fried Fish ($3 per piece) chicken, rice and beans (really good beans) with white rice and lemonade.

Please keep it going I will keep coming back!“

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

“Great spot, solid basic food, no frills, fast service. One of the few places you can eat decently without getting a ton of plastic (they serve food on plates with metal utensils). And they don't raise their prices every few months like Claudette's, Super Burrito, the bagel place on 96th, everywhere on the boardwalk, etc.“

“Ordered via Uber Eats around 11 PM and everything arrived hot and fresh! I have been hunting for great Dominican food in Queens and this place nailed it. The fried red snapper was satisfying, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Honestly I was most impressed by the generous portion of tostones. Most places barely give you any but they did not skimp. This is officially my favorite Dominican spot!“

“What a hidden gem this place is! The food is great—the beans are nice and thick, not watered down like at many other places in the area. I had the stew beef, which was incredibly flavorful and not overly salty. The rice was perfectly soft, not hard or oily. If you’re like me and appreciate food that is cooked properly, this is the place to go. I will definitely be coming back for more!“

“Muy buen lugar para comprar tienen mis product is favoritos.i son my amables...Thanks“

“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“

“For quick, low cost, authentic food, this is the place. The servers are ready to help you the minute you get in and a lot of the food is fresh and ready to go with no wait. Seating is available if you want to take your time and they have desserts too. Parking is a bit challenging as there is only street parking near a bus stop, but its worth parking down the block and taking the walk for the quality, taste, and service you get at Mirador.“

“comida muy deliciosa y a muy buen precio“

“The chicken beans and rice was so delicious! Chicken was tender flavorful & perfectly cooked. Everyone who works here was so kind and attentive. Dominican food as good or better as any i’ve had in the city. Definitely come here before after or during your beach day.“

“I'm Asian and my Asian friend and I were walking in Jackson Heights and we passed by and ate here. Although we don't speak Spanish, the owner does speak English. We can communicate normally ~ I want to dine here again ~ I wonder if the owner will guess who I am after seeing this message???????“
