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.“

“I have always been eating here for year and years now very great food 🥘“

“Sign reading ' Best Breakfast in New York' lured me in. The number of breakfast choices was definitely more than I"d expectedMy pastrami with egg and cheese onww toast was full, fresh and delicious .My morning walk now concludes with astop here -112 Ave & Francis Lewis Blv- for a repeatedly enjoyable breakfast“

“Absolutely amazing!!!!!! Came here for a quick dinner before the Post Malone concert in citifield and it clearly stole the show. Servers were so attentive and the food was made with so much love. They were so nice and the owner is actually a famous voice actor.“

“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.“

“Seating is limited - the food fresh and tasty- NYC rated A restaurant- staff friendly“

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

“good“

“The food is great I ordered from them two days n a row and food is fresh both times..I give the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great portions! The pernil and pollo guisado are my favorite. I’ve ordered lunch plates to stay, take out platters for group dinners, and catering orders for a party. They give such great portions. The catering orders are of course freshly made, but the lunch and take out are from the ready made trays in the store and the chicken and pernil are so tender and delicious.“

“Wonderful cuisine service is excellent“

“My boss said the best pernil on Long Island is Lucas Dominican on Grand Ave in Baldwin. If you have any stops there, swing by and get yourself a large serving, white rice, smothered in pork gravy.

Frank is many things, but a liar ain't one of 'em.

Moist, succulent pernil! Also, since she offered, the nice young lady offered las tijeras del pernil, for those who know, are the proper cutting tool needed to slather the skin on your order. Thick, crunchy skin placed purposefully on my plate!“

“I had a construction project in the neighborhood so i decided to try some Dominican food. I chose the right place; food was delicious. Even the girls didn't speak much English but they try their best to communicate with me.
Bathroom was extremely CLEAN !
I recommend this place to eat your lunch.

“Sancocho was incredible. Full of flavor, depth was good and balanced. Cozier place, very warm and welcoming staff. Bachata playing and it feels like a place where everyone knows your name if you from this part of town. A gem. Will come again. Blessed to have been lucky enough to drop by“

“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?!?!“

“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.“

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

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The best mofongo in the world!“

“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“

“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.“

“Pio Pio sauce and the mystery of it“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“It is my favorite place, I love it ? the service, the excellent food and the employees treat you as if you were family ? may the Lord Jesus bless you greatly.

Kid-friendliness: You can go with children ? it is an excellent place.“

“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.“

“This is my go-to spot, not only because it's close to home, but because the food is delicious. I cook almost everyday at home, but on days when I am not in the mood, this is where I go. Pernil is always good, as is their pollo guisado, carne guisada, and baked chicken. Mangu is on point if you make it for breakfast. Good portions.“

“Whenever I want some delicious food, I have to stop in here!!! Their chicharrones, beans, white rice with sweet plantains with some delicious pernil and a jarrito, are amazing! The girls are really sweet too.

They also cater if you're having a get together! 10 stars **********“

“Great food and excellent fast service.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“

“The food at this place is incredibly delicious!! Bravo to the chef!! The typical dishes we get from here are churrasco, the big seafood salad, and baby mofongo. My dad ordered Tilapia and he loved it! The waitresses are attentive, welcoming and work as a team.. we love it here. Totally worth the prices.“

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

“What a gem!! Came in for a typical Dominican breakfast and was transported right back to the Dominican Republic!!! The food was all amazing and the service was very friendly and warm. I absolutely loved my tres golpes and also tried the chicken mofongo and that was also fantastic!!! Chicharones de pollo were super good as well! Wish I could find this kind of food back home. Don’t hesitate, give this place a try it’s fire!!!!“

“I absolutely love this tiny restaurant, by far my favorite in queens. I’ve been going here since I was a little girl and have not regretted it once. The food is amazing and the portions they give is astounding for the low price. Highly recommend !!“
