About Don Alex

Don Alex is a restaurant in Rego Park that offers a comfortable and friendly dining experience. The staff is efficient and engaging, providing attentive service. The menu features dishes like a deliciously spiced half roasted chicken with rice and beans, and the roasted chicken is well known for falling off the bone with authentic Peruvian flavors. The chicken comes with a nice portion of fries, a salad that includes sliced avocado and beet, and spicy green sauce served on the side, along with a dressing for the salad. Packets of ketchup and mayo are available upon request. The restaurant also offers refreshing beverages like an ice-blended passion fruit milkshake. While the food quality can be inconsistent, with some reports of cold rice, the portions are generally plentiful. The restaurant accepts both cash and credit card payments, though some customers mention that they include a mandatory 20% tip on the bill, which can be confusing or unwelcome to those who feel they should be able to choose their gratuity. Despite its small size, Don Alex provides good and quick service, making it a convenient place to enjoy flavorful Peruvian dishes close to JFK.
