Spanish Restaurants near Rockaway Park, NY

“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.“

“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.“

The staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel celebrated — they truly made the night special. The drinks were amazing — the Strawberry MyMoon and Lavender Sour were both perfectly crafted and delicious. The food was full of authentic Spanish flavors and beautifully presented. MyMoon is the perfect spot for a celebration, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone who wants excellent service, fantastic drinks, and delicious food!“

By far the best dish I had was the Ribeye steak with a red wine reduction. Damn near almost ate the plate 😂. Highly recommended 🤤👌🏽“

The waitress Leilany was awesome and knowledgeable. I had the lunch special and the chicken mofongo and cheese empanadas were delicious, and I washed it all down with a thirst quenching midday rum punch.“

“i order from here often and their food is so good & it’s halal! everything i’ve eaten from here has tasted fresh & well seasoned. They close around 2 am and always add new stuff/combos to the menu.

“It's a really good place for a fast meal, the rice and beans are to kill for. However was little disappointed the other day, because one of the reasons I like this place was for the prices. Was shocked how much it cost me the other day. But at the end of the day, the food is “

“This was another happy discovery, and a nice place to stop in for old-fashioned Spanish comfort food. My favorite dish from here is the garlic chicken with rice and beans, as well as the fresh juices. One can make a dish off of the snack foods and smaller dishes by themselves; the standard rice platter that came with the aforementioned chicken lasted me for a few days, there was so much. They also have a wide variety of breakfast dishes and don't mind customizing them as needed.“

“Great little local restaurant. Was staying in Brooklyn for a bit and there’s nothing like these type of spots. Great home cooked type food! Came here twice, once for some quick empanadas for breakfast and the other for lunch. Rotisserie chicken, rice, beans and vegetables for $20(USD). Great price, great portion, great food & great people.“

“this is the spot you wanna come to when you’re fixing for some real home cooking style where you’re vibing in an abuelas crib. the soup was delicate and divine. reminded me of childhood. and the rice and beans were just stellar. very cheap. worth coming back to often“

“I've had consistent great quality food from this establishment every time I've visited. Staff is friendly, greets you immediately, and always taking their time to make sure your order is taken correctly. The women here are stunning as well?... they never skimp on their portions, and the quality of the food is always on point. I like the fact that the food is on display, and you can see the food being prepared right in front of you. The atmosphere is very clean, very inviting and has a sense of a home feeling in the sitting area. Did i mention the women are stunning?. Unfortunately i haven't gotten any pics yet, but my next visit I'll make sure to ask if i can take some first, (Brooklyn people just dont like you taking pics of them)...lol but I'd highly recomend you, or the whole family visiting this restaurant for a great experience, and some great food... ohh and did i forget to mention the women here are stunning!!! Thank you El Paraso for continuing your quality service to the community!!! People go here, not there one across the street!!!!“

“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."“

“Awesome portuguese food! Great service too“

“I have gotten food to-go from here a few times and every time is has been delicious, generous servings. The spaghetti is reliably very good. I’ve had the grilled chicken and the beef stew over rice and beans, both very flavorful. I haven’t dined in hit the women who work there have been friendly during every visit.“

“Food here is delicious and portion sizes are solid. Came with my husband and 3 year old. We all left full and we had leftovers. Service was a bit slow which was a little surprising because it was quiet, but thankfully we weren’t in a hurry.“

“The beans and rice with the jerk chicken is phenomenal. My husband and I drive all the way down from Long island just for this delicious meal. The owner is a kind and great person. Definitely going back when I am feeling for amazing soul food“

“My wife and I just happened to randomly walk past this place, saw the food from the window that looked really good, and took a chance. Really glad we did because the service was great and the food was amazing for a really budget friendly price. Wish I had pictures but we were so hungry and started digging in. Would definitely recommend.“

“Super nice and old fashion service! The way life use to be where you felt served and treated nice! I had eggplant Parmesan For lunch. Yum! My friend had a chicken sandwich. Both were good size portions. If I was not traveling, I would have taken leftovers.The Restroom was clean, staff very attentive, atmosphere elegant. 🫶🏽
I hope to return next visit to NYC“

“A small and cozy restaurant to find Ecuadorian food with good portions. They have lunch specials which are offered in buffet style, and vary in options over the days of the week. It helps to speak some Spanish to communicate better. It is also important to bring cash, as it is the only accepted payment method.“

“I went here for the first time recently to try their Birria tacos and I was not disappointed at all. They’re the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and cheesy. I also saw they had Mac and cheese so I tried a little cup of it (pictured) and the Mac and cheese was perfect to go along with it. The sauce wasn’t too thick or liquidy. Would 10/10 recommend this place to a friend, and would 20/10 come here after my undergrad is finished up.“

“I can't believe I almost walked past this amazing place. This spot creates the perfect feel. The service speed impressed us. They're inconsistent with warmth but consistent with service. This restaurant exceeded expectations and I can't wait to return!“

“This place really knows how to do Halal chicken right. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned all the way through—not just on the surface. You can tell it’s made fresh, not rushed. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the staff was friendly and quick. Easily one of the best fried chicken spots I’ve been to. Definitely coming back.“

“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“

“Oh, this place has delicious Dominican food! They season their food just right, not too salty or too bland. My friend and I always come here because the food is amazing and it doesn't upset their stomach. We're both addicted, I might go there later today..“

“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 **********“

The staff anticipated our needs and made sure the evening was flawless from start to finish. The environment was comfortable, clean, and stylish. This restaurant has mastered the art of combining outstanding cuisine with excellent hospitality.“

“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.“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“Guys so first of all I googled this place I went of your reviews thank you and it did its job it was delightful the rice nice and fluffy well done the beans smelled like grandma had just made them the baked chicken was good and a side of salad“

“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!“

“La Gitana Bakery has some truly delicious, fresh cakes that are worth trying. The quality of the baked goods definitely stands out. However, the service wasn’t as friendly or attentive as expected. If you’re going just for the sweets, it’s a great stop, but don’t expect top-notch customer service.“

“I visited El Ambiente Restaurant and Lounge on 4/14/24 for Latin Karaoke. We enjoyed our visit very much. The ambience is family oriented, nice decor, food and service was excellent, affordable, I highly recommend. I also found parking on the corner, which was convenient. Will definitely return to Eddie’s karaoke night!? My type of vibe!“

“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.“

“Amazing wraps! Great food and people. Owner Angelo is a great person and ensures an amazing meal. I use to work for AAA around the corner, this was a routine stop. I now drive from Yonkers with my girl to treat myself to a wrap from Angelos deli. So when you're in the neighbourhood stop by.“

“For good spanish food on the go Jenny 2 restaurant is awesome and these are the reasons. The food is not salty at all very tasty. One can taste all other condiments, not overbearing well manged in taste.Their seafood doesn't taste fishy at all. Their price went up just like everything else in live but Jenny 2, the restaurant the food is worth every penny, awesome food made by Dominicans.

Kid-friendliness: The ladies and men who serve the food are very kind and pleasant, and they don't take a year to serve one.“
