Dominican Restaurants near South Ozone Park, NY

“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.“

“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)

She even informed us that they extended happy hour which included apps until 4pm that Saturday. Overall food was delicious and I will definitely be back. Loved their style of my favorite dessert tres leches cake!“

“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.“

“This is a little Gem in Queens. The food is delicious. 😋 Ever felt like you wanted something tasty but couldn’t figure out what? We’ll order from Lugos. Food is well seasoned, big portions, freshly made. That steak is the softest I’ve had in a long time. And it comes with a side. I choose the mashed potato which is nicely done also. Their food is banging!!! You need to try it. Thank me later. FYI This was a door dash order.“

“I have gotten take out here 2x …..months ago.. Food was pretty good, generous portions. Service has always been great..different people each time but both ladies were very welcoming.
Love the pernil, rice.. have to try more items next time.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot for years whenever I’m craving Spanish food, and it’s always been a reliable choice.

The food tastes fresh every time, and the fried shrimp is especially good—definitely one of my favorites. I usually go for takeout during lunch, and the portions and variety (like Camarones Al Ajillo, pulled pork, and even desserts) never disappoint.

Service is quick and straightforward, and the atmosphere is decent for a casual visit.

Overall, it’s a solid place with consistent quality, and I’d happily recommend it if you’re looking for flavorful food at a reasonable price.“

“Excellent customer service from A to Z, thanks chef PaPi food 🥘 and drinks amazing 😉!!“

“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!“

“My favorite place to get food in Crown Heights. Perfect flan. I haven’t had anything off their grill because I go for the steaming buffet that’s by the window. You can see the steam rising off the meats from the sidewalk, and smell it too. Right away you know it’s gonna be good. I’ve had the ribs, roast pork, and beef stew, but my favorite is the baked chicken. Try it over the mangu. Nice staff. Good price. :)“

“Muy buena atención y la comida muy rica“

“I'm used to seeing pork legs only with potatoes and carrots, but these have everything, I saw it differently, but when they gave me a try, uffff, what a surprise, I couldn't resist and bought it, yummy, I would go back to buy it 10 out of 10“

“July 8 2024 order some rice and 2 porkchop the lady gave me 2 ham steak which was very salty not too please at all so when you order make sure it's what u ask for I don't speak Spanish!!!!!“

“I’m Puerto Rican and when I’m feeling homesick (often lately) I come in for a feast. Best rotisserie chicken, perfect seasoning, tasty crispy skin. Arroz con gandules is my favorite but the congris (black bean rice) is a close second. Also, I have a severe gluten allergy and have never had an issue! Love this place!“

“Our first dinner in the Big Apple, Rico Pollo delivered on every front. The food was rich, authentic, and full of flavour. I had a bit of everything, portions were generous, the chicken is perfectly seasoned, pulled pork was juicy and the sides complemented the dishes beautifully.“

The establishment boasts exceptional customer service, delectable cuisine, and a consistently high standard of food quality. From burgers and pizza to steak, their menu caters to diverse palates. I highly recommend this establishment for an unforgettable culinary experience.“

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

“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.“

“Visited there with a friend and we had a delightful dining experience. Their menu has a variety of fresh and flavorful options including both meat and seafood, and each dish we ordered tasted really good! The service was another highlight from our experience, the waitress is very attentive and friendly, and she knows very well about the menu. We will definitely visit again!“

“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!“

“This place is seriously a hidden gem! The Dominican food is delicious, but their cheeseburger deluxe is also AMAZING—juicy, flavorful, and loaded just right. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. It’s a coffee shop/takeout spot without seating, but honestly, the food speaks for itself. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again“

“The best dominican and Latin restaurant. These restaurants are very rare nowadays. Quality goods for a decent price and large portions. I love their breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I really like their seafood salads and torta Dominicana.“

“this restaurant is by far one of the best Spanish restaurants in the area. They make you feel like family and they go out theieyway so you feel welcome and make you go back. Best part is the PRICES you get plenty of food for a very good price. 5 star ⭐️ for this location.“

“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“

“I stumbled across this place in search of a coffee to go. Amazing find! The coffee was delicious, and the personnel was quick and friendly. I didn't order food, but they have a broad range of meals, so I'm sure there is something for everyone. The prices are also great for this area!“

“buenoooo bueenooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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 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?!?!“

“I had Charo Bros. cater a corporate event, and I couldn’t have been more pleased! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Our guests really enjoyed everything, and the quality and presentation were excellent.

The team at Charo Bros. was professional, accommodating, and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. If you’re looking for great food and reliable catering for a corporate event or special occasion, I highly recommend Charo Bros. They definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“The best mofongo in the world!“

“The drink was good/ worth your money for was good scale for the food 1 out of 10
I'll give it a 7.5 real talk 🦜
Waiter was cool make sure we were comfortable and seated in the right table other than that I had a good time 😉 😀.“

“I’ve been going there at least 3 times a month since May and have always had a great experience. They are so endearing, generous, and kind, I have a specific dietary preference which they always respect. Im obsessed with their bacalao, it’s so delicious!“

“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.“

“The most authentic Dominican 🇩🇴 food that I have ever had in all of Brooklyn. I wish I can give them 7 stars! The first reason being is the flavor/seasoning. It is rich in flavor without being salty or over seasoned. My second reason, there is such a huge variety of options to choose from. They have all the typical protein that you’re craving for on any particular day. My third reason, is the price is absolutely unbeatable. I mean, they offer incredible prices despite the current state of our economy. They have a couple of options for dessert as well whether that’s pastry or ice cream. Good amount of seats to dine in. Been here 3x already. This is definitely my go to spot whenever I am in Brooklyn. I shared some videos below so you can check it out.“

“Reyes, located in Woodside, Queens, is a fantastic Dominican restaurant that offers a true taste of the Dominican Republic. The standout feature of this cozy spot is their Dominican breakfast, which is a perfect way to start the day. From the classic *mangú* (mashed plantains) to *queso frito* (fried cheese) and *salami*—all served with a side of crispy *mangú* and scrambled eggs—each bite is bursting with flavor and authenticity.

Aside from breakfast, Reyes delivers an array of authentic Dominican dishes that are expertly prepared. The *sancocho* (a hearty meat stew) and *mofongo* (fried plantain mash) are particularly popular, offering rich, savory flavors that transport you straight to the heart of the Caribbean. Their *chicharrón de pollo* (fried chicken) and *arroz con habichuelas* (rice and beans) are also must-tries, showcasing the best of Dominican comfort food.

The only drawback is that Reyes is closed from Friday to Monday, which can make it a bit tricky to get a taste of their delicious offerings during the weekend. Nonetheless, if you're in the area and craving authentic Dominican food, Reyes is definitely worth the visit. The flavors, the quality, and the friendly atmosphere make it a standout spot in Woodside.“

“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 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.“
