“This play is awesome. Ordered lunch on multiple occasions. Had their pernil lunch, steak lunch, pork chop lunch, they all tasted great!!For around $8-$9, they pack up the lunch box for you with rice+beans+(your choice of meat). Everything was seasoned well. They are very consistent with their food. Everytime, it tasted great.Definitely give them a try!“

“Visited S&A roti shop January 3rd, 2020 when we visited New York on our road trip. Met her son at the Nike store in Manhattan and he told us about his mom's place. On our way back to Florida we made a slight detour and I must say we were quite impressed on the taste and quality of the food and friendly service we experienced. We hope you come to Orlando and open a restaurant here as discussed when we visited. Sorry, it took a year to write a review. Roger, Marina and Josh“

“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.“

“such a great gem in the heart of Brooklyn. cocktails are great. nice happy hour.“

“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“

“I was working in brooklyn for the day. I searched up Dominican food, and El Manjar came up. I live in CT and i will be returning. That food was the closest tasting to how my grandmothers cooked. The service the food and the environment were to notch.“

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

“Wonderful cuisine service is excellent“

“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."“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“I visited a Dominican restaurant, and it was excellent. The food, especially the mofongo and sancocho, was delicious and full of flavor. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Dominican experience. I will be back!“

“Absolutely delicious food & great service! We come from Smithtown Long Island and it’s worth the trip every time never disappoints!“

“If you're looking for some of the best Dominican food in the US, it's here - down a few steps, in this pool hall. Everything was delicious, and I absolutely loved the habichuelas (beans). The gallina was tender to the point it was falling off the bone, and the rice was fluffy and full of flavor. This is truly a place where you can taste the love.“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“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!“

“(Translated by Google) Good flavor, very friendly and helpful staff, parking available and easily accessible. Thank you for your good attentions.(Original)Buen sazon, personal muy amable y servicial, parqueo disponible y de facil acceso. Gracias por sus buenas atenciones.“

“Perfect service never disappoint.

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“Everything is great here!“

“Punta Cana is an absolute paradise for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a vibrant and relaxing atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel welcome and ensured our experience was nothing short of perfect.

The menu offers a wonderful mix of Caribbean and international flavors, with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. I opted for the grilled mahi-mahi, which was cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and served with a side of tropical salsa that added just the right amount of zest. My partner went for the jerk chicken, which was smoky, spicy, and incredibly satisfying.

The cocktails deserve a special mention — the signature rum punch was refreshing and expertly crafted, making it the perfect complement to our meal. The lively music and warm decor create a fun and inviting vibe, ideal for a casual night out or a celebration.

Overall, Punta Cana delivers an outstanding dining experience with great food, attentive service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place should definitely be on your list. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“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!“

“Best food in the 161 court area of the Bronx. Hands down. I also used them to cater my holiday party and the food was Top notch !!! Also the everyday food menu is extensive so there's something for everyone and the sandwich guy is official !!“

“Excellent serving portions!
Food has an excellent taste and everything is well cooked. Nothing bad to say at all!
My daughter and I love this place. It’s in our top 3 locations in NYC! We have visited more places than you can imagine so this means a great deal.“

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

“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“

“A small family business. Although there was limited seating, we arrived about 5pm on a Wednesday evening and there was seating for the 4 of us. We ordered Cuban sandwiches and they were great. For the first time we also shared an order of Mofungo, it was delicious. The service was excellent and friendly. A true NYC neighborhood experience. A must if you are in the neighborhood. Walking distance from LaGuardia Plaza Hotel. Although we were tourists, they made us feel like family. Thank you for a great experience. The Maas family“

“Placed a catering order and the food was AMAZING! The portions were perfect, and the food was packed well. The pernil and chicken had great flavor. They also gave us plenty of sauces including a garlic sauce container which was a hit. Pricing is very fair for the portions. We'll definitely be ordering again!“

“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..“

“I just ordered the tastiest Cuban sandwich I have tried. It was pressed so toasty and crispy. I had the waitress add extra pickles and garlic. They make the drink “Morirsoñando” (like a creamsicle) with freshly squeezed orange juice and it brought me back to how my grandma used to make it. I will definitely come back to try more dishes- their daily lunch specials caught my eye so it gives me more of a reason to return!“

“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 **********“

“Muy buena atención y la comida muy rica“

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

“food service environment clean good prices“

“Walked in for the first time today, and let me tell you the food options are great. I was treated with a smile and the staff was kind in explaining the portions , prices and food options. I took my order (Ox tail and arroz con gandules) to go. But once I got home and took that first bite (Aww Mann), I instantly knew this was only the beginning of many more food orders to come.As of now I highly recommend this place.Note: this is more of a takeout spot as they only have 2 tables.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and always happy people“

“The food was great !! The owner is a really nice guy I previously had a issue with a employee of his but he rectified the situation !!
Note from wife>the food here is soooo amazing it literally made her cry (shes pregnant lol) 🤰 and says she would 10000% recommend...the chicken BTL is fireeee
Home fries amazing
Empanadas boooommb
Steak shrimp even my picky 8 year old loved it. I love the burgers 🍔 😋 worth every penny ..“

“READ THIS- realistic assessment. I moved to this neighborhood two years ago, so I am not just saying this because this is all I know. I'm a foodie and even though I have only ever left a couple reviews I finally did it for these guys tonight. They are literally steps fromy door and I have eaten here about once a week for 2 years. To the people reviewing it's loud, and they are rude etc. let me tell you, EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS PLACE IS FULL, ALL HOURS. The food is delicious, cheap and FAST. I come here once a week for two years, they ARENT NICE. I CANT BLAME THEM! they are a small business with the same employees working day in and out, lines out the door. Get your amazing food, pay, and leave. Have you ever seen the soup episode in Seinfeld. I only go once a week, but about 5 time each week I look through the door, to see if it's packed. Usually it is so I move on cuz I ate crowds. (When I say packed I mean it because there is not seating, it's just an order counter and pay counter inside.). I indulge once a week when I'm lucky enough to see a line 2 deep or less. Here is my problem. My first time in there, rookie, I wanted to try a burrito. But they are so busy and it's they have a lot of food in hot pans to make plates. But the burrito they grill the raw chicken right in front of you, and I couldn't help but feel like I hold up lines. I will tell you though, when that thing comes through, hot, fresh and mounded high with chicken for 7 bucks! I was floored. Cheaper than a garbage taco bell burrito for 8.69 half the size and less than half as good. I was hooked. But today, I grabbed one of their rotisserie chickens from the oven in the window. I am not telling y'all any lies. Best. I . Have. Ever . Had. Now I love fired chicken, breading is great yada yada. But never had a roast chicken this good. Only one pointer, they default give you a garlic sauce, either it doesn't need it or ask for something you spicy if you like a little kick, cuz this sauce is pointless. So no, you can't sit down and eat. Not it's not quiet, no they don't have time to be friendly. If you want TASTE for VALUE then you know what to do.“

“Oh my goodness, Went got food from here twice & both visits it has been fresh, flavorful & juicy (not dry or salty). Best fried chicken in the area for me! Better than Kennedy Fried chicken ? & I’d rather walk from dyckman to this spot on 207th for this chicken. It’s worth it ❤️

Kid-friendliness: They have wings,drum sticks & French fries incase your child can’t eat thick cut tostones & huge thighs.“

“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“

“Friendly people, Great customer service. The food is good and made when you order so you know it's always fresh! And the prices are affordable considerating the neighborhood. Definitely recommend this place. It's been in the community for years!“

“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.“

“So for a long time i had no idea this place was so close to me, i used to order my spanish food from Mi Casa on 117th and Jamaica ave, but they wound up shutting down and reopened under new management. After searching and realizing El Rey is 8 blocks away i stopped in and decided to give them a try, i am certainly thankful i did, the food is seasoned just right without being to strong, the service was very fast and courteous, and not to mention the prices are great . i usually order the roast pork(Pernil) with white rice and beans on the side with an order of sweet plantains , and it would cost me almost 40$ at the old place i ordered from , this order was half the price i paid and was so delicious, they have a great selection , and the staff is great , even the delivery is pretty fast i only suggest confirming the address before hanging up, as they had my address wrong and my delivery took 45minutes, once it was corrected i get
my deliveries in about 15 minutes!!! hope you enjoy as much as i have , this is my new go to spot!!!!“

“Honestly, this is one of the best Dominican restaurants in the city, but what really won me over was the beans. They're so good and I never really go for beans at most restaurants. Only thing that holds them back is the lack of chicken on occasion.“

“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“
