I order delivery and it taste so good every single time, go to Spanish food! Best on the island if you ask me. I love the food tasty not dry and a lot of food for left overs for just the right price.

OMG, Jelisa's Cafe was remarkable. Prime location and service was great. The menu is really awesome, plenty of really good choices, I had to go with Mangu, and it was magnificent. Team: outstanding. Attentive and professional. Would return.

This place is a diamond in the rough on Staten Island and has reignited my love for empanadas. With this place, you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner just with the empanadas alone. Everyone who I have suggested this place to were amazed with the taste and quality of the food. My favorite empanada is the egg salad one. Who would have thought to put egg salad in an empanada? ?? Please support small businesses such as this, otherwise society would crumble to the standards of typical fast food chains.

Jelisa's Cafe you are really outstanding, I had a wonderful experience here today. They have so many selections and prices are very good. Every single thing I've tried thus far is pretty good. The staff are really attentive and kind and they're great at giving recommendations. All around great experience.

I have to admit, Jelisa's Cafe was definitely awesome. Definitely coming back here again. Dominican Oatmeal is something that I really love here, I highly recommend it to everybody. Staff are incredibly pleasant. They're accommodating, polite and always on their game. So thankful for the addition to the neighborhood.

Best empanadas in SI, sad to see they don’t have certain flavors at times but delicious regardless

I have been looking for a spot with delicious empanadas. This place is my new favorite spot. The empanadas were big with both flavor and stuffed with meat. I ordered the beef stew empanadas... wow is all I have to say. I also ordered the Morir Sonando drink so good. The prices are great and I highly recommend this place. Keep up the great work Jelisa's Cafe.

The cuban sandwich was amazing. They do not skimp on the meat and everything was perfect. The cheese melted perfectly on the ham and pork and it also came with a special sauce that made the sandwich taste even better. Side note: the sandwich is pretty big, so I would split it with someone unless you have a big appetite. It was the size of the hero but it was also really thick because of how much pork they put (I'm not complaining, of course).
