Everytime I eat here my stomach hurts and I literally throw everything up. I could try it today and try it 4 months down the line and still have the same outcome. I don’t know what it is, but it ain’t it.

Paid 40$ for two meals, told me 15 min. After a 40 min wait they game me overcooked porkchops with no sauce. I used to eat here all the time quality has seriously gone down, price has gone up. Do not recommend, this city has many fantastic Spanish options to choose from !

I’ve been coming to Joel’s for quite a few years (6) and they have gone from great, sub par, to not so great. Today I had the best roast pork and rice and peas in a long time! So yummmm! I also had plantains with garlic. Made to order. Fresh and delish!! Ten ten!! Cost with drink large: $17!

First time I have been here and have to say that the food was not that good . The empanadas were dry and they appear to be overcooked and didn't have that much filling in them.
Great selection and food, hands down for a taste of the puerto rican island, Joel's is the spot. The owners and family are all really great people as well, with great customer service. I always enjoy my visit when eating here. ?

We were visiting Utica for a day and saw Joel’s on Google Maps so we decided to try it out. We got the Beef stew, bacalao, and pernil roast pork all with rice and beans and it was on the money. Some of the best Dominican food we’ve had outside of the country itself and NYC. If youre looking for some authentic and delicious Spanish food and youre in the area, Joels is well worth checking out.

Always when you're in the Downtown Utica area, get a taste of heaven. Always great, always courteous. (Try the Banana Milkshake).
