Dominican Restaurants near Woodhaven, NY

“food and service excellent“

“the restaurant is good, it is about one or two years old and the food is very good. The only bad thing is the employees who are unprofessional and unfriendly. On the menu they always have a lot of variety of food, they make rice, beans, pork, beef, chicken, fish, salads, soups, for dinnin in and delivery. I live like 8 blocks away and every time l call to order it always arrives super fast in less than 20 minutes… they cook low in fat and are very clean. the only thing they have to improve is the service and the quality of the employees. they have to learn to know how to treat a customer and leave satisfied.“

“Love this place and food. This is a new comment following what other day about that blond lady, I got to say is like interacting with no body, she doesn't even pay attention to your order, let's no talk about a greeting or nice staff my God“

“Excellent!“

“Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes. The staff and owners always greet you with a warm welcome.“

“When I tell you this is real authentic dominican food, it was amazing. The absolute best ive had in a long time. From the meals to the drinks to the decor and music everything was phenomenal. I took my family after a graduation and I cant wait to go back.“

“I must say, if you’re looking for a SOLID meal deal that is guaranteed to fill you up, Castillo de Jagua is a must.
One of Lower East Sides staples.

Get a taste of the real deal Dominican spice. Their servers are enchanting. If you’re ever lucky enough to run into Mercedes shell set you up right!“

“The food was amazing. The owner is also really nice you can tell he cares about his customers experience at the restaurant. The service was also pretty good. I just wish the waiter checked on us a little more but other than that the restaurant was great I would recommend it.“

“Amazing food and service.“

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

“Everything is great here!“

“nos comimos unos ricos cubanos, pernil pernil muy rico, jamón queso y huevo queso derretido y bien cocinado, mondongo riquísimos lo recomiendo 100 porciento“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this driving school. For my son 17 years old the instructor Ayub teach him nicely and within short time and less driving lessons my son was able to drive perfectly. Today my son pass the road test and I am happy. As an instructor Ayub is the best and I suggest all of the student try at once and I believe you guys won’t regret it. Thanks to Ayub and this driving school.“

“The oxtail soup is the reason I keep coming back. It’s well cooked, generous portion, and satisfying. Service can run slow, but it seems to be a family-run spot with a hole-in-the-wall charm, so it comes with the territory and is worth the wait.“

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

“good“

“The food is great I ordered from them two days n a row and food is fresh both times..I give the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great portions! The pernil and pollo guisado are my favorite. I’ve ordered lunch plates to stay, take out platters for group dinners, and catering orders for a party. They give such great portions. The catering orders are of course freshly made, but the lunch and take out are from the ready made trays in the store and the chicken and pernil are so tender and delicious.“

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

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

“Wonderful cuisine service is excellent“

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.“

“DELICIOUS! Best mofongo & chicharron in Manhattan. Takes exactly like the one in PR that my family serves me. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and the chicharron is so incredibly crispy but still fatty. Was perfect for takeout and I’ll def be going back all the time“

“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."“

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

“We had a delicious breakfast here. Passing through the neighborhood and wanted some hot food, not breakfast sandwiches or pastries. I had mangu, sausage, and egg. My husband had rice and pork with a soda. Less than $20 together. The staff was friendly. Counter seating inside or.2 small.tablea outside.“

“In love with this place could eat here everyday omg I dream about this place often the sauces the ribs the chicharrones omg so crispy so juicy can’t wait to have the brisket they was out when I went but most def soon will try, oh and the freaking corn bread beyond amazing“

“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!“

“I stepped in here because I wanted a coffee but it was a pleasant little surprise. The lunch special is reasonably good. Rice , beans and chicken for $10 in dumbo? That’s a deal. It was seasoned well and tasty. I had some coffee too. Would absolutely come back here again if I’m in the area.“

“So yummy!! We got chicken, fish, and beef and all were delicious. Each meal comes with beans and rice and is a good value for the food and location. We also shared 4 meals (they gave us an extra plate and cutlery set) between 5 adults and had plenty of food!“

“I ate at this restaurant during my Christmas vacation visit to New York. It is fantastic! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is so tasty. It was better than the big advertised restaurants. If you want a real delicious meal and some great music while you eat, go to this place. It's a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

“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?!?!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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“

“This place is a cute little hole in the wall but this is my weekly go to and my daughter loves it as well. The food there is amazing, the ladies there make you feel welcome and at home (memories of my many trips ton D R) with excellent service. The atmosphere is perfect, you feel more like at home than a restaurant. You know that it's good because that's where the hard working Spanish families who work and live in the community eat. Go try it out you Will not be disappointed.“

“Best Dominican food..Not only because it’s affordable but also delicious! And service is amazing! They accidently gave me two orders of each plate that I ordered and charged me for it, then I told them there was a mistake and they refunded without any problems! Thank you Tropical! Love you guys!“

“Muy buena atención y la comida muy rica“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“excelentes recetas son muy buenas“

“buenoooo bueenooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
