Spanish Restaurants near Queens Village, NY

“This is more like an advice to the owner more than a review criticizing them, service always great, the owner is always there and greets u when u walk in no complaints there. But the last two times i been there including today 5/10/2024, the rice has no salt or very low on salt and it taste bad!. We all know to much salt isn’t good for you but the cook isn’t putting any salt at all on the white rice, and today i noticed the red beans had hardly any flavor on it..My advice have a talk with ur cook, if they cook like that for their own home thats fine but to sell the public u have to add salt to the food!! Please! Thanks! I still love Rice & Beans restaurant but please talk to ur cook.. thank you.“

“Wow! Went there Last night w the wife wasn’t busy the service was quick & tentative. The Sangria very good I give it a 7 out of 10 the sea food mix platter in the red sauce Delicious especially when u dip the bread in the sauce Delicious! Shrimps were Jumbo indeed. Highly recommend it. Keep in mind they do add a 19% gratuity (Tip) even for party of 2 which I didn’t mind but I would have gave them 25%.or more. They add it in the total about of the bill. Anyway great spot check it out. Definitely going again bringing the kids leave the wife behind Lol.Parking: Meters parking, pretty sure after 7 is free“

“05/05/2024 good atmosphere, very friendly staff, good music, only some but with the Villar table I should leave the space between the bar and the DJ free and change it to the entrance, for example the table and put more light at the entrance .“

“A whole vibe!!! From the moment you walk in, you are captivated. The decor, the music and the beautiful staff begin the wonderful experience that's about to occur. The food is exquisite in presentation and taste.i have visited the location in Forest Hills also but the experience in RVC is incomparable. (My daughter works near Forest Hills and frequented the other location but immediately stated she likex RVC just entering the restaurant) Iliana, Chastity, Julie and others, thank you for a great evening. Be back soon and every time I visit NY“

La comida es 5 estrellas servicio lo único es que debe decirle a los clientes que la propina está incluida a veces falta de comunicación pero el lugar es increíble el picante la comida es súper increíble“

“The food here is amazing! Delicious Latin flavors in dishes that will fill you up! My typical order is the Bandeja Paisa which is a full meal in itself! The avocado salad is also a must have- great flavors, super refreshing and always pairs nicely with other dishes. The liki martini is my favorite drink! The service is so friendly, they will all make you feel like you’ve been invited into their home. Juan is truly a magnificent host and it’s truly a must visit whenever I am in the area! I would highly recommend this for a date or even a casual night out! The environment can be treated as either!“

Marcello was very attentive and made sure we had a great time AND we always had a drink. A++ The room is very spacious and festive. The cocktail hour was great! Had a lot of my favorite bites, like seafood croquettes and tortilla espanola! Dinner was lovely, buffet with items such as pork loin, arroz con pollo and stuffed filet of sole which I really enjoyed. (if u know me, you know i dont eat fish, my hubby couldnt believe i ate this piece of sole! so good!) Lastly...Sangria, my drink of choice always...was a constant on the table and I couldnt be happier! I will definately be visiting the restaurant very soon!“

“I'm new to the neighborhood. After looking for a nearby Spanish restaurant, Cafe Kiskeya was the nearest one. Decided to stop by to try their food, and they definitely gained a new customer that day. I even catered from them the following week for a birthday party I was hosting. Highly recommend.“

“I chose this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. I reserved an outside table. Very cozy place. Excellent service. Delicious and fresh food. We ordered flavored sangria, seafood stuffing mushrooms, grilled octopus, blue point oysters and paella marinara. Everything we ordered was very good. I recommend this restaurant. Will definitely come here again to try other dishes.“

“Its a quaint clean establishment the staff is courteous the meals come in various sizes from small to large. when you walk in and see a very appetizing food display with a variety appetizing dishes it took me a minute to make up my mind I settled for the small beef stew w/rice and steam vegetables and the meal did not disappoint should have ordered the large meal. The beef was deliciously tender the vegetables weren't over cooked, white rice cooked to perfection. They also offer loyalty points.“

“Great chicken steak sandwichGreat chicken shwarmaHe has fries better than McDonald's.... yes better than!Wings are really good! Add any of the sauces to your liking. I had the regular honey, so good! Will try the fried chicken next time I go!“

“So happy to have found this Spanish food place. Been here twice... both times the food was fresh and delish. Baked chicken was well seasoned and juicy but my favorite will always be ox tail. They did not disappoint. Not the friendliest service but fast and efficient.“

“Definitely if you are in New York and you like good food. Your next stop is the hollow epa! Good portions and consistent seasoning, this is usually difficult to find but it is a gem for those of us who are picky eaters. Good attention in the same way. It is advisable to go in a group and with the family! It is not a drinking fountain, there is a lot of respect for the customer. It has been a good experience!“

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

“Top notch establishment. Don’t be disheartened by the humble interior this food SLAPS. As a world traveler and expert in Peruvian cuisine, this is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in all of Nassau and Suffolk county. It is comprobable to the food offered by popular city spot Pio Pio. Make sure you get some chicken and salchipapa. Not a meat person? Try some tallardin verdes (green spaghetti ?) or papa a la huancaina (spicy ). Highly recommend, can’t wait for my next trip ???.“

“My coworker and I recently tried the LaGuardia cafe during our stay in the Marriott. It was a very short walk, so we figured, why not?We were pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of meal options including both combos, individual dishes and the prepared hot food. The employees were incredibly kind and patient as we peered through the menus and finally made our selection, while also walking us through some of their popular dishes. Our food came out fast, fresh, high in quality and quantity. The pepper steak and chicharrones were delicious and their accompaniment of side dishes was exactly the type of nutrition we were looking for! Additionally, the prices were very reasonable considering how much food we received!The atmosphere, alike many Queens restaurants, is that of family, local favorites and neighborhood institutions. While we ate, there had to have been over thirty individuals of all different backgrounds walk in, get greeted in a kind and friendly manner and immediately order their “go-to” dish that they’ve likely ordered hundreds of times before. This establishment is a reminder of the type of food that keeps a community together and well fed, and is a great representation of the diversity in cuisine available in the area. For those thinking of stopping by, I highly recommend it!“

“Great place to have a party!“

“This is a Chinchorro where you can dine ? in or take-out. The gentlemen were nice and very hospitable. The place is very clean ??. They have authentic Boricua food the Morcillas are delicious ?.Vegetarian options: Rice and beans, boiled green banana and more“

“Great spot for Spanish food. Quick, kind service. My Grandfather switched from his usual Chinese delivery spot for this food. Well seasoned without being too salty. When I don't feel like cooking this will be my first choice.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“Went into this inconspicuous looking restaurant to find myself in love with the place. Great music, proper tables with tablecloth, silverware and real glasses!! (I can't believe I actually need to write this as a positive instead of it being normal)We got there for the happy hour special, and the drinks and snacks were amazing. The staff was very friendly and fun and the service was excellent. Decided to go later that evening for dinner and was even happier with the full meal, which was a great size for what we paid. Received true value for everything we got!!Definitely recommend stopping by here if you're in the area!“

“First time I order takeout from this place. I stopped in once to get a quick snack.There I met a beautiful young lady name Jessica. She greeted me in such manner that It left a lasting impression on me. So today I decided I'm going to try takeout with them. I ordered a fish meal. Fish was well prepared very tasty. The plantain's were awesome. And for the price this is well worth it. In no time my order was ready in less than 20 minutes that's including the delivery.Everything was neatly packed. The young lady that delivered my order Was extremely polite great personality. I highly recommend this place to anyone for a great meal and a fantastic price.I express my sincere gratitude to Jessica ,the chef, and the young lady that delivered my lunch . Great many thanks to all of you and many blessings. Stay healthy, Best Regards, Ranie“

“There is no bakery that rivals the La Gitana franchise in my opinion. Honestly, even when I moved to another state I tried to find another one and it doesn't compare. Unfortunately, Pan Ugo was a good competitor until 2015-2016 and something changed in the almoahabanas recipe that hasn't tasted the same since then. But La Gitana is always consistent with quality and consistency of affection also given by all its employees. Thank you always!“

“The food here was absolutely delicious! Erica provided such a great customer & she took such good care of us for our catering order as well! Definitely would come back for the great customer service she provided us and she recommended to try some of the new wings which I’m very excited about.“

“The taste of your food is excellent, the drinks are excellent. The only problem is that from the moment you place the order to be served. At the table it takes almost 1 hour if they improve that would definitely take 5 stars. You know, I returned to your restaurant today as always, the food was delicious and now the service was fast and good, I congratulate you.“

“I have to admit, Mary's Restaurant was truly fabulous. Great ambiance, clean and friendly service. Everything tasted fresh and was very good! The crew was magnificent, literally every one. Mary's Restaurant... Go there, if you can.“

“This place is Puerto Rico, the food, staff and atmosphere was "chevere" the music was on point. I enjoyed my meal "mofongo" and the experience.Vegetarian options: You can request an order and they will accomodate a patron.“

“This restaurant is always packed when I walk by. I finally decided to go inside for dinner and the food was fresh and delicious. I had the Mac and cheese with fried chicken and carrots and string peas. Delicious I went on a Saturday morning at 7am and got 2 large delicious oatmeal and cornmeal portions. Delicious The manger is super friendly and attentive. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. This is definitely a place you MUST go for delicious hot fresh meals breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.“

“The website is very confusing because I placed the order, then someone called that they didn’t have what I wanted and my desserts weren’t delivered. My receipt showed I ordered two, however they corrected the problem and delivered the desserts. I would order again if they fix their website to not allow orders for items that aren’t available. The delivery person was very polite.“

“It's a really good place for a fast meal, the rice and beans are to kill for. However was little disappointed the other day, because one of the reasons I like this place was for the prices. Was shocked how much it cost me the other day. But at the end of the day, the food is “

“There chicken is delicious. WOW, much better than Popeyes or KFC.. the staff is friendly. I highly recommend them. ? Yummy. The cheesecake is also great.Kid-friendliness: Kids love it there.Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can get in.“

“Ordered from the Yelp App twice for delivery. First time, delivered on schedule. I enjoyed the food, my companions didn't. Second order, delivered on time. I again enjoyed the food and this time so did the others. No complaints here. La Reina has been around a few years, and appears to be holding their own amongst the other neighborhood Latin restaurants within the area. Our orders have been tasty and seem to be freshly made. We haven't dined in, so uncertain if that's an option. Driving by, their inside seems tiny, though their outward appearance is rustic and inviting.It is important to note, food-wise we are not in The Heights where full on authenticity is prevalent. Having this Latin restaurant as an option in the area allows us the opportunity to order from here again.“

“(Translated by Google) New administration, the service is different from what it was a few months ago, the food is authentic Salvadoran, freshly made tortillas, everything is fresh, freshly made sweet bread and everything at a good price, very friendly service, highly recommended. I pay with cash only, but it's worth going to the ATM to get a few dollars and eat at home.(Original)Nueva administración, el servicio es diferente a lo que era hace unos meses, la comida es auténtica salvadoreña, tortillas recién hechas, todo es fresco, el pan dulce recién hecho y todo a buen precio, muy amable la atención, recomendadisimo. Pago con cash only, pero vale la pena ir al atm a sacar unos dólares y comer como en casa.“

“Our experience with contracting a venue in short notice with El Rey was over-all a pleasant experience. The management team was very attentive & courteous to our concerns. The event was executed in a professional manner, the presentation of the venue itself & the food was outstanding. The staff handled the guests in a warm & welcoming way and respectful to all our concerns. The manager at the end of the event thanked us and made sure our experience was to our satisfaction. We definitely will recommend El Rey to anyone looking for a venue for an event. Great job El Rey!!!John & MiriamVegetarian options: All vegetarian foods were per request and mostly steamed to perfection.“

“Not bad. This is a nice neighborhood spot. A place where you won't get anything fancy but leave satisfied, having had a good meal. The churrasco was a little fatty and tough but well-seasoned. It came with sweet potato fries that were crispy and simply prepared -- some of the best I've ever had. The steak quesadilla was also a little tough but so well-seasoned that the extra chewing required worked out in my favor. The side of mofongo was pretty good as well. There are few more things on this menu I'd like to taste. I'll definitely return.“

“How is it possible that there are people who make such negative comments, that is not sorry, I am a very frequent customer of this restaurant. And I can tell you that the food is exquisite and very good, and if it is the attention, it is super nice, very professional. Thanks..“

“My New Favorite Spanish restaurant in Elmont. Upon entering the restaurant, I immediately noticed how clean and well-kept the place was, and Aurora gave great customer service and was very helpful with deciding what to eat. I ordered the Dinner half Rotisserie chicken, stew chicken, tostones, white rice, and beans, and you have to get the side of garlic sauce. The food was hot, on point, and flavorful. Will definitely return“

“I visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening around 7 pm in my local area on a quest for mofongo. Everything was great. The food was excellent, the sauce was full of flavor and not too salty. The presentation was nice and the service was top notch. I also had a presidente, which came ice cold and my meal was just under 20 dollars- great value.“

“Great food & the service is great ....Waiters are always smiling...Great atmosphere“

“I have read some bad reviews about this place. I ordered a few meals and the food was great! No complains about the food or the services. I grew up in Washington Heights and I had years without not having a Mofongo. I have to say that this Mofongo was delicious just as in the Heights.“

“My local Dominican spot. The owners/staff is always super nice and welcoming. I always come here for their stewed chicken and pork shoulder. Sometimes the pork can be a bit dry. But overall they are very consistent and have delicious food. Portions are amazingly large. 2 Can eat the large.“

“We just arrived in town and looking for a good place to eat. We found Las Perlas a couple of blocks from where we were staying. Very happy we decided to try. Service was great and food was just as good. Will definitely be back when in the area.“

“Very good for a central American food“
