“I loved my visit to El Patio. I gave it a try and it was really great food. Customer service was great, friendly and fast. I loved that it’s a quiet place too, if you want to sit in. I will definitely be back here, it became a new spot for me.“
“The food had so much flavor and variety. Hot bar and food made to order! Music and atmosphere on point. We had empanadas (green sauce is a MUST TRY) we also had Sancocho with white rice . Too many options. Most beautiful decolonized menu, space, and atmosphere. Art is mind blowing. Friendly staff !“
“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“
“The fried calamari made an excellent chioce for antipasti - the squid was fresh & batter was tasty. For secondi, the branzino (fish of the day) was impressive as well - fish was fresh and I loved the charred and crispy skin. I was glad that I had some space for dessert, as the tiramisu was exactly the way I liked it - moist with decent amount of coffee flavour. Waiters were friendly, and service was good and quick.“
“We staying next door at the Muse and I walked the 20 steps to Margon to get a cafe con leche and tostada cubana. I was blown away. As born and raised Miamian, I can honestly tell you that the best cafe con leche is found at Margon in Manhattan. Hands down. And the ambiance reminds me of the old-school cafeterias and bakeries my grandfather and dad would take me to as a little girl. Keep doing what you’re doing .. loads of blessings and suerte, your way!“
“My goto place for the best roasted chicken in the area. Their motto - El Rey Del Pollo - King of the Roast Chicken. Also tried their other dishes today like the sautéed pork chops and the grouper fish fillet sautéed, with side dishes of red black beans, maduros, steamed vegetables, and yellow rice. All were generous and delicious. Also ordered their Malecon cocktail, diet soda, and finished off with an authentic Tres Leches dessert. We were so full and we still had lots of food to take home. We actually over-ordered. Service was very friendly, attentive, and efficient. Ambiance is cozy and contemporary. The place was packed on a Sunday lunch, very popular.Parking: Predominantly street parking, free on certain times and days. Paid parking garage nearby.“

“Saw great reviews. Decided to order some lasagna. Beef lasagna has rich flavor, pls be mindful the portions are tiny); chicken ? lasagna was definitely delicious and smth newThe packaging is great; you can tell they really put effort in making sure no spills are happening“
“I've never wanted to give a business 5 stars more than Leche y Miel. They generously hooked me up with a meal several times while I drove for Amazon in the area. I love the food the staff and the spirit of the team here. They have been the best part of my job. Alda said the food was on the house and I replied "you just made my...Life!" I strongly recommend checking them out if youre in the riverdale area.“
“Good place...I would come back. I got some shrimp and octopus salad in a vinaigrette to stay. Very fresh... very good, served in a bowl on top of some chopped lettuce with a slice of lime. Some of the workers here don't really speak any English... but there was someone here who was able to help me even though my Spanish kind of sucks. A delivery of food from one of the restaurant's vendors was coming in while I was standing at the counter to order, and I had to keep moving out of the guy's way as he went in and out of the store with the hand truck. A bit of a pain, but I forgive them since they've got a fully functional and clean All-Gender Bathroom. The stuff here ain't cheap, but it's quality.“
“Pretty decent spot, not too far away from 46 which is good. Handicap accessible as the whole establishment is on one floor I had the sweet Thai chili wings extra crispy, and Lord were they amazing!! I was obsessed and so sad that I was done eating them Lol. The Bartender and Bar were super attentive and helpful. Love the service!Parking: Probably more than 20 parking spotsWheelchair accessibility: No steps all on ground level/one floor.“
“I returned last week to the rooftop brunch, there isn't much variety on the food menu, I don't like drinking the mimosa in the jars they give out ?, the atmosphere was pleasant and so was the attention of the waitress. Her name is Genesis.I loved. I was on the 2nd floor, although the air conditioning is not felt much, a group of 18 people paid 65 each for brunch. Good atmosphere, very varied music.“
“Delicious Dominican food! The people working here are super nice, very helpful and just having a lot of fun in general which just makes the food taste better. Eating here was a great experience and I highly recommend anyone to eat here because Mary can COOK!“
“I've worked pretty close to this spot for yrs and never knew it existed (rarely take Broadway), my crew and I are working a job right up the street and decided to check it out. I've tried pollo guisado, carne guisado and of course pernil (I'd eat it everyday of my life if I could) and ea dish was outta this world. Empanadas, chicharron and maduro are all excellent too! The staff is always friendly, the food is always fresh/delicious/hot and the prices are more than fair. Once again...mom/pop spots reign supreme!!“
“My family and I were visiting the neighborhood and we found Tina’s. The food is delicious!! The service and atmosphere were great. We were able to enjoy our gathering along with the food. We had chicharrón, the breakfast special, fried cheese, chicken soup, coffee. We were really happy with the “
“The best Dominican food according to my boyfriend who is Dominican. I though it was great food. It was my first time here as I am not a local in this area and I have to say it was delicious 100 times better than the Dominican Restauraunt we are regulars at.“
“The music and atmosphere were top-notch, creating a relaxed and inviting vibe. But let's talk about the food – oh boy, it was fantastic! We tried the sancocho and mofongo, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The sancocho was hearty and flavorful, while the mofongo was perfectly seasoned and had a great texture. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try Dominican/ Puerto Rican food in the area“
“I go to school across the street from this restaurant and I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT I FEEL SO WELCOMED EVERY TIME NOT TO MENTION THE TITLE QUEEN TACOS IS SO TRUE BUT NOT JUST THE TACOS THE HOT BAR FOOD IS SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS ALL GOOD VIBES!!!THE COOK IS SO NICE AND THE LADY IS AS WELL I RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT JUST FOR THE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! Shrimp tacos ????? chicken tacos????? hot bar????? I wish I could post pictures of my food but I always share on Instagram“
“The food was absolutely delicious. We waited at least 1 hour for them to tell us they didn't have pernil or oxtail. But the churasco steak was delicious. And they made up for this by giving us delicious empanadas and dessert on the house.“
“Creative display of dishes that were really quite tasty, surprisingly found in the Italian section of the Bronx otherwise known as the Belmont section once is not enough to die there all I could say is get there while everything is still good, because nothing could last foreverKid-friendliness: Yes children will sit still to eat while being amazed by the paintings on the wall and the decor“
“(Translated by Google) Excellent Dominican Creole food if you want to eat tasty you have to visit themDon't forget to order the pork with chicharrón(Original)Excelente comida criolla dominicana si quiere comer sabroso tienen que visitarlosNo se les olvide pedir el cochino con chicharrón“
“I saw they offered catering and I set up 10 food trays with them which they efficiently provided at the exact time I needed it.The food is delicious and I must say the pernil and fried chicken bites are a must!I couldn’t have asked for a better caterer , 5/5 hands down .“
“Just visited Gourmet Express Market for the first time to order empanadas for a party. The owners are so nice and helpful. They even gave me an empanada to try and I can see why the reviews are so good. The empanada was delicious. Can’t wait to serve the rest to my family and friends tonight!!!“
“Habichuelas con dulce. A national drink of the Dominican Republic, usually made during Easter.Sold for years in this corner by Nena a mainstay in the Dominican Community. Who was really sweet.A constant line of folks come and go. I was lucky and had no wait. As I heard some days, the lines are pretty longThe spot is pretty popular. On the day I went, there was media as well.Made with red beans, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and dunked with milk cookiesThis drink is great. It's almost like hot chocolate but not quiet. It's warm , silky smooth little nutty, creamy and sweet. It'a known as a deseert as well.It does have a holiday drink vibe to it.Habichuelas means beansThe drink is $2. They also sell a corn based dessert. Looked popular. Will get it next time.“
“Saw the restaurant on YouTube and decided to go. Not sure what I got. But it was amazing. The beans were excellent, full of flavor and not over powering. The pork was nice and tender, used a plastic knife to cut easily. The place itself is honestly a questionable place, hole in the wall place. However the chef Anita and the server (seen on YouTube) were amazing. $20 for two people. Salad (not pictures) was also included“

“Tropical Sensation Restaurant came on the UWS scene around 15 years ago and has proven itself to be neighborhood stalwart serving up delicious Dominican, Latin/Caribbean Cuisine. I haven't had a bad meal yet, and I regularly visit for Lunch or Dinner. The hospitality is always warm, friendly and welcoming. The portions are also generous. Check them out!“
“Brunch Buddies had brunch on Sunday. The food was delicious, the oxtail is the best , meat fell off the bone and that gravy ,so yummy. The portions are just right. Try the green beans we ordered for the table and we all loved it. Staff is friendly and attentive and the wait for the food was very short. .“
“I recently visited this Spanish chicken restaurant and overall had a positive experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant environment for a meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, contributing to the overall enjoyable dining experience.Now, let's delve into the highlight—the Spanish chicken. While the dishes were tasty, I couldn't help but feel that they fell slightly short of my expectations. The chicken was well-cooked, but there was a subtle element missing that would have elevated it to perfection. Perhaps a bit more seasoning or a unique twist could have added that extra flair.Despite this minor critique, the menu offered a diverse selection of Spanish-inspired dishes. The appetizers, such as patatas bravas and chorizo croquettes, showcased the chef's creativity and commitment to traditional flavors. The presentation was noteworthy, with each dish appearing as a carefully crafted masterpiece.The drink menu was well-curated, featuring a selection of Spanish wines and cocktails. The sangria, in particular, was a delightful complement to the meal, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.The dessert, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, was a sweet ending to the meal. The churros were well-prepared, offering a satisfying conclusion to the culinary journey.In conclusion, while the overall experience was positive, I've rated this restaurant four stars as I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor profile of the Spanish chicken. I still recommend this establishment for its ambiance, attentive service, and creative menu, with the hope that the culinary aspects can reach“
“I have been going to this small place for years. If you want to feel like you are eating at your abuelas house, this is it! The owners make you feel like you are at home. The cheapest prices in the neighborhood. They catered my last event & I could not believe the prices. To add on the owner added a nice surprise to my order - Just so thoughtful! I just love coming here... from the smell of home made food when you walk in, to the culture.“
“This place is amazing! Super friendly service, delicious smoothies and some of the best prices for fresh smoothies and juices in the area. Very generous sizes too!Dietary restrictions: They have almond milk, coconut milk and coconut water for smoothies. Vegan friendly!“
“(Translated by Google) If you are reading this it is because you know what you are looking for. I ordered Longaniza and chicken and beef chimi. If you come from Florida or out of state, come easy. There is plenty of light and it is very clean.(Original)Si estás leyendo esto es porque sabes lo que andas buscando. Pedí Longaniza y chimi de pollo y res.

“This place is definitely serving the community with delicious food at low prices! The pork chop over rice and fried chicken/baked chicken over rice were $8 each! It also came with beans and a fair amount of food. I think the smaller plates are $5, so wow - what a deal! It's worth the visit, so please support this man!“
“I came here a few days ago and I had a great experience, very clean, cozy and good vibes. Excellent customer service, food and juices, the manager Cinry took care of me and I was really happy with her vibe. Thank you guys for the great experience, I’m coming back very soon!!!!?“
“this is the best Dominican restaurant In New Jersey the food is always good, I moved to NJ from NYC summer 2022 and was looking for a authentic Dominican homemade style restaurant and after trying different places and different restaurants went to many different cities I saw a tiktok suggestion of this place went on a drive because let me tell you it is a 25 min to go and 25 to come back but the mofongos and yaroas are worth it, you also should try their Plato del dia la ensalada mixta is a most, other than that the place is always clean and the people is very friendly, i love it!!“
“Listen here and listen clear: HANDS DOWN THEE BEST FRITURA ANYWHERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE PLANET!!! I REFUSE to eat orejitas from ANYWHERE else!!! Them thangz feel as soft as baby butt!!! Feel like they boil them things for a week in a giant pot before frying them!!! ???? Buy without hesitation! Everything here is wonderful! ?“
“This is one of my favorite hidden secrets in NYC! Tucked in a loading bay for a building, the owners prepare delicious Ecuadorian food at unbeatable prices. The food is all prepared same day so the place smells fantastic. They give huge portions, and sometimes they throw in a fresh fried plantain for regulars! Their hot sauce is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. If you talk to Tony, the owner, in advance sometimes you can buy a bottle, but it's free when you put it on the food you ordered and also made fresh daily. It's the best deal in midtown. (Owned and operated by a great family who always remember me whenever I come in for lunch. This place is lunch only- come early because they sell out fast!“
“Zoralie Restaurant in Manhattan, New York offers decent food at reasonable prices, especially considering the location. However, its drawback lies in its lack of accommodation for non-Spanish-speaking customers. The staff's inability to communicate in English can be off-putting for some patrons. Fortunately, during my visit, another customer kindly helped translate, which greatly assisted me. Despite this language barrier hiccup, the overall dining experience was satisfactory, thanks to the helpfulness of fellow diners.“
“If you're looking for the Spanish home made taste then this is it. The beans taste like grandma made them and everything else is delicious, I really enjoy eating here often.Vegetarian options: They usually have. rice, beans, steam vegetables, salads and other side dishes to offer non meat eaters options“
“It's great place to try out !!!!! At first I wasn't to sure, I don't like eating much Spanish restaurant but my own cooking ? but I gave it a try and let me tell you, I try to go at less 2 or 3 times a month....My family and I love going, the price for the amount of food we get! no where else ! And everything taste Divine, ?The price is just right!!!DON'T WASTE NO MORE TIME AND GO ...Kid-friendliness: If your child doesn't like loud music, it's not the place or you can ask the owner if she would be kind to lower it, which I don't see why notParking: It's a busy area, but we always find parking, just gotta have a little bit of patient when looking for parking.“
“The food is awesome. It is very fresh. I went right when it opened and I got a little meal for $5. I was so shocked because I haven't had that price in years! The owner is super kind. The place looks old but very clean. Also there is way more stores surrounding that area now. I live in New York so Im definitely going to travel there again to have a joyful time enjoying some authentic food.❤️“
“The best atmosphere to enjoy with the family...and great dishes of Latin food...the best in Paterson... All types of food to order and eat in the same restaurant with a large room with an atmosphere for the whole family in general ....100% recommended the seasoning with which they cook is unique in Paterson....“
“The food is ok. The only plate that has really stood out to me when it comes to taste is their “pollo al cadero”. I’ve been here on numerous occasions. Trying a different plate each time. The price for the order I would say is a bit on the high end when compared to prices and quantity of other near by establishments. Their pork meat is usually on the undercooked side, the boneless chicken breast is very bland. With that being said owner and employees are awesome great attention to service, and always seem eager to please. If you do visit try the “pollo al caldero” you will not be disappointed.“
“Their Seafood Soup is at another Level!It's reasonably priced and extremely Delicious Soup!You may want to Order a Large Seafood Soup Because it's delicious ?Parking: Good LUCK finding Parking...But if you do....Hold on to it....lol“
“Right here in this little food joint, I find the best chicharrones in NYC. It is served hot and fresh. I notice the chicharrones are cooked as soon as the first batch is about to be sold out...I had the chicharrones served with sweet potatoes. The only complain That I can make is that they didn't have the little salad. I like my chicharrones served with yucca, sweet potatoes and salad prepared with red anions, cilantro toss with lime juice and pinch of salt and fresh pepper?♂️Any way, the chicharrones is the big winner in this restaurant. I'd definitely spread the word out for this restaurant...With regard to service, the staff is not friendly a little bit tough. I'd appreciate if they become a little more polite and courteous...And finally, this place is more like a Deli with a mini table counter attach to the wall and with only 3 stools...there is no tables here...“
“Finally…authentic, delicious Dominican food that I don’t have to go into NYC to order. My gathering was such a hit , catering was the best! The pictures won’t do this place justice. It’s the taste of a hole in the wall I missed so much. From their chicharron (fried pork rinds), to classic mangu (mashed plantains) with cheese, eggs + sausage. I’m drooling just looking through my food pictures from them. This review is long overdue. Trey it for yourself you won’t regret it!! Did I mention how friendly they all are? The service was great too!“
