I came to NYC around a month ago and I was looking for a place like this one, where you can buy affordable, delicious and reasonably healthy food (having eaten too many burgers and sandwiches this month). The portion sizes are quite big, I barely managed to eat all of the meat and half of the rice. The price is similar to what you'd pay to buy a meal at McDonalds, so going to this place instead is a no-brainer. The corn bread was amazing!That being said, I am giving the atmosphere just 1 star because I had the worst time waiting inside. It was also so loud that I could barely hear the person who served me both times I was there. The staff was patient and friendly enough though. The other customers, not so much. In my country, when a place is crowded, you usually wait near the door until the line starts moving, which is what I did. Someone must have thought that I was trying to cut the line and literally whistled at me and pointed to a spot behind him like I was a dog. 5 years ago, I would've left never to return again, but I understand that this is not the fault of the staff, so I stayed and bought a delicious meal. It is advisable to avoid the lunch rush and other customers some of who lack basic manners.

This isnt the sort of place you sit and eat at but boy is the food delicious. It was my first time and Alex's didnt disappoint. I ordered a sancocho, 2 half chicken combo meals (the price totals what you would pay for a whole chicken family meal somewhere else) and a natural orange juice.... everything was super tasty. Im already dying to go back and try some of their chuletas (pork chops) and pernil lol ?. The ladies working the counter were super helpful as well. If youre from the Caribbean then you know the tastes and spices you are looking for in each island. This is an authentic dominican spot and my puerto rican belly was happy.

When I walked in it felt like prison, I left the place but had a second thought and decided to walk back inside, some of the best empanadas I've ever had.

I am giving 5 stars because the food was delicious although for the price $15.95 for a 1 meat plate the amount that is given is not worth it. It comes in a 3 section divided plate. I ordered the Pernil with white rice and red beans. The amount of Pernil was disappointing and the beans that came in a small container were mostly caldo (sauce) with very few beans, however, they were delicious. I wish there was more. There was lots of white rice which was very tasty and everything together was really very good and seasoned quite well. I also ordered cheese empanadas that were also very good. Not greasy and very crispy. I don’t know if I’d order again because the price with delivery, fees and tip is not worth it for the small amount given. Maybe if I’m in the neighborhood and drop in because the food is well made.

I was in the area with a friend, the girls who were serving had a bad mood, they don't have good customer service, it's a shame because the food was very good, my friend ordered roast chicken and the girl gave her what she wanted, very bad, we felt very uncomfortable. for the deal!!! The man at the checkout is very friendly, it hurts the girls who are serving, they don't know anything about customer service!!

I'm from Washington Heights, aka Little Dominican Republic, and after moving to Brooklyn 16 years ago, GOOD Dominican food has been hard to come by until...... I found Alex's Luncheonette. I only come here for Dominican food and little frituras like quipe's, pastelitos, arepitas, etc. It's good every single
Best Dominican /Puerto Rican food in Apopka. You can choose all kind of selection behind the counter as a buffet but more clean... The catering is perfect as well!
