Stop eating meat a full year ago, but this was...my... spot. Grew up eating at Cuchifritos (an uptown Latin franchise that dismantled with only a few spots still exist), this is closes to that experience here in Brooklyn. Chicken noodle soup is A1 👍
Been coming here since I was a kid. I love this place but I still wish it was bigger. If there was more room I would sit in here more and eat.
I personally enjoy the taste of everything I've eaten from this establishment, the half & half's especially refreshing in the summer.
I enjoy their food and it's fresh, plus they are "CLEAN" that's a MUST TO ME! They deliver and food is HOT. Thanks
The food is great and the customer service is awesome. I would recommend it to others.
Great Spanish food. Understanding staff only this is they only take cash. No debit or credit cards.
The food here is very delicious and the staff are welcoming.
I constantly order from here! Great food and the people who work here are awesome as well

My favorite place to get food in Crown Heights. Perfect flan. I haven’t had anything off their grill because I go for the steaming buffet that’s by the window. You can see the steam rising off the meats from the sidewalk, and smell it too. Right away you know it’s gonna be good. I’ve had the ribs, roast pork, and beef stew, but my favorite is the baked chicken. Try it over the mangu. Nice staff. Good price. :)
Quick home style food, you can taste the love in it! Was most impressed by the roasted chicken, fall off the bone with good flavor. Treated myself to the shrimp mofongo, came with good amount of shrimp and was very moist and fresh the way it's supposed to be. Definitely a neighborhood staple. Open Monday-Saturdays! Seems they accept card too. Great value, friendly service. Most of them seem to speak English, was able to make it with my Spanglish ;)
Good place and tasty and delicious
Best ! Great prices never change ! Real authentic Dominican food
This place seems like a meat eaters paradise, but for the vegetarians out there: It’s not really on the official menu, but they will make you a plate of Delicious rice and beans and plantains for a very good price.
8 dollars for roast pork, yellow rice and beans is p4p the best deal in the whole neighborhood and tastes like Christmas at abuela's.
They have some really delicious food. I have been eating there for over 15 years now.
Delicious food, so many options. Great for take out. And now they accept credit cards!
Wonderful food, have to work hard to resist going there every day.

Great Spanish Food... Had breakfast
Great tasting food. Sometimes when the lady answers the phone to take your order she seems to be distracted and gets your order wrong
Get there early if u want really fresh food
Great place to eat great chef nice people eating there 15 years or more
JC Mar I have frequent this Spanish spot for years. The food is delicious. I love their roast pork, yellow rice and beans. I love the sweet plantains. The baked chicken is good and tasty. It is a small spot but always busy. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mostly to go. They also delivery. The staff is friendly and they know their regular customers. They also do party meals when requested. They also have delicious soup and they also serve pork chops, pork ribs, baked ziti and so much more.
Some of the best beefy Mac and cheese I have ever had. They used real good seasonings, penne noodles, melted cheese on top casserole style, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Will be going back for more. A large container only costed me $6 too
First time trying the food at this restaurant. The food was very good. Nice selection. We didn't eat in, it was too small for a large crowd. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth a try!
- well for starters they was one of the first place to have turkey bacon. In known for their breakfast, but their lunch dinner menu is good as well. And inexpensive.
Really enjoyed the food especially the rice and beans, I wish the place had a larger sitdown a d order area

It was ok good variety of food
We noticed this restaurant while coming from a doctor's appointment. It is very small with maybe 3 to 4 tables. It seems to work for the neighborhood because there were some customers in and out. The men up front were not so welcoming. The Senorita who took our order was welcoming and seem to know what she was doing. The empanadas were good. The chicken and rice w/black beans was decent. The rice needed a little moisture. All and all, not bad.

It's a small Dominican spot that serves food throughout the day. The food itself is great but I can't say the same about the service. There have been times when I've ordered food for pickup 30-45 minutes beforehand and it's still not ready when I arrive. There have been others times when I've ordered food for delivery and it took longer than it should have. What ultimately stopped me from ordering from this place was that my mom got a stomach virus after eating food from here earlier this year. It's a shame because the food isn't bad at all.

Food is delicious, but the service is horrible!
