Out of 10 i give this place a 5. This was my first time getting food from here. $40 is pricey for quality and quantity of food that I received. They are cheap with the rice and thats surprising for a Spanish restaurant the beans weren't watery but could use a dabb of something salt or garlic etc. The chicharron de pollo was well seasoned but all bones no meat, the grilled pork chop were tender but they gave me one big thick cut and a thin cut smaller one ( that caused a fight between the kids ) The maduros were not sweet and juicy they were dry and hard. Might order one more time because I like to give restaurants two chances before I say no and scratch it off the list of places to eat.

I’ve been to Elena 43 in Queens Village a few times before and usually had no issues, which is why this recent experience was so frustrating. I ordered the family combo with a whole rotisserie chicken and simply asked to swap the rice and beans for just French fries. I also requested to substitute the sweet plantains for green plantains nothing crazy, just a small preference change. Instead of being met with understanding, the staff came off rude and unwilling to accommodate. It really threw me off, especially since I’ve ordered similar adjustments here before with no problem. As a local, I want to support neighborhood businesses, but it’s hard to do that when basic requests are met with attitude. And the wait time was very displeasing. The food is good!, but the customer service this time? Really disappointing. I hope this was just a one off situation, but it definitely left a bad taste.

The food was good but I paid $10.95 for this amount of pernil, I specifically asked how big is the container because someone said it only comes in one size and the size seemed perfect until I opened the bag when I got home. Will NOT be returning

I ordered rice and beans with chicken and all I received was a sauce that did not contain any beans inside of it.

I usually order the family chicken combo and it's usually delicious but yesterday's delivery was disappointing the chicken was not the same as it normally is I ordered 3 sodas was charged for them but never received them. Maybe they had a different cook yesterday I don't know but I was disappointed with my chicken

A few days ago I ordered food from this restaurant through Uber Eats and I couldn't eat it. It was pork ribs and unfortunately they were spoiled. So I don't recommend it

I usually always buy food from here but There was a roach in my rice and I didn’t even realize until I moved the rice around. I can’t say I’ll be coming back after this

Look at this undercooked fish I was served. How unfortunate is it that you spend a reasonable amount on food with a set expectation and restaurants like this one treat customers without regard. I could have gotten sick from eating undercooked food. This is disappointing. I also purposely did not eat the head of the fish as it was moist (the snapper I ordered was supposed to be fried).

Literally pointless to call in for pick up. Every time I try to call in I end up waiting an addition 15-20 minutes in the restaurant. Food is mediocre and not worth the price. I really wish there were other Dominican restaurants in the area because this one just sucks.

Worst Spanish food I've ever eaten. My normal spot ran out of chicken, I came here. Placed my order, waited 15 minutes and went home. I took the food out, looked decent. Taste wise it's bland. How does stew chicken just taste like watered down tomato sauce. Everything has no taste. Worst part about this is that I paid $17 for the worst Spanish food I've ever had. Every other spot I go to is around $10 and it's way better then this one.
