What an amazing place to grab a quick bite. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was friendly and quick. The set up is buffet style prepared food and you pick and choose what you want to eat. The tables are clean and it was not crowded during lunch hour, as mostly people came in and bought food to go. Highly recommend it, if you're looking for some delicious no frills, fresh food! read more

Fav Spanish eatery in the Rockaway area and honestly one of my favs in all of nyc. Amazing pernil and empanadas.

Order 12 pastles on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and had to throw away 6 of them they didn't have any Meat (pork) in them the meat they used was canned corn beer meat . Not what is traditionally used in pastles I felt like I was eating Dog food meat , terrible. I've been trying to call someone all day. The only person that I got acted like I was talking in. Chinese didn't understand what I was trying to say oh they don't sell pastles?? read more

FYI, this place is not closed. I was here yesterday. I must admit I do like their other location much better. This location near 116th St has no table sitting, just limited seating along the window ledge. The food is ok, but the food quality is much better at their other location. They also ilegally charge a 20% surcharge if you pay with credit card and there is no sign posted anywhere indicating this. Pay in cash if you come here. I never heard of a 20% credit card fee. That cannot be legal. Also, when I asked for a receipt, the lady walked away. read more

Brisas Del Mar II - Spanish Near Me - Rockaway, New York

Just arrived to Rockaway and took a stroll downtown(?). Anyway, my young granddaughter said it was a good place to eat and walked right in. Being as it was my first time, it was confusing without a menu or the item labeled behind the counter. I told the lady to surprise me she gave me a yellow rice and pulled/shredded pork/ beef. Whatever kind of meat, it was very tender and well seasoned. Maybe I can make it back when it's not busy and ask questions. read more

I recently ordered fried chicken chunks through Uber Eats. Unfortunately, the chicken appeared overly dark and there seemed to be an excessive amount of oil in the pan. I think I might consider other options in the future. read more

This restaurant has a few locations in the area but this one is close to our home.. We've been here a few times. The food is always made fresh daily and the portions are huge even when you order the small lunch size, the ladies fill the container so much the lid barely fits & they have to wrap foil over the top to secure the lid . The empanadas are huge and filled with beef, chicken, pernil or cheese & cooked perfectly. I always get the white rice with beef stew...... the meat is tender & melts in your mouth and the huge pieces of carrots & potatoes are scrumptious. S ordered the white rice with chicken stew. The chicken was tender & juicy with assorted peppers. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner plus they do catering. Then restaurant also makes shakes, juices and has an assortment of desserts. Monday- Saturday they have daily specials at a great price. The ladies here are very nice & helpful. The only drawbacks for this restaurant are there's only 1 table with 4 chairs AND they charge you more money if you don't pay cash. There's NO sign stating there's an extra "Non-Cash Charge" added to the bill if you pay by credit/debit card read more

This is based only on the thing I get because it IIIIIIS SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD I don't even bother (actually I always browse what else to get but I end up with the ) PERNIL!!!!!! It shredded pork swimming in its juicy super super super flavorful jus...$7 for it plus a side..which I get the maduros...sweet fried plantains... I also request the fatty bits because honestly that's my jamb! A small is very filling because it's all protein...w the leftovers I make quesadillas or stuffed peppers or top my congee...this Pernil ROCKS! read more

Came here for lunch before we headed to Beach 116 Pros: - Food here is amazing. Got two mains (roasted chicken and beef stew) and a side (caramelized plantain) for $13, and was able to split between two people. - Beef stew was tender and full of flavor; roasted chicken was moist Cons: - None! read more

These are one of the few (maybe only) Spanish restaurants near Far Rockaway beach. Food was great but they are scammers! Please beware that they're menu prices don't match their actual prices. Here is an example: we ordered a chicharrón de pollo and the menu says $12. When we went to pay the bill it showed up at $18!!! The lady w the blonde hair then attempted to defend the bill by saying that it's because we ordered boneless chicharrón de pollo and with the bone is cheaper..... but where is that on the menu? NO WHERE. They should've honored the menu price. Never again lesson learned! They take advantage because of the demographics of the area. Ridiculous. read more

I want to like this place since there is limited authentic Latin food in the upper Rockaways, but their customer service is horrible and the food is just ok. On 2 occasions I placed and order for delivery. In both cases they said 40-45 min. And in both cases I received my food after an hour and a half. I called the restaurant and they wanted me to contact their delivery driver and when I responded that that is not my responsibility, the girl told me oh well and hung up. To make matters worse, I ordered a coffee an most of my coffee had spilled in the bag. The delivery guy had nothing to say about that. I will never be ordering from them again. I rather drive somewhere else for better food and better service. read more

Brisas Del Mar II - My coffee - Spanish Near Me - Rockaway, New York

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. read more

Great food! We sometimes pick-up our order. The place is clean, all of the food is fresh, you can see all of your choices through the glass, the servings are generous and the decision is always difficult because everything looks great. We also order delivery on the phone; they are courteous, they always get the order correct, the delivery is quick, the food is perfectly packaged and the delivery person is friendly. read more

Ordered lunch menu and mangu Tiniest portion for a lunch menu. Steak was dry and had no flavor. Ordered peppered steak and got cubed steak with not one pepper in sight. The beans were soggy and squished. Not even the rice and beans were good. Everything lacked flavor. As for mangu, it was better but cheap salami is used which tastes like hot dog and the mangu also lacked flavor. Surprisingly the easiest foods were unflavorful. read more

Outstanding fresh food plenty of variety very clean prices are good you will not be hungry after one of there meals people are very friendly I go there twice a month at least read more

The fried fish is amazing! My boyfriend and I come here to eat all the time, it's authentic Spanish food, it's fresh off the stove, grill food, I love it!! You need to come here read more

The customer service was beyond a wonderful experience. Their portions are generous and their food is one of the best on the peninsula. The ladies who work there are super kind-hearted, and make sure anybody who comes into their establishment is well fed and happy with their order. (Their roast chicken with yellow rice is bomb if you can't decide what to order -- although everything they have here is amazing!) read more

Best Tres Leches I ever had. They're incredibly friendly ladies, as well, which is a breath of fresh air. I saw a young boy cleaning the floor and I knew my heart was in the right brick and mortar establishment. I always leave here happy. read more

food was good, but the service was horrible, and the workers were extremely racist. I didn't know what they were saying at first because I don't speak Spanish but when I brought a friend with me that does, he told me. It truly a shame but I won't go there anymore, and advice you not too ether. read more

Our first impression of the restaurant was it's literally a hole in the wall. There was no AC in the middle of July on a 90 degree day and the Buffet was severely slacking. Menu prices are also very deceiving as when you order to a certain specificity they raise the prices significantly without any warning. The food was okay but not worth the prices charged. read more

So I decided to give this new restaurant a try, and let me just say it was worth the drive! It's a family Owed restaurant and the staff is super nice! Beyond helpful when it comes to ordering and they treat you as a family member your self! The food was beyond tasty! And I loved the fact that there's plenty of options. They just recently opened up maybe a week ago so there's still a lot of renovations to be done but I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

I give 5 stars for the mangu breakfast. It was like BUTTAH! The servers were very friendly and accommodating.

Love this restaurant for the weeknights I don't feel like cooking! Great food for a good price !! And they have amazing passion fruit juice !! read more

I went for the first time with my girlfriend and we had mangu. We loved it!!!!! And we will be back for more. Thanks for the great service .

Terrible food and service I asked if onions were in the food they said no. I am allergic to onions I got sick

I love Brisas Del Mar ( it means Seabreezes, for you non Spanish speaking folks). I found this place kinda on accident, I wanted bagels for breakfast and a new bagel joint had opened up so I went to this spot and realized the bagel place was gone, and thats okay because Brisas Del Mar is where its at( they serve b-fast too!). Anyway, located on 116th, which I won't even comment with my usual parking rant. Just bring quarters or come on Sunday. I really like this location and the people. It has a more upscale feel than the one in the lower 100's ( or 90's). However, good food can be found in rat-hole places and for that I am thankful that Brisas Del Mar wins on food, service and decor/cleanliness. I've never had an issue with service, the ladies at the counter and serving are prompt and get to business. I've seen people of different ethnicities here so I know it's not just because I'm Hispanic that I get treated well. When I first went here I was disappointed because of the lack of variety, but than I don't know if I went when they were brand new and fresh or because it was an hour to closing however, I recently went here and was delighted at the variety that reminds me of my mami's cooking and home. Luckily I live so close and I will be here again on the days I'm too lazy to slave in the kitchen with food I grew up on. I do suggest anyone who hasn't had Dominican/Caribbean food to try it as it is very on point with the flavor profile. Oh, and my only gripe is the advertisement of this place being called "Spanish". It's Caribbean-Dominican, and I say this as a Puerto Rican knowing the difference. Spanish food is totally different. read more

It's simple interior. You walk into this restaurant and it's just bare. Then you sit down and eat all the food. Great food. Great prices. Let's hope summer beach traffic this place thrives. read more

Place is very clean food is amazing and the workers are very pleasant they also have a bathroom for customers

oh my goodness! I have been to their first restaurant, been going for about 10 years now and theyve always been incredible. i FINALLY tried their second restaurant and wow, just as amazing with incredible service. its family run, everyone is super sweet and helpful. their mangu breakfast is TO DIE FOR so delicious!!! would recommend this place until the end of time! read more

Finally a latino food place in my neighborhood! The food is as good as Dominican food gets. There's variety and good pricing. My only suggestion is that the sign needs to be changed - thus is not Spanish (from Spain) food - it is Dominican food (from the Dominican Republic) and there is a big difference. read more

Food is always good. Love that they take both cash and card. Good prices. They do have attitudes at times and aren't the best at welcoming. Customer service needs to be worked on but i have always gone to them and don't see myself stopping. read more

I really wanted to like this place, we need some more dining options in the area, but this was just NOT it. We ordered some fairly simple dishes for delivery, chicken and rice, mofongo and fish. Not only did the food arrive cold, but there was an empty granola bar (?) wrapper in the bag (presumably from the driver) and a hair in the fish. Needless to say, we were grossed out and do not plan to order from here again. read more

Welcome to 116 , I just finished one of the best meals of 2016. The food is fantastic, fresh & tasty. Prices are very fair but the food speaks for itself. A welcome addition to 116st. I highly recommend , I will return next week for the pork & tropical drinks (non alcoholic). Bring your friends & family. read more

What makes Brisas Del Mar II is the hospitality. When you walk through the door they make you feel welcomed. My favorite meal is the rice and beans with goat stew and I must say that Im always impressed with the quality of the food and taste. The price for a meal is not questionable as you will be fed for two for the price of one. read more
