Here in Rockaway there isn't much option when it comes to authentic Dominican food. Not sure why but I'm glad we got this place. This is a family run business which expanded to another sister restaurant on B. 116th street about a year ago. The food here is amazing. I once complained about the salt being too overpowering but that has since subsided, probably just a bad day. There's so much option here and you can request something from the menu if it's not there. I personally love their fried rice which reminds me of the Chaufa rice from some Peru/ Asian restaurants. The roasted chicken and pernil are really good. Can't forget their $1 empanadas. Try the chicken one...thank me later. I also order the avocado salad which reminds me of ceviche without the seafood. So yummy. Good portions, friendly service, fresh food, what more can you ask for. Oh, and they have a lot of seating and they accept debit/credit. Buen provecho. read more

This was a waste of a cheat meal . The pork, fried chicken , beans all bland nothing special and flavorless. Ceviche was ok but nothing special either . Price for the food was ok. And I guess a home cooked meal without the flavor but I'd think Twice about going back here. Customers service was pretty good and everything was fresh that's why the 3 stars read more

Brisas Del Mar - two plates of food - Dominican Near Me - Rockaway Park, New York

I say my thanks for this restaurant every day. I eat vegan and can cobble together a dynamite dish here. I love their avocado salad, beets, Maduros, & pickled onions. The red hot sauce is homemade and phenomenal. Ask for it! They charge me a different amount for the same thing every time, but I could care less bc they're fabulous in every regard and good luck finding better Dominican food elsewhere. Tip: Keep yr eyes open for their signed displayed photo of Anthony Bourdain eating there!! read more

I came here because my coworker lives near by. We ordered chicken with rice and beans. The food was so good and fresh. The prices were affordable and they gave so much food. The area is nice and redone after Hurricane Sandy. Please give this local business a try Rockaway. People need to come to the Rockaways and bring in more revenue. Support NYC beach communities! read more

Awesome food that's always fresh and ready to go. Very friendly owners and staff. The Pernil is always well seasoned and super tasty.

Best Dominican dish's in NYC. Variety selections always flavorful. I love the roasted pernil, yellow rice n gradulas and green salad. Affordable prices and huge quantity. read more

Brisas Del Mar Corp is an awesome addition to the neighborhood. Love the ambiance of this place. OMG, their Avocado Salad was absolutely yummy, such a spectacular dish with outstanding flavors. All of the staff are really helpful - you most certainly feel welcome and looked after. Enjoy Brisas Del Mar Corp. read more

Just had lunch with my daughter at this restaurant and everything we had was deliciouso! Someone was leaving the restaurant while we were crossing the street and the smell of Spanish food crossed the street to meet us and enticed us to enter. We ordered at the counter and sat by the window to eat. My daughter ordered Fried plantains with pork ribs and a beef empanada. I ordered yellow rice and beans with extra beans and sauce on top with a piece of fried white fish and sweet bananas on side. The food was tasty and fresh! This place is a great spot for really good food that's authentic, ethnic, and delicious. The price is right too! Lunch was $15. If your looking for good Spanish food than this is the spot! read more

Brisas Del Mar - the front of a restaurant - Dominican Near Me - Rockaway Park, New York

See all

Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it's not so good. When they have it, the cerviche is amazing! But I've gone there a few times, and they did't have it. The portion sizes are very large, but a bit off. Way too much rice and not enough chicken. The service is not so good. I (along with another couple) literally stood at the counter for about 5 minutes without being acknowledged. The only thing that stopped me from leaving was the fact that I wanted plantains really bad. And they turned out to be dry. This place is definitely hit or miss. read more

First time and definitely not my last . The portions here are huge and they have literally EVERY Dominican comfort food you could imagine . You just go down the line and tell the server what you want and you just sit back and watch them stack your plate up to the heavens. Muy rica y buen servicio. read more

Brisas Del Mar - Pernil con maduros, arróz con gandules, y yucca . - Dominican Near Me - Rockaway Park, New York

The entire restaurant isn't bad. They get 1 star because their chain location on 116th street has better customer service, better tasting food- and they make the same thing. Aside from only serving and giving their Hispanic customers top priority, this restaurant has a bad habit of not cleaning their dishes thoroughly. I got the chicken and noticed soap still on the utensil. She used the same utensil to put my cebollas on top of my salad. I shouldve said something. I was throwing up and had the runs bright and early the next day. Another time I was waiting patiently to order and the woman ignores me twice. I'm black but I know Spanish so I spoke in Spanish and was acknowledged. She was a bit embarassed because she didnt know if I was Spanish or not. Their 116th street location is heaven on earth. I guess you cant pick your family but you can put them to work. I like the 2nd location better read more

Don't ever buy fresh beverages from this location they use a artificial powdered flavored drinks to make lemonade and Spanish drinks

I usually like the food here but customer service sucks ‍ after ordering a small meal & ordered 4 empanadas the guy ignored me and basically brushed me off when I asked for plantains & continued taking someone else's order as I stood there. When I get to the register my card declines for whatever reason and they guy says " you no have no money " & starts laughing .. I personally don't get the joke because why would I go anywhere without money I guess he thinks black people are broke if you are of African American decent DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION! read more

This is not a fancy restaurant. But this is the real restaurant that offer great food in cheap price! This is the only restaurant that I always go back, always busy and always people waiting for take away. I believe that shows the restaurant offer great food. My favorite is 1$ fresh empanadas, and chicken soup. read more

Very good empanadas! They are very good! I definitely recommend going to Brisas Del Mar Corp!

Having seen this on Bourdain's Parts Unknown, we stopped by for dinner after the beach. Great food for unbeatable prices. The empanadas are out of this world. The chicken thigh was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Other favorites included the flan (so sweet and delicious) and fried plantains. YUM!!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

My sister filled up a plate heaping with rice, beans, fish, plantains, and avocados. We planned to share but ended up going back for a second plate. The fish is battered in something delicious, the avocados are abundant, and the price (low) is hard to believe. read more

Man I don't have much to say the staff are lovely very professional, the food is amazing the portions stacked the food is fresh , just keep up the good work read more

Checked this place out a few weeks ago. The prices were reasonable and the food was so-so. I had the 1/2 rotisserie style chicken with arroz con pollo and beans. My friend had the chuleta with white rice and beans. We were both underwhelmed by the flavor which was kinda bland. We both took our leftovers to work for lunch the next day but didn't eat it due to the smell. It didn't smell sour but it didn't smell like it should be eaten either. I was willing to try this place this again but not really sure its worth it seeing as though I make pretty great spanish food myself. read more

$20 will get about 10 lbs of food. The chicken, pernil, and rice with pigeon peas are my favorite. The lady who answers the phone is always friendly and so are the delivery drivers. Oh and the pastelitos are huge and only cost $1. One of the best places in rockaway! I just wish they were open later. read more

Why the low ratings?! I bumped into this restaurant with my husband while looking for a place to have lunch when we were visiting Rockaway Beach this past weekend. Not only was the food good and reasonably priced, but the service was fast and friendly. read more

Slamming!!! Wow. Highly recommend 5 dollar lunch perfect. Love this spot empanadas are also on point

They get a strong 4 stars i walked in here only to find clean food clean restaurant, fresh smelling food the chicken oven roasted or charred in a grill or smoker top quality they sell everything they make I find diverse people walking into this authentic Dominican restaurant all the food looked so beautiful compared to other locations on this strip very organized and good customer service all the kids come here for empanadas which by the way are amazing ! good to know there not buying junk food ! Overall this is the place to be if you want to feel good after you eat I recommend everything on the menu enjoy ! read more

This place started off good from the first order, although prices on the online menu do not match at all with the prices given by whomever handles your order when you call. The second time there were issues with pricing again. Figured the food is good, I'll let it go for a second time. I let it go once again a third time. Now a fourth order is placed and of course yet again I ordered a specific dish, which I have ordered since the very first time I gave my business to this place. Tonight for the last time I had a long day working and did not want to cook, therefore my hubby and I decided to order some take-out from here and the person who handled the call went ahead and went crazy with pricing. I can appreciate good service, quality of food, what I do not tolerate is when you are trying to pull what I see as a scam with the prices. I unfortunately got tired of holding on to the other copies of the receipts due to the fact that this has been an ongoing issue from the very 1st time and cannot put them on blast with copies of the receipts, but I do want to make other consumers aware of this issue. Also the females tend to get very rude whenever you ask questions regarding these type of issues. So I am actually giving them the two stars only because the food is decent. read more

I literally stood in line for 15 minutes to order chicken with rice and beans it was 6 people in line. Someone called an order in and the server behind the counter gave the remainder of 6 pieces of chicken to the phone order. Then when I stop her and say wait miss I'm ordering chicken she looks and says I mami there's no more. How is that when I'm in line. So basically don't bother going just order on the phone then you get top treatment. They didn't even try to compensate for the blatant disrespect. I eat from here at least once a week WELL NOT ANY MORE!!!! read more

I have no idea why people rave about this place. First, ordered food and full order was not ready for pick up so instead of waiting for the rest of the order to get cold, left without one item. Second, was left waiting to pick up order while counter help assisted walk-ins rather than take care of a call in order that was sitting getting cold and was not complete! Food was awful. Watery tasteless beans, garlic shrimp had old fishy odor. First and last time for this place. UPDATE: This review was written a while back and not submitted. Knowing the quality of food establishments in Rockaway Pk, NY, I can only imagine it is worse or possibly closed down. This review is insignificant in placement with regard the the reviews I have been posting the past several days. read more

I'm so happy I found this place. From the outside it doesn't look like much, in fact I wasn't even sure it was open the couple times I first drove past by in and I also would have never guessed it was a restaurant until I looked it up on Yelp. This is a typical Domi/Carribean Latino food joint. There are a couple tables and after school this place was jammed packed. The restaurant is setup like a cafeteria and has all sorts of foods, like pernil, arroz con gandules, yucca, empanadas, habcheules, pollo, flan...I mean you name typical Criolla dishes and they probably have it. Prices are also decent for the amount of food you get, they fill containers to the brim. Street parking which can be kinda annoying but its just like every other business there. Employees are actually nice, they get the job done. There is a 10 minimum for credit cards as well. Overall? I will be back, especially during the times where I miss home. read more

So much food to choose from but they didnt even reheat my chicken just served it to me cold. Will never come here again ....

Hello Yelp! This is NOT a mexican restaurant. Gosh! Anyway. This is a dominican food restaurant that sells typical carribbean latin cusine. Arroz con habichuela (rice and beans), polla a la barilla (rotisserie chicken), pollo o carne giesao (stew chicken or beef). It's good food but what I like best is the atmosphere and friendliness. Usually not much of a wait and not expensive. Only thing is by 5pm they tend sell out of rotisserie chicken and sometimes it can be dry. Try their batida de Tamarindo! read more

Didn't care for it. Food had no flavor n most everything they had on the menu, they were out of. La joya de ceron on beach 114th st is wayyyy better. N they actually have food that's on their menu. read more

Had some great Spanish food from here this weekend. Working in the South Bronx this place had big shoes to fill and it was great. Steak in onions was so tasty and the roast pork was good. Empenada was one of the best I have ever had will definitely be making this a regular when going back to Rockaway. read more

The food is PERFECT. But the customer service? not so much. This restaurant is flooded with students most of the time, and I'm not sure Brisas understands that a large portion of their profit is from students, yet their treated like shit. I can write about 6/7 personal accounts of blatant rudeness from workers. read more

I have been coming here since it first opened. First I need to say who who ever categorized this as Mexican is dumb.. its actually Dominican... its family owned n operated. Very cheap food n reasonable. Its freezing there in the Winter n hot as hell in the Summer... I rarely sit in there because of this. They have cable Tv to watch while you eat n the staff is friendly... as for the food I recommend the rice n beans aka arroz y gandulez, chicken w peppers n onions, roast pork aka penine, and as strange as it sounds the meatballs are quite tasty for their size lol. Expect to pay between 6 to 8.50 if your hungry. The Cuban sandwich is the best I have ever eaten n made the correct way. Happy eating ;) read more

Same incredibly perfect Tres Leches as their location on 116th. Humble spot, extraordinary eats. Highly recommended.

Yummy food, huge portions!! BF and I ordered delivery from here, got it fast and it was delicious. We had enough food left over from dinner to feed 3 or 4 more people!! Prices are reasonable, hard to get them on the phone, but once you do it is well worth it. We had Chicharones de pollo, pollo giesao, mofungo con pollo, arroz con habichuela, and even tried a guyava cake.... Cake was a little dry but the favor was great. Happy to add this place to my local menu!!! read more

SO GOOD! I get home late a lot now and they are already closed so I miss this place. The food is always delicious! Love the pernil & tostone. The prices are amazing for what you get. The guys that work there are so sweet. Anytime they see us they always say hi. I 100% recommend this place! read more

I liked this place... The food was good and the price was reasonable. I ordered a cheese empinada and it was really good.. The rice and garlic shrimp was nice. The passion fruit juice was a bit sweet, but overall good food for a quick bite.. What I really liked about this resturant was the customer service. The people were very friendly and helpful.. The location a little hard to get to, but if you are in the area, it's a good place to try.. read more
