Todo las empanadas así son.  Sin NADAAAAA ADENTRO!  VERGONZOSOS!! ESTAFADORES!

Compramos 40 empanada cobraron $120 y no tienen nada de carne. Yo llamé para quejar y salen con actitud en vez de disculparse. El dinero no importa pero que vergüenza vender algo así. Son estafadores no compren aquí! Nunca en mi vida a visto algo tan vergonzoso como esto. Alguien sabe de otro lugar donde vende empanadas pero normales. No solo con el muy disco con nada adentro. HORRIBLE! El dueño debería sentirse con vergüenza de robar las clientes así!

Cuban Sandwich Goodness
Shannon H.

So after trying this place for the first time, it was so good that I came back THE NEXT DAY! I didn't know what to expect from this unassuming bodega. When I left, I knew this is a place I'd have to visit often. Fortunately, a fellow Yelper posted a picture of the menu. I can't find a website. I will try and get an updated menu for Yelp during my next visit. The parking lot is tiny, but street parking right out front should be available. Prices are AMAZING! They have specials which are easy on the pockets. The service was friendly and quick. I called my order in which took around 20 minutes to have ready for pickup. Masks are currently required for customers & employees. Employees were also wearing gloves. The food was absolutely amazing! My top menu suggestion is the Chicharrón! $8 a pound for some of the best I've ever had! The Cuban sandwich's are HUGE and loaded with flavor. Big fan of the Tripe Soup! If you like tomato/pepper based soups, you'll love this. Huge pieces of tripe & perfectly cooked potatoes. The Fried Plantains were cooked perfectly and very cheap. They also have a huge selection of Spanish drinks & snacks. Overall, I'm so happy with this place! I can't wait to come back and satisfy my Chicharrón addiction!

Pigs Feet & Pernil & The Prerequisite of Rice & Beans  Doesn't look pretty, but the food was Dayum good! 12-14-2016

Thanks to Yelp or else I NEVER would have found this off the beaten path Dominican spot. Plopped in the middle of a residential area that sprouts up a few businesses as you drive down the road. Here in lies this little dazzler. Super clean, looks brand spanking new with a nice assortment of Bodega goodies. You get the full Deli of cold cuts & salads & the nice array of hot buffet items. All the regular items such as different flavored rices, beans, pernil aka roast pork, roast chicken, etc. Then they have the specials of the day. On this day I chose the pigs feet with some pernil thrown on top. Everything was seasoned very nicely. The young man who helped me was very friendly & helpful. They have a large assortment of beverages also. I will definitely be back. Good spot for sure. Gotta let my brother & sister in law know about it. 12-14-2016

My husband and I have now gone here two nights in a row and the food was delicious! I've had the pernil (pork) and chicharron and it was amazing. My husband tonight had their pastele and thought it was very good. The yellow rice with beans was also super yummy. We are always on the lookout for good spanish food and this place, which is pretty new to the area, seems like it is really quickly going to become a favorite. They offer a huge variety in their menu, from cold and hot sandwiches, to dinner platters, salads and soups. The atmosphere feels like a spanish bodega, and the people who work there are very friendly. It's clean and bright and there's a couple of tables and a TV for eating there, but it's really mostly for taking out. Im positive we'll be going here often, and right now I can't wait to try their white rice, black beans and some chicken! Update: had the chicken and it was fantastic. Husband also had their steak and really liked it. Daughter had the breaded chicken and thought it was very good. And, her boyfriend had the Cuban sandwich and said it was terrific! They are seriously going to end up knowing us by first name here soon

Pollo guisado with arroz and Maduros, yesssssssss

Love this place. The food is soooooooooooooooooooo dam delicious!!!!!! I love me all that Dominican grease in my tummy. I come here for lunch every day. It's a buffet so you could never go wrong. Everything taste great and taste fresh. You can eat inside as well. I always see a lot of people when I'm here so you know it's good.

Pernil with rice and beans
Symone F.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Would recommend the pernil, chic Arron and the beef empanadas. Think the skin on the pernil was over fried but not everyone likes the skin.

Recently tried out their newly opened location here. I had some craving for delicious stew meat and their original location is closed on Sundays to focus on promoting business here no doubt. Overall the food is very identical to their first location, the size is bigger and the equipments are new. Like their other location Oxtail is only on Mon/Wed/Fri but I happily got a combo of stew goat meat to go to happily eat at home. Very satisfied with their food although it would be nice if they throw in salads or plantains as part of the combo that I've experienced with other Dominican restaurants on Long Island. However despite the lack of extras their main course is top notch and I'm always happily to go back for more. You'll most likely prefer their bigger and newer location and not to have to feel so cramp anymore with plenty of open tables for seating. It was actually quite a number of steps going from ordering to the paying counter since the counter is so much bigger now! Definitely will be back for more awesome food.

Her customer service skills were the best I've seen anywhere in a very long time !! She even asked if I wanted a drink holder since i ordered a bunch of stuff so it would be easier to carry ! Something so small but no one does that ! Her attention to small details and pleasant attitude, and smile will definitely be a reason I come back to this location !!!

This place is located Ronkonkama in a mall along with Jersey Mikes, Movie Theatre, Lowe's etc. small store front. Inside there are tables setup utilizing the space nicely. Cutely decorated with a taco theme. Orders are taken at the counter and delivered to your table. We ordered the lunch special that included 2 tacos of your choice , rice & beans and a soda for $12.99. I ordered a pork taco and a shrimp Taco. My honey had the beef and cheese and chicken. The pork taco was very tasty and the rice and beans. I didn't like the shrimp taco because the shrimp were tiny and hard. My honey liked both of his tacos. It was a 5-10 minute wait for our order. There was also advertised a corn beef empanadas for St. Patrick's day. However, this seems to be a hot spot. It was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon. I think I'll return and do an updated review and try something else. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area.

I'm Colombian myself so seeing they had a bakery I was thrilled since majority don't. I went inside and no one else was there so i assumed fast service. Unfortunately I was wrong. I made eye contact several times and they proceeded to what they were doing. I of course waited and the gentleman took my order. They did not have buñuelos so I got pan de bono and 2 chicken empanadas with a soda. I had to wait for the empanadas which was fine for freshness. The wait felt longer than needed and more so I was forgotten and they proceeded to do what they were doing. There was several people in the back and looked like they were doing renovations since a ladder was in the front. Just felt very disorganized and lack of recognition that the they were open. While my empanada's were hot but mediocre in taste, my pan de bono was cold and dry. For the wait it would've been nice if that was heated up. Total was $16 for my $3 soda. Overall it felt steep and a waste of money. I was left disappointed and now still looking for a good Colombian bakery with actual good customer service.

Price - ~$75 (appetizer, entree, drink, tip) Food - 2/5 - lacking for the price. Drinks were lacking. Service - 4/5 - friendly and on point. Ambiance - 4/5 - cool vibe inside with rooftop. Overall - 3/5 - did just about everything right except the food. Service was great. Waitress was very friendly, gave recommendations, and fun to have around. Inside of restaurant had a cool vibe and was nice to be in. Rooftop was awesome and the highlight. Unfortunately the food fell short. For the price, it was pretty lacking in taste. Portion were ok but the food was all pretty lackluster. Mussels had curry in them but could barely taste it. Tacos were pretty bland. The drinks barely had alcohol in them? They tasted fine but had 2 drinks and barely felt a thing (I know my tolerance). Unfortunate on the food when it came to here. Likely would not return. Best Dish - None to note Would Return - Probably not
