My problem, I can't look at a menu without leaving with something. So the first time I had them I went home & had no clue how to eat what was In front of me. What goes with what & what doesn't, do I eat it all together? Too much to question so my honest rating was low (4/10) but for some reason while I was back at work sitting I decided to give it another try.. the same exact meal.. & now today I can say that I eat from them twice a week

I got the oxtail with rice and beans and cabbage. Everything was excellent. I just wish I had asked to have more gravy added over my rice. The lady behind the counter was super nice, helped me decide what to get. It's pretty bare bones inside, just a couple tables, plastic utensils, etc. I'd be fine eating in again but I might get take out next time. Either way, go here and get some great Latino/Caribbean style food, expand your horizons. Oh before I forget. Add the pickled onion on top, it's a great counterbalance to all the rich flavors.

The menus were just sitting on the counter where u have to order. They didn't have very much that I understood what it was. My son wanted pastelillos ,so he got 2 beef & cheese & I've never had them before, so I just got 1 chicken & cheese to go. Mine was pretty empty, which seems to be an ongoing thing with all my food lately, but his were packed. It tasted ok, but I'd never get another one. He liked his though. Maybe I'd go in there just to get him some more sometime.

Whenever I'm in the mood for some authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, this will be my go-to spot! I ordered a chicken and cheese pastelito, marinated chicken and rice. My pastelito was filled with amazing flavors and it was perfectly fried. It was also super inexpensive! Only $2 per pastelito. The rice was well seasoned and as you can see in the photo, they give you a really healthy serving! The flavor of the marinated chicken was just okay, but the consistency of the cook was perfect. I could slice the chicken so easily and it wasn't over cooked. I would definitely recommend trying this spot out because I am so happy that I did!

Oh. My. Word! First, I'll start with the one, single…read moredisappointing thing... The day we visited, they did not have any baked goods (they said they only have them on the weekend), so we couldn't try the peras de coco (coconut rolls). But, perhaps it was kind of a blessing because our picada was plentiful. The dining area isn't huge, but they also do take out. There are about 5 or so tables to dine in. The service was a tad slow, but very friendly; I believe there was only one person waiting, cooking & serving AND the food was more than worth the wait! We ordered the picada for 4 and my brother tried a Colombiana cola. He liked it a lot; it was lighter than a "normal" cola, non-carbonated and less sweet than cola around here. I don't drink pop and even when I did, I always hated colas. I can't say I'd drink a whole Colombiana, but I didn't find it disgusting & that's saying something. Now on to the star of the show, the picada! It was loaded with several different meats, plantains fixed in different ways, yuca & baby potatoes and 4 sauces. We were so excited when it was set down on our table, we dug in before we even got our silverware haha. The platter had chicken, steak, chicharron, chorizo, blood sausage, sausage, sweet plantain, fried plantain, fried yuca and Colombian potatoes. The sauces were: avocado sauce, mayo/ketchup, pico de gallo & a garlicky one. Everything was so, so flavorful and cooked perfectly! There was not one thing that any of us didn't like. If I had to pick my top contender of a meat and a non-meat item, I would choose the chicharron & sweet plantain.... But I hope to never have to make that choice! The chicharron were thick and crunchy. The sweet plantain were perfection. When we left we were each given a dulce de leche caramel. They also have a variety of Colombian snacks and candies for sale. They recently opened an additional, larger location at 951 Niagara Falls Blvd (it used to be El Palenque). We were told they will be keeping both locations open, but the new location will have some additional items that they don't serve at the Oliver St location. I cannot wait to visit again!!!

The food does take awhile because they make everything fresh so when you do get it, it is piping hot! The three of us got the Picada for 2 to share and the Caldo de Bola Res with grilled tilapia. It was more than enough to share and we had leftovers that we could eat for two more meals at home. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked well. Nothing tasted dry at all! The chicharron was my favorite so I got a separate order of just that to take home. Highly recommend and would definitely go there again!

809 Takeout in Greece, NY is a slice of heaven, and as a Dominican, I can say with full confidence…read morethat this place is the real deal. If you are craving authentic Dominican food, look no further. Every dish is made with love and tastes exactly like home cooking. The menu covers all the classics: pollo guisado, arroz blanco, habichuelas, pernil, moro, chicharron, and frituras, just to name a few. And if you do not see something you want, just ask! The staff goes out of their way to accommodate you and will do their best to make it happen. Speaking of staff, they are consistently friendly, warm, and welcoming every single visit. That kind of hospitality is rare and it makes the experience even better. One thing to keep in mind: the space is small with limited seating, so takeout is the way to go. But trust me, the food travels beautifully and is absolutely worth it. If you are in Greece and looking to try something new and exciting, do yourself a favor and check out 809 Takeout. You will not be disappointed!
