Cuisine: 7 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Stopped by this Cuban restaurant that's been around for over 3.5 years. The Cubano sandwich is massive enough to feed two people. The flavors are a little off for me, but still a good version. The ropa vieja also lacked a little something, but they use tri-tip instead of the usual flank steak, which felt more tender. The owner Benny was also kind enough to give us some free desserts to take home, which were pretty good. With that said, what intrigued me the most was the interesting story about how Benny fell into this restaurant situation after swearing he would never be in this industry again. He is a strong believer in supporting the community, and has a nonprofit called Hungry Monk Rescue Truck that deals with food insecurity in NYC. We need more people like him in this world. Let's show our support for a business we can be proud to dine at.

My destination was Super Pollo in Ridgewood, as it is the most recommended chicken spot in my comments and DMs that I have yet to hit. After 9 stops and a brisk 13 minute walk, I arrived at the promised land. I got this tingly feeling when I saw a Smart Car wrapped in Super Pollo branding. "Super Pollo" was written in bold yellow lettering and there was an animated chicken with "SP" on his chest like a superhero. I'm really not a car guy, but this is my dream whip. Legendary. I walked in and got a table for 1 like a nerd loser, but these chicken reviews tend to be a solitary practice. I feel Van Gogh. I got the half chicken and 2 sides combo ($17) and a side of maduros ($6) for the city. On the surface, this chicken looked like one of the greats. The skin was perfectly golden brown and so crispy. It crackled when I touched it with my fork. However, I got trojan-horsed a bit. The bird itself was just a bit dry. It wasn't so dry where it was killing me, but compared to the greats, it just didn't have the same tender juicy meat. The green sauce was AMAZING and made it to die for, but you must judge a chicken pre sauce. Otherwise we are just judging sauce. It was very well seasoned though and had so much flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, and it's still in my A-tier ranking for chicken spots. I'm just a rotisserie chicken snob at this point. 8.7/10. If I lived anywhere near here, I'd be coming at least 3 times a week. Nothing better after a good workout than pollo a la brasa. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

I ordered a half baked chicken with white rice and beans because I was craving good fresh chicken. What I received was extremely disappointing. The chicken was incredibly dry hard and almost impossible to bite into. This was not slightly overcooked. It was clearly old and had been sitting too long. There were several chickens still in the warmer and anyone cutting and serving it could see immediately that it was not good enough to give to a customer. By the time I got home and opened the container I was shocked. The chicken looked terrible and tasted worse. Dry tough and flavorless. The entire reason I came here was for good baked chicken and instead I was served something that should never have left the counter. When you are serving food that late you still have a responsibility to serve quality or to say it is no longer fresh. I would have preferred honesty over being given food that was clearly past its prime. Imagine having to spend $15 and then you get home to unwind and encounter this? Very disappointed and I will think twice before referring anyone.

Traditional Puerto Rican fare like mofongo, pasteles, rice w/green pigeon peas ("gandules"), octopus salad, roast pork ("pernil"), "tres leches" cake--they got it ALL, fresh, DELICIOUS and nicely priced. Even seasonal stuff like 'morcillas' (blood sausage)! Good mofongo (boiled plantains) is hard to find: ask for it w/ shrimp or pernil (roast pork) inside--huge portion is GREAT! Service at restaurant is always clean, friendly and punctual--delivery is fast and convenient as well. They cater with a huge selection of dishes. Seriously--that menu is HUGE! Caribbean food is not spicy--if you feel like something different, Flor del Paraiso is worth a try. Take the L or M to Myrtle Wyckoff or Halsey. Oh, and if you're a coffee lover, ask for their café con leche with a slice of tres leches cake or flan--some of the best Ridgewood has to offer.

Ordered 4 of the same meals, came out to $100. One had dietary restriction- no egg, no pork, no sausage. The other had an allergy restriction- no egg. The reminder orders were good. The dietary one, had egg in it!!! I had to check the allergy one before I gave it to the person for fear we would need an epiPen. Luckily but still cautious, we didn't. The dietary one couldn't eat the food though, it was given away to a homeless person. We were too far in another city by the time we released the mistake on foods, hence why I said check everything. The taste: it lacked flavor. The best thing on the plate was the Maduros (sweet plantains), avocado, and that green sauce (which they only give small containers for purchase). Would I recommend?

The spicy green sauce and garlic sauce on the table were both excellent and really tied everything together. My total came to $21.78 after tax.

My partner is Dominican and I just love the Dominican people. They're also so generous. Holy cow, I ask for a lunch platter, and they really pile on the food. I'm always wondering how they're going to close the lid, but they always manage to, lol. My favorite thing to get from there is the paticas, maduros, cod, pasta, and chicken noodle soup.
