I got the chicharrones with rice and beans and potato salad (comes with half an avocado). Every aspect of the meal was delicious. The pork was perfectly crispy, the rice was soft and delicious. The beans also paired perfectly with the rice. The staff was also super sweet and friendly. I would definitely come back for more and for breakfast. I saw a lot of New York breakfast friendly options on the menu for a very reasonable price. They take cash, credit card, and apple pay!

If you're looking for Dominican food around Elmhurst, honestly Queens in general...this is 100% the…read morespot!! And I'm saying that as a Dominican with a Dominican grandfather who cooks just like this. I have NEVER been able to find a place that makes rice the way my grandpa does. Like that real, home-cooked Dominican rice that actually tastes like something. And of course I don't always want to bother him when I'm in the mood for good Dominican food... so I'm genuinely so happy I found this place. Ordering was super easy and pickup was quick. Prices are also really good for the amount of food you get. And everything I've tried has been delicious. The beans though... oh my God. I'm still thinking about the beans. For the amount of food you get for the price, it's amazing! I can't wait to keep ordering from here, and I'm honestly already thinking about placing larger orders for events in the future. If there's one local business in Queens you should support, it's this one. Hands down one of the best Dominican spots!

The place is a hole in the wall but has such good food. We ordered carnitas with yuca and another order with French fries for the kids. The carnitas is super crunchy and tasty with lime on top. The yuca was also very crispy and paired well with the pork. I definitely want to go back to try other items on their menu.

La Cabaña Antojitos Dominicanos is one of the best Dominican food spots in the Corona neighborhood…read more We've been coming here for a long time, and the quality is always solid. The chicharrones de cerdo and chicharrones de pollo are honestly some of the best around -- super crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The taste is excellent every time. The prices are definitely a little higher compared to other places, and the portions aren't the biggest, but the flavor makes it worth it. We usually dine in and also order takeout, and the experience is always good. The place is clean, service is friendly, and they move fast. The only downside is the parking -- it's tough in this area, especially during busy hours. But even with the parking situation, this spot is still absolutely worth the visit for great Dominican comfort food.

I had seafood soup, rice, some kind of beef thing, and a flan. The soup had a little bit of spice heat, not too much. Very rich broth. If there were any menus or prices or anything in the restaurant I couldn't find them, but it's all good. It's a little pricey for a guy from Mississippi but probably priced about right for New York City.

The food was really good. I tried the breaded pork loin, cazuela de frijoles and steak topped with mushroom sauce. Everything was really great and the portions were very generous. Be cautious because they charge the gratuity automatically on the bill even for small groups. I don't mind this but if you aren't paying attention you could be over tipping.

Everything about this restaurant was incredible! I dined here with my boyfriend on a Friday night…read more The appetizer tostones con guacamole y chicharron was delicious. We also ordered a refajo (It's a traditional Colombian cocktail made with beer and "Colombiana", which is a soda from Colombia. It is a very simple and quick recipe but refreshing) I wanted to try their chicken and boy oh boy their chicken was so flavorful. I definitely recommend their roasted chicken. My boyfriend and I shared the bandeja paisa which is a typical Colombian dish. It was so filling; everything on that plate tasted good. I really liked the beans and the chicharron; the chicharron wasn't hard to chew which I have experienced before at other Colombian restaurants. It was a lively restaurant experience, there were a good amount of tables filled up and as our main entree arrived I realized it was because the Colombian soccer team had a game going on at the time I was dining at the restaurant. Great restaurant to watch a soccer game over some yummy food. The service from the staff was friendly and the ambiance was top notch. The restaurant went wild when the Colombian soccer team scored. All in all, this is an amazing restaurant. 10/10 experience and restaurant recommendation

I always had a great experience here so I knew I could trust them to cater such a significant event. First, Kathy, who I exchanged multiples emails with, was always very quick and informative whenever I had any questions. She let me come by the day before to drop off the party decor and other belongings which helped a lot. The two servers/bartenders, whose names I forgot to get, were the absolute sweetest and very efficient throughout the whole event. All the guests complimented the food and left with a full stomach. 100% recommend this establishment for a date night, girls night out or a private event!

Started off with the Pupusas De Pollo con Queso and I immediately understood why people fight over these things like it's the last bench at the gym. Thick handmade tortilla, seasoned chicken, melted cheese, pickled slaw, tomato sauce... simple setup, heavyweight flavor. Then the empanadas arrived looking innocent. Big mistake. These yellow plantain pockets stuffed with steak stew were so flavorful I almost started acting emotional in public. Sweet plantain outside, rich savory filling inside... elite combo. For the main event, I ordered the fritanga platter because apparently I enjoy eating like a retired heavyweight champion. Crispy pork belly, sausages, yuca fries, fried plantains, potato slices, and green arepas all piled together like a beautiful cholesterol Avengers team-up. Every bite felt like my cardiologist was slowly shaking his head somewhere in the distance. Worth it. Washed everything down with a Batido de Plátano -- creamy banana shake blended with milk and vanilla ice cream. Basically dessert pretending to be a beverage. No complaints from me. And because self-control left the building hours earlier, I finished with Quesadilla Cheese Bread from Raul's Baked Goods and the Pan Tostado cookies from La Exquisitas Bakery. Pineapple jelly inside those cookies? Dangerous behavior. Queens really be out here feeding people like they're preparing them for battle. El Vicentino ambiance didn't just give me dinner... they gave me a full-contact eating experience. If you leave hungry, that's honestly a personal decision.

The menu features a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes and cocktails, with an emphasis on bold flavors and traditional ingredients. I ordered the beef tacos, which came as three generously filled tacos. They were very tasty, well-seasoned, and satisfying, with flavorful meat that paired perfectly with the toppings. The portion size was filling and great for the price. If you dine in, they also provide free tortilla chips, which is a nice bonus while waiting for your food. Service can vary depending on how busy it is, but staff are generally friendly and accommodating. Overall, Las Perlas is a solid choice if you're looking for a fun environment, good portions, and tasty Mexican food. The beef tacos are definitely worth ordering.

I asked for no onion and no cheese and they still put it.

Flaky with guava paste and cheese as the filling, it also has a sugar glaze on top. Wow, their bunuelos, corn patties and pan de bono are excellent! The dough part of these three types of baked goods is just right. I also tried the wheat bun with a little bit of guava in it. Nice bakery for a pick me up if you are up for trying Latino bakery items. Even with their limited English, the staff are helpful and provided good customer service. There are also savory dishes besides Latin baked goods if that is what you are looking for. Haven't tried the savory food, but the soup looks interesting. Maybe next time when I happen to be in Flushing again!

The atmosphere is bare bones. We ordered two oxtail lunch plates. The flavor was really good! The moro is standard moro, rice with black beans mixed in. Moro was moist and not dry. Both plates were huge. We got the lunch special for $9 per plate. What a bargain! Oxtail is usually expensive but the lunch price is extremely fair for the portion we got. Two lunches can feed 4-5 people. I guess it depends on their appetite too. If you split it with other there will be plenty of rice but the meat may not be enough but that is normal anywhere. The lady was pretty nice to me but I understand the food and what it is from sight. I love Dominican food. If you are not familiar with Dominican food, communication might be a problema.
