Order yellow rice, cheese empanada and a beef empanada along with a horchata juice. The rice was definitely old mind you i ordered the food Around 2:30pm. The beef empanada may have been the only thing that was fresh but was salty. read more

We recently ordered through Grubhub from this restaurant. The rice with pigeon peas was very good and plentiful. We also ordered 2 pounds of pernil. It was very tasty but barely sufficient for just three people. About one third of the order was inedible fat and gristle (not two pounds of meat)! The included hot and garlic sauces were beyond excellent. Consequently, I can't provide an easy recommendation. Solid B nevertheless. read more

Our company ordered from here for lunch. Colleague of mine wanted to share so we ordered a 1lb of Pernil, and a 1lb of ribs with yellow rice and Rice with Pigeon Peas. with a side of beans. The ribs was good. Has a well balance of the fatty and lean parts. The Pernil was okay once you pour the sauce on it. It was a tad on the bland side and a bit dry but overall I feel like it depends on what part of the cut you get. For the cost of this meal. I felt like you're not getting that bang for your buck. The extra cost for the little things seems a bit much but it is what it is. Really wanted to try their other options like their infamous Oxtail. Sadly that wasn't an option. read more

Ordered through Grubhub. I ordered black beans and got something different. They didn't have the fried pork I ordered so they sent me pernil without even calling to ask if I would like something else, especially since I already ordered pernil too... so I got double pernil that's just silly. The rice was overcooked and just not tasty at all. The très lèches was the saving grace along with the soursop smoothie. The smoothie arrived kind of on the runny side so I put it in the freezer for like 30 mins and it was so much better after. read more

Went to this place to order some tripe soup for me and my buddy. I also wanted to get fried pork, Chicharron, and a slice of avocado. When I paid he said the total was $30.00, sounds reasonable. I get back to the office and my order is missing the Chicharron. I called him to let him know that the order was missing, he said " Don't worry I didn't charge me". The food is ok, but the prices are ridiculous. I'm going back to El Campeon de pollo their food is great and prices are reasonable. read more

Worst tres golpes I've ever had. So disappointing because I was craving Dominican breakfast and paid $30 to have it delivered. Wet tangy mangu, overly runny eggs, really bad salami, and the cheese was ok but tasteless. Never again. read more

i ordered a mangu with salami cheese and eggs it was cold they literally threw all the food on top of eachother and it looked terrible the eggs were not cooked at all the salami was raw and the mangu taste like nothing but vinegar the cheese is supposed to be fried it was soggy and wet and they charged me 25 dollars! please save your money and go somewhere else read more

This place is near my job so I eat here often. We even catered food before. I love the fish here !! Rice is amazing , pepper steak , chicken. All the goods. Not gonna lie I wanted to try the Mac and cheese but I was scared. I have seen it white then others yellow cheese. i got Turkey wings today and I didn't like them. They looked better than they taste. They don't have a phone number so that's annoying. But the food is very fresh read more

When my husband and I feel and itch for some ox tail, pernil and some ceviche, we always stop by here. We normally get to go meals but the shop is clean, neat and quiet. We always get the rice and beans with fish or meat (usually pernil or ox tail). We always get yucca, plantain, and ceviche. The meal always hits the right spot!! I cannot recommend this place enough. It us the best in the area. I also love the Tamarindo, sesame seed and passion fruit juices! Their service is great. Quick and efficient. They also take the time to explain what's in the dish when we don't know. read more

Don't go there!! Rice and peas never fresh. they mix old food with new food. about 5 years this was the place to eat. Now its the worst experienc. read more

Not necessarily the place for fine cuisine, I generally order from them when I don't want to pay the extra delivery fee with the Apps. They take cash so I don't have to use a credit or debit card. Not always pleased with the fare but it's food - so when last night's delivery turned out to be not fresh - yesterday's food I was doubly disappointed. Restauranteurs need to understand that it makes more sense to put your best foot forward at all times than to collect a quick buck on food that should not have gone out the door. read more

4/16/17 I've become a regular since my first visit a few years back. Breakfast sandwiches are the best. My favorite, Egg White, Bacon & Cheese on a Kaiser roll sustains you the whole day! With a café con leche. They have other Breakfast combinations. The Roasted chicken, really flavorful and moist. Chicharrones(Pork & Chicken)s, Pernil, Stir Fried Meat, Fish, Ox Tail. Vegetables and salads& Soups, Beans compliment the menu. Everything is delicious. I have not a bad meal there yet. Fruit juices, the Mango is addictive. The staff is friendly and very efficient. It's mostly a take out place with several in tables that you can seat and enjoy a meal. read more

This is one of my favorite Spanish restaurants however today I was beyond furious with the way that the driver spoke to me on 1/24/16 at 1:04pm. I waited over two hours to receive my delivery. I wasn't the least bit surprised with their turn around time because I know that good food shouldn't be rushed. Besides I'm used to their crazy delivery times. I placed my delivery at 11:13am and called back to check how long it'll take at 12:45pm. I was told it's on the way. At 1:04pm I received a phone call that my food is outside. I told him exactly where I was and that I'm not coming outside to pick up my food when I specifically asked for the "delivery" option. The guy goes off on me. He says, "There's snow everywhere. I understand you're inside, but you'll have to come get your food. We all have to get along and work together." My one and only response was, "Why do you have an attitude?!" He claims he didn't have one. I hung up on him, got dressed, wrapped my wet hair in a towel and went outside. At this point I'm ready to confront the delivery guy and speak my peace. I'm sure the little boy that was standing awkwardly with my food in his hand was afraid I was going to go off. To say I am vexed is an understatement. I asked him what was the attitude about? He said it wasn't him but it was his father. I asked him what snow was in the way that he couldn't come around the corner approximately less than a foot to bring me my food. He said they're not obligated to go to the door. I simply told him that's a lie and what would be the point in delivering my food if I have to come outside?! As you all may know, there was no tip given besides telling him that his father needs to man up and handle his own dirty work. I also called and spoke to the manager to complain about that low life. From 4 stars to 1, what a damn shame!!! read more

Castillo De Pollo translated in English means Castle of Chicken. Delicious meals are prepared for The Queen of Queens here. A fellow Yelper highly recommended Castillo and this has been my go to for delivery dining in the Jamaica area. The quality of the Food at Castillo is great for the cost. For $18 I ordered the boneless fried chicken (chicharrones de Pollo sin huesos), Rice and beans, avocado salad and Empanadas. For the family size quantity you receive(feeds 5), the quality is unmatched. I really appreciate that they do not drown their food in salt or Sazon. Everything is flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The Empanadas are standard and could benefit from some extra seasoning. They offer seasoned chicken and beef with onions and peppers for taste. This is not Mama's Empanadas but you can expect a crisp, moist and tasty empanada. The Boneless fried chicken is delicious. Also simply seasoned and not greasy. The Avocado salad is a staple to finish off your meal. The Delivery and customer service here can be hit or miss. The estimated time of delivery can reach up to about 1 Hour and 15 minutes. Atleast that reassures me my food is hot and freshly prepped. The delivery men may not speak clear English so...have a Spanish dictionary available or step up your Rosetta Stone game. read more

Delicious. Good portions.. I'm one person + made two separate meals out of it. I ordered pernil, white rice, and beans. My most favorite meal ever, but when I went inside I had to order the onions separate because I couldn't find it on the app menu. read more

I will never order from this place again. I called because I was missing an order of french toast, the proceeded to argue with me about it. The Manager or cook was in the background yelling about me not ordering the item when I had the receipt with the item listed on it. Save yourself the headache. read more

This is not the first time I get a bad order from this restaurant since it has the new owner. I ordered a sancocho with a lemon on the side and white rice. I received the soup and the rice no lemon so that's one. Second the soup taste old just as the meat and the rice was also tasting as if it was left over night. My husband ordered oven chicken with French fries, the French fries were under cooked and the chicken had no taste at all I'm guessing is old also, so we basically paid to throw food out. So disappointed. And like I said this is not the first time it has happened. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Don't recommend!! Should try other restaurant. read more

I ordered chicken empanadas & when i tell you there was literally no meat on the empanadas! Disrespectful I won't waste my time smh. I mean literally not a crumb it was something inside that looked like cheese but that's it . Yes i was so disappointed so i called it in & they did not give me a refund or showed no sympathy when i came all the way back there from already being on my way home. Well that was expected because Even over the phone they seem to act like they were unaware of what i was talking about. I mean I understand things are hard now due to the virus and the time of place we all are in now especially, but the way they went about this was awful & inconsiderate. Considering I am I usual customer. read more

I worked around the area so I've been coming here for lunch as often as possible. Even though I don't work around here anymore I still end up here to get food. The food here is amazing! It's my "go to" for Spanish style meals. There is a nice variety of food from rice, beans, chicken, fish, prom, beef and salads + much much more. It is allllll so tasty! Prices: I've been here when a lunch size container was 5$. This would include rice, beans and chicken. However, it has increased to 7$. You still get a good amount of food in the container for what you pay for. Like I said, I come here a lot. With that being said, I've had negative experiences with one particular lady who sometimes handles the food and cashier. At those times I received a (very) bad attitude when I was only trying to get the order right and made sure they've packed what I ordered- I sometimes get food for other people also so I wanted to make sure it was all there. I wouldn't complain but she didn't try to hide it or anything and clearly I felt a way. Your food is great but customer service is also a must. Would've gave 5 stars but knocked one for that attitude! Sorry Regardless, highly recommend for some quality delicious Spanish style meals! Check it out. read more

A great Latin/American take-out restaurant with a handful of tables inside; yes, I meant Latin/American not Latin-American. This restaurant serves a mix of Latin dishes and American one's like Macaroni and Cheese. I opted for a plate with paella and avocado salad. Both were fresh and extremely flavorful. The avocado salad had tomatoes, peppers, onions, and some nice lime juice which made for a nice natural dressing once tossed. The paella was delicious! It was super flavorful and paired nicely with the avocado salad. I would absolutely recommend el Castillo for takeout! read more

Had a quick trip to NY, stayed near JFK and ordered breakfast to my hotel, breakfast was timely and still hot, got pancakes, eggs and beef sausage all was very good.... 3 Pancakes were huge! Very nice place for a quick breakfast, only downside was their phone was not working, so I had to order online and it's a little scary when you don't have a person taking your order, but they got it correct. read more

LMFAO I Thought my review was gonna be gone BUT it's here so goes . I guess it's meant for this review to GO UP ...

Thanks for showing customer service and for NOT giving me the proper utensils to enjoy this meal .... 0 stars if I. Could the food wasn't properly PUT TOGETHER , ... read more

First time my husband and I ordered. Amazing! The chicken was so tender and the rice and beans so so much flavor. Even the packing deserves a good review.Our new go to spot for Spanish food. read more

The most delicious Spanish food you can ever find in south Ozone. I frequently visit 2-3 times a week. Try the oxtail (which sells out fast) or the rotisserie chicken (succulent, flavorful, and juicy) read more

First time having Spanish food. I wanted to try some new flavors while i was at. The person who take the phones orders were pleasant. When i saw the menu mentioned serves two people i wasn't a believer until i got my food. The delivery guy very friendly and always prompt. I ordered boneless chicken in garlic sauce with yellow rice. The sauce was amazing. Literally felt like drinking the sauce. The portions were so huge that i could feed 3/4 people to be exact. My co worker order the shrimp fried rice which was a dish it self. Well worth the money. If you a seafood lover don't forget to give the shrimp in garlic sauce a try. Promise you wouldn't be disappointed! read more

El Castillo Del Pollo - That's exactly how they serve their lunch and diners. Unbelievable. And my chicken meal was the exact same way. One piece. A bunch of rice. - New American Near Me - Queens, New York

Garbage, this restaurant is a rip off , from the original. Food is is stale and hard.

I have ordered their chicken often. When it was delivered you can tell it was cooked earlier in the day or the day before. This is the first time it happened, but I'll try once more. If it happens again, I'll be glad to share it! So very disappointed, read more

I don't usually post however I felt compelled to do so. The food here is truly authentic Dominican food. It's fresh and uses fresh ingredients! I finally found my spot!!!! read more

I have eaten here a few times I mostly order delivery. Today I enjoyed my favorite Dominican breakfast. I ordered Mangú(mashed plantain) which is served with fried egg and fried cheese & your choice of bacon, sausage, or salami. Of course I had the fried salami. The mangú taste amazing it is topped with purple sautéed onions that gives it kick. Everything else this meal is served with comes together to make it the perfect fulfilling breakfast. You won't be able to finish it all in one setting. This breakfast is worth the whole $8.00 which is a pretty good price for me and you can definitely divide this breakfast between two people (preferably females lol) guys may have a bigger appetite. read more

I have ordered twice from this restaurant. I had the fried chicken (bone in) with rice beans and salad the first time. Chicken was little salty but rice and beans were good. I ordered a second time and it was horrible! I had the boneless fried chicken, yellow rice and beans. The beans and chicken were way too salty and the rice was hard! This meal was totally inedible and wound up in the trash. I'm sure the restaurant just had a bad day based on all the good reviews but I won't be ordering again. read more

The food here is excellent! Such delicious, good quality food for next to nothing. Their delivery is quick and friendly. The restaurant itself is tiny with a couple tables inside- not a sit down for dinner kind of place; more of an order in for dinner kind of place. Their tea and coffee are always made exactly how you want it. They're close to my house, so always a tasty option when I don't want to cook. Yum!!!! read more

I had my fair share of Dominican food around the area and Brooklyn . But this place is hands down my fav Dominican spot . EVERYTHING is well seasoned and they have a variety of stuff for everyone. My fav is the oxtail and mangu. My friend loves the fish and avocado salad. Everything is fresh and affordable. You know oxtail is made with a lot bone, they are sure to give you servings with lots of meat! The staff is friendly too and fast. read more

The avocado salad is AMAZING and the maduros (sweet plantains) would satisfy me for the rest of my life!!!!! I thought this would be dinner for tonight but it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO much food it'll last me tomorrow too! (Except the salad and maduros...they didn't have a chance to last past the night). This place was recommended by the hotel staff and I'm soooo glad he did. I'll be back! Thank you so much! Tapping into my inner Dominican Pollo sin hueso.
