    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.

    Best everything, They have the best mac and cheese they also have oxtail which is sooo good with the empanada and hot sauce , they also have maridin juice and everything which is so good

    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

    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.

    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!!!

    Empanadas carne, chicharrones Pollo sin huesos, ensalada avocado

    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.

    This is crazy.. roaches present and the food not on correct temperature
    Ravinesh J.

    I been eating here so long and I find out there is roaches and mice there and also the food not correct temperature.. this is crazy I'm not ever going back there until they fix the problems because I live their food

    Gross

    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.

    This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

    Well, at least business was "Blooming" due to Mother's Day reservations…read more All jokes aside, I visited this restaurant yesterday for a Mother's Day brunch with a group of eight others. Our reservation had been confirmed the day before by both our host and the restaurant. When I arrived early, I was surprised to find the place jam-packed and clearly overcrowded. The front-of-house staff, along with the presumed owner, seemed overwhelmed and initially could not locate our 12:00 reservation. There were also guests with 11:30 and later reservations that were still waiting to be seated, along with several other groups scheduled around our time. After waiting nearly 50 minutes, talking with others who were also waiting, and watching two other tables be hastily set up and filled, we were finally seated. The table had been quickly wiped down and set with placemats, but it was missing silverware and several glasses. Most of this was resolved fairly quickly, though two people still never received glasses, with one person asking a few times for one. Our clearly overworked waitress brought us water and eventually took our order after a shorter additional wait. I ordered a $6 cappuccino, which was enjoyable, with a moderate amount of foam and a pleasantly bitter flavor without tasting over-roasted. However, another person's $4.50 iced coffee did not seem worth the price, as it appeared to be no more than a 12-ounce glass and was mostly filled with ice. Outside of coffee, the staff was understandably slow with water, with long waits, and we finally got a pitcher near the end of the meal. For my meal, I chose the $16 Poached Browns, which included two poached eggs, pulled pork, an English muffin, hollandaise sauce, and their Bloom hash. Many minutes later, and I mean many, the eggs were properly poached and were the highlight of the dish. The pulled pork, served without any additional sauce, was dry, and the small amount of hollandaise did little to help. The hash on the side lacked crispiness and vegetables, aside from what might have been a tiny piece of chopped yellow pepper. Overall, it was below average but passable. Two others ordered the Make Your Own Omelette for $19, which comes with a choice of three ingredients, the same hash, and bacon. They made two specific requests, both of which our waitress confirmed: first, that they did not want bacon, and second, that they could substitute fries for the hash--regular fries for one person and sweet potato fries for the other. Despite this, both plates arrived with bacon, as you can see in my first photo, where one of them transferred her bacon to my plate. The other person sent her plate back and ended up receiving her Mother's Day meal well after everyone else. The omelette also looked a bit more like a frittata, which I didn't mind. After waiting a while, including finally getting pitchers of water, we finally left after a long and annoying bunch. If this spot indeed had reservation issues, why on earth were they still allowing walk-ins? Why did they tell people it would take 15-20 minutes to seat when it would clearly take 30+? This entire experience was inept from beginning to end. The food this time is closer to a 2, but our experience as a whole was closer to a 1. I would never go back.
