Food is usually good. It's more Dominican slanted food but still tasty. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Not big on ambiance it it was s fairly clean. You can eat in or order it to go. read more

This has been my go to chicken spot since I started working in the Maspeth area. This is a classic rotisserie chicken restaurant where they have the ovens on display in the front. They make their chicken fresh everyday and it is juicy. I normally get a regular platter with rice, beans, and 1/4 chicken and it is a massive amount of food. They also have this delicious green sauce that enhances the flavor of the chicken and anything it goes on for that matter. The price for the amount of food you get is unbeatable. Highly recommended place read more

Great for all meals of the day. I have been here for lunch and dinner to-go. The roasted chicken , Moro de guandules (rice with peas) and potato salad (has carrots and eggs mayo seasonings) with maduros (fried sweet plantains) are my favorite. When I get home to eat it's still warm and very delicious. Two red flags are: sometimes food isn't stirred or laid out for too long it dries out and the ladies that serve have unpleasant attitudes. read more

I ordered my food to go. The server was very nice and, the food was pretty good. However, the cashier was rude. I also thought it was expensive. I ordered some maduros with oxtails (lunch special) and two medium coffee's. It came out to almost $25. ¿qué es eso? read more

Food is ok. Service is polite and friendly. I recommend the rice beans and chicken. Simple style cuisine. Delivery sucks

Best Dominican food in the area. The staff is nice. And my wife who is Dominican approves. So that's all you need to know.

Food is average. My concern is pricing. They don't have posted prices and if you ask for a menu be aware that they charge differently. Then when they give you the total they'll still overcharge you. My advice is to ask for a receipt. I was told my total was $17 then got charged $23 on my receipt which I had to ask for. I asked why the difference she said it's a surcharge for credit card use. For $17 it shouldn't be that much so I asked her to run it again and she acted shocked that it was only supposed to be a dollar or so. She gave me back almost $5 in cash. Beware of these businesses. read more

Amazing food but they forgot my soda very coolness forgot to add the rice was a little hard but other then that everything was very good.

They also have Special Orders, sandwiches & burgers, and breakfast in the morning. They also serve healthy wraps in flour tortilla and Dominican Breakfast for $7!

Nice to have this type of cuisine in the area. Variety is good and food is tasty. The service is friendly too!

Great food.. but it would be better if they stop Putting so much salt in their soups. Their chicken noodle and beef soup are so salty it's impossible to eat without chugging a gallon of water. read more

I love this place because of the food and I will continue to come here. But, this review is long overdue. Long story short, I will be contacting the rightful agencies in charge of business regulations. 1. There is no menu visible to the customer upon walk-in with prices 2. Every time I come here, I order just about the same thing/s and I get charged differently WHY DO I CONTINUOUSLY GET CHARGED A DIFFERENT PRICE? They definitely take advantage of their customers. And I would hope it is not because of my race. That is my biggest problem and I am not even mentioning the lack of sanitary precautions and how rude the employees are. Every since this place has opened, I must have eaten here over 100 times. This just shows how much I love this place and I would like to see some regulations and improvements. read more

This is some damn authentic Dominican food right in the heart of Maspeth. Usually I head to corona for my fix, but when this place showed up on yelp, I decided to give it a try. Walking in, you are greeted by a cop for the symphony of conversation and an abundant bouquet of delicious food. There was a long hot serving bar to the right with a copious amount of culinary choices. On this day, I decided to go with Chivo guisada(goat), with a side of steamed vegetables and yucca. I certainly was not disappointed. The goat was so tender I did not even use my fork, just my fingers. The Yucca was soft and lightly salted, and the steamed vegetables were a good complement to the rich meat stew. I ordered the small plate which was less than $10 and was more than enough for one hungry boy. I will definitely be going back as I am looking forward to trying the Rabo(oxtail) read more

They don't even bother to get order right. I ordered scrambled eggs and got soft fried eggs with yolk all over the food. The soup had no meat. It was ok tasting at best. Save your money. read more

Today, Bad customer service on the phone, Be careful here! because of language barrier they call you stupid in there language. She basically said to me it's my fault my order is wrong and I order the same order, the same way all the time and never had a problem. It's alwyaz that one person who ruins it. Reminder: Your a business, I'm not calling your house. They should be more pleasant and patient with there customers. P.s I canceled my order:( read more

This is a yummy place to eat. I order from here all the time for my staff and clients @amalia hair salon. Frank the delivery guy is so sweet and he always makes us laugh. read more

Literally need to start packing sauces in the bag !!! Why do you have to ask? They use to always give sauces with the meal.. like do I have to pay extra for it? So annoying ordered chicken and rice. The rice is dry as hell and no sauce. read more

The food here is really good. Delicious i would say. I have placed orders for my kids parties, christmas, new years. My entire family lives in the area and order for all occasions. However, their service really sucks on the phone. I asked for a Soup a certain way and the lady is laughing at me over the phone. I asked for ribs that i order all the time. She was making a big deal over it and hung up on me!!!!! I called back and she is telling me how i am not having a good day. Like what kind of customer service is that!!! She refused to put her manager on the phone. As much As like them i will never be ordering again. This neighborhood does not need that kind of ghetto attitude. read more

Great food and huge portion for take out. I planned to take a pic of the order but ate it before even realizing... That's great!!!! read more

AMAZINGLY tasty, home cooked Latino food at a fair price. I come here at LEAST once a week now and always will!

I was walking around with my niece and fiance looking for a place to eat. We came across this place. Wow were we happy. The food here is not only good but the price is nice too. The staff is friendly. There is a large variety of different Dominican food. We bought chicken soup seafood soup with real crab oyster and more. We also got the rotisserie chicken with white rice beans and platano maduro. The other plate is vegetable rice goat meat and pastelon. We also got a huge flan for cheap. Good portions as well. If your thinking if going go and enjoy. read more

I truly like this spot, but the food is too inconsistent. I can come on Saturday and the food is really good and then I can come another Saturday and the food is just ok. Sometimes the food is missing the heart and soul of Spanish cooking, it's just bland. Like other yelpers stated the prices are not consistent and at times are higher than they should be. There is an extra charge if you pay with your card also. The staff is always nice, but the inconsistent food and prices are turning me off. read more

Finally, a good Latin food spot in Maspeth. This place offers a buffet style service however it's not self serve. You get a choice of meat, sides and extra salad. The smaller plate is good enough for lunch, the bigger plate feeds two and priced reasonably. Food so far has been pretty good, I haven't tasted the chicken yet but have tasted the pepper steak, chicken/beef stew. All very tasty. All my orders have been to go so I cant speak for service though everyone has been friendly when I've gone. read more

I won't knock it, the food is decent. Meaning I've been to better Dominican places to eat. But it's in Maspeth where whiypepo enjoy the crap out of bland spanish food and call it delicious. I'm a Latino so i know how mom cooks and i know how spanish restaurants cook. My biggest issue with this place is the fresh quality of the food. My biggest recommendation is don't order anything after 5 pm because most of the food sits there, it loses the quality of its "fresh off the stove" flavor. I got the pernil with the rice and beans and they served me a mountain of rice...yes Everest size. And a scoop full of beans...ok...the pernil was dry and over seasoned. I've had it before and it's been amazing but maybe the time does make a difference, that's it, try at your own risk! Boom! read more

Food is so good ! I love it ! And taste healthy! The juice was really good and the breakfast.

The food is good. Real Spanish taste. Since it's open we have gone there over 20 times. Small plate of your choice rice and your choice meat eat 8-10 dollars (comes with a lot) (Old review)They only take cash. After the first few weeks the sign that says "CASH ONLY" was moved to cover the total amount displayed. Fishy? (Updated) The sign seemed to have been removed covering the total. The food is amazing. The team there serves quick and serves a lot food. It's a great addition to Grand Ave! Today ordered pernil and chicken and it tastes amazing. read more

I am so glad that this eatery opened up not too far from us. Food is so good and affordable! Best of all they serve my favorite protein "OXTAIL" and variety of fish pork chicken (rotiserrie even!) and variations of rice (peas with rice, beans with rice, veges with rice) Did I mention the service is wonderful! read more

El Pollo Real is a nice addition to Maspeth. So far my family has ordered from them as well as I and have not been disappointed once. Their plates are huge especially if you're taking a to go container. Their chicken is delicious and available most of the day. My dad has tried their fish and loved it! I would definitely recommend to give them a try. read more

Food here is pretty tasty. The only thing that sucks is that it's always the same exact items. I wish they would change it up some time. But it's good for what you're getting. read more

This place needs to be shut down by Department of Health!! MAJOR COVID 19 VIOLATIONS EVERYWHERE!!! I walked in here for lunch yesterday and a Spanish employee was coughing and sneezing all over the food. Her mask was on her chin!!!! Its a grab and go place so the food is sitting out. I walked out immediately!!! read more

Food is always delicious and not pricey-you get a great amount for what you order. The oxtail is delicious as well as the beef stew even though the beef was slightly on the dry side but still had great flavor. read more
