I have been coming to El Rey 2 Restaurant for the longest. Authentic excellent, Spanish meals. Their lunch special is always great. I mostly get the family combo whenever I'm hosting an event and don't feel like cooking. Food quality is fresh and delicious. Service is always great. They have a various amount of seating tables. They also serves drinks and dessert. Overall highly recommend read more

Very good authentic Dominican food. There's so many options to choose from and most food is already prepped behind the counter. This place is always busy. So if you're craving some real Dominican food then this is the spot to get it. read more

Costumer service was terrible tonight. Came in at 8:00pm, it was 8:40pm my food was not delivered the table next to me that got there at around 8:20 got there food before me. I got up to explain all I wanted to pay for was the drinks, and got an extremely terrible attitude from the waitresses and the owner, not a sorry for late service. Will not be going back there again. And I've also seen rats in front of there establishment and homeless people begging and sleeping at the front door. Shameful honestly. read more

The first time was excellent, whereas the second was extremely disappointing. Service was careless and most of the things served out wrong or cold. Won't be returning. read more

Want some delicious Dominican food? Then you have to try out El Rey II. It's located on city line, Liberty Ave. I came here after a nail salon date with my friend and the food was delicious!! I came here several times for take out but this was my first dinning in experience. I got the churrasco steak with a side of salad and white rice and beans. My daughter got an order of sweet plantains and my friend got a Pernil mofongo with rice and beans as a side. We all enjoyed our meal. The steak was very flavorful and tender- so delicious!! The plantains were cooked to perfection and the mofongo made my friend want to move to DR! She also got a morir sonando which she loved! The service was pretty good. I didn't catch the servers name as she didn't introduce herself but she was nice and attentive to our table. It was loud inside as others around us were drinking and hanging out. We didn't mind though, we were happy they were enjoying their lives. They used to have a outdoor dinning area but I noticed they got rid of it. Parking in the area is pretty terrible so I'm assuming that may have had something to do with it. I would come and dine in once again. read more

Service and Quality of food. Service personnel always courteous and helpful with the menu. Parking is scarce in area

An ENY staple. Definitely recommend EL Rey II if you're in the area and are looking for a place to sit down and eat.

Been coming here for a few years now. I love this place. Their drinks alcohol/nonalcoholic are delicious. Food is even better. Food is fresh. Always pack, the wait is worth it. Indoor n outdoor eating available. Friendly staff, great owner/manager as well. They help the community with sponsorship and help others in need. One of my favorite Spanish restaurants. (Street parking). Reasonable prices. Favorite dishes: Passion fruit milkshake, their ribs, steaks in sauce, chicken chunks with sweet plantain and much more. read more

I called this evening to place an order for delivery. The person that answered couldn't speak English, so she hung up. I called back several times, and each time that I stated that I wanted to place an order for delivery, she hung up. If the employees aren't bilingual, then they shouldn't be answering the phone. Your business is in a diverse community, so your employees need to be able to communicate with non Spanish speaking customers as well. I will share with others in the neighborhood that your employees don't care to do business with English speaking customers. read more

Pretty decent. Neighborhood spot so you see regulars. Always busy but manager makes sure service is good. Food is delish and prices are great. Only thing I don't like is seating at front because it's so busy. If you eat there sit in the back. Also please be more selective because there was a vagrant there and it was unnerving trying to eat. read more

I heard about the food so I decided to do some take out. It's your typical Dominican restaurant when you walk in. Screen shows you the rice, beans, meats. However they have a fully loaded menu (tacos, seafood, etc) you'll have to order that towards the register because there made fresh for you. I noticed if you dine in you'll be able to order alcohol beverages which is super cool. I will definitely come back and sit in to try their drinks. My dad liked the fried pork rice and beans that I got him. I ordered a fried snapper and I got this big platter with a nice size fish. I was impressed by the presentation. I want to try their deserts next time as well. For my two meals of friends pork, rice, beans and my single fried snapper my bill came up to $49 which is not bad at all. read more

I ordered 8 BBQ ribs on the phone with Jhaendy and picked up the order. When I get home it's plain ribs with a cup of BBQ sauce on the side which isn't even enough for 8 pieces of ribs. I called and asked why they sent ribs like this and the ladies who answer the phone told me to put my own sauce. Very bad attitude. I told her I've ordered BBQ ribs many times and it was never sent to me like this. She said well thats too bad that's how they did it. She passed the phone to jhaendy and she told me that's how it is and that's it. Seriously this place is getting worst every day read more

Food quality has gone down. Made a delivery order that was promised in 45min and an hour and half later was still waiting with no Good excuse (my guess is that they forgot) the fried shrimp and rice and plátanos were all disappointing and left a lot to be desired. Not sure what's a happened but food quality has definitely suffered. read more

All I can say is the best Spanish food in the neighborhood! Delivery service is exceptional. A definite weekly order in our house.

The reason I was in here today I sat myself down it took a minute to realize I was sitting, then worse when I ask for a soda she forgot all me. Literally had me sitting for a bit, I literally had to look at her n stare at her to serve me. El Rey good food but lousy service literally. They need to train their waitresses, still forgot my order smh Then after I was finished I had to wait 15 mins for them to give me a check to pay n I had to ask for it. If you go there don't expect the best service from the waitresses at all Now when I go there it's only take out smh Oh yeah I tipped her a dollar, even that was too much... read more

My friend is a big fan of this restaurant located in south ozone park. It's spacious, there's hot food to take out right up front and seating and menus for those willing to stay. It's definitely your typical comfort food if I must say. Dominican Cuisine like someone grandma made it. Service is not bad, not the most professional and that's okay because this is you neighborhood low key local restaurant. My favorite has got to be the mofongo sliders, you get three on a plate & they are pretty good. The rotisserie chicken is so so, a bit on the dry side. The yellow rice and beans are on point always. Their salad is very fresh always. The skirt steak was decent, so was the grilled shrimp. The fact that they stay open till 2 am is a plus! My friend swears by their oxtail and I believe it's excellent as it was sold out all 4 times we went to this restaurant. Check them out. Oh and dress down ! read more

They blacked out ALL their prices on the menu so I ate here again today instead of just using the bathroom. For some reason their prices change without notice due to Covid. But at least I wasn't grossly overcharged because the price on the menu didn't match the price on my check. Had a good meal with good service. And asked the price on every single thing I ordered. read more

Update to my review, years later. The food here is amazingly flavorful. Really good soups, rice, the rotisserie chicken!!! Very affordable food. Overall Service is good, If you can pretend to speak Spanish. read more

This is a great little place to buy delicious food, very flavorful. I would go here again. I used to go here years ago when I worked in Brooklyn and rediscovered them earlier this year while visiting friends in the borough. Great food and they deliver. read more

The food is delicious. I was there with my mom yesterday 2/8/20 the place Was NOT full but we had to wait a while. We ate and when we were about to pay I saw my bill. Gratuity was automatically added, and a service fee as well. I questioned it. We were a party of 2, not 6 plus. That's the legal TERMS in order to automatically add tip! It's also law NOT to tax the gratuity, which they did. Apparently they charge u svs fee bc u are using your debit card. No where in the restaurant does it state this. So be aware!!! They'll hike up your bill if you don't question it. I got them to take the gratuity off, but they insisted on the svc fee. SMH, I won't be dining there again! read more

So disappointing to have spent 60.00 on food from here and get sour rice which spoiled all of our appetites

Good food. Bad service. Requested hot food- received cold food. As if it was brought out cold on purpose. Waitress was arrogant. Was very defensive about what chimichurri sauce was. And lastly, price of food doesn't reflect the real price. Will not be going back till service changes. read more

Man oh man has this place fallen off. I've been going to this place for 15 yrs. the food used to be soo good now it's cold every time you receive it, it doesn't taste good anymore. The service is absolutely horrific how they speak and treat you. And they charge you what ever the hell they want. I can order the same thing consecutively and get charged a different price each time and if you question that they become down right hostile. read more

I ordered their T-bone steak which usually come with a side of rice and beans but I substituted it with mashed potatoes with gravy. The food came out pretty fast. They are always packed so should expect to wait before getting seated. Although I asked for a medium rare temperature they made it well done. The steak was well seasoned with full of flavor. The steak was big portion and the side was plentiful too. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience and would go there again to try out their other tasty dishes! read more

Worst customer service in the world. Called to place a order for delivery at 3:05 called again at 5 wondering where the food was at and to come and find out they never placed the order and tried to place it again when I had called in. It's such a shame that a place with great potential is run by horrible customer service. read more

Food and service has gone down tremendously. Lived in the area for almost my whole life. Always something wrong with the order and prices increase aren't justified read more

Came to order here on a Sunday and the place busy. I asked for the menù since, my order was to go and I wanted it freshly made. I ordered a few plates including the Crab Meat Mofongo, chicharron de pollo. I waited for my order and them I was given my cc receipt to sign which was ready to do so when my wife stopped me and, demanded an itemized bill. Going over it, we discovered why not providing an itemized bill in the first place. We were overcharged for the Mofongo and when questioned, the moron working at the register simply replied that that was what the computer said. When confronted with the actual menu and a totally different and way lowe price, he simply replied that he could show us on their payment management that the price was $16.95 and not the falsely advertised menu price of $11.95. I told him that they are ib the business to trick and fool people out of their hard earned cash and he did not even showed any concern or anything else to a point that we told him he was "Robando" to whomever ordered here. I waited a few weeks to see if, he was smart enough and re adjust the bill.m and he did not. I understand that, this is not a restaurant for a repeat visit for anyone due to their food being so bland and, the tremendous lack of hospitality. "I'm simply judging based on my own experience and have not read any other reviews." Beware when getting a simple receipt that only shows what the total is. Demand an itemized copy and thank me l8er. read more

Every time that I come to this restaurant, I leave pleased and happy. I love to dine here when I'm in the mood for Spanish food. You can either dine in, order takeout or stay home and place an order for delivery BUT delivery is only for the surrounding neighborhood. Whatever choice you make, you will be pleased. There's a jukebox that has lots of musical selections that you can choose from. Each time that I order food, it doesn't matter what I chose to eat I'm never disappointed with the quality of the food. I love their consistency, the food ALWAYS is good. If you are looking for GREAT restaurant with GREAT food and GREAT service, then your search is over. Get over to EL REY and give your belly a treat. read more

If your looking for Dominican food in East New York Brooklyn/south queens look no further than El Rey. Ive been coming here ever since they opened over 10 years ago and everyone in the neighborhood knows where to go if they want good authentic Dominican food. They carry the full gamut starting from Mangu Pastelitos to Pernil to Rotiserrie Chicken to Jugo de Chinola to Flan. Cant name one specialty because everything sells well but you cant go wrong with the Grilled steak w onions with rice and beans. They have a full bar with every Wine and Spirits you can think of on the menu, I always get a nice Red Wine with my meal They always like to decorate around the holiday season so its nice to stop by and see it. They make you feel as if you are in an authentic restaurant in the Dominican Republic. They have locations throughout the Brooklyn and Queens Boroughs. read more
