Bread No Good

Bread was molded just wanna make sure they don't sell to anyone else. Otherwise food is delicious.

already ate half of it! rice and beans with pork and plantains

Good simple food, not that expensive either. They fill the container to the top so you're really getting your moneys worth.

The burned crap Espinal Deli just delivered... Sweet plaintains by the way

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY nightmare - Im gonna start off saying very good food but when it comes to delivery these ppl have failed miserably quite a few times i use to be a regular until i started placing orders AND NO ONE SHOWS UP id call an hr later asking where is my order a different person would pick up and has no clue about my delivery try to make a new order then said forget it ..that may not show up either... this has happnd a number of times bcuz i tried to give them a chance til i just found another spanish spot. Just pick up and save yourself the stress food is very good.

Don't be fooled by the small packaging! I struggled trying to finish it! It was soo delicious!

Cool people there :) food was E-MAZING! I went to get breakfast and the other food that they had looks really good too. Price was just as good! Feel like I got a lot for a little :)

Beef stew on top of beans and rice. $7

Espinal is a great local Bed Stuy eatery. The food is served deli style and almost always fresh. $7 for a giant plate of rice and a meat topping of choice, which changes daily. But my favorite is the beef stew. Knocking one star because some of the meat toppings are a bit weird for my taste, it can sometimes be a gamble so I stick to what I know. It's also just a typical NYC mini mart with beer, drinks and snacks. If you live in the area you owe yourself to try it, and show up early sometimes the good stuff runs out.

Best Hispanic food around!! Let me just say sometimes Hispanic food is overrated or even not even worth reviewing... But let me just say this place has good food!! Great price! I had white rice, black beans (I don't like black beans but that's all they had and I don't regret it) and roasted pork (pernil) it is really good!!! The porn is tender and soft!! Yum

Chicken and Ribs with yellow rice

See all

Food is bad. No real cook. She quit... They raised the prices and made the plates smaller... Loosing customers fast.

The cook is very rude but he can cook really good. I expect a smile when you are making my food.

I finally made it here to try any one of their legendary subs and sandwiches!…read more The deli is super old Skool Italian, cash only in a street not easy to get to without a car or taking the bus. But boy it is super worth it if you make the effort! The counter service is excellent and you place your order and wait for deliciousness! There are not many seats except for a few tables out back and a stand up counter to eat your sandwich so fyi! I ordered the Golden Boy Special ( Chicken Cutlet , Vodka Sauce , peppers , mozzarella and prosciutto) it was absolutely superb and the bread it was just incredible! My son and I shared a large plenty of Sandwich for two - and we got homemade meatballs to go ( 4 to be exact) - total bill $30 cash ! I wlll definitely be back to try a different sandwich but until then will remember how delicious this one was !

I had such high expectations of this place but sadly I was pretty disappointed with the food. I…read morefirst heard of this place featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives, the place looked super old school and a classic sandwich shop, more recently I heard of this place from George Motz talking about the roast pork sandwich. I went with two friends so were able to try three different sandwiches and to be honest, they were all just alright. The food: Roast Pork Special- Fried Eggplant, Provolone, Broccoli Rob- The texture of the pork came off a bit dry, the eggplant was good but kinda gets lost in the sandwich so if I literally had it on it's own I would have appreciated it more but who eats fried eggplant by itself? The rob was nice it added a nice crunch but didn't offer that much flavor. Giuseppe Special- Eggplant parm, meatballs, melted mozzarella. I couldn't get over how soggy the bread was. It was like wet paper towel to me. Soggy bread and everything kinda tasting the same made it underwhelming. Nicky Special- It just tasted like salad in between bread. There was so much veg, that was the main thing I remember in that sandwich.
