    Fried Sweet Plantains
    Richard A.

    Rotisserie chicken is always on point. But if you order tostones tell them to make fresh ones because they love to refry old ones.

    Never in my life have I seen such horribly fried chicken. I ordered here today for the first time and I was served refried chicken that was EXTREMELY SALTY and OLD and CHEWY. I literally could not believe it. You can tell they refried it and threw salt on it at the end to give it some razzle dazzle. Because of the taste and how dark the skin is you can tell the oil IS OLD. I ordered from Uber eats and the app did warn me that they were closing soon. BUT DAMN IF THEY DIDNT WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING FRESH JUST CANCEL THE ORDER. DONT SERVE THIS CRAP. The chicken size is also not natural. I thought I was being served turkey wings and thighs. Plus the color of the meat was just weird. Very similar to a dark pink. ALSO THERES RANDOM BURNT CRAP IN MY FRIES??! AND THE FLAN WAS A CAKEY MESS. Do not buy food from here.

    Only going to review the rotisserie chicken. We ordered two to go, cut up and with mojo. My goodness it was so tender and perfectly seasoned. We had a party and everyone enjoyed pieces of the chicken. The skin, which I do not normally eat, was so good. Highly recommend, next party, order the chicken cut up and ready to serve. Your guests will thank you.

    I've been eating at Johns friend chicken since i was a kid. First location in Washington Heights back in the 80's (183rd Street and St Nicholas Ave) and when that Place closed down, we would go up to Post Ave, and subsequently, other locations throughout the Heights. I recently found this place and decided to give it a try. Big mistake, for starters the fried chicken was so salty that it was unbearable to eat. I asked for salad instead of French fries, (i figured the chicken was oily enough, that i didn't want more fried stuff) and she told me that there would be a slight up charge, which i didn't mind. When all was said and done, i was charged almost $10 for this meal. The lady before me bought 3pcs with arroz con guandules and red beans and was charged less than $5. When i asked why it was so expensive compared to the person in front of me, i was told that "steamed Vegetables cost more". Look at the pictures, there's one piece of uncooked broccoli and chopped up carrots, cabbage, string beans, and corn, with oil and vinegar dressing. Far from steamed vegetables. Serves me right for trying to do the right thing by my people. See pictures. As i do with every local business, i wish them well but won't patronize them again.

    Wow! I haven't had such awful food in the very long time. Food came in luke warm, driver was too dumb to even find the right building, that's last time I'm using Door Dash... dumb and rude driver, there's this thing called navigation, try using it... Chicken was rubbery, pork was burned dried to a crisp. Fries are just fries. Coleslaw was actually good. So thank you for wasting my money and time on such garbage food. Even chicken delight is 100 times better than this pile of garbage.

    Rubber band in my rice

    I found a rubber band in my rice. Absolutely disgusting. Especially in times of Covid19, one would expect the kitchen would have better food safety measures. Now I am forced to throw out the 30+ dollars worth of food I carried out. I won't be visiting this establishment again. My health is much too important.

    Yummy

    If you're anywhere near Hopewell Junction and craving incredible food, do yourself a favor and…read morevisit el dominicanos restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome, like you're a regular even on your first visit. The food is absolutely outstanding fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And I have to talk about that green sauce they serve on the side... whatever magic is in it, I could seriously put it on everything. It's that good. To top it all off, I tried their tres leches cake and it was perfection, moist, rich, and not overly sweet, just the way it should be. Amazing food, wonderful people, and flavors that keep you thinking about your next visit. Highly recommend!

    It looked great. But, it was way way overrated, like the cook is in love and doesn't pay attention…read more while salting the food. Kid said it was saltier than the ocean. Also we went at night and the food was dry-ish, plantains were not fresh and yammy as u love them. Oxtail was dryyyy. Yukka (for extra $2) was dryyy. From the meat options we got the best was chicken, chicken in my (super salty) soup was perfectly cooked. Grilled chicken was great too, juicy with crunchy skin. Beans were cooked perfectly. Too much rice in every plate and not enough beans though. I really do t know if during lunch time all that food was freshly cooked and juicy and just got dried up by dinner time. I might give it another chance if I am in the area and super hungry, cos it was generously served.
