Truly no idea why this place has such poor ratings. I've lived in the neighborhood for over thirty years and have been going to Jorge's for close to two decades. I had a small moment of panic when I discovered they were no longer on the corner they used to be on, but then I realized they simply changed locations to the other side of the street, next to the liquor store. The quality is the same as I remember. And the ladies serving the food are always so incredibly kind and friendly. I practice the little spanish I know with them, and they are so patient. My partner is Dominican and I just love the Dominican people. They're also so generous. Holy cow, I ask for a lunch platter, and they really pile on the food. I'm always wondering how they're going to close the lid, but they always manage to, lol. My favorite thing to get from there is the paticas, maduros, cod, pasta, and chicken noodle soup. Their batidos are also amazing, especially the guanabana and mamey! LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

This restaurant has been a long-standing establishment that used to offer great food. Unfortunately, the quality and service have declined over time, while prices have increased. It's disappointing to see. read more

This place has its all..ur go to Spanish spot w rice, beans, chicken, beef, soup..everything! They never fail to make my tummy happy. Inexpensive food w great music playing at all time. Eat in or deliver, you can't go wrong! read more

Jorge's Restaurant - Sancocho, arroz blanco, aguacate y jugo de parcha - Latin American Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

They have the best sancocho and serve it everyday. So good. Tastes homemade. Their pepper steak is also amazing.

FOOD 1.) fish on orange rice = I don't actually know what it's officially called but it's so damn comforting and tasty. Mmmmmm. Came with like one big piece of brocoli and a carrot slice. Maybe more so for garnish, but pretty yummy itself. The menu is pretty extensive, but kinda confusing at first. But it's ok, I just looked at all the hot food behind the glass to see what I wanted. Next time I think I want to try more of their seafood. And their soupy rice. SERVICE Oh they actually have table service. ATMOSPHERE Nothing crazy, pretty homey feel. Tables are a tad cramped. read more

Pernil was really good from Jorge's. You know that Billy Joel song, " I'll meet you anytime you want at Jorge's restaurant". Works for me. The beans that came with the meal were good too. They gave me an extreme amount of rice but I was picking up late so maybe they threw in some extra! Altogether solid mealio!!! This is a solid spot to pick up some food. read more

I cannot believe that we lived in the area for 6 months before giving Jorge's a try. When you walk in, it appears to be a take-out type place, but I like to wait to be seated for better service and larger portions. The Beef Stew is a serious serving of beef and side dishes for only $7. It is easily enough for two meals. The Chicken Soup is also excellent for those cold days or times when you need some comfort food. I love their milkshakes- the papaya and orange milk are my favorites. The maduro is sliced thin so they are nice and crispy on the edges. Just under the Seneca stop on the M train, you cannot miss this place. It looks like a glowing Latin TGI Fridays. The door says that they take credit cards, but seriously this place is cash only folks. read more

A friend purchase food from this restaurant and there were maggots in the beans. They got the money back , But wow. Where are the standards. read more

I usually don't like leaving bad reviews, but if you're looking for authentic Latin food, this isn't it. I ordered sancocho, Cuban sandwich and bistec sandwich. The Cuban sandwich was more like a hero with pernil and cheese - the sandwich wasn't pressed at all, pernil was dry, it came with mayo instead of mustard and it came with a cold slice of ham.. I also asked and paid for lettuce and tomato which it did not bring. My husband got the bistec sandwich. It was cold and the bread was stale. The sancocho wasn't too bad and they did add a small free rice with which was nice. I'll never order from this place again. read more

5 stars in service, 5 stars as a "take out spot", 4 stars for the food (they know tradicional Spanish/Caribbean food well) but the 3 stars is an over all rating due to location- it is a bit of a dungy spot and right under the train tracks. read more

Ripped off never again ! This is my second time at this restaurant and the food is okay but if you're going to give me nothing but rice any barely any beans and charge me $10 for it . I'll take my money elsewhere! read more

Jorge's Restaurant - Rice and beans - Latin American Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Delicious food and nice service; it's in my neighborhood which is convenient. Reasonable prices and some good drinks which is a plus.

This was a horrible idea for a dinner. I use to love this place when I was younger. It has changed so much. So first off the lady who waited our table had spoke no English and I get it's a Domitian based place but really? I had to google translate for her. Then she never came over once to check on us my knife dropped and my boyfriend needed a refill and we just dealt with it. When I eventually got up to go to the counter the lady at register completely ignored me then went on to pick up a call on her cellphone as I stood there , WHAT THE HELL!!! Horrible customer service I would never go back to this place. To top it all off the food was gross. We asked for white meat we got pinkish slimy chicken. I mean it looked and tasted like scrap meat that wasn't sold from the day before. I wouldn't even give this place one star! read more

It's unfortunate that I am giving them such a bad review. I'm certain that their food is good as I have had it on several occasions at their establishment. Service is not their fortitude but it's a local establishment and their food is good so I overlook their lack of refinement. Today I decided to order for delivery and I charged it. I called after one hour and was told the food was out for delivery. After thirty additional minutes I called to check on the status and was told it was delivered to the business located one building over. I went to check with them and the business was closed therefore the restaurant was clearly lying. It's been over two hours now and I know I'll have to wait at least another forty minutes. Needless to say I will not be ordering from them again. read more

This place hits the spot every time. Service is great and awesome food servicing. I usually have leftovers from how much it get, but defiantly would try them if looking around for quality Hispanic food. read more

We ordered a meal for Christmas day which cost $136,10 and I rounded the amount up to just under $150 with a 10% tip. When I got my bank statement I found that I had been charged $201,99 despite having only pre authorized $149,70. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat a Customer !! read more

I've eaten chicharrones de pollo in the area but damn Jorge's are the best! Whether you're going for delivery or takeout, this place always delivers. The servers are sweethearts, too! read more

Food is DELICIOUS. BUT the ladies that serve need to pay attention to their job. After my meal I ordered a beer with lemons. And the lemons were cut huge that I had to squeeze it so hard in the bottle. PAY ATTENTION. if someone orders beer just because the limes are pre cut. CUT THEM AGAIN. THSNK YOU. PS. If you don't like your job quit. read more

Jorge's is the perfect spot for Dominican cuisine in Ridegwood. You have the option of grabbing a togo meal from a selection ready made food or sitting down and ordering from a larger selection on the dine in menu. I recommend the chicharrones de pollo (boneless fried chicken chunks) with a side of tostones (fried green plantains) they're delicious and a large enough portion to share. Jorge's also has a full bar which is rare in small gems like this! Friendly staff, great prices, good food, definitely worth checking out! read more

This restaurant has really gone bad, the portions are small and the prices are still high. Not a good look Jorge!!!

Great Spanish food the only downside is the delivery takes about an hour sometimes so if your really hungry and your trying to order make sure you have a snack on handy lol read more

I waited for 2 hours and 45 minutes for my order and it never showed up, called them multiple times and the lady on the phone kept saying the food was on it is way, I had to finally cancel my order after I got tired of waiting. Never ordering from them again read more

Poor customer service when ordering over the phone. Lady behind receiving calls is very rude when responding to a customer. First of all they speak Spanish granted I'm Spanish too but my Spanish speaking isn't as fluent so i do not want to sound like an idiot trying too hard. I asked kindly if she spoke English which she said yes. I mean damn does it rub you the wrong way by being asked? I don't get it? She rudely asked "what do want?" I replied I want to order for delivery then she replied rudely again what do you want ! Now if I were to go there I would of knocked her senseless because one I am not your child! Two I'm a paying customer who is entitled to receive good service there's no need for rudeness. Three, you going to get a poor review because of her and lack of politeness n good customer service. How she conducts reflects the business and that should show enough. No one would want to go there to receive that kind of treatment. no matter where to be general. Food is delicious but puts a bad taste in my mouth knowing staff members are not mannered. read more

Food was great! Walked in to check it out and got rice and beans and pernil for lunch and it was about $7. My boyfriend has the ribs which were also great. All of the takeout options looked very good, I defiantly want to come back and try some other stuff. They have an area where you can eat in as well and a formal menu if you don't want to choose from. Will come back. Not sure how interested I am in sitting there, kinda cramped and they didn't speak much English. Overall I would say awesome lunch spot! Can't wait to try some other stuff. read more

Mom and pop food but with chairs to dine and long lines to go with. You cant go wrong with what you get from Chicken to Pernil...its all delish and the prices are 2015. Note that if you pay with a credit card they will charge you 10% (taxes) so cash is king here. If you go within a holiday like MOthers day they will RUN OUT OF CHICKEN, SO ORDER AND PICK UP BEFORE 1 30 PM. Remember Dominican Mothers day is end of May and US Mothers Day is the 2nd Sunday....both days considered a major non cooking holiday so please be aware. ive been coming here for 10 years and the weekend breakfast are the best. read more

Ordered a pernil and had it delivered for a family get together this Past Sunday. The pernil was all fat 75% was completely shocked. A few family members had some but left on their plates most of the tray went to the garbage since no one wanted the fat. Sad they have always been great but haven't been there in while. Restaurants survive on customers, Customers return for good food and service. Won't be returning read more

You have NOT had real chicken soup until you have tried Jorge's!!! Seriously... WOW Jorge's chicken soup cured me! HALLELUJAH! Call on the churches! lol This small Spanish Restaurant located in Ridgewood Queens right off the M train Seneca stop is a real treasure. Truly good home style Spanish food. I swear, their family must have been made to cook Chicken because they do it so well and it's just about perfection. Back to the Chicken Soup.... I have been fooled all my life! I never knew what REAL Chicken Soup tasted like till I came to Jorges. On top of that , my LARGE cup of HOME MADE AMAZING SOUP was $3!!!! I was completely full and I had it as a main dish not a side soup that night. WHOLE CHUNKS OF REAL CHICKEN! I have never spent so much time licking every drop off my spoon. Thank you Jorge's.. for showing me what REAL Chicken Soup should taste like! ;o) read more

My husband and I frequent this place on a weekly basis. Living in the vicinity of it, makes it near impossible to not have you craving their rotisserie chicken. The smell is a part of the neighborhood and if you get off the M train at the Seneca stop, it seduces you. You know in the old Looney Tunes cartoons when the toon would smell something and his/her feet would lift off the ground and their nose would follow the scent? Thats what will happen to you! The food is delicious!!! The tostones are the right kind of crunchy, the maduros are the right kind of sweet, the mofongo comes in about 6 different varieties (chicken, beef, codfish, shrimp etc) and theyre all good! It is pure dominican/puerto rican food that makes you feel like your eating the best from Abuelas cooking. The restaurant is located on the corner of Seneca and Palmetto, underneath the train. The setting is a family style little restaurant. They have two flat screen TVs, a jukebox which plays latin music at a comfortable setting so you can hear yourself speak. I want to say there are about 10 small tables max. Its not a place where you can come with a party of 15 and expect to sit together. You would probably take up the majority of the tables. LOL! If you try this place, it will not disappoint. Oh and they DELIVER!!!! read more

Where do I start? Oh, I know... DO NOT USE THIS RESTAURANT'S CATERING SERVICE. JUST DON'T. So, we ordered like 20 chickens and 2 roast porks for a party. Went in person for payment to make sure everything went smoothly. Payment was made WAY before the day of the party. So here we are, the day of the party, running around trying to get everything done and NOT thinking about catering since there were several in-person and telephone conversations to make sure everything was squared away. Delivery was scheduled for 2:00 PM; at 4:00 PM the food was still not there. We were told they didn't have anything scheduled for catering but that they would check. We had to go in in-person to resolve this. Once there the manager then proceeded to tell us that "there's nothing I can do about this; want a beer?" A beer???? yes, a *&%$ beer!! He defiantly then said, "well, what do want? Want your money back?" Trust me, we wanted to say yes but the party was underway and people were hungry. Needless to say, I'll never order from here again. The service sucks BEYOND imagination. You can try it if you like but when they forget your order or mess it up for an important event, remember.... I TOLD YOU SO! read more

LEGIT. You can smell the deliciousness from down the block and in the train station right above. Massive portions, great and clean* food. Delivery times are always long but knowing this I always order early on. Phone orders can sometimes feel rushed but I always get what I order. * Very important to note when it comes to these kind of restaurants. read more

Usually get my Latin food from Estrella Del Mar but since I pass Jorges all the time coming off the M train I decided to give it a shot. Got the number 1 family dinner which is a whole chicken,large order of white rice, large pinto beans,large salad and a 1 liter Pepsi for $19.00. Not a bad deal as we had alot of leftovers. The chicken itself wasnt bad but wasnt as good as Estrella. It was a bit spicier but also less moist. The beans were decent and the salad was really just shredded iceberg with a few thin tomato slices. Maybe it's because I am Italian and we take salads serious but 2 ingredients is not really a salad. They gave me a cup of their house dressing and it was an odd tasting,very spicy dressing. My girl actually thought I put hot sauce on her salad. The service was friendly and I had no language issues as is sometimes the case at Estrella but overall I will probably go back to Estrella for my chicken fix. May stop in Jorges again for the Oxtail stew which looked pretty good. read more

We live down the street from this restaurant. All the reviews are right the money. EXCELLENT FOOD - Racist staff Incredible chicken, best chicken soup ever, phenomenal pernil, huge portions and very reasonable prices. THE PROBLEM: You don't speak Spanish you sit at the back of the bus. You're not obviously Spanish & dare to order in English they will mess up your order on purpose and make sure your served last. Despite this obvious racism we eat here often and would already be dead if looks could kill. Trying to speak Spanish only seems to anger them as my accent just doesn't cut it. As long as you are patient and have good humor in dealing with somewhat mean people be prepared for a great meal at a great price. The manager is the only bastion of sanity though he allows his staff get away with murder. read more

Rico Pollo was out of Pernil. I am borderline addicted to the stuff at this point, and was craving it like a pregnant woman craves ice cream with pickles, dryer sheets and rubber bands in it. I walked here because I heard it was the same people who ran it. I paid for Pernil with yellow rice and beans. I got: old rice that was hard, and pork that was dry and not delicious. I paid for my fix, but still had a craving. This must be what junkies feel like when they get a bunk bag. Total letdown. read more

Wish I can give them a -star but unfortunately the option is not available. After hours of waiting for a delivery, we get a bag drenched in oil and grease from the meet which spilled all over the bag on top of the other food. See images!! My family didn't even touch the food.. read more

Jorge's Restaurant - a piece of cake in a bag - Latin American Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

See all

So rude. Does not listen. You have to repeat your self weather it be in English or Spanish. Foos is not worth the head ace.

The place is located in ridgewood but very close to bushwick.Ive been here twice.The food was pretty good and extremly cheap like any hispanic restaurant..it was a dinner for four people and the tab came up to 39 dollars.Even Mcdonalds isnt that cheap. The food was very good,the place was clean and I would def. return here again.. When coming to a spanish restaurant it helps to speak the language,if not.You are going to have to wait a few minutes before they can find someone that speaks basic english. Their bar has basic drinks like hennesy,coronas,johny walker and basically the only type of cocktail or drink they make is the Pina Colada. Desserts was basically a store bought piece of dominican cake from a local bakery,which tasted really good.But not a large selection to chose from... read more

Very good food here. The restaurant is clean and the food is fresh. When I worked at a local community center, they frequently donated food for fundraisers and events, so they give back to the community. As with every place, they have their employees that have off days and can be a little less than friendly but I would say 9 times out of 10 they are friendly, fast and fair priced. The dinner specials feed your whole family at a great price. The chicken and pernil are tasty, the mondongo is killer (my favorite in the area) and the mangu in the mornings is flavorful. read more

This place is Dominican Heaven! The price is right, the food is delicious + hot, it's fresh + you can get it to go or sit down for a bite. They even have Morir Sonando... When it's cold + rainy + miserable outside, here you'll find your piece of Dominican sunshine. If you're in a hurry, grab a pastelito (the chicken ones are SUPER high quality - all white meat!) for $1.50. best bite in the neighbourhood! read more

With Growing up eating rice and beans daily you wouldn't think I'd want to eat it as much now as an adult... wrong. I freaking love it. I love the flavor of everything here. My absolute favorite thing to eat in this restaurant is their stewed chicken. I kid you not, it's the best I've ever tasted. I must get lucky because everytime I go, there is a fresh pot. The prices are super reasonable and they give nice healthy larger portions. I will continue to come here and eat everything. read more

Mostly order Pollo al horno (Rotisserie chicken) with white rice and beans and it's the best! Their chicken is to die for. My family and I have ordered dozens of times probably by now, so you can trust this review if you'd like. I have also tried their gandules rice and it's amazing. Breaded chicken and fish too... delicious. Totally recommend this place. Most of the time I order delivery but I did walk in there once to eat and food was tasty and they also make sure you get A LOT of food so you get what you paid for. Overall, totally recommend it. Give it a try :) read more
