We were seated quickly and the waitress was super ready to collect our order. They had Chinese Zodiac paper plate mats, which I thought was cute. Collectively we ordered Shrimp and Green beans, sweet plantains, sesame chicken and broccoli, pollo saltado and the seafood platter. Everything was tasty and enjoyable. Its cool that you could see the fusion of chinese and latin cuisine.

OUTSTANDING! I'm almost afraid to post how good they are…read more This is not a dine-in eatery. See what you like. Order. Pay, and take out. Been eating there since they opened. Brought a Nigerian doctor there, and he fell in love with the food, also. He said it reminded him of home: the care, seasoning, preparation. When I used to work seven blocks, and two avenues over. I would walk. My co-workers tried the food, then they would buy my meal, IF I walked there to pick up. I got a LOT of exercise. I've brought a lot of people there, back in the day, until our office moved further away. The Mrs. of the business was the sweetest! She a had a great sense of humor, too. She and I used to talk. Years passed, then we had our primary food from Polancos for Thanksgiving; roast chicken & fixins. We're older, now, and don't care for big holiday celebrations. We simply enjoy good food & good company. We brought homemade, old-fashioned 7-Up cake, Ms. Holmes canned collards - we added smoked meats - plenty love, good conversation, then good sleep. I'm an outstanding cook! But I! Am! Tired! The house is empty, and I've run out of gas for cooking for myself. So! Although I'm surrounded by very good Chinese, Jamaican, Dominican, fast-food, etc. I catch the bus in the thunder storm, to "return" to Polancos. The line was so long, I was blocking the door. When I got up to the counter, there was another line formed behind me... out the door. This is my third trip in two weeks. The lettuce is so beautiful, it doesn't look real! That's how VERY fresh it is, along with all of the salad additions, and I'm not a salad person, but I've become one because of the. They have something like an okra stew. Haven't had okra in a billion years, BUT I'LL EAT THEIRS! Their cooking is so magically delicious, you'll be adventurous, and try this, that, and the other! Polancos forever!

I went back and forth about leaving this review because part of me wanted to be a gatekeeper. But…read moresince mama didn't raise a gatekeeper, here it is! This spot has no frills, there's zero ambiance. You walk in, you order, and you walk out. The service? Polite and fast, no complaints. But the most important part? The food SLAPSSS! Now, I won't spill my favorite thing to order (I can't give everything away ), but what I will say is everything I've tried is delicioso and reasonably priced. Some items are even made fresh to order. It be mad packed during lunch time because it hits. Do I recommend it? Sí!! I've taken a bus and walked in the cold just to grab one of their menu items, it's that good!

It looked a little too sterile and new, so we stood in the rain while i maintained my stubborn ways, in pursuit of whatever it was that I wanted that I could not exactly put into words. Everything was looking too expensive, too clean and fake, or there were no options for dine in, and we needed to sit our wet butts down and take cover from the rain. My phone was ready to give out from the rain, I'm tilting it up towards the sky, trying to keep raindrops from landing on the screen when I finally scroll to Jacob restaurant. My heart starts to flutter upon realizing we've found a soul food hot bar buffet, only half a mile away. We are overly excited and pack our platters so high that we actually have to tell ourselves to calm down. I'm reminded of when I was a child and my dad would take me to the Wegmans hot bar where I'd run up a tab for $15 worth of steamed white rice. But not today, today there is salmon, curry goat, collard greens, mac and cheese, black eyed peas, candied yams, and green beans. It was exactly the kind of snake meal we needed to end a long weekend of biking all over New York. Everything was hot, well seasoned and made with love. We watched the world cup as it poured rain, we left happy and ready to go home, but I feel grateful knowing I have a spot I would love to return to whenever I'm in New York again. We took banana pudding to go and ate it on our bus ride home while debriefing all the fun we had.

However, it seems like there was always 1-2 available, so if you're looking to dine in you shouldn't need to wait. We opted to split the chow fan mixto (mixed fried rice) and longaniza mofongo. Both were so good! I typically don't really care for mofongo, but this one was very flavorful and not dry like others I've had. The mixto fried rice was also delicious and they definitely did not skimp on the meats! My friend and I tried our best to eat it all and were still bested. I would order both again. Service was friendly and they have a small discount if you pay in cash. Overall very tasty food that I would venture back up for!

The arroz con gandules was a solid, well-seasoned base for the meal and came in a generous portion. We also grabbed a couple of pastelillos. The pastelillos con carne and the pastelillo con queso both had a great crunch and were packed with filling. The alcapurria was fried well with a solid exterior, and the inside was full of seasoned meat. To finish it off, we had the bacalaitos, which were huge, savory codfish fritters with crispy edges. It gets hot inside and you will have to wait, but the efficient service and excellent food make it a strong 4 star spot.

The flavors: very light, authentic, black beans nicely cooked with a hint of chicken flavor, rice- fluffy without being drenched in MSG, and the chicken was moist with skin. Its the kinda food that you eat once and are full for hours; that kinda food. They also sell other dishes that sound like chicken, steak, egg/tomato, and smaller fried foods empanadas, something that looked like an egg roll and they had some deals listed outside. Several signs are handwritten in Spanish, I think for the specials of the day for around $12 to 18. (No sign was in English except the chicken and rice special...haha). There's 6 old school diner stools for the public so theres no idling and is tight quarters. There is no air conditioning so it was quite warm on an already warm day. You get to watch old slice of nyc with a bustling food joint serve fried comfort food including something that looks like egg rolls, rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, fried empanada. I've never seen the staff work so hard to serve food to the public, incoming pickup delivery guys, and seated staff. The lady serving us was kind and the portions really generous; we was able to take half to go and i swear she was working at breakneck speed to serve everyone. You see the neighborhood folks streaming in from the outside ordering stuff to go; and you know that means this place is authentic. They got drinks in a rotating machine with different flavors with fruit juices. I like how on one hot day they serve ice with our drinks. Otherwise, do go with an open mind for adventure and curiosity for local favor. Don't expect a perfect service as it was a steal in this economy and bring your patience, as it took me awhile to get the staffs attention to pay the bill.

They have a few booster seats around the sides of the room and it mainly seemed like a take-out place. We ordered a large oxtail with a side of baked mac & cheese and collard greens and it was delicious. We shared it between two people and we almost couldn't finish it. The oxtail basically fell off the bone and was very tender and flavorful. I like the mac & cheese as well although I wish there was more cheese as it felt a bit carb heavy. But the real star was the collard greens which were incredibly tender and soaked up all the meat juices it was marinated in. Will definitely be back to try more items!
