    This place was recommended by my cousin who said he loves coming here since the food reminds him of DR. We came in before the lunch rush and there was plenty of seating available. This place is a typical casual no frills Dominican place. You can smell the delicious meats as soon as you walk in. My cousin recommended the chicharron with yuca and onions for me to order and he got the mofongo. The food came right away and the portions are very generous. The chicharron was beyond delicious, the right amount of crispy and tasted very fresh it paired well with the yuca and onions. I also tried the mofongo and liked that it wasn't too dry. If you're into chicharron then this is definitely a great spot. My only issue was that the food was served on paper plates and plastic cutlery. This is fine if you're getting takeout but I like to eat on actual real plates and silverware. The guy working at the counter was from my hometown and he was super friendly. Prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes.

    Love the carnitas and the chicharrones here. Amazing Dominican spot. Small but clean and the staff is always friendly.

    I've had quite a few mofongos. After trekking all the way from the other end of Queens I couldn't wait to get back home and try this. Theres no parking. Please, don't even consider coming unless you have someone that can hop out the car and pick up the order. We arrived around 8pm on a Monday after places an order on yelp. I approached the door, the gate was down but the lights were on a people were inside. The door was locked. The gentleman came and said something to me ( I speak a decent amount of Spanish) I believe he was telling me the place was closed. I showed him I had an order for pick up and he allowed me in. The guys at the counter spoke to me in English. I informed them of my order. He got it from the side and confirmed what i ordered and I was out of there. Pretty quick transaction thanks for ordering on yelp. What we ordered: Mofongo de chicharrones y carne frita - my BF had this and he loved it. He's been telling me we have to eat here for months so he was happy to finally have it again. He Mofongos de camarones y 5 camarones - The mofongo was delicious and flavorful. I've had it with sauce from other places and was skeptical when I saw it was sauceless. It was so tasty and moist without being sticky and wet. They included a bunch of red onion (which I LOVE) which was such a great addition. Every place should serve it like that. The additional fried shrimp was okay. They were a little greasy but overall pretty standard fried shrimp. The monfongo was so good. I would have gladly eaten it without the extra shrimp. The chunks of shrimp in the mound were delicous. When craving some mofongo and willing to go on an adventure, I'm sure I'll be back. Also gotta clear up when they actually close.

    My #ThankYouThursday will go to this local business La Cabana that can go as local as it can be, I will tell all of you this has to be the real shortcut to real authentic food from the Dominican Republic, and I am not talking about the main dishes where easy you can find on several places around New York City, I am talking about that in this place you will found the real popular dishes from El Patio as is the popular name we like to call the island. I love ordering to go or calling for delivery at this place because besides finding moro, arroz, chicharrones, and mofongo that is something that you will find anywhere, you also can find longaniza, carne frita, empanada of yuca, quipes, bollo de yuca, maduros, yuca, cassava, morcilla and more. The taste is super authentic. I want to thank you for being around, and having a lot of frituras and food that is not that easy to find around the city, that you will only find back home.

    This is it. THE spot for mofongo and chicharrones! Both were moist and flavorful. I was crying inside as I tasted the first few bites knowing I'll be back again and again. Friendly and welcoming service too! Will be back soon to try the other items

    Holy mufango! First time passing my lips. This place has been in my Yelp bookmarks for a long time, and I *almost* thought about bypassing on this trip, sadly, to join many other bookmarks that have lingered for years mostly because I just have too many. Glad I did not. This, was a very good decision. Entered on a cold, rainy day at lunch and was blasted by the warmth of the grill near the front and blaringly loud big-band Latin music which consumed the restaurant. I'm a musician, though not this type, and I love and listen to various Cuban and Latin styles and this made me quite happy. Ordered mufango pollo with pickled onions. Out it comes, not such a huge portion, which I was totally fine with. One bite... so THIS is what this dish is all about. I won't pretend to know what's going on, but even with my healthy appetite I could only finish about 2/3 of it. Succulent, moist, laden with (a guess) chicharrones maybe? I don't know. It came with cut up lemons to squeeze onto it so away I went before even tasting. Another good decision. I watched as various dishes came and were consumed. This joint, and it is a joint, really has it going. The folks at front were super nice. Clearly native Spanish speakers first, they spoke to me in English. I answered in Spanish, they replied in English, and so forth. To be fair, their English is WAY better than my Spanish. Well, if you need a good swift kick in the rear end, your food paradigm altered a bit, and some fantastic good chow, come here for a late lunch. Get a mufango and a beer and you'll be done dining for the day. I think I need to return here need time I'm in the city. Oh, check out the short video I posted. Sound up. Well done, La Cabana.

    Authentic and local Dominican spot with the classics. Love coming here for the chicharrón and tostones, you can also order the chicharrón with yuca. Both are delicious!!! Their pickled red onions are so good as well. Service is always friendly and welcoming! Parking is difficult around these areas, but it's worth it!

    This place is a GEM! The workers are great, so much passion, music, Latin flavor - makes the place enjoyable. They play their own music and the best of the best Latin classics to listen to which gives me a close remembrance to home. The food - amazing! Served quick and so much flavor that definitely come back for special treats. It is complimented well with the onions and tostones/yuca (your choice)! Highly recommend!! Gracias por el trabajo

    I've been coming here since I was a little kid and the consistency is always there. We woke up craving their mofongo with extra sautéed onions and this is only spot to go to. We trekked it all the way to Queens and best believe my foodie self was satisfied. We also ordered an empanada de yuca and some chicharron del pollo sin hueso that hit the spot!

    Really cutely-decorated place with good food! I came for lunch on a weekday and got oxtail with…read moredirty rice (rice and beans) which was a filling portion with delicious broth. However, I have to give Morena's a less-than-great rating due to difficulties with the service and payment. When the server came to take my order, I asked about the lunch special specified on the menu, where it's stated that all main courses are available as a lunch special at a reduced price; I had seen that online and it was a big reason I decided to stop by for lunch. The server directed us to the counter with a hot bar of selected dishes (but not all of the main courses as the menu said) and told us that ordering from there consisted of the lunch special. Fortunately, the oxtail I wanted was there anyway. When it came time to pay, I expected the check to be brought to the table but I had to get up to go to the counter. The server gave me a charge that was higher than the lunch special prices on the menu, more in line with the regular non-special price. I asked to confirm if it was the lunch price (apparently yes) and if I could see an itemized receipt before paying (apparently not). I ended up just paying because I didn't want to make a fuss, but something seems to have gone wrong. Was the menu inaccurate or outdated? Was the server not fluent in English and didn't catch what I asked? Is this something they pull on people who they assume to be from outside the area? I'm not quite sure and I don't want to assume bad intentions, but I unfortunately can't recommend this restaurant based on that spotty experience.

The flavor was good and all but something was missing. I had the pescado a la parrilla and my friend had the rabo. The rabo was 10/10!!! But the pescado was ehh. The rice and beans though BOMB. The margaritas were great too! Maybe it was just the way they seasoned the fish. But I still recommend this place and say give it a shot!

Even though I don't live in the area anymore, I always make a special trip back to La Brisa Dominican Restaurant because the food is just that good. The rice and beans are perfectly seasoned, with fluffy rice and rich, flavorful beans that taste homemade every time. The bistec is juicy and well-marinated, but the real star for me is the liver. It's the best liver ever, tender and full of flavor, cooked to perfection with onions and green peppers that add a sweet, savory aroma. Every bite is juicy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Their coffee is bold and smooth, the perfect finish to a meal. And the flan? Still unbeatable and sooooo creamy, silky, and perfectly sweet. My son loves their soup of the day which is hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor carrots ,potato , yuca and meat . The prices are still fair, which is rare these days, and the quality has never slipped. They even bring out a complimentary salad with your meal, a thoughtful touch that makes the experience even better. La Brisa feels like home, with warm service and food made with love. From the tender liver with peppers and onions to that unforgettable flan, this place will always have my heart and my appetite.
