This restaurant is still a favorite for pulled pork and other Dominican dishes. The service is friendly, the food is always on point, and very authentic. In particular, we like the pulled pork, barbecue ribs, the stew chicken, and the yellow rice and beans. read more

Loved every bite and can't wait to come back! Sweet plantains were amazing as they're one of my favorite bites. The chicken thighs are beautifully cooked... juicy and flavorful. The popcorn chicken bites were great and I enjoyed them dipping them in the ketchup/mayo dip they make The gentleman at the counter was cool. He was multitasking with my order and an order on the phone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was spacious with some booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seemed like there was only street parking available. Excited to return and become a regular here! No pics because I was too hungry and the food smelled soooo good! read more

My husband was super excited to go here since he is Dominican and has been looking for a Dominican restaurant to go too. Unfortunately we will not be back. We order one medium plate of chicharron with tostones, one large juice and a bottle of coke. The chicharrones were so dry and overcooked and they still served it like that. No amount of lime juice was helping that. When he went up to pay they charged him $36 . We got one medium size plate of food and two drinks so I was super confused how that was $36. They literally have the plate sizes and prices at the front and it says $14 for a medium size plate and a large juice is $6 so those numbers just didn't add up. I felt like that was extremely expensive and we were ripped off for the amount food we got as you can see in the picture attached. Such a disappointment. read more

So, I'm from NYC and I'm Dominican. I was very excited to see this place in Buffalo, but we got really disappointed. If you want real Dominican food that you can at least stomach without being disgusted, try Latino Cuisine at the Galleria Mall. We came here and got the mac and cheese, ribs with yellow rice, and the fried pork bites with yellow rice. First, we ordered the mac and cheese. It came once we were done with our two first meals, which we couldn't even finish. It was basically a soup with a cup of actual macaroni; the rest was just cheese liquid, very disgusting, and it doesn't look at all like what they advertise on DoorDash/Uber Eats. The rice wasn't actual Dominican rice; it had corn in it. They had no moro, and when I asked for it, he put huge brown beans with the sauce that ruined the rice. Also, they only had rice with corn or white rice. The fried pork bites were really dry; they needed a sauce. The only thing we liked were the ribs slathered in BBQ sauce, which was still mediocre. The service was awful, trying to rush you into making a decision just for the food to take ages. He got annoyed by other customers asking questions and modifications. They only had one person in the back cooking, and if they don't "feel like it," it doesn't get done even if it's on the menu. At one point, it felt like we were getting punked because everyone else was getting four plates worth, and they had amazing reviews online. Huge money waste! Almost 50 dollars--back home, I'll tell you, this would have been 35 max. Everything was off from the service to the food in other places where Dominican food is common like nyc or Pennsylvania allentown people who work are respectful and make good food. They bring that Dominican experience over to the U.S, this really sucked. Sadly no pictures taken as we threw the food out and this was a couple days ago. It honestly felt like the big guy at the front was antagonizing us after the mac and cheese, every second coming over and asking if we like the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, horrible food, flies and mosquitoes everywhere at the restaurant, weird seating, and a huge waste of money if you like actual, real, authentic Dominican food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came here on a Saturday because I have been craving sancocho. This location has it available on Saturdays only. It was so good and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ate my food at home but could have certainly ate at the restaurant as there was clean tables to enjoy your meal inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely would come again for authentic sancocho! read more

I remember coming to this place when I was in college a few years ago (since it was walking distance from campus). I can't believe I forgot about it. Looooveeee. You can't get more authentic than this. You get so much food for a great price. Lots of great options to try. Everything tastes like it was made with love. If you're love carribean (dominican) food or are looking to try something new, definitely stop by! I don't know how this place isn't more popular. Super quick, flavorful and memorable dishes.

A little place at the end of the street you'd never know is there. Stunningly good food at very real prices. Beautiful balance of spice and sweet. We got some takeout and tried the roasted pork, the pepper steak, the Saturday only soup (wow), and the beans. It netted out to like $10 a person. In this economy? Awesome! And the people are happy you came by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's that little neighborhood place you'll be thrilled you found.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is cafeteria style. read more

My Dominican friend who is from the Bronx told me about this joint and he didn't do me wrong. I come here at least once a week. I always get the Medium size plate, Yellow Rice, Beans, Pernil ( ask for couple crispy skin) / fried Chicken bites half and half. This place slaps 100%. The hospitality is amazing too. Always friendly and always no problem when you ask for something or request something. Price is awesome too and service is quick even when there is a line, online orders coming in, gig drivers coming in they handle it all very well. Now that I'm writing this review, I'm craving for some La Casa De Sabores right now. read more

Absolutely LOVE La Casa De Sabores. It's a small place, over near Buffalo State University... but they food is on point. Platanos, pernil, rice... and even if you ask them, despite being a Dominican place, they'll hook you up with a fresh made Cubano from the ladies in the back. I've been here maybe 4 times now, and loved it every time. Staff is friendly... they always treat me well and even remember your face and say what's up anytime you come In. They are reppin' the DR well out here in Buffalo. read more

Had the chicken bites, yellow rice & beans, & beef pastellilo. Big plate of food, rice had just come out, chicken bites were perfect, not over cooked. White boy mistake, I should've got the beans on the side, but I'd drink that stuff for christs sake. Young lady's working there are very nice & patient. It's definitely better than the PR place on Hertel. I'd def go back! read more

I discovered this gem at the Taste of Buffalo 2023. The mangu was so delicious, I went back for seconds! It is outstanding Dominican cuisine, and the value for your money cannot be beaten. Personally, I recommend the mangu with a side of pernil. The service is excellent with friendly staff and the music makes for the perfect tropical ambience. Located across from Buff State University, this restaurant is a must try if you're visiting Buffalo. read more

The owner, Carlos, is attentive and friendly. The food was good! 4 of us ate (one from DR) & all were happy with what we got. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. I'll be back. It's comfortable and portions were big! Two of us were Gluten free & food options weren't a problem. The 10% Veteran's discount was appreciated. Support this locally owned business. read more

Met a friend for lunch today and this place didn't disappoint. You could smell how amazing the food was before you got out of the car! I got rice and beans, fried chicken, sweet plantains and a passion fruit drink for around $15 and I enjoyed it all. The staff were really friendly and despite being busy the restaurant was very clean. My experience was great and I'll definitely be back. read more

Best food of its kind around! Great prices too! I usually get the pernil with rice and beans.

This business Charged my card 3 times the amount and then told me it didn't go through and that I should've received a refund when I did not . They owe me money read more

Food was delicious. I was looking for food close to home and found this. I have tried the other well known Puerto Rican restaurants in Buffalo but, this place was spot on. I got a large Pernil & BBQ ribs with yellow rice and beans. The portions were huge. I have been eating on them for three days with the amount of rice they give you. The prices are reasonable and they have 3 for $5 Pastelitos they were deep-fried perfectly. The Pernil was moist with the good fat pieces throughout. (if you know, you know) This was my first time going but I will be back. read more

Came in and I instantly remember this used to be a college bar that I would dabble at occasionally so very happy to see that La Casa De Sobres is currently occupying the space. As an avid hip-hop consumer, I loved the fact that they were playing the late Pop Smoke (RIP) while I waited for my breakfast sandwich. The music may not seem like a big deal, but they're located close to Buffalo State where a lot of people attend college from New York City - Brooklyn in this instance so the details matter. The staff is extremely helpful and generous and my breakfast sandwich was made with love. And check this - it's the only place in Buffalo where you can get it on the popular hero roll - similar to bodegas in New York City where a bacon, egg, and cheese are popular. Again, the details. They get it. read more

I take pictures of my food and text them to friends to make them jealous every time I eat here. That's how good it is: brag to your friends and pick on them for missing out, good. Pre-Covid-19 I used to stop in for lunch with colleagues. For $10 I can get a plate of rice and pernil (or bbq chicken or ribs) and beans, and the serving is more than I can finish. Now that I'm getting takeout, I order a large and one or two sides of something we eat it family style. It's plenty of food for two people and absolutely delicious. If you're used to Puerto Rican food, the flavors are slightly different because this is Domenican but I'm telling you, it's so good. Don't miss out. read more

La Casa De Sabores - Pernil and maduros - Dominican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I have gotten takeout from here a few times. The first time, I got the Fried Pork Mofongo and actually didn't enjoy my meal that much. While the plantains were delicious, I thought the pork was dry, but it could have been that I just didn't like fried pork. I ate it all anyway. The next time, I ordered a grilled salmon dish and that was delicious and soooo much food and so worth the $$$. The salmon with the plantains and rice meshed very well and it was a very comforting, yet still somewhat healthy meal. I'd highly recommend the fish! read more

Ordered the big plate and tried 3 meats: roasted, bbq, and rotisserie pork. All are delicious. Paired with plantains over a bed of yellow rice and beans. With a side of mangu and empanadas. The chicken is delicious. When I come back to Buffalo I'll be coming here for Cuban food! read more

¡Muy rico! Authentic Dominican home cooking...second only to the meals prepared by my husband! We tried everything. Rice and beans, pernil, mofongo, chicharrón de pollo, plátanos maduros, and empanadas. All were delicious, full of flavor, and well prepared. Prices extremely reasonable. Order cafeteria style; counter staff friendly and helpful. Don't let the neighborhood steer you away. It's in an industrial area near Buff State, but well worth the trip and perfectly safe. We will make this a regular stop when we are in B-lo. read more

Just off the Buff State campus, nestled in the back corner of where a neighborhood turns industrial, is this hidden gem. Atmosphere is casual, an old corner bar turned into a comfortable neighborhood dining place. A friend and I were just talking about our experience here and I realized that I never wrote a review. He and I went a month or two ago. This was his first visit and my second. Specifically we were talking about the guy working there that day who was just so excited to tell us about everything on the buffet and menu. He was really like an enthusiastic tour guide to Dominican cuisine. The first time I came I experienced similar hospitality as well. This conversation branched off an earlier discussion on places that make you really feel welcome versus those where you almost feel unwelcome. La Casa De Sabores was obviously the welcoming example. So then we started reminiscing about the food. This time around I had the Mofongo with pernil. Each order of Mofongo is made fresh and they do let you know that the wait for this dish will be a little longer than others. For appetizers, we started with some pastelitos and sorullos from the buffet. Everything was tasty and satisfying. I needed to take half of the Mofongo home because it was more than I could eat for one meal. One note: heavy garlic in the mofongo. I love garlic but if you don't, the Mofongo might not be fore you. The first time I came with an ex. He wasn't an ex at the time of course but I have no idea what title to even use. That's not the point. The point is, we were each going to get a container of food from the buffet, but when the guy showed us the size of the container, we decided to just share one. Prices are very low for the amount of food that you get. I hope these folks are making enough of a profit because this place is really unique and I wish them continued success. read more

Food - 3 Price - 5 Service - 4 Atmosphere - 2 I have learned this lesson so many times but I keep doing it anyway. Do not get a steak from Dominican joints. I want to be wrong but it just hasn't happened yet. The steak had some sort of sauce on it. It's just not for me. It leaned more towards pot roast shredded meat than steak. Always get the chicken or pork. Get the Pernil. The pork is delicious, I love the crunchy pieces of pork skin. They have extremely large portions, and they certainly don't skimp on size. A large can feed you a few times or a family. Another thing to note is that the food here has more or a tomato base for the rice. Some people like that and some don't. At the end of the day, we may return if we are in the area. I did enjoy the Pernil and I think you can't go wrong getting that meal. read more

Amazing food. I love the roast pork! Very good prices and big portions. Awesome vibes

I had a big ol' burrito and it was delicious. I'm from California, and finding good Mexican food outside California and most southwestern states is difficult at best. The food everybody in my group had was excellent. You can't go wrong eating here. Enjoy! read more
