If you want Latin food close to how Mom made it, this is the joint…read more The staff is friendly and makes sensible suggestions. The steam table has a wide variety of Latin food. Roast pork, chicken, codfish and potatoes, variety of rices. Best part is that they will make on the spot requests like tostones with mojo, chicaron de pollo, - they need a menu - but just ask. Been there twice and this is now our go to Spanish joint in Rockland. This is authentic Dominican food. Those who know, know.

Once again, I wasn't looking for anything--yet I walked out already planning my next visit. It was…read morea lazy Saturday, and my wife was craving Avena. I figured I'd also grab my favorite handheld snack: an empanada. This is a small, no-frills counter-service spot with empanadas on display, a counter for fresh salads and juices, and a cooler leading into the kitchen. After a friendly "good morning,"we ordered the Avena, and I went all-in on empanadas: carne de res molida, pollo con queso, pizza, pepperoni pizza, and pollo. She bagged them up, and the moment she handed me the warm bag, the smell hit me--fresh, fragrant, and impossible to resist. I could hardly wait to dig in. On the side, I loaded up on their pink sauce and hot sauce (both highly recommended). As soon as we got home, I grabbed the carne empanada first. The crust was perfectly fried--crispy yet still doughy, and the filling was so flavorful I immediately made everyone at the table try a bite. The same went for the chicken, chicken with cheese, pizza, and pepperoni empanadas. The dough was consistently delicious--some flaky and soft, others crispier--but every single one was a winner. My only regret? Not buying more. This place nailed consistency across 5 flavors, and that's why I'll be back. 5/5 stars.

I stopped by here this past Sunday morning with my wife and twins. We didn't actually mean to come…read moreto Empanadas Monumental but happened to see it while walking around downtown Haverstraw. Since both my wife and I love empanadas we walked in and gave it a try. The inside of the shop wasn't too big and in all honesty I don't remember much about it other than a heated display case full or empanadas and a place to order. After looking at the display case on this morning I ultimately decided to have one ham and cheese, one pizza and one pepperoni and cheese. Now I know those last two aren't traditional flavors but I wanted to give some to my twins and figured that they might enjoy it. In any case the worker plucked my empanadas out of the display and we were on our way only $6 lighter in our pockets. My first bite of the empanada really showed off the dough which I loved as it was light and flaky. The fillings on the inside were good too and both my wife and I enjoyed all of them with my favorite being the pepperoni and cheese. The bottom line for me is that I would absolutely return here again in the future. I really enjoyed the crust of the empanadas and also thought that the fillings were good as well!

We started with the wings in a garlic butter sauce, somehow crispy and very tender. Top 3 wings I've ever had TBH. I got the skirt steak entree and subbed out the beans for tostones. The meat was perfectly cooked and the rice was perfect balance on this side. I did think the tostones could've used a pinch of salt but were very tasty. My bf got the Chicharrón with the yuca fries. The dipping sauce for the fries was next level. He loved the Chicharrón. You can tell everything is fresh. You can easily tell the staff loves this place and takes pride in it, and you can taste that in the food. Will make a trip to Ossining just to go here (the tres leches is calling my name)

I ordered the pollo guisado with white rice and beans and it comes with sweet plantain. I also ordered a tamarind juice. The pollo guisado was very flavorful. The rice was good. I found the beans to be salty. I didn't enjoy the sweet plantains. The tamarind juice was very concentrated. It would be better if it was diluted. There is space to sit down and enjoy a meal. The individual who took my order was very pleasant. I received my meal very quickly. It took approximately 5-10 minutes from when I ordered it. Parking is convenient with metered parking outside the restaurant. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood.
