This is not a full 1/2 tray fir what you charged
Maura D.

We've always ordered from here and have enjoyed the food in the past, but this time was very disappointing. I placed a large order for our staff, and unfortunately, the quality just wasn't there. The food looked good, but the taste didn't match. The tostones were dry and hard, like they had been microwaved, and the pollo horneado had no flavor. Both the white rice and the moro de guandules were bland, and the chicken was dry. The sweet plantains were the only item that was somewhat okay. Everything was just too dry overall. This didn't taste like the Dominican food we know and love. The one bright spot was the ordering process, the young lady I spoke with was incredibly pleasant and professional. I really appreciated how helpful she was.

I ordered a Superbowl Football party tray for a company party and it was a hit. The new management went above and beyond on the quality of the food and delivery service. We need to continue to support our local small business.

I have to say the same thing about the Tostones. These things are ridiculously dry/overcooked smh.

We ordered the chicharrón de pollo tonight and unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. The chicken was severely overcooked--dry, tough, and completely flavorless, almost like biting into a hockey puck. I heard the restaurant is under new management, and while I wasn't a fan of the previous manager (the woman with the short hair who wasn't exactly friendly), the food back then was much better. We used to appreciate that they used clean ingredients--like turmeric for natural coloring--but it seems that's no longer the case. The tostones were also overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting around all day. Overall, the quality of the food just wasn't there tonight. We spent around $100 and sadly didn't enjoy any part of the meal. We're not the type to call and complain or try to get something for free--we genuinely want to support small businesses--but this experience needs to be acknowledged. Something in the kitchen clearly has changed, and not for the better. Last year, Lola's was right up there with Caridad as having the best Dominican food in Yonkers--some would even say their chicharrón was better. But now, I've got to give that title back to Caridad. Please, do better. We want to keep coming back, but the quality has to return.

Very bad customer service. Was a customer for many years, but the owner and her lack of people skills made it hard to continue going there.

We no longer have to go to the Bronx for Puerto Rican food because it's all here. This brother and…read moresister duo cook like they're back in the homeland making their mama's down-home Puerto Rican meals- but still keeping up with the different Vegan and Vegetarian eating lifestyles. Amidst a pub, animal hospital, smoke shop and a few other storefronts, is El Cantito Cafe on Central Ave in Yonkers. No reservations, just walk in. But the lady on the phone said to come right away and grab the only 2-seater available. Bet. Tito Rojas, Victor Manuelle and other Salseros were blasting up in this joint when we came on a Friday night. Debbie as it turns out, is the sister in this duo and greeted us like we've been long-time friends- and our table was in fact waiting for us. Large framed photographs of Puerto Rico and Vejigantes decorate Cantito's dark grey walls. Our Mojito and Lemonade Spiked with Coconut something had strength but had too much ice. Service was excellent and so friendly. Our server was a sweetheart and the brother in this partnership, greeted us. My Creole Shrimp with a side of white rice/red beans was good. Hubs liked his fried pork chunks and remembers that particular taste and seasoning growing up. Typical Puerto Rican mofongo calls for chicharrón in it- but Cantito doesn't include any which is a great, creative-thinking Vegan move for a classic dish like this one. I'm not sure what else I can say about this Puerto Rican spot, except for the fact that the food is tasty, you're greeted like family (hubs felt right at home) and the music is banging.

I will definitely be telling everyone in the world about this gem…read more We watched an episode of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay and El Cantito Cafe was the most memorable and heartwarming episode I've ever watched. So we visited and had an amazing meal. Even better, we got to meet the most humble and appreciative people ever, Debbie and Julio Santana are charming. I urge everyone I know to take a trip and have a great meal while supporting a deserving family owned business.

Dominican restaurants in the White Plains area (and a bit beyond) are few and far between. So when…read moreone opens, I want to experience how my people are cooking or doctoring up the foods I grew up with. Plus, I've had Gustico on my radar ever since they opened down on Central Ave in Yonkers a few years ago. Despite their current average rating, they're still a firm favorite so decided on take out. The space is small with their food warmers taking up a lot of space on the right. A few high top tables on the left and lots of tropical faux greenery to invite you further in. Gustico has all the hearty Dominican staples- think: sancocho, stewed goat, stewed fish with coconut, chicharrones de cerdo (fried pork chunks), etc. The seafood though, isn't offered daily as menu might suggest as the restaurant may not have received their supply for the day. That was the case when I came here and was told they didn't receive the fish because of the rainstorm. I ordered yellow rice- that looked like white rice doused in yellow food coloring, a container of white rice, a small container of each of black and red beans. Both beans were tasty- but the thinly sliced celery in each threw me off since traditional Dominican cooking doesn't call for that and I also picked up baked chicken for hubs which he liked a lot. Tamarind and Passion fruit juices were the real thing- maybe way tooo sweet- but tasty. Don't pay any mind to their strip small location, come for the soul-soothing Dominican stews+other foods and warm service practically all year round. However, aside from their 3+ year mark, Gustico needs to straighten out themselves big time and not cut corners because it seems EVERYBODY is complaining about them. Just do better.

The truth is that I was not expecting much. Typically, these kinds of establishments are all the…read moresame. Good food, good prices, in and out and 0 service. Since I'm with my family, service must be included. I was so disappointed when we received great service. Food was delicious and cheap. The space has 3 tables, tiny. They should take advantage of the summer and put some tables outside. They were featured in the Westchester Magazine and don't disappoint. Supporting local businesses is what the game is about. Glad the business is thriving and doing great.

I was sick and in need of a good soup. On top of that I really did not want to drive anywhere. I…read morewanted a soup like how my mom and grandma would make it back home. But being a resident of Mt Vernon for almost 2 years, I can't say I knew of any good Spanish restaurant. Figured I'd give yelp a try to see what I could find. Came across this little jem and let's just say that soup hit the spot!! And the Morir soñando is so good. Their freshly squeezed orange juice is definitely a must too to top off the whole order. Delivery was prompt, so I totally enjoyed the hot food. Thank you. Can't wait to dine in one day.

The waitresses are not the friendliest. ( it may be a woman thing) I have visited this restaurant…read moremany times solo and with my family ( large groups ). My issue is every time I go to eat and it's time to pay, they charge me a different price every time. Saturday 10/3 I went to order tres Golpes and a coffee ( by the way I order the same thing ( EVERY TIME I GO THERE)! I was charged an additional $1.50 for the aluminum tray and the lid. I sucked it up( paid) because that's what I wanted to eat. But how I go today and I decided to eat my food at restaurant AND still got charged an additional $1.50 because it was 1:30 pm meanwhile the tray with the mango was at the display of food!!! Again I had to suck it up. But the fact that the waitress just decided what they want to charge is wild. A few people I know go there and when I told them about my issue. Their respond was Oh No! That's bullsh!!!!!!!!!!. So I personally will no longer go there to eat.
