Owner Kuri serving authentic Dominican Food!
Joyce C.

Am I in the Lowed East Side NYC?? Or more accurately DR? Super tasty, healthy portions (I hope they still do ok, Rent-wise, with those generous portions), good pricing & container size options. I got the $7.50 medium size & a $2 Beef Empanada. You can mix & match, which was great. Rice & pigeon peas, stew chicken, sautéed Yucca, I asked for "one" shrimp just to try it. Their salmon looked good too-next time. I saw a customer asking to try a bit & they gave a sample of the fish in a tiny cup. The Dominican Cake in the Fridge (is that tres leches?) looks really good- for next time. Interesting Latin sodas also, malta.. I've passed by a few times & they seem to have a steady stream of customers, young families, professionals that work downtown AND phone orders. They have an empanada club card also- too cute. The service is quick & nice, food is extremely fresh and flavorful- I'll be a regular. Supposedly there is Sancocho soup on Saturdays, oxtail sometimes too- that Anthony Bourdain episode in DR has me intrigued. The space is very clean & bright, with a small L shaped counter to eat. Appreciate the little footrest at the counter for us short people. Thank you for Flavor!

Stewed Eggplant

I had Mi Casa at their Farmer's Market stand, so I can't really speak to their ambiance, but the food itself was amazing! Very flavorful, and perfect portion size. The chipotle sauce was really really tasty, and had a nice kick. I got the stewed eggplant over rice and peas and loved it. The woman who was working the stand was also really nice and quick service.

$8 Curry Chicken plate

Great price for such delicious food and large portion sizes! Everything was perfectly seasoned, nothing was overly salted. If you want a home cooked meal you've come to the right place. The tres leche... wow it was gone in 5 minutes. Very light and not overly sweet. Staff was also very warm and inviting.

A small Bodega style food joint. The food is displayed behind glass you just tell them what you want. It's very good and reasonably priced.

Oh Corn! is located right on the river and on a nice day like we had you can sit outside and take in the sights! We started with arepitas, which were fried to perfection and the cheese inside was just right. I got the King Arepa and my friend got the Queen. We both wholly enjoyed our meals. This was such a great little find and kept us full for the rest of the ride home!

This was my first chance to sample any kind of Venezuelan cuisine, and now I'm a fan of arepas.

We started with cocktails, which were generally pleasing. My margarita was served in a beautiful glass, and I liked its tartness. But therein lies, I believe, a missing ingredient. A margarita is supposed to have a combination of tartness and sweetness - usually from agave - and I did not detect the sweetness component. Still, I'd order it again. Our group ordered a variety of arepas, and I went with their Reina/Queen, which is their chicken and avocado arepa. I was expecting it to be chunks of chicken and sections of avocado, I did not realize it was going to be combined more like a chicken/avocado salad... but still delicious. I definitely want to come back for some of those cooked meat arepas. And future visits will include dessert - we didn't order any because we were going elsewhere afterwards, but those all looked decadent. This is a great component to the variety of cuisines available in Troy!

Boyfriend and I were in Albany NY for one night - he wanted to go to Cheesecake Factory, but the…read morewait is apparently typically long on a weekend night (I have no idea - never been there!) so we decided not to chance it, and uber'ed from our hotel to this restaurant, hoping it would be good. I'll be honest - my heart sank as we got there, I almost cried. The neighborhood is *sketch*. The outside of the restaurant didn't look like much - but I felt better once we got in. Beautifully decorated with great lighting, lounge-style atmosphere. Great Latin music. We sat on the bar side as it was less busy. Beautiful bar with lots of options! Bartender made us **amazing** margaritas... omg were they strong! Loved it! Since we had never been there before, we played it safe. First we went with a fried calamari appetizer - not the best, but not bad - but then it's not typically something you'd order at a Mexican food restaurant. Boyfriend had the street steak tacos as main - hold the cheese as he forgot his lactaid, lol - and I had the steak quesadilla. Delicious! We loved it. The steak was especially well seasoned, not overcooked and sides were yummy. We ended the evening with churros - definitely homemade and on par with the ones we love at El Mirador in NH. Boyfriend even took his life in his hands and had some of the ice cream, couldn't resist - it was that good! Overall, as Boyfriend put it - this is absolutely a hidden gem type of spot - service was spectacular, food was delicious and we would totally return! (**Seated next to us were two young women on an obvious first date - girl #1 showed up, then girl #2 showed up a few minutes later with a big bouquet of flowers... what a nice touch! We just wanted to put it out in the universe - we hope you guys make it, you were super cute :)**)

I wanted to give L'Roca five stars because it has so much going for it including a charming staff…read morebut on our particular visit, service was extremely slow. There's also an irony here, because this is the only Capital Region restaurant I've encountered that adds a service charge to the bill of between 15- 20 percent. I'm assuming this is a new practice because service charges-- which are common in cities like Miami-- are not mentioned in any of the previous Yelp reviews for L'Roca. This Latin-American restaurant has been open for about a year. When I looked online, the general explanation for service charges is that restaurants collect these fees to offset operational costs and management has the option to put a portion of the fees towards tips for staff but they don't have to. I asked the servers if that was true and they said yes. So for a meal that basically cost about $60, there was an addition service charge of over $12 and since it appears that only part of it will go towards tips, I paid an additional $10 in hopes that the staff could get a decent tip and with tax my whole meal cost over $90. That was a bit of a surprise. On the bright side, loved the light up menus and the food is great. My friend loved his steak and side dishes. I thought the fried green plantains were especially delicious. I liked the pigeon peas and stew,too. It was a Friday night and I'm glad they were busy but the wait for everything and anything was long. We were shown a table in the back because the seating in the front of the restaurant was almost full. I wasn't upset when it took a while for a server come back to take our orders. But there was also a wait of more than a half hour--perhaps as much as 40 minutes--before the food was served which was unfortunate because my friend was very hungry. The great sound system helped us pass the time. There's even a jukebox. With the dim lighting and the pretty decor, the back room had the feel of a nightclub. We ordered dessert to go but even getting the slice of very good tres leches cake took an additional fifteen minute wait. The kitchen may have been overwhelmed. The two or three servers were at times distracted. They got into conversations together and the bartender had to remind them that customers were waiting to be seated. I saw no apparent manager on duty. I would like to return because I hope the problems are an aberration. Other reviews indicate some service issues but nothing as we experienced. With talented chefs and a friendly staff, I wish them success. I also wish they'd lose the service charges and improve time management.

Absolutely Outstanding Colombian Food!…read more Hands down, some of the best Colombian food we've ever had! The restaurant is small but absolutely beautiful, with a warm, inviting atmosphere. And the music was amazing, it really added to the experience and made us feel like we were transported to Colombia. From the moment we arrived, John Eduard, the owner, and Valentina, our waitress, were absolutely fantastic, warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great experience. I enjoyed the Bandeja Paisa and asked if they could substitute the flank steak for skirt steak. Even though it's not on the menu, they made it happen and it was absolutely delicious! My husband and son had the La Tabla Mixta for Two, and the meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. And the desserts were to die for! Every bite was better than the last. The food, service, hospitality, atmosphere, and attention to detail were all exceptional. We will definitely be coming back every time we're in the area! Highly recommend this little gem to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Colombian food and a truly wonderful dining experience.
