This place has been a staple in Bushwick for YEARS and I finally stopped by because I was craving a burger. They renovated a few months ago and it definitely shows. Casual, but good vibes. I got the Dominican burger (which I had to send back at first because they forgot the fried cheese...which is literally what makes it a Dominican burger lol). But once it came back out, it did not disappoint. I slathered that shit with mayo-ketchup, which made it dripping wet in the best way. Highly recommend getting a drink while you're there too since they have a bar. read more

super flavorful and saucy food! yaroas was my favorite a you can pick between a base of fries or sweet plantains (we went with fries) and it basically felt like loaded fries but still super good chicken empanadas was a bit dry but the beef one was great dominicans hot dog was interesting, a lot of different textures but tasty def not a date spot because it will get messy cute store but was a bit hard to communicate with the worker as it seemed like english wasn't her first language (but usually that's when you know the food is gonna be good) read more

Service was great! Super nice. Let us try the different juiced before making a selection, which was very nice of her. You do order in the front then take a seat and they will bring it to you. Ambiance was nice, giving all the Dominican vibes even in the bathroom with the pot sink. Music can be very loud (it didn't bother me but just incase that isn't your vibe) music was good it gave dj vibes without the dj vibes. Look like there may be a dj there not sure what nights so if you are looking for food and party vibes I would recommend finding out the times. Food ... now food I will say was just okay. Nothing memorable. It was on the salty side. Tacos were my least favorite. Mini monfongos was probably my favorite. I'd say I come here for a quick bite and the vibes and not so much the food. The lemonade and passion fruit were good, a little sweet but with a splash of water I'd say it was perfec read more

Late night munchie heaven. Dominican style. Came here with friends after an event. This is exactly what my un-sober self was looking for. They serve traditional fritura which translates to fried food, along with other items. The fried whole fish was great! Ordered with a side of tostones. I also tried the fried fish chunks, those were also pretty fresh. Washed it down with a lime/lemonade and water. All items satisfied. This definitely is a staple if im ever in the area. Quick and yummy. Love the decor. Makes me feel like im in Dominican Republic, very cute. read more

Dear Yelpers, Avoid if you are looking for fast food. Actually just avoid in general. The staff here was very rude and the food was not worth the wait. I got nachos and my friend (K) got a Club Sandwhich we waited over an hour for the food and it was a Togo order. Since it was a long wait I took a set at one of the 3 tables they had. Place wasn't big at all. I do appreciate the decor but the chairs were very uncomfortable and they had a huge speaker blasting music right next to my ear. Def 4 out of 10. I don't recommend. read more

an amazing place with great Ambiance, love to eat here with family and friends, definitely my go to stop and waitress Inoa is super friendly and efficient. read more

The Yaroa is a combination of ripe plantains or French fries, meat, cheese, and sauces like mayonnaise and ketchup. Nothing fancy, but on the palate makes the world tastier. Definitely. Is a common fast-food plate in the Dominican Republic more in the North part that any part of the country. I always love to order the French fries one, with is the best one in my opinion, but this one was not the best one I have eaten but it was very good and the portion was big a bit too pricey but worth it. You also can find a lot of fast food that is very common in the Dominican Republic. read more

This place was a bit better before. I don't know what happened. I've gone recently and they wish to turn it to a small lounge with liquor and dj , I have no issues with this but the food has now changed a bit since it's not their focus , The morir soñando taste horrible I don't know what kind of orange juice or even if they are using oranges for it but taste very tart . the chimi is a bit dry with and more expensive your going to spend 11 for a chimi and 3$ for an empanada de queso that's not even good cheese inside not even melted. I've had better. Just stay focused one the food and lower the got damn music inside to a decent level ! read more

DO NOT ORDER! The worst customer service I've ever encountered in my entire life. The order was delivered incomplete. When we called to address the issue, the woman was incredibly rude. Saying it was our fault for not copying the menu onto the description. Not only was one dish done incorrectly, but there were items missing from our order. Her reply was "I know it went out right because we always send it right". She proceeded to making remarks such as "honey can you read" and "we don't owe you anything". There was no compassion or willingness to admit that the order might be wrong due to human error. She dismissed my complaint and made it clear that they never mess up any order even though, my order was messed up. Lastly, the one thing that did arrive correctly was the steak and plantains, and the plantains were soggy and the steak was chewy and dry. Save yourself the wasted money and disgusting customer service. read more

Picking up empanadas at like 4:30am on a weekend? Awesome! Or even better, burning your mouth on a cassava like 5 times desperately trying to get to the delicious ground beef center. It's totally worth coming here even if you do hurt yourself enjoying it. Also, keep in mind that if you're not on the go, there are tons and tons of great options for you still. I didn't even try the plates or the mofonguitos, and days after leaving, I'm still kicking myself! read more

I'm not the type to leave reviews but I gotta say this for future reference: I will never come back here. Ordered quesadillas, took 20 min. Ordered calamari, soggy. There were more vegetables than there were calamari. Empanadas, for $5? And they weren't even great. The customer service is trash. Hard to even talk to lady. The place was loud with music. So many people were waiting for their order. Will never come back, I'm sorry. Not even sour cream, any sauces, or anything with their food. Spent almost $50 for nothing. read more

Based on takeout order. The staff was super friendly. I haven't been eating out a lot lately but I was hardcore craving a chimi sandwich. Chimi Chicken Sandwich: pretty true to the original so I wasn't very disappointed in that department. Fries (doesn't come with order): some crispy and some a bit soggy. Typical takeout fries. *I'd probably go back for an empanada. I think the chimi here would be so much more enjoyable after a good drunken night :-) read more

The BEST chimis, hands down! Reminds me of the chimis in the Dominican Rep. really recommend!

Disgusted with their customer service they refused to take my friends order because he was black ? What a disgrace. I will make sure I spread the word on every social media platforms Especially the fact that Dominicans are Afro latinos this was a smack in the face. read more

Literally didn't eat any of what I ordered. Not good. Chicken yaroa, and fried chicken which tasted, not fresh . 27$ what a waste.

Rico chimi has good days and bad days, about a few month ago i had a really bad experience, however last night after the bad bunny concert I said, let me just go and get me and my gf some chimis. Idk if I was too lit or what, but these guys did such a good job. My food was ready within 15 mins and not to mention the bread wasn't dry the chicken was well made the bread was nicely toasted. read more

If you need to grab a quick bite in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, Rico Chimi is the spot especially late at night as they close late. Its just like the Rico Chimi in Ozone Park and East New York they both provide an unique Dominican style cheeseburger as well as several other new age Dominican dishes such as: Yaroa: (its essentially a meat dish (choice of chicken, beef, or pork) with a layer of either Platano maduros or fries topped off with cheese and special sauce. Any option is amazing! Picao: a mix of all the meats with onions and peppers surrounded by fried green plantains very good serves 2-3 people. Pastelitos: Chicken and Cheese are amazing a must try, best all around within the area. Also have three Cheese They have many items on their menu your just gonna have to go and check them out! read more

First time eating Dominican fast food and I gotta say...the shit was off the hook. I got some kind of meats inside of mini plantain bowls. Think it started with a "mofo..." Not light, but freakin delish. There was a nice guy working at the register who told me about all the items. Cash only. Open late. read more

Of all the Dominican fast food places in the neighborhood, this is the best. They definitely have it down to a science. I work across the street and it is really hard to resist not dropping by after. My favorite item is the platacones sandwich. It's a sandwich with chicken, pork, or beef with veggies, which all seem really fresh. What makes the sandwich great is the bread which is made out of plantains. Amazing. It's open super late and is a perfect after drinking spot. read more

Food was so so. be careful with prices at this place. prices on menu and screen are not what they charge at register. for example, the chinola drink was listed as $3 but they charged $4.50. additionally, i ordered 3 entrees and charge for each was not what was listed on the screen or menu. when i questioned, was told that they added tax to each item and prices are subject to change, but there was a separate tax charge for the overall bill. also, if you use your credit card, they want you to pay a credit card fee. this place is a big ripoff and not worth it. keep very very far away from this place. food is not even worth it. read more

I drove out from Manhattan to come check out this spot. Saw an Instagram post advertising it. Was very interested to check out a Dominican fast food joint locally. But I'm sorry, I would give zero stars if I could. Few points below. Staff was horrible, rude and paid no attention. Empanadas are huge but empty in the inside. Purchased a beef and cheese mixed. Taste flavorless and I don't have a clue what cheese they used. Told me Mozzarella but I would have to disagree. The chicken on the yaroa taste a few days old. The steak burrito was super disgusting and sloppy. The chimi was dry and over cooked. Also tasted horrible. This on was a waste of time. read more

Esta gente me mandaron uno tostones mal echo lleno de grasa, la carne parese que estaba dañada. Las orejas la mandaron entera la comida estaba bien mal preparada. La persona que trabaja despues de la 12 no merece estar trabajando ahi read more

Food was very tasty and it arrived on time. When the food got to my destination it was still hot so I was able to enjoy it good

I'm still craving their chimi burger. Not much to get for vegetarians, but my girlfriend got the mofogo-burrito (one of the only veggie options) and she loved it. Great place to grab late night food. Place is clean and the music + music video combo is fun. Might be a little intimidating if you don't know Spanish but don't be scared. They will try if you try. read more

I usually come here and I'm ok with the food because it's cheap and fast but today was just too much. I grew up in bushwick so I'm used to attitudes . The person taking orders was extremely rude , acting as if I inconvenienced them . Then someone from the back came to help them person in the front and was touching money with their clothes and didn't bother to change them THEN they were eating with the gloves and in plain sight of the costumers THEN a platano that was already peeled fell on the floor and they picked right back up , cut it and threw it in the fryer , I wanted to throw up that was the nastiest thing I've ever seen . read more

I like everything on the menu. I usually can't get authentic Dominician food like this. Great home made hot sauce. They deliver. read more

Love this local spot! Chicken Chimi always the way to go! Thank you for being open late night

I don't expect to get five star service coming in here but who ever that girl is that works in the front has to be the most nastiest & rudest person I've seen in my life. When she gave me my receipt she threw it & than My friend ordered food & trying to get something added & she gave him attitude saying that in her screen she can't add it mean while right after she could but the attitude levels was insane, than serving the other ppl with attitude after my order was done she started to scream my name like a crazy person never in my life I have experienced something this giving the bag she was throwing it. Than another man that was staying there went to I ask for either his drink or whatever it was & have him attitude as well. I suggest she look for another job or change her attitude because really it's not working. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN! & I'm posting this on all social media disgusting service.... read more

I came here at 3am and had the best Dominican burritos on earth! I will be back next time I visit NY :)

Wa wa waaaaa... The advertising is better than the food. Ordered a chicken burrito and it took 20 mins to be ready. That was first disappointment. And let me tell you bout the burrito, there was more melted mozzarella cheese in there than chicken. There were some traces of a tomato but that was it. So it was grilled cheese wrap with some pieces of chicken and tomato. Won't be back. read more

Pretty good place with a lot of options. The chimi is huge, but the pork was good. My only complaint was that the meat was a little cold in some places. Huge, though, much bigger than I expected. They also have good juice options and good/large empenadas. read more
