Omggggg this place is the real deal. The beans were stellar. The chicken and pork were unreallllll. Get extra plantains, you won't regret it. Everything had so much flavor and was so affordable too. For four people's huge portions of food it was under $60. read more

After seeing this many times from my co workers, i finally got to Rice and Beans. My co worker got it for me as takeout (so I can't rate the inside/service), so this is just strictly based on the food. The container was packed and very neatly packaged. The chicken is just as flavorful as it looks, however the rice and the beans didn't match. It lacked the authenticity that I was looking for, but the chicken carried the meal! I will be getting chicken from here again yes, if it's sold alone. read more

Great service and delicious food. My daughter has an egg allergy and they were meticulous in ensuring that we were able to get food that she could eat without cross contamination with my son's food. read more

Ok ok, my first time having Monfongo and it won't be my last time. The food from this place is good. The only downside was the salad it wasn't good .maybe because I didn't have dressing but it wasn't good. The monfingo was good I should have asked for some garlic but it was good. read more

Rice and Beans Restaurant - Mofongo con Pollo - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On our recent trip and staying in the Marriot one day I decided to try it for a late lunch (take out only). For $10 you are getting a lot of rice, 2 decent size chicken parts and beans. Water I have to get across at the bodega for $1. So all in all, it was OK for a one time occasion, would I eat here again, probably not. There are more then enough good places one block up on Fifth avenue. read more

I'm genuinely pissed off I just paid 14 dollars for a tray of mostly rice, literally 2 plantains, and some beans. I swear a small platter didn't cost me that last week unless pepper steak is more than beef stew. I did say beef stew which they didn't have right now. Im mad that I said beef stew ahead and she didn't say anything until after my tray was full. I decided to take her suggestion for peppersteak... I still high key want my 14 dollars back though because 14? The pepper steak is very tough and not at all like beef stew in anyway, simple not for me personally.. I am very upset. Anyway, the portions sizes are pretty good aside. The location is conveniently close to the train station and work lunch. I'd give 5/10 on taste overall. Maybe they are just not for me. Edit. After attempting to eat the food, I only got more upset. This was my 3rd time here and my absolute last. Now both me and my tummy are annoyed. read more

Rice and Beans Restaurant - Pernil with rice and beans - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Do not get the Mangu. One piece of fried cheese, 2 pieces of salami, and 2 fried eggs with yolk fully cooked well done. The Mangu had chunks of unmashed plantains without flavor and the red onions were not pickled and half an inch to an inch thick. It's the small platter for $13 - worst Mangu I've ever had. read more

Exactly what it says: rice and beans. Great food and good portions. It's a small space so you're probably better off taking it somewhere else to eat during a lunch break because it'll be packed. I'm a sucker for plantains and they're delicious here. I got the pepper steak, not as tender as I would have liked but good enough. read more

Tiny restaurant with a steam table and delicious food items. I stayed for the lunch special and ate along side some construction workers. I ordered the roast pork with beans and white rice. It was so delicious and savory. I am glad I stumbled upon it for my lunch break. read more

Rice and Beans Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My go to lunch spot on my break, until yesterday.....Yesterday after I finished my route I decided to dine in. Boy oh boy was that a bad idea. As I'm wrapping up my lunch I see a little creature ( A mice) running back and forth around the restaurant. I tried to keep my composure, but I was very disgusted and disappointed. I really kissed because the food is actually decent. Smh read more

Just don't get the torta. It says it comes with beans + avocado, but it comes with neither. They will even upgrade you to "with fries" without you asking to squeeze an extra 4-5 dollars from you. Ask me how I know. The fries were tasty though. read more

This place is terrible, period. What actually attracted me to this place was the name. I mean honestly, who doesn't love rice & beans? I decided to order the chicken with rice & beans and the empanadas. The empanadas were barely filled. The chicken and the rice & beans were BLAND. How could a place called rice & beans have beans that awful. I was so unimpressed I ended up eating a few bites and throwing the rest in the garbage. To make matters worse the lady up front wasn't friendly either. It's a no for me!!! read more

hi, my fellow foodies. I'm New York visiting, and I wanted some Spanish food so we found this restaurant on Yelp. Called Rice and Beans restaurant. The food is delicious its old-school food. Nothing spectacular. It's down to earth good eats. There's a scene in ratatouille the movie where the food credit visit the restaurant, and the chef makes a dish that was made specially for him. The dish was ratatouille, and he said it reminds him of his mothers cooking when he was a little boy. This is what this fool remind me of, great cooking. Nothing spectacular. Just great down home down cooking. The food is excellent. Everyone should try it. read more

Literally satisfied a craving I didn't know I had! Perfect chicken and immaculate flavor- new park slope favorite read more

Im gonna start by saying what is great about the place - close to a train station, comfortable seating, nice staff, and some decent food. But perhaps because it is close to a train station you get the flies. Especially in this summer they love the smells this place is cooking up. I cannot stand those flies though. Ya gotta get them gone as best as possible. Luckily they do not end up in the food. They just linger in the doorway making my only entrance to get here not possible, unless you wanna chomp one between your teeth on the way in. But the ladies behind this stand know their food. They're great, the flies are not. read more

I have eaten both inside (before the pandemic) and more recently have bought food to take out, and both times the food was delicious. I got carne guisada, rice and beans, and maduros. I would have eaten the containers if I could. The place looks like your average Dominican joint, but the food is a cut above. read more

Good and cheap, which is something I always look for when in the mood for some Spanish food. Yomaris restaurant is very rare in Park slope, the last of just 2 or 3 Caribbean Spanish restaurants left in the neighborhood. Lunch specials are available daily, you have many options to choose from, from Pernil (roast pork) to baked chicken, ribs, oxtail, even stewed fish. Plenty to choose from, all paired with rice and beans and sweet plantains, a complete lunch all for under $8. A complete meal that will leave you sleepy after. They are open for breakfast and dinner as well, I recommend stoping in early in the morning for a typical Dominican breakfast called "Mangu", smashed green plantains with fried eggs, Dominican fried salami, pickled onions and fried cheese. Really good, but again, it will leave you sleepy after lol. Good, cheap and plenty. read more

Was craving sancocho saw on the menu that they usually serve it on Monday's. walked 4 blocks to my destination asked the young lady behind the counter if they have sancocho she says no so I ask for stew chicken & yuca she charged me $9 for a small order the yuca was raw so was the chicken I was hoping for it to be full of flavor! I was so disappointed! this will be my first & last time doing to rice & beans!! read more

I grew up in the South Bronx during the seventies, when the South Bronx was REALLY the South Bronx. This place brings me back to that time when Salsa Vieja rocked the joint, not the hizzee. The Pernil is so delicious that I sometimes have to cross the street to keep from going in there every day. Likewise for the Pollo Guisada. The sides (rice, beans, plátano dulce, etc.) are both fly AND fresh, franchise. Never get the chicharrón. For two reasons, please don't. For one thing, less for me. For another, it is another addiction. Fried pork skin with meat and bone attached. Get this with rice and beans. Less than seven bucks and enough for two meals. They also have a reasonably priced breakfast. I get the egg and cheese on a roll with a coffee - $3.50. Get there early, they close at around eight and run out of food. read more

Good food, but the service...ugh. Either we hit a busy time or just did not luck out. A few friends and I went here to grab a bite to go during a jaunt over at Mission Dolores. We ordered our pretty simple orders: some tacos and an order of mofongo, and we were told 20 minutes. We waited close to an hour. It's a good thing the food was great! It was one of the better batches of mofongo with chicharron that I've had, loaded with great red beef gravy and avocados. After years of living in Washington Heights and Inwood, I'd like to think I know good mofongo, haha, and this was definitely up there! I even had enough left over for lunch next day! My friend had great and loaded nachos, and others enjoyed their tacos, loaded with large chunks of juicy meat. I just can't get over that wait! Eh. It happens. read more

Really really good Spanish food. It's a small hole int he wall place, they have a sit down area but I always get food to go here. Super cheap and super delicious! The chicken empanada is awesome. Lots of flavor on the pulled chicken, the bread to meat ratio was great. I always check for sweet fried plantains here. They don't always have it but when they do they are yummy. Super ripe and sweet! I often get their rice and beans and it is delicious. Been trying to catch their bacalao (stewed fish) but they always run out when I get there. It looks really good. If you want really good and really authentic and cheap spanish food go here! It's small, dingy, a bit gritty and oh so fantastic! read more

They know what they doing, make good food with women wearing very little clothes to serve the food so that customers come. The food is on point, I always order what they have out on hot plates because the service will be quicker. All they need to do is serve it. I had Ox tail, empanadas, chicken, tendon soup, tripe soup, spaghetti and they all are good. The price for an average meal is about $7. It's very close to Fulton street and a small restaurant that you should stop by. read more

Roast pork ($7), nicely prepared, but not particularly interesting. The beans! Amazing and saucy. Awesome value when you just need to sit down and stuff your freaking face! read more

The food is amazing and great for a quick bite as you pass by! Highly recommend if you are willing to put up with annoyingly bitter and ill-mannered staff.. wouldn't hurt to smile. read more

I work in the area and was starving because I didn't bring my lunch from home today... I was in the mood for baked chicken and a co-worker told me to check this place out ..... when I got there the line was long , and the place isn't that big ... however I quickly realized the line was for take out .. so I was seated and my order was taken by a nice young lady and she provided excellent customer waitress service ... i ordered baked chicken with yellow rice and sweet plantains ... food was delicious, cooked well and I recommend this place for your enjoyment read more

Unpretentious, inexpensive, and delicious. This hole-in-the-wall spot to eat has straightforward, simple meals that are chock full of flavor and piled high with enough food to fill you up for well under $10. I walked past this place many many times before deciding to try it, based on a review i read on Yelp. My favorite lunches are the roasted pork and the half chicken, about $7-8. Try it when you don't want to wait 20 min. for overpriced tacos served with an attitude from Wa Hock Ah down the street. read more

yo yomaris, yo mamas calling ya! she wants the good stuff- not the pastelitos de carne. she wants the pernil tan sabroso con arroz y habichuela! yo yomaris , where is that girl? yo mamas callin ya! read more

Love this place. Everything is good. The stand outs are the beef stew, the yellow chicken and the potato balls. But I have enjoyed everything I have tasted read more

The food is good but god is the service bad and totally unable to give accurate ETAs. Repeatedly had food quoted at 10 minutes or less go past 30 minutes before I simply walked out. Ridiculous. read more

It may be because I'm not used to this type of Hispanic food, or my taste buds are untrained, but this stuff is In particular the stuff that's on the steam tables. Nice good, clean power lunches here. Come here JUUUST about everyday for my lunch break, if I don't feel like being very adventurous. read more

This is a cheap, no frills, Latin take-out restaurant. (However, there is some seating.) The food reminds me of home style Dominican food and is very tasty. You can get a platter with rice for around $5. Their beef empandas are really good and decent sized. It's the flour kind (i.e. not made of corn). Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and in the mood for Latin food with no frills. Not a typical place for a date though. read more

Tasty, cheap, authentic, meaty and a bit of a dive - was such a perfect place to happen upon on a frigid winter day. We had chicken stew, yellow rice, sweet plantains and a side of yucca. So delicious. A little tip - skip the menu and check out what they offer behind the counter, since that's where all the dishes are simmering away. Order what looks good - like the stews! read more

This place was authentic and delicious! Great lunch spot for a small group of people to sit and eat fairly quickly. Loved it.

Service isn't on point. But the food is. We get the oxtail and goat specials and both are delicious. Served w a lot of yellow rice some beans, very tasty and a great bargain. read more

The chicken is dry and the pork is still a little hard and dry. But the taste is nice and the price is worthy read more

Rice and Beans Restaurant - Number 8 "special of the day " - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I go there regularly (2-3 times a week) for my pernil, rice, and plantains. It's a no frills restaurant that has fast service and good food. It can get busy for lunch but I usually manage to get a seat. I'm having pernil and rice right now, savoring the crunch of the skin as I write. read more

I pass by every day on my way to work .. And I always see it busy inside so I never bother, one day as I'm passing I see it empty so I run in and it smells like home food tastes like home food and one of the best Spanish restaurants I've ever tried. They are amazing and fresh, I always get the fried filet and rice beans with Manduros .. Prices are incredible highly recommend ! read more

This is another one of those rock-bottom, unpretentious, 'keepin' it real' places --where you ought not to go if you're demanding, snooty, entitled, privileged, or possess any other of the typical bourgeois, Park Sloper, power-consumer traits. In that case, this place is not for you. They will not cater to your whims and demands, here. They will not coddle you. There is no fine decor or ornaments or amenities. Its a simple greasy spoon type place. Linoleum floor, rickety tables. A couple of cute counter-girls. There's a jukebox, but no TVs. You come here for cheap, filling spicy, food. From the tiny kitchen in back come simple, flavorful, plates of sizzling Mexican food. Not gourmet. Hearty. Working-class Mexican food. Fresh cilantro, fresh limes, fresh guac on everything. There's a fridge case with a few sodas, and three choices of bottled beer. Filling meals under $10. And that's it. That's the long and the short of it. Don't come here with your silly laptops, don't come here looking to cross your legs, lean back, gossiping-- godamn feeble palsies. This is a working man's eatery. read more
