    Delicious !!!
    Greg D.

    Super moist rotisserie chicken !!! Definitely ask for extra house chicken dipping sauce .... Pepper steak delicious nice n tender and very tasty and perfectly seasoned ..... Chicharron..... eats just like a tender pork spare rib with a delicious crunch .... House rice with peppers; what can I say .... there rice is nice .... seasoned & cooked perfectly....... Garlic mash with cheddar cheese, Omg off the chain delicious..... O my bad .... I whipped them up myself when I got to add to our Thanksgiving Next day feast ..... I've passed this restaurant dozens of times on my home from work ..... I admired their store front sign really classy looking .... I've seen the place packed out the door & wanted to try this place especially that it's not out of my way home .... what a home run and a great find ..... They have a huge dining room with plenty of seating and decorated very nice .... I will definitely be taking my family to dine in and explore the rest of their menu with hope to give them a fifth star !!!! I found the out going service gentleman to be very polite and professional...... keep in mind I don't speak Spanish they were packed & still took the time to walk me through all their delicious looking food out in their steam table.... just take a look at the pictures .... everything looks so fresh & delicious..... Can't wait to return, my wife & daughter agreed that their food was delicious !!!! Parking could definitely be rough over here at times very congested area so bring someone to sit in the car .... well worth it !!! Thanks, Greg D & family

    This is a Dominican Restaurant & the food and hospitality is amazing. The food is delicious and good size portions. We couldn't finish our food so we brought the rest home. They also do catering and serve alcohol! Definitely recommend!!

    This was my first time eating Dominican food. I love it. It reminds me of Jamaican food but not as seasoned. Their portions are big so you may leave with leftovers. I went twice, so I tried several items and enjoyed them all. The prices are very reasonable for the portion. The staff is friendly and quick to take care of you. If you like alcoholic beverages with your meal, they certainly have options for you, as well as desserts. This is a great place for family dining. It is not large so many people pick up orders or get delivery. The staff speaks predominantly Spanish language, so it helps to have a translator or device to translate. You can definitely order just by showing them what you want. Great place! Loved it! Definitely recommended!

    Horrible food to get delivery from ask for a whole tilapia and got send a fish that looks older than my grandparents so disappointed. Will never again this is a place that you should go buy in person.

    Whole Rotisserie Chicken

    I ordered a whole roast chicken with a side of yellow plantain and got 1/4 chicken and a small amount of maduros that took 40 minutes.

    Grilled Salmon Caulquier Estilo

    Had a Grilled Salmon Dinner on my birthday. With the Coronavirus Pandemic currently taking place, I was unable to take my trip to Morroco that was planned for months. However, Rico Pollo has always been one of the main places that I would come for a decent seafood dinner that isn't just fried. They were actually closed down during the beginning of the pandemic, but I was happy that they opened back up. I recommend this dish to anyone looking for something on the healthier side.

    The costillitas that you simple couldn't eat!!! Threw it out!
    Jackie T.

    This is a very successful restaurant, however, today I went in to get some mango and costilludas, what a huge mistake and mangu, the costillitas were burnt and full of fat, I was hungry so I ended up eating the mangu- look at all the fat and burnt that was inedible!!!! As soon as they start making money the food suffers and they don't care!!!

    What was left of the Moro and steak, small serving is enough for two small people.

    The food is fresh and good. I just wished they spoke more English. I always have to ask a Spanish-speaking customer to translate for me.

    While this isn't the best BBQ I've had (the best I've had were in Texas and Georgia!), this is…read morestill one of the better food spots in Dumbo - it's a touristy area and I've had tons of the overpriced restaurants, treats, and snacks in the area over the years as I took my friends and family. Overall, I'd say that Bark Barbecue is one of the better food spots in all of Dumbo, though still not mindblowing. I went several times at peak dinner service (30+ min wait) and the meat was soft, melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful, and incredible, but I went again around 6pm before peak dinner service (no line, yay!) and noticed the pulled pork was very dry and not as piping hot - definitely had been left out under the heat lamps for a while before I received my order. Pros and cons of the timing, I suppose! Love their BBQ sauce. Drenching the meat is my favorite part. Busy spot in Timeout Market but is always my personal must try if I MUST eat in Dumbo.

    We went around 6pm and they were already out of carnitas and cornbread. The line was long and it…read moretook about 20 minutes, plus Time Out Market was super loud. Brisket was so tender, and I loved getting a piece with both fatty and lean parts. 7.5/10. I tried my friend's chopped chicharron & brisket sandwich, and the chicharron was sooo crispy without tasting greasy. 8/10. Tres Golpes was great when everything was eaten together. The pulled pork itself wasn't anything special, but the sandwich was nice and juicy and loved how the plantain made it sweet. 7/10. Mac & cheese was super cheesy and flavorful, but the texture was way too soft for me. There was even some unmelted cheese that you could mix in. 4/10.

    Good service, the food was flavorless somehow. I'm used to…read morethe spot in the Bronx off of grand concourse (iykyk) so the food I bought from La Isla was disappointing. I was hoping it would be tasty so I could have a new local spot, but I'll keep looking I guess. The amount of food I got for the price wasn't bad. The only thing I can think of that was positive about the food is that the potato ball was alright, I would eat it again.

    Sad to say as someone that is also of Puerto Rican heritage the colorism is real. I stopped by this…read moreplace because I was looking specifically for a Spanish food spot and I saw that this is like a little Puerto Rico in Brooklyn and I thought why not let me sit down for my hour lunch break, and eat here. Very wrong decision I walked in, there was an older woman with her daughter, and the daughter was helping her order her food and they were taken care of. I waited as it was very busy. I will say that. A gentleman walked in also Hispanic, but we can identify and assume what color of skin he was because he sat down right next to me, and the server literally went to him did not even look at me not once and asked him what he wanted and took his sit down order right next to me in front of my face! To my astonishment did not ask me what I wanted so I asked him. Do you not see me sitting here waiting to be served?! He didn't even respond. I was going to continue with my order, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I stood here in front of the establishment to download Yelp again and write this review. !!Please do not come to this establishment and spend your money because they will not respect you especially if you have of darker skin no matter what nationality you are.! Also the front is crowded with drug addicts!
