Food is typically really good here but the service is always mediocre. Sadly, today I came with…read morefamily and waited over an hour for only two fish orders, two salads and a bunch of sides that were already done. During the hour no one came to ask if we were okay or if we needed anything else as an appetizer as we awaited. I noticed several families be seated and countless to go orders being sent out; however, I arrived with only one couple eating at a table and one to go order ticket up. When I asked how our order was coming along, I was surprised to hear the manager claim he had a lot of orders. Cool update to the restaurant was that they now have cameras all over allowing us to see that the cooks weren't cooking in the back. Lesson learned. Food is good but service isn't so they lost another customer.

I want to say that John's Fried Chicken is perfect lunch / grab and go spot. They offer a plate of…read moretraditional Dominican food where you can choose an option of rice and a protein, but can also add on some side for an extra dollar and change. The Price is very reasonable for the quality and also if you go around the 12pm lunch hour, the food is very fresh. I have never had any stale food from here. Also, they are not stingy with their portions on top the plates of until they can barely close. Quick story- I remember this one time a new lady was serving and i heard them tell her "give him more, don't hold back" and this was without me asking! My go to is usually some arroz morro with either fried fish or beef. It always tastes as good as i remember it! Picture i added was 16$ and definitely was enough to feed two people! Pastelon is not always available but it's a must try if you like cheese and meat. Now the place has some upstairs seating and a few tables but it's not an aesthetic place by any means or that id recommend to sit at. Definitely a to go place as it's very small and can get crowded during peak times. But regardless i like supporting this business as one of my main lunch spots!!! PLEASE NOTE- from reading other reviews it seems this place is not a good "fried chicken" spot, but i have never tried it, it's not the reason i go here for so take that at your own risk.

The 3 ladies who work there are highly unprofessional With very poor customer service skills ! No smiles, No greeting when walking in , attitude while taking orders not to mention rolling eyes or giggling among themselves where you can tell the context of the Conversation is about the customer ! Why make a customer feel uncomfortable? Or discriminated against when they're spending their hardworking money supporting your business in our neighborhood !

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome, like you're a regular even on your first visit. The food is absolutely outstanding fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And I have to talk about that green sauce they serve on the side... whatever magic is in it, I could seriously put it on everything. It's that good. To top it all off, I tried their tres leches cake and it was perfection, moist, rich, and not overly sweet, just the way it should be. Amazing food, wonderful people, and flavors that keep you thinking about your next visit. Highly recommend!

11/10 Rotisserie chicken…read more I watched a Tik Tok recently talking about venturing out to find the best rotisserie chicken in NYC, and Malecon came in at 2nd/3rd. I had to try it out for myself since their #1 spot was really underwhelming. This spot really hit the spot and deserved to replace the #1 spot -- the chicken was moist, flavourful, and fresh. I could see why the lines to get in were so busy, so try to get here before noon, especially on a Saturday. The maduros and yucca fries were also special -- fried just enough to caramelise while also being crispy, my favourite. Affordable? Check. Good vibes? Check. Community staple? Check. Only come if you want to be part of the winning team.

Their Pollo al horno (whole chicken) has that Pollo a la Brasa style and taste and it's amazing. Their bistec encebollado was cooked just right. Their beans delicious and smooth white rice. Tres Colpe (Mangu) was amazing! Plus, they have empanadas and country club sodas. They also do catering and make pernils! Definitely ordering from here more often.
