Yes! That makes more sense. You were coming from Long Island, not going to Long Island. I'd word…read morethe opening like this: We're from Staten Island and were coming from Long Island, and as a Yelper, I decided to look for a Dominican restaurant with great reviews. I searched Yelp for Dominican restaurants and came across El Campeón de Los Pollos--and we were definitely not disappointed! I was especially impressed by how clean the restaurant was. The food was beautifully displayed buffet-style, and everything looked fresh and appetizing. You order and pay at the register, and they serve your food on a tray with your drink. I ordered a lunch with a drink for $16.33, which I thought was very reasonable considering how expensive everything is nowadays. The food was good, the portions were satisfying, and even the bathroom was very clean--which honestly made me happy! I would definitely come back. My only complaint is that it's a little far from me! But if I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop by.

It's right in front of a bus stop and next to a school. There were so many options. I settled for Combo 2, which includes 1 whole chicken, rice, beans, small salad and soda. The chicken was a bit dry and the pieces were huge. The rice and beans were really tasty, the beans had so much flavor. The salad was simple and small. I tried the Colombia coke and it was a cream soda, very refreshing with the meal. I also ordered a medium oxtail with rice and it was $14. The huge amount was pretty worth it. They didn't skimp on the oxtail. It was more on the saltier side, but still very tasty. I will come again when I'm in the neighborhood and tried their soup. Next time I might even get a small size to try a bunch of other options.

The place is pretty large and vast but feels kinda empty, the way how there's space in the middle of the back area, one would think maybe a few live music gigs are played here but I wouldn't know for sure since all of my visits here were around lunchtime. Service while not outstanding was adept enough to be decent. What I had was fairly simple, baked chicken w yellow rice and Peas which is my staple lunch when coming around restaurants like this. A relatively good meal, Chicken was a tad salty and tough but still edible and at the very least, the server could've offered me some hot sauce. All in all, barebones Restaurant with run of the mill yet fairly good food with alright service. The one true bonus is that it's affordable. A meal will run you $15.

Yeah, it's 2 eggs and a slice of cheese on a roll, but the roll is actually properly toasted and the eggs were properly cooked. Goldilocks style. Not too dry, not too wet.

I have been coming to this place since I was a kid, mostly ordering food for delivery to my house…read more The food is generally good; however, lately they have hired a lot of disrespectful people to take orders. They are either dismissive of your requests and send you whatever they feel like, even when you are very specific about what you want, or they take an incredibly long time to deliver your order. At this point, it almost seems intentional. Today, I placed my order at 7:00 p.m. I waited an hour and 17 minutes before calling because I wanted to be considerate, as they often take a long time. I was told my order had left only eight minutes earlier. When another 23 minutes passed (an hour and 40 minutes after I had originally placed my order), I called again. A different employee answered and said she would check on the delivery and call me back. When she called back, she informed me that my order had never been made and asked if I would still like them to prepare and send it. I said yes, but I hoped it would be at no cost given what had happened. She said no. If this had been the first time something like this happened, I would have let it go. Unfortunately, this has become a consistent pattern. I have genuinely tried to be understanding, but it is unfair that I had to wait nearly two hours for food that was never even prepared. I also had to stay up much later than planned while waiting, only to end up ordering from somewhere else. What makes the experience even worse is the complete lack of any effort to make things right for the customer. This is terrible customer service that borders on disrespect toward loyal customers. Although I have been a loyal customer for over two decades, I do not appreciate being treated this way. Good food is not enough to make up for consistently poor service and a lack of respect for your customers.
