    White rice & beans w/pig feet
    Racquel P.

    I was out & about , then realized that i haven't eaten all day. An' it was a lil' late in the afternoon for tea& biscuits.lol! So, i decided to just have a whole meal. Some cooked food. Still,I had no idea what I wanted to eat so I just joined the line that was going out the door. I figured " this must be good ". As I was peering over the counter,taking a look at everything, one of the servers greeted me w/ a smile and asked me if I ever had pigs feet. I replied " no " and she handed me a sample and i liked it :-] The server that prepared my food, placed the beans in a seperate container. Everything came up to $11 -- with my drink included. *big portions * pleasant servers * no seating because of covid-19

    Dominican stewed chicken w/ rice & beans.

    Was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and wanted to grab a quick bite. This spot is right across the street from the shopping complex end of the George Washington Bridge bus terminal. For a small container of Dominican stewed chicken with rice and beans, I only paid $7. And it was pretty good. Not the Jamaican style stewed chicken that I prefer, but good nonetheless. You can taste the Caribbean connection.

    One, two... Tierra & Mar is coming for you! HAHAHA! No, for real though... Tierra & Mar is taking business away from every restaurant in the area! I have had Tierra & Mar a few times, and it never disappoints! No matter what time of the day it is, you can count on Tierra & Mar to have a variety of fresh choices! The food is fresh because they continuously have to bring more out, as it gets pretty busy in there!

I also ordered the empanadas which had good dough but the filling was ok. I also had a mocktail which was alright. I had two main entrees one was the steak and shrimp and another was the brick chicken. For dessert, I had the crème brûlée and it was good. I would say the custard part should be thicker. The service was good; I went the day before Valentine's Day. The staff was friendly and I would definitely come back. I did want the burger but they didn't have it. The place is small but is a nice place for a dinner date or solo. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their food. I would come to try more items from their menu.

There's always something new whenever I return home, and this time it was Chez Messy, just around the corner from the 157th Street train station. Perched up upon a small staircase, this two-floor restaurant is intimate, cozy, and deeply sultry. Nestled in the heart of Uptown New York City, a neighborhood known for its Dominican roots and growing diversity, Chez Messy shines as a Spanish Caribbean infused gem that took my breath away. The space feels both refined and familiar, elegant yet soulful. As I sat waiting for my mother, I opened the menu, and immediately everything called my name. Our server Joshua was an absolute delight, attentive, kind, and confident in every recommendation. Antonio, the owner and floor manager, greeted us with charm and poise. Dressed in a sharp suit, he exuded pride and grace, the embodiment of someone who deeply loves what he has created. What touched me most was realizing that this Spanish Caribbean dream of a restaurant is owned and operated by Dominicans. As someone who has traveled the world and eaten in countless hidden gems tucked along cobblestone streets, I can say this place holds its own among the best. We started with a crisp glass of Albariño and dove into the pulpo and mofonguitos filled with ropa vieja. Let me start by saying I'm not typically a red meat superfan, but that evening I was completely transformed. The ropa vieja was tender, savory, juicy, and full of flavor. The plantain cups that held it were subtly sweet, creating a beautiful harmony between bold and delicate notes. The pulpo was perfection, tender octopus paired with a light touch of vinegar and oil, thinly sliced onions, capers, and cherry tomatoes that burst like little jewels of freshness. It was bright, balanced, and refreshing, a perfect prelude to what would become an unforgettable meal. Then came a surprise from Antonio, the avocado salad and batatas bravas, further inviting us into the full Chez Messy experience. I've had batatas bravas in Spain and beyond, but these were divine. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside, with seasoning that danced on the palate. The avocado salad was heaven itself, silky avocado paired with slivers of almonds and a hint of citrus, perhaps grapefruit, creating a beautifully layered bite that was both rich and refreshing. By the time our entrée arrived, filet mignon and shrimp in cream sauce, medium rare, we were already swept away. The filet was tender and bursting with flavor, the shrimp perfectly cooked, and the cream sauce was so delicious that I found myself tempted to lick the plate. Everything about our experience at Chez Messy was divine, from the impeccable service to the romantic, dark, and dreamy ambiance, the vibrant music that moved through the air, and the drinks that sparkled as much as the conversation. Chez Messy is where you go when you want great food in a wonderful location, when you want to feel inspired, seen, and transported. It is a love letter to Spanish Caribbean flavor and Dominican pride, wrapped in elegance and joy. This place deserves to be full every night, though a part of me secretly wants to keep it all to myself.

I felt like a regular in a single visit if that helps you understand how hospitable she was. Even if you don't speak Spanish, you'll receive the same level of care.

I have to start with commending their outstanding hospitality. The ladies who work there make me feel like family whenever I come in and it's a nice, cozy environment when I dine in. I have tried many of their entrees such as stew chicken, pork guisado, oxtail stew, bacalao, chicken soup, plantains and sancocho. Everything is consistently flavorful and their portions are generous. I usually get their passion fruit juice which is refreshing. When I need a pick me up, I opt for a cafe con leche which is a nice strong Bustelo. Thank you, New SF, for being a neighborhood gem. My tummy and heart are always happy when I have their delicious meals.
