I wish I ate bell peppers, because a lot of their dishes have them. So even on a limited selection for me, they always have Plenty of fresh variety. If you are lucky enough to be there when the fried, butterfly shrimp tray comes out, be prepared for a "Wall Street like" experience to erupt! Lol. I have had amazing Yucca, beef patties, fried shrimp, pulled chicken and 12 things I can't pronounce! They don't have signage and if you speak Spanish you can order in Spanish also. Best hot food you can buy and you get charged by the container load, so you get nice portions for the money. If they were going to fix anything, they would have better signage that explains what everything is. But it gives it a mystery appeal I guess that makes it desirable. Definitely eat here for the ultimate bodega hot food experience.

This is a local bodega serving Dominican food. It's clearly a neighborhood staple, with a steady…read moreflow of customers coming in on their lunch break. I stopped in to grab something quick. They offer a large plate for $14.99 and a small starting at $9, which comes with rice, beans, and a choice of meat. There are also fried empanadas and a cold salad section available. I ordered arroz con gandules, beans, and half of a small roasted chicken. The food wasn't as hot as I expected for items sitting on the line. Flavor-wise, it was decent but nothing that stood out. Pricing felt a little high--my large meal and a Coke came out to just under $19 with tax. I'd probably stop by again if I was in a rush and craving Spanish food, but overall it was a lackluster experience.

This place never disappoints and the food here is always very flavorful and cooked to perfection. What I really love about this place, is it brings me back to my childhood hood growing up in queens. The only thing that changed from my childhood is the prices lol but the food is amazing. Stew chicken is so tender and packing so much flavor. Nothing here is lacking flavor and seasoning. If you love Dominican food like i do I highly recommend this spot. Their fried chicken is top tier and my wife's favorite. Very crispy and fried to perfection with unmatched flavor. Chimi sandwich and empanadas are amazing as well. Definitely check this place out and give them a try.

It had been a while since I'd been back, but the food tasted just as good as I remembered. We ordered a few Cuban sandwiches, some empanadas, and a small platter with assorted meats to share. Everything was delicious and brought back so many good memories. There's something really special about going back to places that were part of your routine growing up, and La Cubanita still delivers the same great flavors I remembered. I'm so glad I stopped in, and it made me really happy to experience it again.

After Mike took over the restaurant and transformed it into Zest, we try to make the trip to Bay Shore from out east as often as possible -- often meeting friends from Nassau, as it is a good halfway point. The brunch is phenomenal -- full of flavor. If you are a picky eater like my wife and I are, do yourself a favor and trust Chef Mike and his vision and get a meal as designed. While I have not had a bad experience yet with anything I have ordered, my favorite item on the menu is the Caesar salad (he puts Bacon in it!). If you are looking for a restaurant with a very cool vibe but not a crazy party scene, head on down to Zest in Bay Shore. Have some fun with the menu -- you will not be disappointed.

Most recently, I got grilled artichokes, eggplant parmigiana, asparagus, semolina bread, rice balls with spinach and fresh mozzarella! I also got some little red peppers that were stuffed with an herb cheese. I've never seen tried them before and I was given one to sample in the store. I should have gotten more because they were amazing. Not hot but sweet. I also got some green ones that had a breadcrumb mixture inside, they were a little hot but nothing outrageous. I come here once or twice a month to get some things for myself and for my father in law, I can honestly say that I've never had anything that I didn't like!

I had a passion fruit margarita which was good. We also ordered mango habanero wings which were also good. For the entree I had to try their steak Caesar wrap with fried sweet plantains. The steak was soft and juicy, and the Caesar salad was flavorful. The sweet plantains on the side just connected all the dots for me. Our server Kelly was friendly and genuine, and came to check on us to make sure everything was good. Considering this is where my brother met his wife, it was great to celebrate the moment where they first fell in love. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something new on the menu!

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *Place was pretty empty on a Sunday evening. Price - ~$110 (appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, tip) Better spots in Patchogue. Food: 3/5 - food is pretty lackluster taste-wise but makes up for in portion size. The food has that typical restaurant-like taste where if it were frozen, I would not be surprised. However the portions are massive, spent around $20-$25 on nachos and entree and both were huge. Drinks were very good, Guava Mojito was top notch. Service: 2/5 - was debating giving a 1 here but held off. Didn't get our servers name, forgot waters after asking twice, food came out right on top of one another. Overall lame. Probably the worst part. Ambiance: 2/5 - inside itself was fine but the vibe was low and there were a number of flys around our table. The place also felt pretty lifeless. Felt like my girlfriend and I were the only people having a conversation in the whole place. Just felt cold inside. Overall: 2/5 - possibly would return for takeout only and looking to grub on a lot of food. But not dine-in. Would rather other spots in Patchogue. Best Dish - Guava mojito Would Return - Probably not

Everyone working is so helpful and nice they don't rush you at all. My server Brianna was so sweet and gave amazing service!

Tasted so fresh nice and warm and the fries were actually unreal, chicken soup was also phenomenal 10/10 overall, also super clean inside!

The food tasted like it was drenched in a grill solution that many restaurants buy for the flat top such as "whirl butter". Everything tasted like it was marinated in this oil that made us both very sick. We both only ate about 25% of our food as it was full of oil grease and the most disgusting taste we have ever experienced. When bringing to the attention of an employee the answer was shoulders that shook! Really! WTH man was it someone's kid cooking in the kitchen was the staff runners waiter etc just didn't give a f_k??? Never ever ever again. You lost a great old time customer. Yelpers, theres many diners to choose from. Go to Embassy in Bethpage. Atleast if there's ever an issue Gus or his son will do right. This place has gone down in quality and service. Stay away from Terrace Diner unless you are clogged in your intestines and want a real quick fix of the runs. Next call is to the DOH if not better in morning

Please note that each occasion was all catering for family and group events of 15-50 people. The food is amazing. They have a catering menu with plenty of selections. One of the events was for a family gathering, we just didn't feel like cooking for the 20 family members that we were planning to have over the house. This was a great option for us. Each time the food was cooked as requested. I will advise to always plan for a slight delay when picking up your food if is for a large group. For me it has always been about 15 min. This place is full service restaurant with plenty of seating and food to go. The establishment is also equipped with a separate room for small events or large family dinners. We have enjoyed the food and service at this location.
