Juancito Macorix Restaurant

I do NOT like this place. I gave is multiple chances. Food is way to greasy and girls have an attitude. Also I don’t like to get into strong opinion type talk here on Unilocal,but I think that if your working a counter in a restaurant, you should know English. Even if its a Spanish restaurant in a predominately Spanish neighborhood. I’m Spanish and I speak it, but sometimes I have trouble getting my point across and confirming that point! I guess I start off on the wrong foot talking English because the counter girls always have an attitude and are rude.
the food: they have your typical Spanish restaurant menu, baked chicken, pernil, pork chops, mofongo, sandwiches, soups and salads. Food is greasy and doesn’t really taste good.
price: average price for your neighborhood spot 5 – 15 bucks for orders with rice and beans.
place is small and food always take forever!
street parking only. I think they deliver.

I went here with a friend the other day. I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a cute lil spot.
From the moment we entered the service was on point. The food was very good. I had the salmon and friend order the grilled chicken. Both orders came with salad. For dessert we ordered the flan which was excellent. I’m picky with my flan so that sealed an excellent dinner for me. :)
This is def one place I will go back to and recommend to friends.

On a recent biking trip of the Highland Park section of Brooklyn, I started to get hungry. Of course, not being familiar with the area, it was hard to find a place to eat. There are a couple of Hispanic diners in this area, so in the interest of time and sanity, we stopped at one so I could eat. Unfortunately, the first place was completely packed, so we headed down the street to Juancito Macorix.
The place was pretty empty, which made me a bit nervous. I tend to think an establishment isn’t quite right when there are no diners just a couple blocks away from a place that is very busy. Anyway, Juan, the owner, was behind the counter and he made us feel right at home. Though the menu has extensive offerings of Dominican food, I couldn’t wait for something to be made. There was a cafeteria style hot bar with a number of choices: beef, chicken, even goat. I went for the stewed chicken over mixed rice. The portion was substantial and the chicken and rice tasty. Definitely filled my belly and made me a happy camper.
Nothing particularly spectacular about this small joint, but it’s worth knowing the food is good enough to eat if you’re looking for options in the area.
