Great place in far bushwick/ridgewood! Friendly service and authentic Spanish food. The chicken is a must. Recently added good wine on the menu

I live a few blocks from here and it’s my usual spot to pick up a whole rotisserie chicken on the way home from work when I don’t feel like cooking. They will offer to cut it up for you but the meat is so tender and juicy it just slides off the bones. $ 8 including tax.

I rotisserie chicken is awesome. And the chicken soup is great. I usually order delivery and it’s pretty great as well. Every time I ordered, the food is pretty consistent.

Had breakfast there in the morning. Was treated like a king. The daytime staff was excellent. Warm friendly and made me feel at home. The best part was i had eggs homefries meat tost and coffee and when the bill came it was only 4 dollars! wow. The only reason i did not give it a 5 is that i did not have dinner there. I strive for accuracy.

Good Spanish food — lots of places to choose from in Bushwick but I go here because I live in the area and have come to know the owner. Pros: –Good, flavorful food –New renovation was a great idea. –If you order off of the buffet line, your food will be packed quickly –Priced reasonably and great portion –Pick up is your best option –Beer and sodas you find in the Caribbean Cons: –Credit card minimum –Delivery is a long wait –If you order something that’s not on the buffet line, be prepared to wait –If you don’t speak Spanish, calling to order food will be a fail –Creepy older men linger by the ‘bar’ area –Don’t order late night, the food doesn’t keep well on the hot boilers. Overall, come here for the basics. Rice, beans, rotisserie chicken and plantains. Make sure you pick up or dine in and you’ll enjoy.

Ordered delivery and it took an hour. Got the rotisserie chicken, which was pretty dry but it was only 8 buck so NBD. Probably better dining in and maybe ordering something else.

I absolutely love it here! I first came here over 4 years ago as recommended by my Dominican roommate when I moved into the area. Ever since I’ve moved elsewhere I still come here from time to time even though it takes over half an hour by car! The food is legit. Full of flavor. The prices are incredible too! Great for cheap eats! $ 4 for a breakfast consisting of two eggs, specialty spiced home fries, toast and a hot cup of cinammon coffee! Other specialties to try are the mangu and mofongo topped with sweet red onions and overeasy eggs!

I ordered from on a weeknight around 10:00pm. My food didn’t reach me until ten minutes shy of 1:00am. I found out that not only did the steak come cold(shockingly only the steak came cold), but the delivery guy had rode his bicycle all the way from Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick to Middle Village! He got lost, and had no idea where I was. The restaurant called me the first time around 10:50pm and explained that the delivery guy was lost somewhere on Metropolitan Avenue. So I asked, «Well where on Metropolitan, Because it reached to Jamaica on one end, and goes into Brooklyn on the other.» She said she wasn’t sure and he was really lost. I offered to meet him and gave her a cross street off of Metropolitan near my home, She said she doesn’t know, and I was told she would call me back. I called the restaurant around 11:30pm and asked about my order, The gentlemen could not help me, he said that he left and was not sure about anything else. He just kept saying; «I don’t know, I don’t know» and hung up. I got fed up at this point wanting to go to sleep and just screwing everything but decided to call . She explained that their span of delivery is ridiculously large and that they had to shut it down temporarily until they resolve it. The white rice was good, beans, flan, and steak tasted great and were well seasoned. The Platanos Maduros were burned black, edible, but still burned. I mean like campfire burned. I just squashed them and mixed them with the beans.** The Chicken Mofongo was really dry, there was no sauce or any type of oil given to put on top like there is usually served as an accompaniment. I was given an apology by the owner. I honestly would try this place eating in-house at least once, but never again as delivery. **(Thanks Mom for having lousy to no cooking skills, because of you was I able to eat it.)

Came in here with the Princess last night for dinner. The place was so hot we had to take our order to go. Second time we ate here and the last time was in the winter so that wasnt an issue but what I did notice was just like last time there are clearly drunk people hanging or more like half awake by the bar. First time here we had Mofongo as I had never tried it and she said this place was famous for it, I noticed hey had many varieties on the menu. We got one with pork and I thought it was pretty dry and starchy, not a fan of Mofongo. Last night we ordered the lemon flounder which was a flounder poached in a lemon butter sauce. It was pretty good, tender flaky fish with a nice sauce. Rice and beans were ok and I didnt care for the tostones, I think I just dont like Plantains in general. They play very loud Spanish music so if youre not into that(like me and my non Spanish speaking Newyorican Princess) you may want to get takeout.

This is definitely a stop in for me when I am in Brooklyn. I think the name has changed like 5 times in the last few years but the food has remained equally good. They have great quality Spanish food and its huge portions for reasonable prices. I really like the beans here as well as the fried plantains. You can come in and sit down and order from the menu. They also have a to go counter with some pre made dishes that always look amazing! Also note they have a full bar, a jukebox that places loud music in Spanish and take credit card.
