Not sure if the timing was off or what. The decor is fancy. Wine all over the walls, and in the fridge but what they serve you is those lil barefoots wines that you buy in a 4 pack. The only option from a huge menu was pork, chicken and oxtail. Yellow rice, what Hispanic spot doesnt have white rice on deck? The food is alright nothing to be crazy about. The wait time is lengthy as well. read more

100% Delicias - a menu for a restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Cheap, salty food with a clean/bright ambiance and nice customer service. I wouldn't go back but I understand why someone who is hungry with $10 in their pocket would consider going here. It's inauthentic Dominican food which doesn't appeal to me. read more

Empty restaurant Silvery.. glittery... sparkly Green flashing lights ( gave me a headache) Red and blue flashing lights Quilted pleather, bedazzled seats ( kinda cute tho) Beaded chandeliers Empty Doesn't smell like food Expensive dishes I decided to get appetizers because I didn't want to be disappointed and broke AND still hungry Got a $4.00 stuffed shrimp app and crab empanada (1 only) 1 glass of wine 2 beers Food is no good Bill was $40 Not worth it. But thanks to Yelp, I knew better. I'm really here while my car gets repaired across the street read more

Good music & delicious food. Super cute & chic as well. Good prices & portion too! Neighborhood gem. read more

100% Delicias - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

I tell you, I travelled 45 minutes and stopped in for dinner with the wife, service was HORRIBLE, table cloths dirty, floor dirty and food sucked. They were trying to charge us $15.99 for a plate that looked like they picked it from the dumpster, checkout my pic of the presentation! read more

100% Delicias - This is $16 bucks! Really? i refused to pay for it! - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

So, I stopped here on my whim. I've only been in Boston a few weeks and needed real food after an exhausting day at work. I was heading towards the Chinese food restaurant across the street when, to my surprise, I spotted a Dominican restaurant. I was so excited.. Real Hispanic food was in my future! Being a NewYoRican raised in an Italian neighborhood in the Bronx, my Spanish is conversational at best but I always try to pull as much English out of Spanish speakers as possible. That being said, no one working spoke a lick of English but my waitress certainly tried her best to communicate effectively. The music playing was loud, but you could still see that people were able to hold a conversation comfortably over it. There were a few families at tables and a table of gentlemen all watching the game over beers. I sat at the bar only because I was alone. I throughly read through the menu before placing my order. That night I was on a budget so I went for inexpensive and classic: Mofongo de Pollo and a plate of rice and beans. Both were reasonably priced. I was served in a timely manner and the presentation was just fine. Both plates tasted good but nothing to really brag about. The hook here and reason for my two stars was one smaller kicker that made all the difference. My waitress recommended a passion fruit juice and I said sure. I noticed as she served me in a large glass filled with ice, that it was from a gallon of Tampico. No huge problem there, but when I saw my bill and realized they charged me $4 for 6oz of Tampico, I was completely turned off by the restaurant. I confirmed that the price was correct and payed my bill but considering that the overall experience was lackluster and that I was charged $4 for 6oz of a drink that costs $1+/- for a gallon.. eh, I think I'll pass on coming back. read more

See all

Terrible service , as a Hispanic women I am really disappointed with their service. Has us waiting while they sat at one of the tables and the food was already done. Must do better and I would assume they didn't think I was Hispanic. read more

I was wondering why this place had so many bad reviews... I came here for a event, bought a beer and the waitress kept the change from a $20. I waited as she walked by me a dozen times. I asked her for my change finally and she got upset. I ended up tipping her a few bucks for the beer and canceling my food order... terrible service.... read more

Amazing food! So authentic and full of flavor. Will definitely order again! The owner made sure he took care of us when order was not complete. Soooo Goood! read more

Wow I am extremely disapointed at all the negative reviews this place is getting, I mean if you're Dominican or from the Caribbeans you know how it is when a few of the guys become regulars at a barbershop, a bar or where ever, there will be music and there will be beers, sports, and discussions, its crazy what people call an ambient others are accusing of other things, and to top it off all latinos! Wow! For real like how can you walk in a place and state it as racist starting by the music?? Really! So if im Hispanic and walk in a Jamaican restaurant and hear a Bob Marley joint on I can get a racial tension from it? For real? Or if I walk in a Ihop and Hear some rock I can feel some racial tension? -_- it's all about background and if we went there it would be for the experience and its common to know what to expect. I can understand if you walk in and immediately receive a nasty look from a few people and a waitress but other than this is plain ignorance! Some of the people here are the same type to put their own people down or to work somewhere and see a hispanic person struggling to get some help and nod there head when asked "do you speak spanish" when ever I work at a food joint and see a distinctive race I try to give the best service possible to get a second visit and set the best example possible, this is crazy... Just WOW!! Ive been here twice with zero complaints, very nice waitress, good service, once they fell behind our "Carne frita de cerdo" and send some extra when it was done, on the house. There natural drinks are pretty good too! read more

From the outside this place looks very homey so I was surprised to find white tablecloths, cloth napkins and beverages (whether water, milkshake or beer) being served in large wine glasses when I entered for the first time. The atmosphere is still very casual - the ceiling is fitted with party lights, there's a small space in the corner where I'm assuming they do karaoke and the walls are lined with televisions. As for food, I wasn't a huge fan of the chicharrones de pollo - the fried coating was deliciously crispy and light but the chicken meat had an off-flavor. The pollo guisado hit the spot but I was disappointed at the small portion size. They are very generous with the sides of rice and beans or moro. Pechuga a la plancha and mofongo de pollo are safe bets for a filling meal. I ordered the mofongo for takeout and could smell the garlic through the container which excited the garlic lover in me. I had no issues with the service and this place has one of the nicest bathrooms I've seen in a Dominican restaurant. read more

Food is good! Use them a lot! No delivery on sundays tho, great atmosphere lots of loud music and pretty women!!

First off i ordered my food ahead of time, when i get there it's 2 ppl ahead of me..they looked upset like they had been waiting a while.the worker kept asking what did everyone order..its not finished there...A CAT IS WALKING AROUND THE WHOLE RESTAURANT. Im allergic for starters and it rubbed against me.a uber eats driver came and had to wait 20 mins... AT THIS POINT 30mins has went by, now we are still waiting a lady comes in telling one of the 2 upset ppl to come on dont take the food they took forever.the workers are trying to calm her down...i got my food for $24 i received burnt rice not concon..the rice taste burnt and a little piece of steak and old sweet plantains.NEVER AGAIN..they been slow for years..they only worried about the decor in the place thats it. read more

Overall, the food is good. Service & facetime, when it is available is attentive & well intentioned. I've been through at least 7 times for take out, & I'll continue too mind you, but the feel from most of the dining customers & some of the personnel here has been snobby/stuck up. That said, if you have at least 8-10 minutes, & a good sense of your esteem, then stop by for the moderately priced daily specials. read more

I have been in a lot of Latin places to eat. I mostly look for soups. I ordered some mondongo and it was very salty with not taste, a bunch of black pepper and it didn't look fresh. It's my first time here. The food quality needs to be improved compared to the price it's supposed to be charge . read more

Extremely disappointed with this restaurant, I wait 1 hour to get salty food Never again read more

This place is the worst. Let me first start with the way the waitress look at you the minute you walk in. They are not professional at all they all have attitudes. I asked to speak to the manger because my food was not done correctly and the juice they served me was spoiled. The owner came over with an attitude and was not helpful at all (I wonder where the waitress get their attitude from). There's are a bunch of little kids running around the restaurant and they are not customers they are family members Please don't waste your time or money here. read more

SO, where do i start? I usually order from here when im at work. (My whole team orders together) At first they were pretty good and since we order catering we started ordering daily just for regular lunch. They say 30-40 minutes but end up bringing the food more than 3-4 hours late(its happen more than once) i asked about getting a refund and the lady said no even when it was their own fault the food got sent somewhere else. Food is usually good here all thoe i only order Empanadas other that customer service is awful. If you in a rush and very hungry i suggest you dont order from this place and never mind the delivery. Just order today at 2pm its about to be 4:30pm and still have not recieved the my food + no they refuse to give me a refund. read more

horrible!!!! dont waste your time or money!!!! walked in with my family we was never welcomed then our waiter took 30 minutes to ask us what we like to drink and did not have a high chair so we asked that our food was for take out ,our food took 2 hours !!!! food and drinks....horrible the worse and when i got home to get the food out the bag the food was spilled all over the bag and so little food we had to go out somewhere else to eat never again i will go there !!! i would not even rate it a 1 star that will be too much for that place ...take my advice dont go there it will be money wasted !!!!!! mac donals have better customer service ..... read more

100% Delicias - Where the hell are the $63 worth of food at ???? Horrible never again and i didnt even order drinks wtf !!!! Over the top upset - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

OK, So this place was on my way to work, so i said mmm, let me stop here and get one of the traditional Dominican plates. Let me start by saying it is overprice for the location and the quality.The staff is rude and unprofessional, when i asked if my food was ready i got ignore twice by two different waitress. I order Mofongo (mash plantain with pork), and grilled chicken breast, $25.60 ridiculous. I have order the same meal at similar restaurant in even more upscale neighborhood for way less. When i ask the owner or someone that appear to be he just ignore me and walk away. I also ask if the chicken breast came with the rice and bean as a side order since i was been charge $16 for just the two piece of chicken. she turned and yet again with attitude reply "NO" read more

100% Delicias - Over Price Food!! - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

I really do love and appreciate Dominican food so I was happy to come in with my husband and try this place out. I figured why not go in and support a low key neighborhood restaurant? I couldn't even believe the horrible attitude of our female server as soon as we ordered "waters". First of all, water is recommended in general but don't look at me sideways because I ordered it when I'm visibly 8 months pregnant! That is always going to be my drink of choice. She would literally ask us things while looking away as if she couldn't even handle looking in our direction. I asked for salt for the tostones we ordered and she placed it on the table 5 minutes later while looking away mad careless and said "your salt". It was just so nasty and rude- my husband was so upset. I mean you're a waitress on Hyde Park Ave in the hood practically - let's be a little nicer to customers. The restaurant was empty, you'd think she'd step her game up for a decent tip. I know I most certainly would if I was in that line of work, in a location that I imagine doesn't get a lot of traffic on a normal basis. The food was very good- typical dominican cuisine but after the attitude we had to deal with, Delicias is not worth coming back in to. I really hope the manager/owner checks in on these reviews, clearly there is a consensus with the horrible service. read more

Whoa if I could give this place a 0 I would. The worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Wife took me there for my birthday and on entering the waitress asked my wife if she spoke Spanish. She said no so the waitress told her we could sit wherever we wanted. A gentlemen from the bar gave us menus and walked away. 15 minutes went by and a few more people came in and sat down. She took everybody else order but me and my wifes. Not once did she ever look in our direction or make a attempt to come over to take our order. We got up and left after 20 minutes with no service. I really hope this place closes soon because its just plain awful. Check out all the bad reviews and yet nothing has been done. Do yourself a favor and stay far away. You've been warned!!!!! read more

I came there this evening with my sister and a friend the rice,beans , stew chicken and the side salad was salty and as I was leaving holding the door for my sister and friend the owner came out running and try to pull the door shut on my sisters face The food and service was horrible won't go there again read more

This place has very good food BUT the music is super LOUD I can't even hear myself speak this is a restaurant not a club... and what a coincidence that I always crave something specific and everytime I go they supposedly run out...very frustrating. read more

Food is AMAZING. However, the service is just tacky. You basically seat yourself. The tables have no tablecloths. The menu says they have black beans, but whenever I've asked for them, they say they don't have any. All drinks are served in oversized wine glasses. Music is extremely loud (on occasion). They're in need of some serious training at this restaurant. P.S. Some very funky business is always going on with men sitting at bar (if you know what I mean). read more

Where do I start with Delicias, when I first went to Delicias I wanted to give them a negative zero? I had just started working in Roslindale when I saw a Dominican restaurant during my lunch break, I was so excited, it is the closes thing to Haitian food, I was tired of Chinese and pizza for lunch. Therefore, I am like yea-real food. I go in and immediately, I receive a nasty look from a few people and some waitresses. I stood had the counter and was not acknowledge for 10 minutes and when I finally was, it was by someone who barely spoke a lick of English but I am hungry and I am looking at some people's plate and food looks really good. My lunch break was half an hour; it took a 1-hour to get my food. The food was pretty good compare to what I have been eating, I had promise my self to never return but like I said I needed real food, so like a fool I tried again, but this time I called first, when I got there waited 45 minutes for my food, same look same reaction. This was repeated for a while like I said their food is pretty decent, so I go there with prejudice but then I met a waitress named cookie, who doesn't speak English but try, she is so lovely, that I only go there when she works, I wish she owned the place. She is very attentive and thoughtful. The rest could learn a lot from her. The food is a 4 at best but service from anyone else other then cookie is -2. So I going to be nice and give it a three stars but if all the waitresses were like cookie then they would get a 4 on another note once I ordered chicken patties and they gave me cheese instead, another time I ordered cod fish and find shrimp tale in it (gross) but for the amount of time I been there I will over look it. I will give them 3 stars with prejudice,They're in need of some serious training at this restaurant. read more

100% Delicias - Salmon and sweet plantain - Latin American Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

See all

Pros: There are several inexpensive options on the menu Portions are large The decor was surprisingly nice - I was expecting a take-out kind of place Cons: The service is pretty awful They were out of several items (guava juice and black beans) The mofongo was dry The lighting is distracting (the lights were flickering - whether or not this was intentional is unclear) The music was very loud and more suitable for a club than a restaurant (I went for lunch) read more

This place is terrible. I am Latina but don't look it, and as soon as I walked into this place with a co-worker who is not Latina I felt the racism cutting through the loud music which is so tacky the menu made no sense. Over priced. The waittress is dressed like it's a night club and not for nothing she doesn't speak english and could care less about the menu. We got up and left. They will hopefully go out of business. Looked like a drug dealers hang out if you ask me. Well they didn't get my money. Oh well. One star is too much for this place. read more

Horrible service you guys need customer service training rush. Shame on you owner for having those girl with so little skills.

DONT ORDER FROM HERE I waited an hour and a half and my delivery never arrived, when I called the lady gave me attitude and said "we got tired of calling no one answered the phone" when I never recieved one call or even an attempt from them to get me my order. Not even beep the horn read more

I read the reviews but needed my Dominican food fix and I had the complete opposite experience. They must have listened because the place was clean with nice decor. The waitress was attentive and we were served quickly (yes, we both speak Spanish). My crab empanada appetizer was another pleasant surprise (it's hard to find these). My husband and I ordered the coconut shrimp with tostones which were cooked perfectly and were so tasty he wanted to order another dish! He had a papaya milk shake and I had the morir soñando which were both amazing. Maybe I have different expectations when going to Dominican restaurants (yes the music was loud but that's how we roll) but this was definitely not as bad as I thought it would be based on the reviews. It was actually a pleasant surprise and we will return when we are back in the area. read more

We were staying in an apartment across the street for a few days while on vacation and we ate at Delicias all 3 mornings for breakfast, not always breakfast food. Food was excellent and servers were great. Some dishes made to order so be patient its worth it. read more

Attempted to go here today for my husbands bday with our kids. We were greeted at the door and asked if we speak Spanish. I replied no. We were then told to sit anywhere we like. We picked a table and then menus were brought out. We waited 15-20 minutes without service, water or being checked on. Several parties arrived after us and there order was taken. The waitress even checked on another party to see if there food was ok. After almost 30 minutes of being ignored, we got up and left. A terrible waste of time on my hunnys bday :( read more

My husband, my five year old son and I went to order take out. We had eaten there a little while back and we thought the food was okay as well as the service. We waited while the staff had a chit chat session in the corner of the bar and tried to get their attention. No one paid us any. However as soon as another customer came in who appeared to be Latino, the woman at the counter went right to him to take his order. When we protested and said that we had been waiting and was ahead of this new customer, she ignored us. We were so upset by this, we left. To say the least, we will never go back there because of their lack of customer service to non-Latinos. read more

My first yelp review and honestly, it's because of how poor the service was. We walked in and ordered some drinks to start. It took our waitress almost 10 minutes to bring out our drinks. First red flag there given there was only one other party in the restaurant and we didn't order any alcohol. We ordered food and then proceeded to wait for basically 45-55 minutes. During this whole time, our waitress only came to check on us ONE time. When we tried to flag her down, she proceeded to put her finger up and say one minute as if we were bugging her. When she did come over, I had already put my coat on ready to leave. When we told her how unacceptable the service was, she blamed the kitchen saying the grease was cold so that was where the holdup was. We then proceeded to give her a 5 minute warning and all of a sudden not even two minutes later, the food was done. Wasn't great considering the wait and even when we went to leave she continued blaming the kitchen and stating it wasn't her fault. First and last time here for sure! read more

Okay so at this point I'm very over this place! The restaurant was empty and freaking freezing! I never even got to eat my food after waiting damn near an hour and a half for a plate of stuffed grilled chicken with shrimps. When I got it the plate was warm, no steam or anything as if they had it sitting in the back for a while and had just forgot abt us. My date didn't receive his plate until another 10 min after and we both only ordered GRILLED CHICKEN! (Quick dish). After a complaint they put my plate in the microwave which did absolutely nothing. I left unhappy and still very hungry. I wish I could give them no stars! lol. read more

My first time trying this place! And I'm sad to say I was disappointed! The food was not good n it's over priced! I have gotten better food for less money! I will not be returning! read more

The food has improved here (it was very good) and the cost has gone down. The music was loud but not loud enough where you cant hold a normal conversation. I dropped one star cause i felt the security guard at the door was unnecessary for the time of the day (early evening as opposed to after 10pm). Other than that everything was good. read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere, however, I was not impressed with the food. If the food is improved, it would attract more people. I feel it is somewhat of a hanging spot for drinking and appetizers. read more

My family and I decided to support our neighborhood restaurant Delicias Dominicans. When we enter there was a security guard which suggest they expect trouble or tries to control it. We usually go to all the neighborhood restaurants all over our home town of Boston and have yet to see security in there until they turn nightclub. To have security all day does not make me comfortable to sit and eat here. One doesn't feel welcome at all here there were no smiles or anyone who greeted or showed us to a table. Their customer service skills fell short. When I attempted to order they the young lady kept rolling her eyes and sucking her teeth and informed me they don't have anything i asked for from the menu. I would hope that the owner would want to train his people to understand that we matter. It's the cousmers veiw and experience that matters in this kind of business and if one would like us or anyone to return beside the drug dealers then please train your staff. read more
