Tried this place for the first time for delivery. It took nearly 45 minutes probably because the order taking person does not write down the street name properly. The food was really tasty. The chicken breast with garlic was with a lot of very garlicky (and a little too salty) sauce. It was $12 for the chicken and a side. The side rice and beans' rice was so plenty, that even 3 of us could not finish it. Fried plantain was in a round container with a holed lid to prevent them from getting soggy. Very impressed Steamed vegetable (side) was a good amount with good broccoli flowers, plenty of carrots. Delivery charge was not included so I gave $3 to the delivery person and that made the total $35. Not bad at all considering the quality and quantity. read more

People talk a lot about the shrimp mofungo here, but let's talk about how tender their ribs are! The flan is a bit cakey and not as smooth as others and the rice was unevenly cooked. I would probably order from here again. read more

Nasty Cake replacement. I ordered tres leches cake with my dinner and they didn't even bother to call to say it's not available or to offer a different cake for replacement. Instead, they decided to clean out their fridge and place an old cake with a sell by date TO TODAY. And give me a plain ass chocolate cake instead. I thought .. what the heck, the food was AVERAGE, so I will try the cake out.. because that doesn't mean it's expired. But when I say NASTY, I mean, the cake is so crumbly, it's the same texture as play doh that gets left out of its case for years and you decide to play with it anyway. I've never had a crumbly chocolate cake before. But there's always a first for everything. 2 stars because my chicken mofongo was average, otherwise, this would be a 1 star review! read more

The food is good.... I always go for the chicken noodle soup. Love it... Especially when I'm a lil under the weather it helps me soooo much... I don't know what those ladies put in that soup but it be soooo good... read more

I have no complaints. I've been searching for a decent spanish restaurant and this was absolutely a hit! Small, intimate restaurant. Has about 4 chairs if you wanted to eat real quick. My medium size dish was overflowing. They are super generous with their portions. read more

I was browsing Yelp for something different and stumbled on Ceci's. I ordered the mofongo with pernil and lemon chicken with rice and beans and a cheese empanada. I the mofongo was tasty and hot... nice pieces of pork and it came with a separate bowl of sauce. I enjoyed but of course couldn't finish. The lemon chicken was okay.. they used chicken breast but it would've been better with thighs... more juicy and less chance to dry it out. But the sauce was zesty.. very nice. Beans were good also. The cheeses empanada arrived hot and ready for my mouth! It was so good and light and flaky. I'm almost tempted to order just that next time. Delivery was pretty good, he was nice and everything was wrapped well. Definitely will try again Update-August 28th, 2020- i don't usually come back and rehash reviews but i ordered again today and it was soooo good. My choices today was better than the last time. I ordered the fried chicken chunks and green plantains.. it came with rice and beans and also a side of empanadas. 2 cheese and one beef... the beef was sooo tasty and not overly seasoned but so delicious. The chicken chunks were so good and the beans was awesome. I truly enjoyed this meal!!! Omg... i ordered so much but didn't even eat half... i am beyond stuffed. Will have food for the next two days. But seriously, give this place a try... it's so good and the food was piping hot by the time it got to me read more

I had the Shrimp Mofongo and it was amazing. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, nice and soft and not over cooked. It came in a garlic sauce, which was great. I really enjoyed it. read more

Yelper here that doesn't cook! That would be me. Ceci's is one of my weekday go to restaurants for awesome Spanish eats. I love it one because it's suuuuper cheap. I don't think they know they should charge more for their great pseudo- home cooked food. *shhh* All of the food here taste good and it's not heavily spicy or salty. They have something for whatever works for you, fish, stewed chicken, oxtails. Top it off with rice, sweet plantains, salad and beans. Ahhhh it's perfect. I wish they were on seamless or had delivery to my nabe but it's fine to make it to them. I call ahead, pick it up and leave a tip for the endearing customer service. read more

I read through the reviews and hoped that I could rave about Ceci's but sadly I cannot. After eating the chicken mofongo, I can understand why it is not as popular as the shrimp version. It was bland and dry. I had to use the gravy from another dish to add some life to it. The taste and color of the dish was not appetizing. The chicken empanada was disappointing. Out of the entire takeout order placed, I ONLY liked the half rotisserie chicken with yellow rice and maduras. The search continues... read more

Found this place on yelp. Was looking for a place to eat close to Brookdale Hospital. It's a 15 min walk. Worth it. Staff was friendly. The already out looked delicious but I ordered a monfongo over the phone to pick up. Service was super fast. $10 min to use cards. Food was good. Would def recommend. Only con is it's a small place, not good for big groups, unless you're a taking the food to go. read more

Ceci's Latin Cuisine - Mofongo de chicharron - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A housemate got Ceci's delivered while I was on a conference call and I could barely focus after. The scent of fried chicken made me want to tear my headphones off and immediately ask where she got it from. And much to my pleasure she handed me one of Ceci's ads. Big plus that they're located close to home. Even bigger plus is the fact that they deliver, which means... my first New York delivery experience!! We couldn't find them on GrubHub or Seamless so you gotta call in and order. We ordered a family special -- fried chicken chunks (bone-in), yellow rice, beans, salad, and a 2-liter soda. After we paid the delivery man, we went for it. The chicken was hot and juicy, and when you pair it with the rice and beans it makes for a hearty meal. A meal with a flavor we hadn't really tried yet. Until this point. Give them a call and try for yourself! And while we're in this part of Brooklyn, this'll be our go-to place for a cheap and delicious meal! read more

Ceci's Latin Cuisine - Family Meal #2 - fried chicken chunks (bone-in), yellow rice, beans, fried plantains. Not pictured: salad and 2-liter soda. - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really good food! Definitely recommend the tres leches! They also give large portions. I was able to have food for 2 days.

Food was ok i with order agin the meat could be fried harder. But I loved the pancakes

Fresh mofongo, wonderful hot and fresh rice, beans that sing to you. It's off the beaten path in New Lots, Brooklyn (told ya) but when I'm on that side of town- I run to Ceci's!!!!! I might be a gringo, but I have enough Dominican friends who taught me- when you find a good mofongo place- with the sauce to drizzle over the top- you support! Muy sabroso! read more

As far as Dominican restaurants in the neighborhood I think Ceci's is the best and most consistent. The establishment is clean and the staff have good costumer service. read more

the problem ordering here is they do not read the entire order to get it right or they don't put the entire order for delivery its not the first time or second time its the forth time they hv done this... the other issue is when you order from door dash or postmates it's the fee u pay and then the tip u give and when ur order don't come complete they wanna act like it's ur fault excuse me!! they don't hv a way to redeliver wtf! they lost a great customer bcz im no longer ordering from them i am tired of going through this!!! f*ck ya'll on some real shit! read more

My family and I order from here CONSTANTLY!! and they never fail! The food always delivers quickly and is always piping hot we love the fried boneless chicken, their beans are the bomb! The fried sweet plantains are so good they are just amazing!! read more

Great tasting food and a good amount for the prices. The shrimp monfongo and tres leches is my absolute favorite. How well they are able to pack the meals/plate it for delivery is to be commended. You can tell this is a place that tries. read more

This place is amazing. The restaurant is new amd its an added benefit to the area. I ordered fried Chicken and French fries. The chicken was so incredibly fresh and made to order so there was a wait but who cares. I'm happy that this establishment is in the neighborhood. read more

Hands down the best....only place you need to be eating spanish food!! Chicken is good! Lasagna will put you in a coma! Everything in there will make you shed tears of joy... read more

Driver is butthole I live less than 10 min away and driver refused to make delivery. I hate coming into the restaurant because Ceci's allows patrons to enter without facemasks even though the food is out in the open. The food has its good and bad days & sometimes looks questionable. But its the only spanish restaurant nearby. read more

I never have a problem when I order here. Only Latin food in the area that delivers. My order is alway correct and they arrive quickly!

Love this place. I always get the chunk of chicken with bone in. Not expensive at all. I usually spend 12 bucks which gives you enough food for two people. Delivery is usually approximately 20 to 30 mins. Great pace. read more

The food is great but the delivery guy is rude. I live 7 min away at most and he refused to deliver because he said it was too far. I told him to use a gps to check the distance if he did not believe me ( I mean doesn't everyone use them now it is 2017.) He still insisted it was 20 miles away what a joke! If you want to pick up food its a good last min convenient place. read more

Love this place! This is our go-to spot at work for lunch , and when on the way home for dinner. The service is great and the Latin food is on point read more

Delicious Gluten Free Meals! If you're gluten free and have celiacs this would be a spot to go! They even have gluten free bread at the table to start. Really delicious Alfredo sauce! read more

I wanted some real authentic Dominican food just like back home, and Ceci brought me back to my moms cooking. It was delicious. The place is sooo beautiful, clean and modern and the staff was sooo friendly and helpful. I already ordered 5x so I figure why not review them if I'm enjoying their food so much. read more

Amazing roast chicken, beans and rice. Got a fast delivery at lunchtime. First time trying this place and it was a hit!

This is probably one of the best Spanish food in the area. Portions are very generous and prices are very reasonable. Haven't been disappointed yet and I work in the area and eat here often! read more

They screwed up my order and made what they wanted to make. When I told them my order was wrong the woman said I never said that when I repeated myself more than 3 times. The woman does not understand English very well so you have to continue to repeat your order. The first time I ordered they had to transfer me to someone else because the woman that answered the phone didn't understand English. This is the 3rd time I've ordered from them and the last. The woman was nasty and when I told her my order was wrong and she said she wasn't fixing it. So I told her I wasn't buying it if she didn't correct my order. She said "So." So she lost out on $17 from me plus the food that was ordered by my sister. Bad customer service and they are fairly new to the area. read more

The food is amazing the customer service is great as well however the bake chicken is a lil too salty otherwise then that everything is a good pick. read more
