Grabbed two wings from this spot to make sure it was certified AUTHENTIC and it got the HOOD APPROVAL! Seriously go in here and order 6 piece wings with a sweet potato pie and you will not be disappointed. Just watch out because sometimes they try to charge $1.75 for the pie but you gotta be like "Ayo what you mean $1.75??! $1.50 dats' all I got!!!!" Then the guy will say "okay okay my friend $1.50 for you." Yea... There's a NY thing when it comes to these places, know the prices get the prices. Know the food, good the food.

If I'm Uptown on Dyckman late night, this is my go-to spot, no question. When that hunger hits…read moreafter hours, this place delivers every single time. The cheese sticks are a must when you visit. They are perfectly breaded, fried golden, crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. They come out hot, stretchy, and exactly what you want late at night. Their empanadas? Fire. The beef is juicy and packed with flavor, the chicken one is tender and well-seasoned, and that pink sauce... yeah, that sauce is elite. Creamy, tangy, with just enough kick to make you keep dipping until it's gone. I also ordered the chicken cachapa -- soft, slightly sweet corn pancake, stuffed generously and cooked just right. It's comforting, filling, and hits different when you're craving something authentic. Also on a late night on Dyckman, doesn't get better than this. The juices are fresh and refreshing, the perfect balance to everything savory. Service is quick and straight to the point, exactly what you need whether you're grabbing takeout or sliding into one of the small tables to eat in. The spot itself is small and cozy, no-frills, real neighborhood vibes all day. Overall, this is a classic Dyckman late-night Venezuelan staple. Great food, quick service, and flavors that always come through. If you know, you know.

OUTSTANDING! I'm almost afraid to post how good they are…read more This is not a dine-in eatery. See what you like. Order. Pay, and take out. Been eating there since they opened. Brought a Nigerian doctor there, and he fell in love with the food, also. He said it reminded him of home: the care, seasoning, preparation. When I used to work seven blocks, and two avenues over. I would walk. My co-workers tried the food, then they would buy my meal, IF I walked there to pick up. I got a LOT of exercise. I've brought a lot of people there, back in the day, until our office moved further away. The Mrs. of the business was the sweetest! She a had a great sense of humor, too. She and I used to talk. Years passed, then we had our primary food from Polancos for Thanksgiving; roast chicken & fixins. We're older, now, and don't care for big holiday celebrations. We simply enjoy good food & good company. We brought homemade, old-fashioned 7-Up cake, Ms. Holmes canned collards - we added smoked meats - plenty love, good conversation, then good sleep. I'm an outstanding cook! But I! Am! Tired! The house is empty, and I've run out of gas for cooking for myself. So! Although I'm surrounded by very good Chinese, Jamaican, Dominican, fast-food, etc. I catch the bus in the thunder storm, to "return" to Polancos. The line was so long, I was blocking the door. When I got up to the counter, there was another line formed behind me... out the door. This is my third trip in two weeks. The lettuce is so beautiful, it doesn't look real! That's how VERY fresh it is, along with all of the salad additions, and I'm not a salad person, but I've become one because of the. They have something like an okra stew. Haven't had okra in a billion years, BUT I'LL EAT THEIRS! Their cooking is so magically delicious, you'll be adventurous, and try this, that, and the other! Polancos forever!

This spot has no frills, there's zero ambiance. You walk in, you order, and you walk out. The service? Polite and fast, no complaints. But the most important part? The food SLAPSSS! Now, I won't spill my favorite thing to order (I can't give everything away ), but what I will say is everything I've tried is delicioso and reasonably priced. Some items are even made fresh to order. It be mad packed during lunch time because it hits. Do I recommend it? Sí!!

Gyro King has been a solid place for the hand held goodness since my childhood…read more Not the most ascetically pleasing place showing its age and the amount volume they handle. They serve up serval menu items from pizza, burgers & fries and other on the go staples, and of course those gyros. Strictly a to-go spot except in summer months where you can cop-a-squat @ one of the very unofficial plastic tables and chairs right outside the doors. Top on my list because they actually serve real chicken gyros. They slow cook the chicken on a spinning grill known as the Gyro/Shawarma machine just like the lamb. Where I've witnessed many other spots try to offer frozen "steak'em" like strips when you ask for chicken. Here it's craved right off the machine and tossed a grill to ensure thorough cooking as you order. I'm sure that there are now many other places that are good or even better, but when I rarely have taste for a chicken gyro, GK is what comes to mind. Just A Note: Drivers beware, parking can be an issue and the vultures are always out to grant you with a ticket for your Gyro craving.

Food taste good but everything tastes the same because they only have 1 grill and 1 frier but thats not a bad thing. Their prices change and are handwritten so I feel they change signs depending on the day. And sometimes they dont charge you what the sign says so you have to be careful. They used to have a $1 slice not sure if they do anymore. Their white sauce is the best white sauce in the neighborhood. My teacher used to get pies for us for lunch from there and their pizza is ok. The gyro is amazing and the fries for some reason are great even though they are frozen and come out of a bag - maybe its the grease an putting other stuff in there too that adds to the flavor. I still go there when im in the area even though im not in school anymore.
