The chicharrones de cerdo and chicharrones de pollo are honestly some of the best around -- super crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The taste is excellent every time. The prices are definitely a little higher compared to other places, and the portions aren't the biggest, but the flavor makes it worth it. We usually dine in and also order takeout, and the experience is always good. The place is clean, service is friendly, and they move fast. The only downside is the parking -- it's tough in this area, especially during busy hours. But even with the parking situation, this spot is still absolutely worth the visit for great Dominican comfort food.

I happened to be searching nearby for Peruvian food and came across Bravazo. While i thought it was…read morea new spot, this pkace hs been opened for a while. We decided to order a 1/2 of rotisserie Peruvian chicken- chicken only ($10). Ceviche clasico ($20) and a side order of plantains ($6) and a bottle of my favorite Peruvian beer cusqueña ($6). We sat down about 6:30pm, the restaurant was relatively empty, seems like ther take out business was moving. We kept noticing people just coming from the outside to use the restroom. Food service was very quick, we noticed the rotisserie chicken breast was a bit dry, the leg and tight seem moist. The tostones were perfectly fried, the ceviches was fine nothing special. The typical green sauce was set in the table and it paired well with the chicken, tostones and ceviche. Overall the menu seems difficult to understand prices. Menu has family meals, and meals that are protein only such as the chicken i ordered. But in my opinion this is confusing, maybe family meals work when you have 4 or more people but for 2, its too much food. Psrking was difficult, when the bill came, the tip is automatically added onto the bill, while i dont have a problem tipping, they should tell you that from the beginning and not just add it to the bill automatically. When the server gave me the bill, they had also made a mistake to charge me for tap water. I went to the counter and i asked why there was a$2 charge for water and they told me it was a mistakebut neither the server or the person ringing the bill caught it, until i told them. I definitely had better Peruvian food but as a last minute decision we ate here because we were visiting my family nearby. I normally goto to Long Island, Ocenaside to eat at Ananau, now this joint the service, ambiance and the food is definitely 5 star. Bravazo did not feel like s restaurant ambiance, felt like a take spot. Dont get me wrong, the server was very nice but i wouldn't come back. While my wife was washing her hands in the restroom, some guy off the street who was not a customer came in loud, and started to bang on the door of the restroom. Nobody in management or even the servers said anything to him, weird situation and what was more disturbing was that he was hanging out at the pizza place next door. During our dinner, i notice people from the pizza place where coming in to use the restrooms in the restaurant.-totally weird.

A colorful plate arrived of squid, shrimp and octopus sitting in lemon and lime and topped with chopped onions accompanied by a boiled potato and a large slice of sweet potato. The ceviche blew my mind. I'd never thought of ceviche as "hearty" before but the flavors were fresh and comforting. I think it may very well be one of the standout menu items. They offer three different varieties here, and I'll keep returning to try them all. I also can't say enough good things about their tamales. I am, by no means, an expert on tamales but I've had enough to know a good one when I taste it. And these rank pretty highly. You must order yourself one when you stop in. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Aside from the ceviche, their primary offerings are their steaks with rice and beans and their previously mentioned roasted chicken. The waitress highly recommended their pollo, saying that they marinated it very well and that it's their most popular item. She showed a lot of enthusiasm and pride in it. And it must be good, how often does a waitress push the cheapest item on the menu? I walk by this restaurant almost every day and their dining room is almost never even half full. I'm not sure how they stay in business. Costa Verde is easily the most underrated restaurant in my neighborhood.

Prices are also really good for the amount of food you get. And everything I've tried has been delicious. The beans though... oh my God. I'm still thinking about the beans. For the amount of food you get for the price, it's amazing! I can't wait to keep ordering from here, and I'm honestly already thinking about placing larger orders for events in the future. If there's one local business in Queens you should support, it's this one. Hands down one of the best Dominican spots!

My wife and I ordered the Lomo Saltado (Carne) and the Pescado Frito (or fried fish chunks). Let me tell - the Lomo Saltado was some of the most flavorful Lomo Saltado I've had in a while. Juicy, well marinated skirt steak accompanied by grilled red onion and tomatoes, on top of a bed of French fries and white rice. They had pickled onions on the side of this dish to really complement the savoriness of the dish with a nice touch of pungent acidity. Well balanced meal. The Pescado Frito came with an abundance of lemons which is a plus if you like to add that to your deep fried fish - as well as some Yucca and your traditional Peruvian sauces (white sauce and red sauce/hot sauce). Both sauces were flavorful and house made. I highly recommend this place, it was clean, service was quick and very hospitable. Our server made sure that we had ample napkins for our meal.

The BBQ chickens were very similar to CL: tender, juicy, and tasty. It also came with green sauce, though not as thick or intense as CL's. Price points were also very comparable.

It's in Woodside, a lot closer than Bayside. - Smaller operation with shorter wait: 20-25 minutes vs. 1-1.5 hours. - More choices of sides: you can get pork fried rice, lo mein, even sweet and sour dishes.

Perhaps I'll have to give them another try sometime given the number of folks that were there.
