    Ordered through Grubhub. I ordered black beans and got something different. They didn't have the fried pork I ordered so they sent me pernil without even calling to ask if I would like something else, especially since I already ordered pernil too... so I got double pernil that's just silly. The rice was overcooked and just not tasty at all. The très lèches was the saving grace along with the soursop smoothie. The smoothie arrived kind of on the runny side so I put it in the freezer for like 30 mins and it was so much better after.

    Best everything, They have the best mac and cheese they also have oxtail which is sooo good with the empanada and hot sauce , they also have maridin juice and everything which is so good

    This place is near my job so I eat here often. We even catered food before. I love the fish here !! Rice is amazing , pepper steak , chicken. All the goods. Not gonna lie I wanted to try the Mac and cheese but I was scared. I have seen it white then others yellow cheese. i got Turkey wings today and I didn't like them. They looked better than they taste. They don't have a phone number so that's annoying. But the food is very fresh

    4/16/17 I've become a regular since my first visit a few years back. Breakfast sandwiches are the best. My favorite, Egg White, Bacon & Cheese on a Kaiser roll sustains you the whole day! With a café con leche. They have other Breakfast combinations. The Roasted chicken, really flavorful and moist. Chicharrones(Pork & Chicken)s, Pernil, Stir Fried Meat, Fish, Ox Tail. Vegetables and salads& Soups, Beans compliment the menu. Everything is delicious. I have not a bad meal there yet. Fruit juices, the Mango is addictive. The staff is friendly and very efficient. It's mostly a take out place with several in tables that you can seat and enjoy a meal.

    This is one of my favorite Spanish restaurants however today I was beyond furious with the way that the driver spoke to me on 1/24/16 at 1:04pm. I waited over two hours to receive my delivery. I wasn't the least bit surprised with their turn around time because I know that good food shouldn't be rushed. Besides I'm used to their crazy delivery times. I placed my delivery at 11:13am and called back to check how long it'll take at 12:45pm. I was told it's on the way. At 1:04pm I received a phone call that my food is outside. I told him exactly where I was and that I'm not coming outside to pick up my food when I specifically asked for the "delivery" option. The guy goes off on me. He says, "There's snow everywhere. I understand you're inside, but you'll have to come get your food. We all have to get along and work together." My one and only response was, "Why do you have an attitude?!" He claims he didn't have one. I hung up on him, got dressed, wrapped my wet hair in a towel and went outside. At this point I'm ready to confront the delivery guy and speak my peace. I'm sure the little boy that was standing awkwardly with my food in his hand was afraid I was going to go off. To say I am vexed is an understatement. I asked him what was the attitude about? He said it wasn't him but it was his father. I asked him what snow was in the way that he couldn't come around the corner approximately less than a foot to bring me my food. He said they're not obligated to go to the door. I simply told him that's a lie and what would be the point in delivering my food if I have to come outside?! As you all may know, there was no tip given besides telling him that his father needs to man up and handle his own dirty work. I also called and spoke to the manager to complain about that low life. From 4 stars to 1, what a damn shame!!!

    Empanadas carne, chicharrones Pollo sin huesos, ensalada avocado

    Castillo De Pollo translated in English means Castle of Chicken. Delicious meals are prepared for The Queen of Queens here. A fellow Yelper highly recommended Castillo and this has been my go to for delivery dining in the Jamaica area. The quality of the Food at Castillo is great for the cost. For $18 I ordered the boneless fried chicken (chicharrones de Pollo sin huesos), Rice and beans, avocado salad and Empanadas. For the family size quantity you receive(feeds 5), the quality is unmatched. I really appreciate that they do not drown their food in salt or Sazon. Everything is flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The Empanadas are standard and could benefit from some extra seasoning. They offer seasoned chicken and beef with onions and peppers for taste. This is not Mama's Empanadas but you can expect a crisp, moist and tasty empanada. The Boneless fried chicken is delicious. Also simply seasoned and not greasy. The Avocado salad is a staple to finish off your meal. The Delivery and customer service here can be hit or miss. The estimated time of delivery can reach up to about 1 Hour and 15 minutes. Atleast that reassures me my food is hot and freshly prepped. The delivery men may not speak clear English so...have a Spanish dictionary available or step up your Rosetta Stone game.

    This is crazy.. roaches present and the food not on correct temperature
    Ravinesh J.

    I been eating here so long and I find out there is roaches and mice there and also the food not correct temperature.. this is crazy I'm not ever going back there until they fix the problems because I live their food

    Gross

    I ordered chicken empanadas & when i tell you there was literally no meat on the empanadas! Disrespectful I won't waste my time smh. I mean literally not a crumb it was something inside that looked like cheese but that's it . Yes i was so disappointed so i called it in & they did not give me a refund or showed no sympathy when i came all the way back there from already being on my way home. Well that was expected because Even over the phone they seem to act like they were unaware of what i was talking about. I mean I understand things are hard now due to the virus and the time of place we all are in now especially, but the way they went about this was awful & inconsiderate. Considering I am I usual customer.

You come in a stranger, leave as family! Sample Boccadillo Platter good choice to start. Gets your belly ready to experience more delectable delights. Tostones are meant to me Shared. Large, pressed, disk-shaped. Comes with flavored Ajo in Pimenton sauce. Fried Shrimp dish is crunchy, succulent and colossal. Chicharrones de Pollo was plenty for two to share. The Arroz Amarillo and Frijoles Negro are stars on their own! Paella Mariana could use a little more love, as it needed more seasoning. The clams were a tad tough. Looked for the soccarat but none. Can't beat the regular or golden Sangrias. Overall, our family's been coming for 20+ years and we'll ALWAYS choose Cabana!

The salad was plentiful with fruit. The guava dressing is so sweet and right and perfect with the charred grilled juicy chicken. My favorite part of the ceviche was the chunks of fish and it's served with yucca chips(I wish there were a little more). The maduros a classic staple you can't go without. The service was steady and never pushy. The sangria seemed popular and I def will order some the next time!

We didn't eat, my reviews is for the drinks, ambiance, and rooftop views. Rooftop view gets 4 stars because there is another place that I consider the best. 4 is still great for a night out and fresh air with that excellent romantic ambiance. The inside decor is gorgeous and classy. There is a notice in the lobby about the dress code, is not for the casual look, call ahead and find you before you showed up to prevent access due to the dressing code. New Year our group was out for the whole night so after 12 am, we had to go ti another spot. I wish we could had stayed here all night. Drinks were excellent in presentation and taste. Absolutely great for every kind of meeting, business, friend, family, or romance.

    Different menus all three times I've returned and Same star rating…read more At this point I am begging my friends NOT to have their birthday dinners here. PLEASE! On a positive note, the shrimp is probably the best menu item. Seasoned well and the sauce is great. I'd pass on the elote. It is crusted with seaweed which is just weird to me ...but if you like that then hey. The chips with the guac was a miss this time. The teriyaki chicken was cool The chicken chili fried rice was undercooked. And once again the branzino was an absolute miss. All around not one single person liked it . As far as the sides the sweet plantains were great . The mashed potatoes were terrible. I had to show the manager . There was nothing smooth and creamy about this. I literally cut it with a knife. She said wow ok I see . And gave us complimentary shrimp because of it. The desserts are a hard pass . Cheesecake and molten lava cake and just nothing special . The cheesecake is grainy . You can feel the sugar in your mouth. And the chocolate molten cake is a microwaved something if you want to call it cake . Our server was very responsive to our requests. I just wouldn't willingly come here again. Gave it the good ole three tries and now I can confidently say I'm good off it . Don't need to come back . I've had enough strobe lights and loud music. Shout out to the dancers tho! Bravo PS. The bar is top tier . If they opened the restaurant only for bar service, then I would certainly come in for that. Shout out to the elite bar tenders.

That makes no sense, especially considering how quickly I called back. Even more concerning, when I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, I was told there wasn't one available. That's unacceptable for any business. Instead of helping resolve a simple issue, they made it unnecessarily complicated. Customer service here needs serious improvement.

I was impressed by the large variety of options on this menu. I ordered an empanada to start followed by a mini bandeja. There was nothing mini about it! As you can see by the pic, portion size are not skimpy. Overall, the dish was good, only thing I would change was the steak. Had a little too much fat for my liking. But the chicharron and frijoles were great. The jugo de guanabana was delicious. Empanada was good too, though I would've liked a bit more of a flavor kick. They have a few tables and bar area for indoor dining and a covered section outside. Restaurant was busy, with customers dining in or picking up orders. Seems like a staple for the local community which is great to see. Service was friendly and moderately paced. Will return if in the area!
