This is a Dominican diner. It is not the best one I have ever been to (RIP Punta Cana in Washington Heights, I will never forget you), but it is pretty close. Dominican diners are a nearly perfect food option and this one is no exception. read more

Amazing food, the staff was exceptionally nice and the food tasted incredible. I been living in the neighborhood my whole life and I wish I started coming here sooner. read more

This is not an elegant place and for that reason, it's even more comfortable. I believe the owner was on the premises, and the waitress was great. The food was fabulous and very reasonably priced. read more

My boyfriend took me here just so we could grab something quick to eat. He's eaten here plenty of times before. The roasted chicken was well seasoned. However, they do not give enough red beans with the meal. My boyfriend ordered a side of beans while we were eating because it was too much rice and so little beans. The tostones were thinly sliced which I liked. Service was good. The female worker was kind and attentive. read more

El Nuevo Sabor Latino Restaurant - Tostones - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a grimy hole in the wall that is a secret gem. Just kidding, it's just the former. Only went here because it's close to work. Got sick for an entire week after getting a sealed drink. The exterior must have been unsanitary. read more

This section of Brooklyn - South Park Slope, has changed very much since I lived here on 2004. There was very little there at the time. That excellent pizza shop right next to the Prospect Ave subway stop used to be a totally shitty pizza shop, some of the worst pizza in existance. me: How's the pizza? former roommate: There's too much cheese and it tastes terrible. me: too much cheese? whatever do you mean? former roommate: (trying to sever a bite of pizza with all available, sensible body parts, and gagging) Also, do not live at 147 17th Street, apartment 1C. Besides now knowing never to live in a first floor apartment, also it was unwise to choose an apartment located directly below the Gowanus Expressway, so whenever we attempted to open the windows, we would be bestowed upon a (generally heavy) dusting of traffic soot on our window-sills and floor *gagging*. This generally horrible living situation was exacerbated by my ever increasing depression into what is known as Your First Year In New York Blues. I did not know this would happen. My inability to find a job that suited me, combined with my refusal to furnish the apartment (roommate: "what do you think of this table?" me: "ugh. I hate light wood."), and the overwhelming quandry as to where to go out simply because there were so many choices (usual decision: stay home and watch tv), made for an altogether excruciating experience. Like I said, horrible first year. There were a couple of good things about the neighborhood we lived in: - that 24-hour laundry place on the corner of 18th and 4th. I know it's a chain, and kinda expensive, but one thing I learned from college was it's always best to do your laundry at 1:00 am. - The R train is right there. Now that I've lived in Bed-Stuy/Crown Heights for several years, access to the Q is limited, and missed. - This here restaurant I'm supposed to be reviewing. Located right next to (what used to be, anyway) a gravestone store, I could get a roasted half-chicken with rice and beans for $4.50. They also make some mashed plantain dish that was out of this world. I forget what it's called. They made a decent Cuban. They make good food. I will never again live in Park Slope South, or Park Slope at all. It's a fine starter neighborhood for those scared of Bed Stuy and other real neighborhoods, but I hate it. Although I would eat at El Sabor again. read more

This is my favorite Dominican restaurant in this area. It's a tiny little place and far from fancy but it has the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. Their rice and beans taste very good too. I've liked everything I've ordered but I mostly stick with the chicken ( I love it!). You should order take-out because they only have 4 dinner tables. If you don't speak Spanish, I suggest you go in there and circle what you want from the menu and give it to the waitress to avoid mistakes. The menu is Spanish/English so you'll understand it. If you eat in, service is friendly but slow and they don't refill your water. If you order a drink they assume you don't want water so just ask. read more

This is your typical neighborhood Dominican restaurant (equivalent to your typical neighborhood Chinese take-out) that serves a variety of meats with rice, beans, and/or plantains. With these typical neighborhood stores, I am usually not that picky, and have low expectations, so it's always nice when I find something that sets a particular cheapie apart from the others. With this spot, the quality of the food is above-average. When I come here I usually order either the lunch special ("beef, chicken, or pork with rice and beans" - $5.00) or get a sandwich that comes with either "beef, chicken, or pork" for $4 or $5 dollars. The pernil (pork) is surprisingly tender and juicy for something mass-produced in the morning to last an entire day's orders, and the beef stew is quite tasty, the beef also tender and not rubbery at all. The chicken, however, is only mediocre. The skin with all its spices and roasting tastes great, but the flesh is kind of dry, like it's been sitting under a heat lamp all day. I haven't tried any of their other dishes, since they cost more than $5, and the only reason I eat there is to eat cheap. If I wanted to spend anymore, I'd eat at a normal joint. Thus, I don't have much to say about their ribs, their steak, their fish dishes, though I've seen other people order them and they look pretty good. This place also has beer for $3 or $4 depending on whether its domestic or not. Nice little treat for when you're waiting on them to prepare food (they are a bit slow). Regarding the previous review's comments on the TV - this has definitely got to be the most underused widescreen HD TV in any restaurant. You'd expect some kind of sporting event, but usually it's just the National Geographic channel. I guess if the TV does not suffice while you wait for your order, they do have an interesting juke box full of rocking reggaeton classics. At night, they turn on the dance lights... read more

Went here during my lunch hour, needed cheap food, to kill the hunger away. Chinese or Dominican food? So I opted for DR. This tiny restaurant serves good DR food. I happened to order rabito (oxtail) with rice and beans. The food was OK, the rabito needed more sazon (seasoning). It was bland at times more rubbery than meaty. They were suppose to get 3 stars but the girl who assisted me behind the counter was flirtatious therefore gaining an extra star. Her deep gaze, eye winking and lip licking got me good*. *She also knocked down a couple of dollars from my order, instead of $8, I paid $5, I don't mean to brag, but it must be my Porfirio Rubirosa charm that got me that special price.Thanks SL Restaurant, will be back. read more

Quaint little DR place, very close to a major transit stop...let me tell you, this place is not just a dirty hole-in-the-wall as you would naturally expect. When you walk inside, it is surprisingly very nice, in furnishings and decor! Good flooring and crisp walls. Everything is clean and simple and understated. Not a lot of junk or clutter. Soft lighting and a unified color scheme, should make anyone confident and relaxed as far as eating-in. Food: I ordered steak tacos and found them properly spicy, hearty, filling, and large. Fresh lime/guac. The taco texture itself was soft and wonderful. All in all, this place is refreshing with its attention to authenticity and old-school solid, restaurant service. Two nice latinas (maybe mother and daughter?) attend to everything (and they don't play on their cellphones when you need them alert!) p.s. Spanish-language jukebox! read more

I have eaten here before and the food was fine. Do not order from them for delivery. Second time, chicken not cooked, very pink, half dry. Received about 1/2 spoon of kidney beans with a ton of white rice. This I paid $9 for, lunch special. They can keep it. I called to tell them, they passed me around to 4 people like they don't know what I am talking about, hello you just delivered to me. Then they use an excuse that the girl who made the dish just left. In the garbage, and told them will never eat there again. read more

The food is great, but the service is absolutely terrible. I ordered for take out 2 things and it took more than an hour and a half to be delivered. When I kept calling to check on my order the woman had an attitude and would hang up on me. When I finally got fed up of waiting and called to refund my order, she didn't want to refund me and started speaking over me.. finally saying that the delivery guy was downstairs, when we went to check.. he indeed was; but he did not ring the bell or call us, he was calling the restaurant instead. The food is overall a 3.5 out of 5 but the service is always terrible when I order, so all in all it's not a place I'll be ordering from again. read more

I come over here to get my dominican food fix I always order yuca with Moro it's cheap fast tasty and the servers are very friendly.

i was craving spanish food and it was almost 11:30 pm and this was the only place open still which is considered late for brooklyn. I had never tried it before so it was either eat something else or eat something i crave. When i called the lady on the phone barely understood what i said. I was trying to order for pick up so that it would be ready by the time i got there. And also since they were closing it only made sense. However the lady did not understand me and the music over the phone was very loud. So i drove over there to realize that the two ladies working had been drinking a ton of wine and were tipsy. Even in person they barely understood me. I ordered beef salteado, beef stew, and chicken soup with rice and beans. i'd give the food a 3 star. It's good but i dont know if its good enough for me to go back. After i got home I realized that she did not pack my food well and everything had spilled out! Overall my experience was not that great. read more

I ate here and got super sick, throwing up and all i will never comeback to this place. The place is not taken cared of, its just a trashy place. read more
