The food is Peruvian, very simple but tasty. There are quite a few side dishes to compliment the main dish. It would be nice if Juanitas Chicken came a side of Stewed Beans & Rice or Sweet or Regular Fried Plantains instead of having to purchase these items separately. Also the Steak Strips come with both French Fries & White Rice. It should be one or the other. The desserts are very good. My favorite is the Tartufo (ice cream in a chocolate shell topped with a cherry ). A nice place to eat.

So when I pulled to the BX, I saw Komeme Ahora and knew I had to have it. A play on the words "eat me now" in Spanish, Komeme Ahora has been for just about a year. After checking their menu, I noticed they served just about all the classic dishes that have become popular over the years. I made sure to order ahead of time so that I could beat the dinner rush. The place is tiny, I imagine it's a takeout heavy spot, save for a few dine-in tables. Food wise, everything was on point. I really love their extra salty espaguetis (#1), complete with olives and a hearty heap of pasta coated in a thick red sauce. I was especially happy to down their arroz con pollo as well as their pernil over rice. The papa rellena con carne was a greasy, yet indulgent and was the size of a baseball. Wash it all down with a motor soñando or a parcha (passion fruit), and life is good. Breakfast lovers will appreciate their tres golpes, a simple plate of two eggs, two fried cheeses, and two salami. Jamon, tocino and or longanisa is also available. Mofongo is also a staple, which for me is best served with cheese and chicharron. I managed to score their tres leches, which was mild in terms of sweetness. I eventually realized that it's not made in-house but by a bakery in the neighborhood. I thought the customer service was friendly and The vibes were definitely of a quality neighborhood Dominican spot that I long for in my own neighborhood. I can't wait to come back sometime soon, and by then I will order the whole menu. __________ (#1) Dominican spaghetti.

I do wish they could have some printed full menus just because I am old. Good for groups and takeout service is quick. I'll be back for the rest of the menu.

I decided to try El Imperial for lunch and was extremely disappointed. I ordered the Bacalao…read moreGuisado (stewed salt fish), which cost me $13--already overpriced considering salt fish is one of the cheapest fish you can buy, yet somehow it cost more than roasted chicken. When I opened my meal, I found there was barely any stew at all--just mostly dry, chewy salt fish on plain white rice. Anyone who knows this dish knows the whole point is the stew. To make matters worse, the salt fish itself was over-chewy, even by salt fish standards, and just not good. I actually had to drive back to ask for the stew, and while the server was polite, the explanation made no sense: I was told I "had to ask for it." It's stew salt fish--that should never be optional. Overall, this meal was a complete waste of $13. Between the poor preparation, lack of value, and disappointing experience, I won't be returning to El Imperial.

My friends and I arrived at Sho J Oregano's Crescent Avenue location at approximately 9:45 PM. The restaurant's posted closing time was 10:00 PM, yet we were told they would not seat us. Disappointed but willing to give them another chance, we paid for a taxi to their White Plains Road location, which was listed as being open until 11:00 PM. We arrived around 10:00 PM only to be told that they were also closed and would not serve us. The result? We wasted time, money on transportation, and an entire evening chasing a meal at a restaurant that was supposedly open. What made the experience even more disappointing was the response after I shared my review. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or apologizing for the confusion, the restaurant chose to challenge my account. I have no reason to misrepresent what happened. My review reflects exactly what my group experienced that evening. This isn't about expecting to be served after closing. It's about arriving during the posted business hours at two separate locations and being turned away both times. If the kitchen closes early or there is a last-seating policy, that information should be clearly posted online and at the restaurant. Customers shouldn't have to guess whether "open" actually means the business is still serving guests. For a restaurant that has received so much praise, I expected far better customer service and accountability. Great food can earn awards, but honesty, consistency, and respect for customers are what earn loyalty. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend making a special trip here unless you're prepared for the possibility that the posted hours may not reflect when they'll actually serve customers.

I had the Dominican Benedict and my friend had the chicken and waffle. Neither of them even had salt, just bland and flavorless. We had 2 pitchers of the bottomless sangria. The first pitcher was okay but the second seemed watered down. It just felt like we drank water and ate cardboard. The place itself was decent nothing too wow. The only plus of the whole experience was the DJ playing good music. Other than that there was no real reason to be there. The servers were nice. Overall we won't be back, for the price we paid here we could of got a better experience somewhere else. (Tip is included already!!)
