Rotisserie chicken is always on point. But if you order tostones tell them to make fresh ones because they love to refry old ones.

Arleen T.

Never in my life have I seen such horribly fried chicken. I ordered here today for the first time and I was served refried chicken that was EXTREMELY SALTY and OLD and CHEWY. I literally could not believe it. You can tell they refried it and threw salt on it at the end to give it some razzle dazzle. Because of the taste and how dark the skin is you can tell the oil IS OLD. I ordered from Uber eats and the app did warn me that they were closing soon. BUT DAMN IF THEY DIDNT WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING FRESH JUST CANCEL THE ORDER. DONT SERVE THIS CRAP. The chicken size is also not natural. I thought I was being served turkey wings and thighs. Plus the color of the meat was just weird. Very similar to a dark pink. ALSO THERES RANDOM BURNT CRAP IN MY FRIES??! AND THE FLAN WAS A CAKEY MESS. Do not buy food from here.

Selmy B.

Only going to review the rotisserie chicken. We ordered two to go, cut up and with mojo. My goodness it was so tender and perfectly seasoned. We had a party and everyone enjoyed pieces of the chicken. The skin, which I do not normally eat, was so good. Highly recommend, next party, order the chicken cut up and ready to serve. Your guests will thank you.

I've been eating at Johns friend chicken since i was a kid. First location in Washington Heights back in the 80's (183rd Street and St Nicholas Ave) and when that Place closed down, we would go up to Post Ave, and subsequently, other locations throughout the Heights. I recently found this place and decided to give it a try. Big mistake, for starters the fried chicken was so salty that it was unbearable to eat. I asked for salad instead of French fries, (i figured the chicken was oily enough, that i didn't want more fried stuff) and she told me that there would be a slight up charge, which i didn't mind. When all was said and done, i was charged almost $10 for this meal. The lady before me bought 3pcs with arroz con guandules and red beans and was charged less than $5. When i asked why it was so expensive compared to the person in front of me, i was told that "steamed Vegetables cost more". Look at the pictures, there's one piece of uncooked broccoli and chopped up carrots, cabbage, string beans, and corn, with oil and vinegar dressing. Far from steamed vegetables. Serves me right for trying to do the right thing by my people. See pictures. As i do with every local business, i wish them well but won't patronize them again.

Wow! I haven't had such awful food in the very long time. Food came in luke warm, driver was too dumb to even find the right building, that's last time I'm using Door Dash... dumb and rude driver, there's this thing called navigation, try using it... Chicken was rubbery, pork was burned dried to a crisp. Fries are just fries. Coleslaw was actually good. So thank you for wasting my money and time on such garbage food. Even chicken delight is 100 times better than this pile of garbage.

I found a rubber band in my rice. Absolutely disgusting. Especially in times of Covid19, one would expect the kitchen would have better food safety measures. Now I am forced to throw out the 30+ dollars worth of food I carried out. I won't be visiting this establishment again. My health is much too important.

This was the first restaurant I tried when I moved into the neighborhood. The food is absolutely delicious it reminds me of my country Domenico republic. The food is super flavorful and amazing seasoning. My favorite meal is the rice with black beans, roast pork with vinaigrette onions and the potato salad. They also have really good chicken soup filled with lots of chicken potatoes and carrots. I have also tried their roasted whole chicken and it is delectable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a taste of Latin culture! read more

I ordered for the family's new year celebration but went terribly wrong, my kids and two year old baby, wife and guests had food poisoning on the very first day of 2020. We narrowed it down to the fried rice and oily chicken. To the owners please do not mix old chicken and old rice just to save a little dollars, not worth it. People who ate the chicken and rice were lining up in the bathroom and everyone had their own barf bags. The scene was terrible. I gave these poor kids gatorade to avoid dehydration. What did you guys put in there that was so potent? read more

I was excited to try this place . I got the pernil, rice with peas and red beans . The pork was dry with tough skin . The rice and beans were both flavorless. Somehow my bottled seltzer was also flat and lukewarm . I paid 11.00 for everything, which is more expensive than most places . I would have liked to eat there,rather than bring my food home in the cold. There were only two tables, one with a person eating and other with a guy waiting for his takeout, hogging a seat. There is also a lonely looking back section . I will not be spending money here again . read more

Delicious foods, fresh and reasonably priced, I don't know how I just discovered this place in Cliffside Park. The staff is very friendly and make you feel so welcome. Portions are large for sharing with plenty to take home for later. My dinner companion and I spent $15 and got a feast with leftovers. We tried the Roti and Fried Chicken, Yucca and Tostones. I have been to the location in Union City as well and it is the same food just closer to home. Tonight the FOH was a little warm but the dining area was cooler. We chose to eat in and it was comfortable. There is no parking and that could be a draw back for some but we found a spot right out front. The three piece fried combo I got came with french fries and I asked to substitute rice but they don't substitute at this location. When I asked the same thing in Union City I had no problem. ( that is my only complaint ). Looks like they have some good looking desserts and cold salads as well. They offer free delivery for $20 minimum order. I highly recommend the food it is worth the trip! read more

The food is fantastic and the staff is friendly but their delivery is horrible!!! If they know they have so many deliveries, why not hire an extra person to deliver. My office has ordered a few times from this place. We are literally like 4 blocks away but don't have the time to go pick up the food. We order food that is already out and ready and the delivery still takes over an hour each time. They take way too long to delver and they always get lost. They don't use GPS and ask you a million questions about how to get to your location. I recommend it only if going to the restaurant to eat. read more

We ordered four dishes and cleaned the plates within minutes. As you can see, I only managed to snap one photo--and it was already half eaten! What a treat this place is. Every dish was delicious, and the food tasted fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. The service was warm and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even better. Truly lovely people running a wonderful little restaurant. We will definitely be back! Our four yummy dishes: Seafood with egg-silken tofu. Sautéed angled luffa. Hot and spicy Pork intestines. Sautéed water spinach.

The restaurant itself is a little worn around the edges, and the bar area seems to be a gathering spot for locals, which can feel a bit intimidating if you're visiting from out of town. It's definitely not the place I'd choose for a romantic date night. That said, the food is absolutely worth the visit. They're known for their seafood, and it's easy to see why. The standout for me was the calamari, which completely lived up to its reputation. The rest of the meal was equally satisfying, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. If you're looking for atmosphere, there are probably better options nearby. But if your priority is excellent seafood and classic Italian cooking, this place delivers.

It was hard to hear each other and we were practically sitting on top of each other at the bar area. We also both agreed that the bartender was on coke or something .
