I was entirely unfamiliar with what they had on for dinner walking in here. I had to ask what everything was. They were nice and told me what things were. I had seafood soup, rice, some kind of beef thing, and a flan. The soup had a little bit of spice heat, not too much. Very rich broth. If there were any menus or prices or anything in the restaurant I couldn't find them, but it's all good. It's a little pricey for a guy from Mississippi but probably priced about right for New York City. read more

LaGuardia Cafe - Seafood soup, rice, some beef thingy, flan. - Spanish Near Me - East Elmhurst, New York

This cafe was near our air bnb so we had to try it. The food is behind a glass buffet style and I had no idea how much stuff or how much a plate was, so we just went for it. We got a plate of Spanish rice and chicken in a broth of chili and cumin. Tender and delicious. We also got the chicken soup. It was just ok, needed more salt and seasoning for our liking. The red beans we got were very similar to ranch style beans and were very good. The plantains were great. A little container for $7. They also have a case of numerous desserts. We got the chocolate mouse cake. It was very light. We got a few days later the pineapple coconut cake. Very good. The ladies working there were very friendly. First night our total for food was $36 and the cake a few night later was $7. Small area to eat in but we took everything to go read more

This has become my go-to spot whenever I'm flying out of LaGuardia. It's right on the way to the airport, super convenient, and the food is always authentic and flavorful. Sometimes I'll grab a quick breakfast on the way in, and other times I'll pick up dinner on the way home. I've eaten here countless times, but most recently I had the shrimp mofongo, fried pork chops, and empanadas...all so delicious. I called ahead to place my order, and while there was still a short wait, everything came out fresh, and I'll gladly wait for that. Just a heads-up: like everywhere else, prices have gone up. Also, what you see online doesn't always match the in-store pricing, so keep that in mind. read more

I happened on this place while working in the area decided to stop by for a quick bite. The food was pretty good I got the ribs with rice. The service was good not as friendly as other places almost rush you out. The ambiance is just like a regulars bodega vibe. read more

What an amazing find! LaGuradia Cafe was recommended to me by my hotel, and they were absolutely right. I ordered the shrimp dinner, which included rice, beans, and salad. It was easily a dinner for two. The shrimp were perfectly prepared in an absolutely delicious spicy sauce. I added some of the rice to made a delicious combination. I travel all the time, and I notice the small things. They take great steps to source their ingredients. The salad was exceptionally fresh, along with everything else. The LaGuardia Cafe is a short walk from the Hampton Inn, and you will be amazed at the dinner you bring home. read more

Been coming to this establishment since they opened. Employees have changed over several times. The service is still always too notch. Today I had the pepper steak and rice and peas. Along with a large chicken soup. The portions are still huge. The food was till quite tasty, but you could tell it's not the same chef. My issue is the price. The prices have seemed to double. I understand inflation, but this is beyond that. Even the prices of the lunch special increased drastically. I'd probably return because of the quality and taste of the food. read more

Just a few blocks from LaGuardia Airport, LaGuardia Cafe has Puerto Rican food hot and ready. A hot bar has meals ready to go for most of the day or you can order off of the menu. Plenty of local traffic getting filling meals. I haven't had mofongo for several years and made the walk on a long layover in New York. Far better than anything in the airport. I would also eat here on an airport layover. Nice ladies working the counter and as long as you are off peak hours there should be some seating available. read more

Recientemente tuve una experiencia decepcionante en La Guardia Cafe. Mientras esperaba en la fila para hacer mi pedido, un cliente se adelantó sin darse cuenta. Lamentablemente, la empleada que nos atendía no hizo nada al respecto y procedió a tomar su pedido, ignorando que yo había estado esperando primero. Esto me pareció muy irrespetuoso y me dejó frustrado por la falta de consideración hacia la organización de la fila y la equidad con los clientes. Espero que el personal pueda estar más atento a este tipo de situaciones en el futuro para garantizar una mejor experiencia para todos los clientes. I recently had a disappointing experience at La Guardia Cafe. While waiting in line to place my order, a customer cut in front of me without realizing it. Unfortunately, the staff member assisting us did not address the situation and proceeded to take his order, ignoring the fact that I had been waiting first. This felt very disrespectful and left me frustrated with the lack of consideration for proper line etiquette and customer fairness. I hope the staff can be more attentive to these kinds of situations in the future to ensure a better experience for all customers. read more

The first time I tried to go to LaGuardoa Cafe I got in town too late. This time I arrived at the airport at 6:30, was hungry and knew I could make it there. So glad we made it! We got the beef and pork with yellow rice. It was SO good. I also ordered a chicken and cheese empanada. Holy moly! They were gigantic, fresh and delicious. The staff were fantastic and so helpful. It's a small location, so not too many places to sit, but we got lucky. The prices were also very reasonable. Super happy I got there and recommend going to give it a try if you're in Queens near the airport. read more

I disapprove of this place the service the food I went in there at 8:15 in the morning order the pancake deluxe. I did not receive my order till 840 Mind you I'm not upset that other people was coming in and getting their food before me because they have the food laid out in front But 35 minutes to make three pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage was already cooked 35 minutes trash read more

Home cooked and amazing. Chicken legs on rice with plantains and beans were insanely great - how do you get Michelin level out of simple ingredients - just great stuff and nice staff. read more

Highly rated cafe in a hard-to-get-to part of the city. Outside seating under the awning was closed due to the cold weather, so had to make do with the limited table seating inside. Menu is next to the cash register if necessary, while several food items are behind the counter in hearing trays for buffet style plates. Opted for the Cheese Empanada ($2.50), Egg + Cheese Sandwich ($4), and a Coffee ($2). Empanada is your basic fare, not great and an even amount of melted cheese inside. Sandwich comes out a bit later - good seasoning in the eggs, and again a balanced amount of cheese. Bread is fresh and buttered well. No frills spot with great prices and quick service. A nice place to stop before a trip in the morning. read more

What a surprising, and an amazing Dominican breakfast! Was on my way to pick up a friend at LaGuardia Airport and found this on yelp. Sat down and asked for suggestions. Lady explained the Triple Play/3 Golpes with Mashed Green Plantains. Was not familiar with MGP, she gave a sample (nice size). It was delicious! The 3 Golpes are fried cheese, fried eggs and fried salami...fantastic and highly recommended! read more

I wish I had more time in the mornings to stop by this Dominican restaurant by LGA Airport for their breakfast before going to work. This tiny restaurant is not really located by a lot of foot traffic. Literally feels like middle of nowhere. I'm here for their Dominican breakfast, Tres Golpes. I'm hungry just thinking about it.

There is not really any food walkable from the Lga airport hotels except LaGuardia cafe. It's a little Spanish place that has a meanie and a prepared food section with beef chicken shrimp Etc. I ordered grilled chicken, came out quickly with grilled onions. I got three breasts and it was $10. Great value. Chicken was really good and tender. Great place to grab food if your near the airport. Filled with local workers at lunch time. read more

With work, I often find myself in East Elmhurst a handful times a month. Over the years of coming here, the LaGuardia Cafe has been an ABSOLUTE STAPLE of my visits. Everything on the menu from the grilled chicken sandwich to the stewed chicken with rice and beans, is made with real heart and soul. The staff is always amazingly friendly making you feel like a regular to the restaurant whether it's your first time, or millionth. On my most recent visit i was fortunate enough to meet the owner, who was the full embodiment of this neighborhood gem. 5 Stars isn't nearly enough to explain the feeling of being in such great food and company! read more

This is my second time visiting this establishment. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. You can sit inside if you'd like, which I normally do, but the majority of patrons take-out. They are always busy, and look to have lots of locals, which is always a good sign. The owner or manager always greets me and ensures everything is good! The food is always fresh tasting and HOT, for me very important. The portions are large and affordable. I had the bacalao, fish rice, maduros , veggies and a cafe con leche. Definitely come back! read more

I honestly don't know how this place has anything over 2 stars. The food is below average (my husbands rice was flavorless, the beans needed help, the chicken stew didn't even have potatoes or carrots, etc) and it's overpriced!!! Sorry but I don't recommend this place. read more

I ordered breakfast from here. The food is decent and the prices are pretty good. I had pancakes, two eggs with home fries, and chicken empanadas. The pancakes are pretty good and big. One order comes with three. The two eggs and home fries combo comes with toast. The eggs and home fries were also pretty good, but the toast wasn't. The chicken empanadas are huge but I found bones in mine. Be careful when eating them! The meat was also dry and could use more flavor. If you are ordering take-out or delivery they don't give utensils unless asked. read more

Ok, first the food is authentic and AWESOME! Three of us sat outside and enjoyed chicken mofongo, garlic shrimp & beans/rice. Rachely was our server and I think a family member. Sweet, bright smile and great customer service. Did I mention the food? This is a small place with 2 four tops outside and maybe 6 four tops inside. Since it was a great afternoon we ate outside. Very pleasant with friendly locals walking by. Rachely started us with a chicken soup with fresh limes, something we didn't order but was fantastic. We all said we could have that alone, but we were eager to try our entrees. The three of us split the two entrees and we brought leftovers back to the hotel. Real deal here. Flavors were just great. Highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered Pollo Guisado (chicken stew) and arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas). The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The chicken was tender, and the rice was cooked well. Unfortunately the gravy from the pollo guisado was extremely salty and it overpowered the whole dish. There were also small bones in the gravy so be aware of that as well. I am hoping that the other dishes are not as salty as what i had today. Overall experience 3/5 read more

After a full day of traveling the family wanted some good food after we arrived at the hotel. After a short 10 minute walk we arrived and everyone was happy with the selections available. We chose a family dinner consisting of rice, beans, salad, sweet plantains, and whole chicken. We added a side of plantains and some pork. The plantains were freshly made, the beans were stewed and the pork was marinated. For our first meal in NYC this one was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. I can see my family returning on the way to the airport. read more

ANYONE who is craving for real Dominican food, this is THE place to have your dinner. Tonight I came with my sister and brother in law who are visiting from the West coast. If you are looking for comida casera or comida criolla, you must try their pernil. Mofongo de chicharrón was on point! Tasty, crunchy, savory, tender, juicy....the arroz con habichuela, OMG! We just felt like we were back to the DR at one of those homey restaurant. The service was great! Thank you Jenny, Nelson, and Sam for treating us so warmly. Thank you for serving us extra food and your home made bbq ribs. The desserts were delicious! Don't know what else I could brave about this restaurant. This restaurant will be my favorite spot to grab a meal whenever I'm craving again for Dominican food. Next I have to try their breakfast, their 3 golpes looked delicious on the pictures. read more
