    el metal que me llego en el pollo estaba dentro lo saque cuando quería servir la cena

    fui a comprar un pollo y cuando llegue a casa el pollo no estaba bien cocido y tenia un enorme pedazo de metal el mismo que usan cuando asan los pollos. llame al manager y ella me dijo que eso era muy común que pase y que como era un metal grande no hay problema porque nadie se puede atorar o atragantar con el . lo peor de todo me pregunto si yo vivía lejos para mandar a recoger el fierro porque eso lo usan para asar los pollos ... ni una disculpa no se preocupo por mi molestia ni trato de hacer nada su mayor preocupación fue el metal que lo quería de regreso . Irónicamente fue mi primera vez comprando algo en ese lugar

    Old maduros
    Freckles Z.

    Food was cold and it seem they gave us the rice that had been sitting there for a while so it was hard. I ordered maduros and they send me shitty old maduros that were sitting there Arrozfor a minute and it was cold n nasty. so yes I was very disappointed. Their food sucks, never again. You pay $55.00 to get cold old food. Fml and I called to complain and they didn't cared,, I won't ever order food from here they suck. They also made me wait 55 minutes for food. The chicken was salty n dry

    Chicken flavored Cardboard, with a glaze, bone in.
    Yesenia P.

    I used to be a fan of the Malecon chain and had been a loyal customer of the original for many years, especially for their rotisserie chicken. However, every time I order from this Yonkers location, weather it's delivery or takeout, the CHICKEN is SO DRY AND SALTY that it might as well be cardboard. It isn't even edible! If you like your rotisserie chicken to have shrunk and taste like dry salty cardboard, be sure to stop by this Yonkers establishment anytime and order "pollo al horno".

    Grilled pork chops served fresh and sizzling
    Bing R.

    Most things are ready to serve. But the grilled pork chops is worth waiting for and ask for their special garlic vinegar! I've tried other stuff and they're okay. This is my 2nd time to come for dinner - the bathroom just stinks! The toilet paper holders do not work do the roll in one if the stalls was on the floor. The other with the toilet paper hanging in the bag hook has no luck. The grilled pork chops were very good with the special garlic sauce. I hope the grade was an A wig the health inspector now that I saw the bathroom.

    Consistently decent Dominican food. It's probably the best in this area. It's very rushed atmosphere.

This brother and…read moresister duo cook like they're back in the homeland making their mama's down-home Puerto Rican meals- but still keeping up with the different Vegan and Vegetarian eating lifestyles. Amidst a pub, animal hospital, smoke shop and a few other storefronts, is El Cantito Cafe on Central Ave in Yonkers. No reservations, just walk in. But the lady on the phone said to come right away and grab the only 2-seater available. Bet. Tito Rojas, Victor Manuelle and other Salseros were blasting up in this joint when we came on a Friday night. Debbie as it turns out, is the sister in this duo and greeted us like we've been long-time friends- and our table was in fact waiting for us. Large framed photographs of Puerto Rico and Vejigantes decorate Cantito's dark grey walls. Our Mojito and Lemonade Spiked with Coconut something had strength but had too much ice. Service was excellent and so friendly. Our server was a sweetheart and the brother in this partnership, greeted us. My Creole Shrimp with a side of white rice/red beans was good. Hubs liked his fried pork chunks and remembers that particular taste and seasoning growing up. Typical Puerto Rican mofongo calls for chicharrón in it- but Cantito doesn't include any which is a great, creative-thinking Vegan move for a classic dish like this one. I'm not sure what else I can say about this Puerto Rican spot, except for the fact that the food is tasty, you're greeted like family (hubs felt right at home) and the music is banging.

    I will definitely be telling everyone in the world about this gem…read more We watched an episode of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay and El Cantito Cafe was the most memorable and heartwarming episode I've ever watched. So we visited and had an amazing meal. Even better, we got to meet the most humble and appreciative people ever, Debbie and Julio Santana are charming. I urge everyone I know to take a trip and have a great meal while supporting a deserving family owned business.

    Dominican restaurants in the White Plains area (and a bit beyond) are few and far between. So when…read moreone opens, I want to experience how my people are cooking or doctoring up the foods I grew up with. Plus, I've had Gustico on my radar ever since they opened down on Central Ave in Yonkers a few years ago. Despite their current average rating, they're still a firm favorite so decided on take out. The space is small with their food warmers taking up a lot of space on the right. A few high top tables on the left and lots of tropical faux greenery to invite you further in. Gustico has all the hearty Dominican staples- think: sancocho, stewed goat, stewed fish with coconut, chicharrones de cerdo (fried pork chunks), etc. The seafood though, isn't offered daily as menu might suggest as the restaurant may not have received their supply for the day. That was the case when I came here and was told they didn't receive the fish because of the rainstorm. I ordered yellow rice- that looked like white rice doused in yellow food coloring, a container of white rice, a small container of each of black and red beans. Both beans were tasty- but the thinly sliced celery in each threw me off since traditional Dominican cooking doesn't call for that and I also picked up baked chicken for hubs which he liked a lot. Tamarind and Passion fruit juices were the real thing- maybe way tooo sweet- but tasty. Don't pay any mind to their strip small location, come for the soul-soothing Dominican stews+other foods and warm service practically all year round. However, aside from their 3+ year mark, Gustico needs to straighten out themselves big time and not cut corners because it seems EVERYBODY is complaining about them. Just do better.

    The truth is that I was not expecting much. Typically, these kinds of establishments are all the…read moresame. Good food, good prices, in and out and 0 service. Since I'm with my family, service must be included. I was so disappointed when we received great service. Food was delicious and cheap. The space has 3 tables, tiny. They should take advantage of the summer and put some tables outside. They were featured in the Westchester Magazine and don't disappoint. Supporting local businesses is what the game is about. Glad the business is thriving and doing great.

As far as the service, they are all friendly and attentive. We ordered cheeseburger and bacon egg with cheese empanada tacos and the chicharrón de pollo with Moro . The empanada tacos are split down the middle and stuffed with fried cheese, sweet plantain and lettuce topped with special sauces: green and pink. But the BEC one comes with a special sauce that sweet. The highlight of the chicharrón plate is the salad. The dressing is so good and simple. I love it! There's notes of lime and vinegar. It only comes with the plates. Oh, I also tasted the cheeseburger empanada. The thang was filled to the rim and fried to perfection! I also had the new dessert. And I loved it. It was served cold with layers of vanilla cake, cool whip, thinly sliced strawberries and apples. It was fresh and light served in a perfect amount. Oh, there was also a bit of jam in there.

The lackluster ambiance was also nearly a dealbreaker! Also, the restrooms also clearly needed more attention, a lil dirty and lil smelly. However, I decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did. The food was surprisingly impressive. My partner loved the chicharrón de pollo with tostones and the chicken empanada taco. I opted for the baked chicken with rice and beans and the pernil empanada taco, both of which were delicious. The empanada tacos were easily the highlight of the meal. We paired everything with passion fruit margaritas that hit the spot. Despite the environment, the service was excellent, our server was attentive and very helpful. I'd come back for those empanada tacos alone if I am in the area.
