A great Latin/American take-out restaurant with a handful of tables inside; yes, I meant Latin/American not Latin-American. This restaurant serves a mix of Latin dishes and American one's like Macaroni and Cheese. I opted for a plate with paella and avocado salad. Both were fresh and extremely flavorful. The avocado salad had tomatoes, peppers, onions, and some nice lime juice which made for a nice natural dressing once tossed. The paella was delicious! It was super flavorful and paired nicely with the avocado salad.
I would absolutely recommend el Castillo for takeout!
OK so this place is in competition with El Campeon De Los Pollos on Lefferts Blvd. This is a little place so make sure you're on the look out or you will pass it. Its across the street from a catholic school I believe.
After having the bland tasting chicken from El Campeon i came across this on yelp and all the good reviews for the food. So we decided to try them. As i stated this is a small spot…so take-out is the way to go. They have a whole variety of food. Stews, Fried, Soups, Rice, Beans, Salads(avocado, shrimp, green salad), Sweet plantains and root veggies. WOW! So on our 1st time here of course we got the Rotisserie Chicken and some fried chicken wings and the avocado salad. The R chicken was tasty and not dry(a little small) and comes with a chimichurri sauce(not spicy) the chicken wings were seasoned very well and not greasy. OMG the avocado salad is like the one my family makes in Ecuador!! With tomato, lime, onion and green pepper(we don't put this in it). The service here is fast and cheap if you ask me. They are always busy with take-out orders but if you can make it in…do it. Their rice and beans are good too. Haven't tried their soups yet hopefully its as good as El Campeon….
We will be coming back and will be recommending this place.
This is one of my favorite Spanish restaurants however today I was beyond furious with the way that the driver spoke to me on 1/24/16 at 1:04pm. I waited over two hours to receive my delivery. I wasn't the least bit surprised with their turn around time because I know that good food shouldn't be rushed.
Besides I'm used to their crazy delivery times. I placed my delivery at 11:13am and called back to check how long it'll take at 12:45pm. I was told it's on the way.
At 1:04pm I received a phone call that my food is outside. I told him exactly where I was and that I'm not coming outside to pick up my food when I specifically asked for the "delivery" option.
The guy goes off on me. He says, "There's snow everywhere. I understand you're inside, but you'll have to come get your food. We all have to get along and work together." My one and only response was, "Why do you have an attitude?!" He claims he didn't have one. I hung up on him, got dressed, wrapped my wet hair in a towel and went outside. At this point I'm ready to confront the delivery guy and speak my peace.
I'm sure the little boy that was standing awkwardly with my food in his hand was afraid I was going to go off. To say I am vexed is an understatement. I asked him what was the attitude about? He said it wasn't him but it was his father.
I asked him what snow was in the way that he couldn't come around the corner approximately less than a foot to bring me my food. He said they're not obligated to go to the door. I simply told him that's a lie and what would be the point in delivering my food if I have to come outside?!
As you all may know, there was no tip given besides telling him that his father needs to man up and handle his own dirty work. I also called and spoke to the manager to complain about that low life.
From 4 stars to 1, what a damn shame!!!
Castillo De Pollo translated in English means Castle of Chicken. Delicious meals are prepared for The Queen of Queens here. A fellow Yelper highly recommended Castillo and this has been my go to for delivery dining in the Jamaica area.
The quality of the Food at Castillo is great for the cost. For $18 I ordered the boneless fried chicken (chicharrones de Pollo sin huesos), Rice and beans, avocado salad and Empanadas. For the family size quantity you receive(feeds 5), the quality is unmatched. I really appreciate that they do not drown their food in salt or Sazon. Everything is flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The Empanadas are standard and could benefit from some extra seasoning. They offer seasoned chicken and beef with onions and peppers for taste. This is not Mama's Empanadas but you can expect a crisp, moist and tasty empanada. The Boneless fried chicken is delicious. Also simply seasoned and not greasy. The Avocado salad is a staple to finish off your meal.
The Delivery and customer service here can be hit or miss. The estimated time of delivery can reach up to about 1 Hour and 15 minutes. Atleast that reassures me my food is hot and freshly prepped. The delivery men may not speak clear English so…have a Spanish dictionary available or step up your Rosetta Stone game.
