one of the best places in New York for Dominican food. I have not been disappointed yet. The decor does need to be modernized, Any the ladies could learn to be nicer. otherwise than that, this place make great food.
Okay, I can't understand why it took me so long to Yelp about a place I've been going to for about 10 years. The food here is GREAT! Not to mention, growing up with a Dominican godmother that baked professionally & was an excellent cook, I always crave Dominican food. Hence my love for Brisas. I love the mofongo con queso & marinated king fish! Oh don't forget to get your drink like a morir sonando or coconut milk.
My kids love the chicken chunks with bones, everyone states its marinated very well (I don't eat meat or poultry, so I can't confirm). My other states
I can only recall only two incidents in the past 10 years in which I was disappointed with my food. Nothing horrible, but it was not up to my regular standards.
The food prices are AMAZING, especially for the portion size. I usually can stretch out my meal in 3-4 servings.
I was in the East Coast a few weeks ago and stopped by my old stomping ground.
This restraurant has a special place in heart, growing up when you wanted that one homemade meal that made you feel warm inside. This is the place you must go!
This place is a hole in the wall in the middle block of Castle Hill but it's alway spilling out with people placing orders or trying to get an available table.
There bake chicken is the best in the Bronx…with tender red or black beans to accompany the yellow or white rice.
The pepper steak is so tender and moist with large portions of red and black peppers.
The food is truly amazing. It's made to order so it's always fresh.
The waitress are shaped like coke bottles so this is a favorite place for the guys to catch a quick look when their girlfriends or wives aren't looking.
Everything is $15 or less so you can take the entire family out for a great meal and still have money left over to head to the movies.
Boy, I do miss this place! Until next time East Coast….
I picked up a sancocho today. It was not as flavorful as usual. Maybe a different cook For soups??? Disappointed. Of course the pricing is always good. I bought a large for $7. But who is goings to eat it since I didn't like it much? Hopefully the owner will read this and rework this kink.
Love this place, the service is quick, always with smiles and heaping portions of delicious food. I love the pork chunks and the mofungo, as well as the icy cold sodas. The tostones and rice and beans are also always good here. Makes me feel like I'm at the Malecon with the murals on the walls. Five easy stars for Brisas!
If you are looking for good latin food, then this is the place to go.
I have been coming here for over ten years and the food is always spot on. My personal favorite are the pork chops aka chuleta. No other place serves them up as well as they do. The rice is fluffy and flavorful and the beans are out of this world.
I have never had a bad meal here, and I say that after coming here for many years and ordering different things from the menu.
Now do not expect ambiance, because thats not what you come to Brisas for, and also service is hit or miss, but that is a cultural thing. Brisas is not a first date type of joint, there are plenty of other places that have better ambiance but sub par food.
If you are on the go, you can order one of their lunch specials and take it on the go.
The only reason this place did not get 5 stars is because of the one star for service and ambiance.
Unenthused. Maybe it was just my meal…the oxtail for start was too fatty…tender and tasty meat for sure, but too much fat to pick through. The plantains were OK, pretty standard. Rice and gandules were pretty good, but even my bf makes them better. The pastelito (ground beef) had a strange, almost gamey taste. I noticed that they were out of a lot of their menu items (i had 2 alternatives i would have rather eaten than oxtail, but they were out). Service kinda sucked. Waitress not attentive, i guess cuz we didnt speak Spanish. Her English was very limited, but furthermore you could TELL she doesnt like her job.. Or maybe it was a bad day but this chick was moody af. Even the other waitress who came and checked on us was more pleasant though she spoke NO english.. at all lol. On one hand, i enjoyed the authenticity in that way, but on the flip side how are you providing a business to Americans and your employees can't communicate with the patrons? Whatever. I'm from MD, so have no intention on returning next time im in NY. Maybe if the food was better. But 2 stars because the food was edible, they had a good crowd (the place got full at one point) which usually speaks well for the restaurant, ppl did seem to enjoy their meals, and prices werent bad at all.
This place is as authentic as it gets…some of the best spanish food I've ever had!! Brings back memories of my PR neighbors in FL who used to cook for me. This is a must stop place if you're in the city, HUGE portions, delicious food. I've had the chicken, rice & beans, and the platanos, so so good. I cant wait until I'm in NY again to visit this gem.
