I think it's about time I update my review on this place. Still as great as before. I seriously love how consistent this place is with their hot meals. Still have yet to try the actual chicken unfortunately because I am addicted to their homemade hot food. One of these days, I need to suck it up and try the chicken as opposed to the hot food because of all the amazing things I have heard about it. Today I was helped right away, service is always quick and pleasant. Today I decided to try their ribs for the first time. I found them to be a tad bit on the salty side for my taste… I can totally look past that because on the regular this never happens. However, they are still pretty good an very tender. The red beans and white rice mixed together was off the hook as always. I can always indulge in this alone. All and all I am always a happy camper when I come here!
Bergenline Ave is the go to place for delicious and affordable Latin take out food. Once you get towards 50th street and up the options are endless.
John's Fried Chicken which has an additional location in Union City and Washington Heights is good quality Dominican food at a cheap price. I would recommend getting the roasted chicken. They have many options whether you are getting for the whole family or individual meals. I usually order a 1/4 of a chicken with a side of rice which runs at a cost of $5.25. The portion is huge especially with the rice. The amount of rice they put can feed at least 3 people. Your rice options are white with beans, arroz con gandulez (yellow rice), or arroz moro (black rice). My favorite is the arroz moro. Their rice has the perfect amount of seasoning not too salty and not enough salt. Their chicken is always moist and baked to perfection. They also ask if you would like onions on top of your chicken to give it that extra flavor which is free.
Forget KFC and hit up JFC! I promise you won't regret it.
Allow me to echo my fine fellow local Yelpers – do NOT sleep on the rotisserie chicken here.
The "fried" might be in the name, but frankly, I have never seen anybody buy up massive amounts of that the way I see people stockpile the spit-roasted goodness. I have literally seen a lady go in there and purchase 15 chickens, disassembled and cloaked in vinegary-delicious onions, with the intention of serving them at a birthday party… and why not?! For $8.95 a chicken, you get something delicious and definitely a step up from your run of the mill party fare. (Sorry, Chuck E. Cheese!)
I always buy up more than one bird – one for dinner, and the other for myriad uses during the week (shredded atop a pile of greens, tossed into pasta, WHATEVER!).
The folks working the counter are lovely (and yes, more Spanish-speaking than anything else… but I'm baffled that anyone has expressed surprise about this), and the price is right.
In fact… I think I now know what's for dinner!
