The Parrot Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Yonkers

First off this place used to be the best. The food eventually became inconsistent in taste and then it came to the point where it is no longer delicious. Not only this but the place has a Black Lives Matter carved into the wall or written on the wall near the cash register and someone came along and added All Lives Matter which is very culturally insensitive. Obviously more than likely someone who works there posted both the Black Lives Matter and the All Lives Matter. Hmm the last time I checked and this is informative for all who may or may not know that the African Slave ships brought Africans to all different parts of the United States, Caribbean, Central America and South America including the Dominican Republic. Dominicans like it or not are Black people just like Puerto Ricans and many others. They are just Africans with an accent. Their food and culture is clearly heavily influenced by the African culture and this is not opinion it is fact. If you Google you will see that the dish known as Mofongo is just one of several African contributions to both Caribbean and more specifically to the Dominican culinary culture. TERRIBLE!!!

The Parrot Restaurant in Yonkers is one of the best Spanish restaurants in the area. They offer amazing family meals at unbelievable prices. Unlike others, their food is incredibly fresh. For example, even the white rice tastes like it was made the same day. The beans are very well-seasoned, and when you order the bean stew, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find carrots and potatoes—ingredients often overlooked at many Spanish restaurants.

Their empanadas are made to order, meaning they don't sit under a heat lamp; they are freshly prepared when you order them. The freshness and quality of their food are truly unmatched. Additionally, the variety of dishes they offer ensures that there is something for everyone, whether you are a meat lover or a vegetarian.

All in all, this is definitely a go-to spot for good quality food at great prices. Last but not least, the staff is wonderful, including the guys who do the deliveries. They are always friendly, prompt, and ensure that your food arrives hot and fresh. I wish them all the best and will definitely make this my regular place for Spanish food at least a few...

Tasty and inexpensive Dominican food.

I had a hankering for Spanish food, specifically rice, red beans and pernil (roast pork). I Googled and this place in Yonkers that looked promising.

It’s a small place, limited seating, more of a takeout joint than a sit down, with lots of choices that they serve out from a steam table. Lunch specials (available all day) are around $10 each and the food is tasty. For $70, I picked up both a large and small red beans, a large rice and pigeon peas, a family size portion of pernil, a jerk chicken lunch special, a goat meat lunch special, sweet plantains, yucca with onions, flan and a passion fruit juice. That translated into enough food for at least 3 separate meals for my family of 3. It is hearty and filling and tasty and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Parking outside can be iffy, so best to call in the order and then double...
