Buen Sabor Latino Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

The wife and I visited today for the first time in hopes of having authentic Dominican food, but were quickly disappointed. Upon arrival we noticed they have daily lunch specials which we were excited to try. We lived in the Bronx for a couple of years and are familiar with Dominican food and lunch specials which typically include a protein, rice, beans and your choice of a side. However, here their lunch specials include your choice of protein and one side; everything else is at an additional cost. We ended up spending almost $50 for two “lunch specials” and two cups of coffee. NOT A GOOD VALUE. Had the food been authentic and delicious, we wouldn’t have minded, but unfortunately this food was neither. To boot, one of the additional sides for which we paid extra, the potato salad, had an odd after taste and it was given to us in a take out container which led us to believe that it wasn’t fresh and had been sitting in their fridge for quite some time. We did not eat it. We ordered the stewed beef which was OK, but the sweet and green plantains weren’t very good…some of our tostones were raw inside and the maduros weren’t cooked to order. Our server wasn’t particularly nice, but the man at the register was pleasant. Saddened our experience wasn’t better. I’ll take a drive to the Bronx for legit Dominican food next time we’re...

Guaranteed good meal everytime! I love coming here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. All of the food is fresh & authentic - you can taste the love! They are always accommodating to kids who may want one part of the meal & not the other. One of my favorites is the tres golpes (mashed plantain, fried cheese, fried salami, fried egg & pickled red onions) - it is always delicious! Don't forget to try their fresh juices & empanadas! I've ordered from here before for large empanada orders (30-60 empanadas) and they are always made fresh & hot. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, great food, great service,...

They agreed to cater a family event. The order was done two weeks prior anda $ 100 deposit left for a tray of pork and a tray of rice with peas. On the day of the event when we showed up for pickup nothing was available. No good explanation given and no notification of a problem. They are the most unprofessional business. We were left without food for the guests and had to scramble last minute to find other options. Never cater from them. They should not promote themselves as caterers. Worst...
