El Conuco - New York City

Avoid this restaurant at all costs. The food is excessively salty, greasy, and overpriced. Consider yourself warned!

The restaurant offers fantastic Dominican cuisine with excellent service that is quick, reliable, and professional. I enjoy their food and love the atmosphere, although it can be a bit challenging during these Covid times. The churasco steak and half or whole chicken with steamed veggies are exceptional. The owner is also very charming and easy on the eyes.

The prices were arbitrarily set by the restaurant. I paid $12 for a single piece of chicken with beans and rice. I noticed some young men getting much larger meals for the same price, so it seems like they were getting a better deal. The service was rude, prices fluctuated, and if you don't speak Spanish you can't negotiate a lower price. I won't be returning to this restaurant, without any regrets. Charging such high prices for mediocre food is unacceptable. A meal like this should not cost more than $5.

The food is good, but watch out for occasional salty rotisserie chicken.

The Dominican drinks and food is of course delicious. Its fast service and the decoration makes me feel like I'm back in DR...
