El Economico

"Not like it use to be.when the lady is not there in the back the fried food, no Bueno. Siempre overcooked. 3rd time in a row this happens. Sooo disappoin!ted because this was my favorite spot. How do you overcook chuletas is beyond me SMFH !!!!"

"Been coming here for over 20 years and the food is just as delicious then as it is now. Great prices and service. It’s the best of Puerto Rican and Dominican food. Try it, you won’t be disappointed."

"A smaller Dominican restaurant yes they have seats to eat in, if you'd like, but this isn't a restaurant like that to have a date. It's a smaller place with good food, I usually just pick up to go or call it in for delivery The food is good Dominican food One of my go to's when I'm in the neighborhood I've had different dishes from them and they've all been delicious"

"This was a great place! As the name suggests, you can eat a lot for a great price. Everything was so savory and authentic. I found the seasoning salty, but I normally eat low on salt, so just be aware that this is how Dominican food usually is. They have a wide menu selection and everything seems to be cooked right and fresh. Highly recommend this place!"

"Wonderful inexpensive real Dominican food and ambiance. Love the food, the counter top seating (although there are tables in the back and upstairs), the drinks (fresh orange juice, coffee more like an extra large expresso... for less than 2.00$..take that Starbucks...ice cold Caronas with the slice of lime). There's all kinds of delicious food; I love chicken and rice and beans. Also the stew. Feeds me for 2 days... maybe 3 for 7.00$ Where can you beat that in NYC? It's always super busy but the noise just comes with the territory; gives the place more flavor. I've been eating here since 1998. Not much has changed and that's one of the things I love about El Economico. I can always count on excellent food at affordable prices. I don't speak Spanish and not once has anyone gotten my order wrong over that 20 year span nor have I ever waited more than 5 - 10 minutes to be served. They even deliver. What's not to like? It's easy to get here situated on the Broadway just shy of 231st St. I highly recommend El Economico."
