The Parrot

"I ordered Mangu from here and let me tell you - this has been the best one I have eaten. I’m very picky when it comes to food - but this here is great."

"Food is ok. The lady serving has a nasty attitude. Their pernil is good however I went for lunch and the pernil tray had scraps I asked if there was a fresh tray coming out she said no. She Must not understand English because as soon as I turned around to leave a new one was coming. Still left - not going back."

"Really good food ,trerrible service. 1 person serving .. takes about 14 minutes to 15 minutes just to get someone to help you had a bad experience where I waited 15 minutes. No one in the restaurant was helping the poor lady serve the line then someone comes in behind me and the guy with the Du rag, and behind the registrar leaves and serves them so the whole time no one can help her. I decided not to get my food and left. Can’t express enough how Good the food is , long wait time."

"I dropped my review 1 star because of the following story: I enjoy the food here so i used to frequent here, until 1 evening i was taking photos and video to promote this place on my social media platforms. The woman taking care of me yelled at me, she told me it’s disrespectful to take video & photos of a business. I explained to her that i love the food so much i want to share it, she continued to talk down to me saying i’m a bad person and to never come back. My original post as follows: Quality, authentic Dominican Food. The best Dominican food in Yonkers!"

"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 park and run in."
