Place has been going downhill for years. Same people work here for the longest and dont know any English. They dont have to be fluent but at least learn your menu in English! They all have attitude and WILL have you standing there looking stupid until THEY decide to finally take your order. They have some good food and ridicously delivery time. Honestly go to a different Spanish place there are better ones in that Manhattan Broadway area.
Great food at a good price.
Best place to buy late night Latin American food.
Wait one and half hour for bistec sandwich’s and juice, the sandwiches were cold, very bad service I don’t will be buying anything again.
Horrible customer service. Ordered Uber Eats and they didn’t send all my food. The bags were stapled closed and they tried to blame the Uber driver. Disgusting. Then the lady who picked up even had an attitude cause I don’t speak Spanish. The nerve. To top everything off, the food makes you feel sick 🤢🤮 & heavy.DONT EAT HERE!
Love that its 24hrs, can make your food on the spot and taste good. But it can get a little pricey.
Very cheap but delicious Dominican Food. Delivery is available. You can pay with cards only in person, if you like to pay with a card must use one the delivery apps. I usually order through Delivery.com. Any phone orders are available cash only. No sorry their English is not very good looking
Classic Neighborhood location for Spanish Food ... Cuban Sandwiches are my favorite! Beans are great as well and cant go wrong with their rice and beans along with many varieties of meat. Small location but what it lacks in size they make up in the food quality and quantity.
It was good the first time but afterwards the meat was hard and weird. Hit or miss
Food lacked flavor and they seemed annoyed that I didnt speak Spanish....
Great coffee, fresh food.
If you like or love Spanish food I highly recommend it. The food is amazing. Even if you are going to buy toast bread with coffee.
Someone is running a ghost kitchen from this location with the name Big Mamas Southern Table. Photos on DoorDash and UberEats are all stock photos. Ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich and received essentially a Cuban with BBQ sauce - are you kidding me?! Misleading Bait-and-Switch.
This style of restaurant isnt long for the world in the neighborhood. Enjoy it while it lasts. The food of which most of it is created batch is always readily available. The ambiance itself can be a little chaotic. Its especially helpful to know Spanish though they will try to understand you if they dont. The wait can be a little annoying as the line is very free form. Avoid this place from 6 to 7:30 especially when ordering. They will be overwhelmed and you may not get the customer service you might at other times. The food is usually pretty good. I recommend the Lasagna, rice and beans and varieties of chicken. The coffee is strong, good and made just for you. Also avoid big game nights, some people hang out there to watch the big game on occasion.
Sancocho is excellent.very nice ppl.
Pork ribs over red beans and rice, it changed my life. Absolutely amazing! Go ahead and make your day, I cant stop smiling
They passion fruit is so good condensed milk and vanilla. They rice and chicken is so delicious.. and I remembered this place when I was craving and I kept looking up on google and then boom here the page was. And thank you for being a 24 hour store cuz I’m ordering from y’all everyday lol
Great Lil Restaurant in that area. The food was very delicious, great flavor and very well cooked. The meat was nice and soft , good quality. Worth the price.Tried out their goat meat with rice and beans along with ribs which were all great.The place is very tight inside, Incase you are planning on going to eat in with a very large group. Its a good place for a quick take out.
Great Dominican food...a lot of frituras...great prices...they cook in front of u. The staff is cool.
The fact that this place is open 24/7 is truly a blessing in disguise. I cant count the times I came here after work to get a meal, especially since the only place open at 2AM is McDonald.Great staff, delicious food, I love this place!
It is a very small place to eat in, 3 two sitter table set up and counter seats. Food was average. Did not like the bacala guisada, it was drenched in a water base sauce. I did like the arroz moro, a little bit more seasoning w
I wish I can give them a 0 start awful service and a really nasty actitud they don’t know what they are doing make you wait for no reason and ask you 10 times you order and all that to get a really bad food , don’t waste your money here !
One of my favorite go-tos. The food is excellent, the coffee is wonderful. I always eat good and take a plate to go. Very welcoming, whether early morning or late night. Nothing too fancy but enough space to sit at a table or at the counter. Great all around.
My daughter & I were walking around the neighborhood and decided to look for a place to eat. This restaurant had one of the best reviews, so we decided to check it out. The Restaurant and the patrons looked very welcoming and friendly amongst one another and we were welcomed in as well. The food looked freshly prepared and everything looked Delicious! We ordered and sat down at a vacant table because the stools by the food were packed. When our food arrived, we were very surprised at the portion size. It is Huge!! We both knew that attempting to eat it all would be a mission...not impossible, but a hungry persons delight. We were happily amazed at the flavor of the Bistec y Arroz Blanco with black beans, & the Pechuga De La Plancha y Tostones. I have read the other bad reviews and we didn’t encounter anyone who didn’t understand English when it came to ordering, nor food that was cooked wrong or hard. We loved it & would definitely stop by again if we were in the neighborhood.
Delicious Dominican restaurant open 24/7. Good food at a good value. You will most likely need to order in Spanish, but the waitresses are helpful.
Not all that for authentic Dominican Washington heights cuisine..
A very small diner-style shop with some great, affordable food. The staff is kind and some of them are bilingual, but this is a predominantly spanish-speaking institution so please be patient if you dont speak spanish. They do grubhub, doordash and other delivery services so its easiest to order to-go.
When my Spanish-speaking NYP coworkers get food from this place it smells, looks & tastes good. But if you dont speak Spanish they claim to not have what you order or serve you something substandard I guess believing that since you dont speak language you dont know what its supposed to taste like. Owner needs to explain that green/money is a universal language. We can help each other with barriers Ill point at pictures on wall. Ive visited & given more than once chance to be sure it wasnt just an off night. The 1 star is because the food is good but just get Spanish speaker to go with you or order for you.
Quick spot to grab a bite to eat. Open 24 hours. Tasty Dominican food and drinks. Small but cozy a few small tables and counter seating available.
I love that its 24h. They have great coffee. 2,50 for a chicken thigh👍👍
I just loved their dishes. I always get good service there. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always very kind. I highly recommend this place.
The customer service is extremely poor and the workers there are very rude. The food takes long to prepare.
Chicharron de pollo bien crujiente combo. Boneless and without flour.. .SO BOMB! QUE SAZON! The beans are 🙌🏼 depends the day though.
Went there with my friend and brought ribs( costilla) they told us that theres only one size, which cost 10.50, a co-worker of ours who is latino went there and was told of two prices 6.00 and 10.50. Please your own judgement. Ribs where ok.
Had a good experience in this place with my kid. The food came fast and the customer service is just excellent. Prices are convenient.
The food is good, but please learn to speak English! If your order for pick up and you don’t speak Spanish, they just ignore you! Very Rude
Food is usually good but maybe pork chops aren’t their strong suit b/c the one I had was dry af. Delivery can be inconsistent as well.
One of my favorite spots to eat and take out.My favorite is the fried fillet fish.Customer service here is 10 out of 10 for me.
Their baked chicken is super dry, nasty. Tried them multiple times, is just who they are. Nasty food!
Actually this place is good because is open 24 hours daily .sometimes go there in the middle of the night, cause I work nights, just keep an eye open cause sometimes food is old, but is okay if you want Spanish food.
This place is open 24 hours a day. Delicious Dominican food. Definitely, a great place after a night of drinking.
Too small to eat comfortably in but man oh man this food is soo good especially the fried chicken! This is most definiteley one of the best latino places ive eaten from.
Love this restaurant, food and service is always good. No fallan! And open 24/7
Great food the only thing is a small place but food and service is really good.
Very good food.and the people are very nice.
Great Food, Great Prices & the girls that work there always treat me very nice💐
Awesome Spanish food in the heights.
Food was ok and theyre open 24 hours, which is great when you have a 5 am report for work and everything else is closed
Small spot. Rude customer service with nasty attitudes. Never again for me.
I just go for the coffee which I like but my coworkers say the food is delicious.
Staff not friendly and the food I had was tasteless.
When i go to ny this is the only Spanish restaurant i visit with my family. Good food and friendly staff! Y Buen precios!
This is the right place for people who want real Dominican food. Plates are delicious and very cheap. Pollo al horno and moro are very fresh.
Food is always SO good. The women staff make it better. Very nice and welcoming.
Whole in the wall with great Spanish food, staff is very nice. Very small place, I recommend pick up food to go.
Great prices for lunch and you get a good amount of food. Delivery available to the hospital. Open 24 hours.
Delicious Food, always fresh and makes me feel at home. Recommend for everyone.
Dominican Restaurant open late nights. Food is decent, just be prepared to wait for no reason...
Horrible delivery service. They never delivered the food and they charged me for the food after they cancelled my order
Amazing food and atmosphere!! Great customer service the owners are great people.
I had mangu, salami, over easy eggs and pickled onions and it was amazing. Nothing like a Dominican breakfast early in the morning.
The food is great and fresh but the service everyday is bad they been on the phone and people waiting
If you want your food delivered forget about this place. The delivery staff at lunch time is rude, and doesnt even know were Riverside Dr is. Dont waste your time.
Great food. Its not 5 stars because of the looks but the food is amazing.
Food was cold. Not a bad flavor, but waitresses have some bad aptitude. I wont go back!
Amazing food! Amazing staff! Great management and great manager in general.

This spot is great for all occasions. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night grub. I strongly appreciate them for being opened 24hrs. I love the Dominican vibe and they serve food with love. My go to order is Mangu with the Tres Golpes. They also make great sandwiches, have great soups (I love the sopa de pollo) and the lasagna is fantastic. This place has real home cooked Dominican food, you could never go hunger as long as they’re around. 👍🏽
Muy amables aun que si demoran demasiado con la orden y eso sin contar que entra la gente como en su casa piensas que trabajan ahí pero dicen que andan viendo que van a comer ahí siento que están mal el cliente siempre deve estar afuera no andar viendo adentro es algo incomodo eso
Today (15 Sep 2021):I understand the crisis and the high prices but we must never lower the quality. The last 2 soups I have ordered cocido de pata and today the Dominican sancocho despite costing more. $ 14 for a sancocho because it is $ 12 + $ 2 tips I think it is not cheap to receive a pumpkin soup with a few pieces of pork with fat and a chicken skin with bones. They really should review their quality.Before:The food tastes good and the portions are quite generous. The delivery service is on time. I really liked the Dominican sancocho.
This establishment is the place where you can get the worst service, if you eat the food you can feel very bad because of the poor attention they give to the customer. Pesiiiisiiiimooo
The food is very good and the prices are very fair.
Very good meals.I have manyYears eating in LA BARCA
Very good quality food and good prices
Good care of all very cervical women
Regrettably. Very bad experience.Disgusting behavior on site. I asked for a soaked shrimp course and the CostIt was $ 20 for a rice soup with 6 shrimp in it.
Excellent taste and price, good nice, and cheap
Excellent mangu... usually when I buy mangu in restaurants, the mashed green one is very dry. In this place it was smooth. It is not the presentable place to take your partner romantically but your stomach will feel excellent!
I love to order food from this place and always go at dawn, 24/7
This is like the 4th time that we order from La Barca restaurant From the eye clinic in 165 and Fort Washington ave and the food has hair. This is so nasty and disgusting. The staff from this restaurant have to wear hair net because this is unacceptable !! I wish I could put 0 stars on this Review !! Please zoom in the photo so you could see the nasty hair !!This is the fourth time that we ordered food from this Restaurant La Barca Restaurant of the 165 eye clinic and fort Washington ave and the food had a hair. This is very gross and unpleasant. The staff of this restaurant have to put a restraint on their heads because this is unacceptable !! I would love to put a 0 in this Review !! Please enlarge the photo to see the disgusting hair !!
The food is good but the service is horrible, very little space for the customer and a lot of disorder from the customers.
Excellent Service Jhoany, Carmen and Wendy.
Excellent restaurant serving authentic Dominican food. Apart from the lunch special, I also highly recommend the breakfasts. The personnel is very friendly.
Many attentions of the employees and seasoning 100% Dominican, apart from its great hygiene and cleanliness, prices, not to mention, all economic.
Grace For following me, Alsace De Jesus Ramos original. I visited it for 3 days. I recommend it. Eat very good Dominican food.

2022-05-28NEVER AGAIN!! First off Im Dominican, so i know spanish food. I ordered Carne Frita con Tostones and got over-cooked burnt old meat. The lady was nice over the phone, but they hold on to expired food. Greed over the health of your customers is not good. Please throw away your expired meat, and fire the cook who over cooks food. After eating two pieces it went in the garbage, tried 1 with lime & 1 regular, and still tasted like stale rocks both tries... Good luck eating here

2022-03-07Always have delicious food. Service is fast. People are nice.Steak Sandwich is the best around.I miss their food since we moved to NJ. Only when we drive in to visit my husbands family would we grab some to go food. Never disappointed. Inexpensive and good food.

2022-05-15La Barca has delicious food.Its located not too far from NY Presbyterian Hospital so its perfect to grab lunch for yourself or someone you might be visiting in the hospital.The place is small but clean. They have alot of dividers up due to COVID. The lady who was attending me was perfect. She took my order exactly, verified what i wanted, asked a few questions and packed up my order with no issues.The food was so good. I got a soup, pata de vaca. Delicious. I also got a half chicken, white rice, beans and salad. The chicken was not dry at all. The rice was nice and fluffy. The beans were tasty. The salad was good and it was seasoned for me.Overall this place is really good. I was attended well, the food was delicious and the price was right. I cant wait to visit this place again. I highly recommend it.

2022-06-20Went for a sail on my friends birthday & decided to sit inside because it was a windy day. Ambiance 10/10. Shared chips and guacamole/salsa, two pitchers and everyone got tacos, spent ~$75.

2022-03-02Honestly the best 3 Golpes Ive ever had in a restaurant the mangú was so soft, the onions made just how I like it. Real good, delicious! They mostly speak Spanish, and are real Dominicans so if youre sensitive dont go here cuz you might take it personal when thats just how they are. My only regret was not ordering another for home. No pics sorry, I was starving but they give you 2 eggs, 2 salchichón, and 2 cheese on a separate foil bowl and the mangú and onions on another. Not a fan of how the egg was which is why the 4 star but if you get there early Im pretty sure the eggs are more fresh, maybe ask to see if they can make them fresh. The cheese was warm and soft, usually its cold and hard at other places. Cannot recommend enough. 🤠👍🏾

2019-03-25My sister and I were looking for a Dominican breakfast while visiting NY Presbyterian hospital. Saw La Barca was nearby with good ratings and figured wed try it out. Ordered mangu con los tres golpes and we were not disappointed. Mangu was not dry as sometimes can be. Coffee was on point, too. Small neighborhood eatery with a counter and about 6-8 additional seats. Everyone coming in knew each other and it made me smile to be a NYer.

2019-12-04Great place for a delicious, filling, drunken meal at 3 in the morning. Seems like a very strong and healthy sense of community in this restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff!
