Been here a few times, had dinner twice and loved it. Usually I come in for the double shot espresso with steamed milk to go then head over to Middletown Cigar Lounge to pair it with my favorite cigar 😎This restaurant is really nice, its clean, great ambiance, great staff that is attentive and quick. The food is really good and always fresh. Theres a little bit of everything to appease everyones taste.There is outdoor seating that is gated off, really nice when the season is right for it, just adds to what this establishment has to offer !I have no complaints and recommend this place for really good service, food and to just kick back and enjoy dinner wether its by yourself or with family and friends. Service is great from management to staff, stop in and check it out for sure 🤘😎🤘🇺🇲UPDATE - Still good, no complaints,,, end the night with a double shot espresso with steamed milk and a piece of tres leches cake,,, You wont regret it 🤘😎🤘🇺🇲
Our 2nd time here and what a delight. Our server Kim made sure we were well attended to. The food does not disappoint. A truly wonderful meal. As a nice addition, Mina came out to greet her captive audience. I Highly recommend Minas. I guarantee you and your Family will not be disappointed. This place gets 100 Stars.
Lets start saying that there was a horrible cigarette smell in there. We ordered pollo salteado with white rice and red beans (13), and chicken mofongo (10) and apple juice(2). Im sorry, but I cant say it was good but I can say it was ok. For less than $13 I could go to a smaller and cheaper place to eat rice, beans and salted chicken with a much better flavor and more food. The mofongo, Well I am not sure if that was fomongo or mangu, because it was too soft and the garlic sauce under the mofongo was too watery which makes it worse. The price is really good though. May be we could go back in summer so could seat outside and order different food. Hopefully will be better next time.
I went on a Friday night and was sat down at about 7:15 p.m. I waited for 35 minutes without anyone acknowledging I was there and asking if I wanted a a drink or anything. I was looked at but no one came over. I went to complain to the manager and he really didnt care. With this type of customer service I doubt this place will be open long. Dont go there cause the service sucks. I will never go again.
Good service, good prices. I tried something called yuca fries that I loved , they were really good and recommend everyone to try them. Their canoa made with sweet plantains were great too, Ill be definitely going back
Ambiance is awesome as well as the staff. Very attentive to everyones needs and the food was delicious. Crystal, being the bartender, is great and the drinks are delish. I will definitely come by again.
Great food and service. Their pimiento sandwich is the best!
My family and i had the pleasure of dinning in Minas Spanish kitchen this evening for dinner.The waitress Kim was very impressive, restaurant clean, and overall vibe was awesome. I ordered the Tostones Rellenos which is a Puerto Rican Stuffed plantain cup filled with chicken and it was insanely good. Very tender and the flavor was out of this world. We also had the Calamari which was very crunchy and taste very good with extra lime and the hot sauce. (Hoboken Eddies) The hot sauce was amazing, it had a smoked paprika flavor but a hint of spice. I really enjoyed the unique flavor from the hot sauce..The drinks were the bomb like seriously i would love to see a Sunday brunch there. My husband had the cucumber martini and i had the mango mai tai, which we both enjoyed very much! His drink was so refreshing and my drink gave me the Puerto rico vibes i really miss from my island..What i really liked a lot was its a great place for after work but its also family oriented. My oldest son had a cheese burger with french fries and my younger son had the Chicharron de Pollo which is fried chicken but i like that they werent to bulky. The french fries were so crunchy my son said these are the best fries ever. They ate everything off there plate, honestly when does that ever happen (not even at home at times lol) So i loved that my boys enjoyed there dinner.My main dish was the Ensalada de Churasquito. Which is skirt steak strips with mixed greens, creamy avocado, juicy tomato and lots of other colorful fresh picked veggies for my salad. I loved that they offer the dressing on the side because most places over dress your salad. I was extremely pleased with my choice, my steak was so flavorful and tender and my salad taste like it was handpicked from a garden. MY husband had the churrasco with white rice and black beans. He couldnt stop bragging about how juicy and tender his steak was. Its normally hard to get that kind of steak perfect. We loved that it wasnt chewy. The black beans had so much flavor and the rice was well cooked.What i loved most about our visit was the hospitality we got from everyone especially Lina. She was very sweet, friendly and made sure we all enjoyed our food at all times. She was very attentive to not only my family but everyone in the resturant i felt right at home. Over all the Spanish food was fresh, delectable and mouth watering. I would defiantly come back again to dine, drink and hopefully brunch soon, not alone but with everyone i know that enjoys eating authentic Spanish cuisines. I highly recommended this place for everybody.
We ate here for the first time tonight and it was delicious. Our waiter Gene was fantastic! Very personable and professional. My family and I will be returning and we look forward to when people come to visit us so that we can take them here for a wonderful dining experience. There were 9 of us and our food was all cooked perfectly! This place is a must visit if you want delicious food at reasonable prices with excellent service!Just came back and had lunch. Same spectacular service. Get the chicken empanadas and tostones. The best lunch you will ever get for 8 dollars! The owner is extremely friendly and really cares that you enjoy your experience. Best food in the area by far!
Wasn’t bad. Food was good. I’m picky about Latin food. Staff was friendly. Very busy place, so they are doing something right.
An Awesome delight. Kim our server was fabulous. The Food was delicious. And the Chicken soup was just like your Abuela would make it. Minas is a wonderful dining experience you will not be disappointed.
I have been here a few different times and we love the place. The service and food is always amazing. The last time I was here I ordered take out after a football game. Crystal waited on me and was super sweet. I went to wait in my car and when my food was ready she brought it out to my car. It was so unexpected and super appreciated.Thanks Crystal for the wonderful service!!!
This was our first time here since the new owners took over.We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food, large portions, great service and great prices. Everything from the appetizer to dessert was a tasty dish, excellently prepared in house, fresh. We plan on making Pimiento a regular eating place. A must try for anyone craving fine Spanish/ Mexican food.
This place USED to be awesome. HOWEVER, just like most of the other Spanish/Caribbean restaurants around here, they’ve become white washed! There’s no more authenticity. There’s no original flavors! Everything is bland and NASTY tasting! If you want REAL SPANISH FOOD, go to BRUNILDA CUCHIFRITO ON EASTMAIN STREET in Middletown. It’s a bit more pricey but your tastebuds will appreciate you for it
They should really change the name of the place cause the old owners cook very good food alcapuria was not good at all made wrong, monfongo was drenched in water, WATER does not go in as a sauce that was crazy it was cilantro water , worst part is I noticed no one but the waiter was the only one apologizing she told the owner and the cook and not one came to say a word , the cook sticks his head out when we leaving just to see who returned the food but cant face a displeased customer the food there horrible I will never go eat there again and wouldnt recommend to anyone who loves hispanic food the name should be changed cause its not the same at all very nice place but with bad food its a no for me
Food was delicious. Nice clean and friendly place. Great place.
Amazing Latin food, I had a cemita and my husband the ultimate burger... both were delicious!!! Monguitos are so good too 👍👍
Ok am a big food guy, also a pretty good cook, and this place hit the spot, clean friendly staff, food was nyc quality, a mix of columbian, Puerto Rican and Dominican food, no need to go to the city for great food, my new spot
Delightful service and delicious food. Great place to eat and drink
Had a great time dining here. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. Make sure to try the Garlic Mojito sauce. It tastes good with everything.
Pleasantly surprised, food was excellent. Seasoned well, and taste like home spanish cooking. Also very affordable
Had an amazing lunch there a few weeks ago. For an app we shared the empanadas. They were fabulous. The Cubano was absolutely delicious. The arroz con pollo was also amazing. A must get is the Yuca fries. The prices are terrific and the service was great. So much better than a chain restaurant and prices are better than going to one of those. Highly recommend!!!!!
Had a very pleasant dinner at Minas Spanish Kitchen tonight. The atmosphere and service was good and the food was delicious! Well be visiting again. Prices were reasonable.
Great service, food was good, and if Im in the area again I will def consider going again. Oh btw they have a 2 person challenge, you have to eat this amazing Torta worth $50 in 15 mins, if you complete it, its free.
Great food cant say enough everything was great drinks were good prices reasonableI have been back since name change food is same if not better I cant say enough about how great the food is at this place my mouth waters every time I think of the pernil it is to die for good
Always amazing food that makes me feel right at home. The best PR food Ive had besides my grandmothers
I had my birthday dinner party there. AND EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. Miguel went above and beyond to make this experience wonderful for all of my guests. The food is great and the service is even better. I will give it 10 stars if that was a rating.
Attentive service. The alcapurrias were over cooked and as a result hard as rocks. The mofongo with pernil was very good. Full service bar, but was not impressed with the Coco loco. The rice and chicken was greasy with over cooked tough pieces of chicken.
Bomb burger 😍😍 kudos to the chef it hit the spot and subbing out the bread for avocado was so easy
I was here recently with an entire club of about 40 ppl. They served all of us and the food was super delicious. I had a Cuban sandwich with Yuka fries. Yummy!!! And to top it off the meals are very affordable.
Food is great, fresh and looks just as good.
First time here and Im already sold with with the friendly service.I got a Cuban sandwich and yucca fries which was very delicious havent had decent Cuban in a long time and they killed it in a good way those yucca are plus to the dish. Really happy I stop by today
The service n food are phenomenal here 👍🏼👍🏼🤤
Excellent food, reasonable prices. Great value!
I love this placeNew owners are very nice. Food is delicious and service is great. Always coming back.
Beautiful decor, quick and friendly service and the food...totally awesome!!! Would highly recommend checking them out...you wont be disappointed!
Came in for some Spanish coffee and it was amazing. This picture is my double Espresso shot. Staff was nice and its a nice cozy spot.
I’m Colombian I was not expecting the same like my country but this was horrible, the pork was only fat without meat, half of one sausage, the meat The flesh so thin that I could see the other person on the other side, the sweet plantain OMG I can’t described , the true i was so hungry only I ate the rice and all food finish in the garbage , if you want really good food I will continue buying in the Capicú Latin Cuisine I do not rehearse again so as not to have these negative experiences
I’m not sure if the Resturant has a new owner but I must say the food does not taste the same. Also I ordered Steak with onions and what I got was the fake chopped up steak that the deli sell like when you order Philly cheese steak sandwich. I would never order steak again then it’s so expensive for fake steak!! SMH 🤦♀️
Love the place its really good food but the smell of cigars is intoxicating and kids could feel sick
Ok so just wanna say that the food and the service was best I have ever had. Put a big to go order in and the man on the phone helped me order things some Ive had and some I havent explained in detail what everything was. the food was down rite delicious and we ordered alot 😋
The food is incredible!! Next best thing to my own Puerto Rican dishes!! Love it!
The service and friendliness of the staff is absolutely 5 stars. The restaurant has a beautiful bar. The food was okay. ( The arepa con queso are Great!) The carne guisada was dry, maybe if you get it in a separate container from the rice itll be better. The pollo saltado wasnt the traditional sauce it was okay flavor wise. Ceviche, just no. The kids meal was good, chicken chunks with rice and beans. Im gonna try them one more time but with simpler menu items like chicharron de pollo, carne de cerdo frito, quesadilla, fajitas, mofongos, canola, or empanadas. Crossing fingers.
I went to this place to try it out looking for Puerto Rican food. The service very good, friendly and the place nice and clean. I ordered relleno de papá, alcapurria, mofongo con pollo and Cuban sandwich.Relleno de papá was not bad, the alcapurria was good, the mofongo with chicken worst I eaten the chicken should be pulled chicken in sauce not pieces of chicken like drum stick, thigh will give a 0 rating on that also the Cuban sandwich no good the pork to salty over seasoned and over cooked. Did not eat it all, sorry to say but the chef have to take some classes. Will not go back
Great atmosphere, great food, delicious food. Cintrón is the best!!
Have been going to it’s multiple location from when they were Minas have tried all locations, I was highly disappointed this evening, I’m an hour away and was shopping in the area and like I mentioned have always enjoyed their food. Food was dry, no flavor, won’t be going back, ever. Everything we had from appetizers to the beans and Entrées, was bad, real bad .
Great food and music! Our waitress Alyssa had great customer service 👍. Now the Manager that was serving at the bar was soooooo unprofessional. All she did was talk about her personal business and other peoples as well. And the cursing was so out of hand throwing F Bombs like it was a hang out. She wasnt wearing her mask properly it was hanging under nose and she kept pulling it down 🤢. I think its time for a new Manager.
Seated as soon as we arrived. Took longer than expected before the one waitress greeted us and took our drink order. Food was delicious and came out rather quickly. Restaurant was super cold. Unfortunately the way the design is when you open one door it sucks the warm air out and the cold air comes right in. The owner did buy a heater to help make a difference but they need another door to trap the air...When we used the bathroom it was so toasty in there. So the heat was on...just the design so we were super cold.Would go again in warmer weather. Food was delicious.
Ordered food to take out and all i can say is absolutely delicious. I ordered the arroz con pollo. It was so flavorful and filling. As you can tell i really enjoyed the food. Ill be back soon to try a different dish.
Great food, so fresh! This is the only place that I have been able to find ceveche. The pernil is so tender is just Falls apart.Absolutely delicious
Tried it once and will definitely go again. Food is a bit pricey but I did enjoy my chicken stew. Service is friendly. Space is cozy but I didnt dine-in.
Went today with my daughter & had a wonderful dinner. Food was delicious, and the waitress was a very friendly girl. Will be going back.
Good food, delicious desserts, very friendly service. Just need to pay a little attention to the restrooms. 👍👍
Food And drinks are Awesome A Great Place to Eat with Family & Friends .My Favorite is almost everything on the Menu .They Also Offer Happy Hour /Great appetizers...The atmosphere is amazing and the owners are welcome everyone as if you are Family . Best Place to Eat in Middletown Ny ...
This food is one of the worst Spanish food I have ever eaten in my life . Absolutely no flavor. I tried to block them from my selections on door dash, if I could rate them less than 1 Star I would. All those other positive reviews must be from the employees.
Different Latin flavors but not traditional food
Good food nice staff but still no liquor license and that one hurts, I recommend the horchata delicious
The food is awesome love this place all the people were very nice this was my first time Ill be back
Food took a minute but it is DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT. all delicious and fresh with a very friendly staff. Would visit again next time Im passing through town.
Ive been going to Minas locations for a number of years now. It has been fantastic to see this business grow. A large portion of my friends frequent here as well. Ive never has issues with my food or the service. Food always hits the spot and the staff in Middletown, as well as the other locations has always been great! I would recommend trying this restaurant if you have to already!
Dining in or taking out their food is alway on point, fresh and hot!! Everything I have tried from them is nothing short or delicious. The staff is extremely friendly. Love their outdoor patio too.
Came there for a late lunch. We sat on the patio..our server, (I think her name was Rosa) was wonderful.. receiptsays ORDER:Patio 311. She was wonderful. The food was great as usual. And we will be back...good job!
Had a great experience here. I ordered mofongo and it was delicious. Our server was quick and took good care of us. Prices were also great for the amount and quality of food we ordered. Drinks were fantastic as well!
Authentic Spanish food! Fantastic staff and the ambiance is well fitted. Now for the food... ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THIS WORLD! Hands down the best Ive had (other than my wife) from Sullivan County, Ulster and Orange! I cant go through Middletown without stopping and getting a few things to take back home! Always fast and friendly service and you cant beat the prices!
This place is Great! The food is delicious and tasty. I don’t eat pork however, I love shrimp mofongo. They made it for me without the pork! The garlic sauce and my shrimp mofongo was to die for!!! Thank you so much for going the extra yard! I really appreciate great customer service!!
We’ve been hitting this place twice a month since it was called Mina’s Spanish Kitchen. I like that the menu features a variety of Latin cuisine—Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Tex-Mex, etc. My wife—who’s gluten intolerant—likes that she can get sandwiches on tostones rather than on bread. The atmosphere is great inside. In warmer months, you can sit outside. The view there is of Rt. 211, so it’s nothing special, but we like sitting outside when we can. The owners are generally on site, the staff is friendly, the food is great, and the prices are reasonable. Plus, the bar does Happy Hour M-F, 4-7 PM. Recommended!
The food is delicious, the staff is excellent, the vibe is cool. If you like food that has flavor, drinks that do the job, stop in for some good times. Charlie and his team were awesome! Can’t wait to go back! Try the Chuletas!
Food was phenomenal. Portions are Huge which is worth it. Best Cuban Sandwich in the Hudson Valley. Our waitress was amazing kept up with us and was conversating with us often which we loved. A definite well done from us.
Food was average. For the price of meal they should have added a vegetable or salad. I asked if a waiter who was Hispanic to translate the menu in Spanish for my friend who only speak a little English she walked away and no one returned to translate. So we sat for a good lengthy amount of waiting for a waitress. Finnaly I called a waiter over to serve us. And only spoke English so we ordered our meal forgetting about the translation. My friend insist on leaving. And convinced him to stay. We never returned.
Food was really good, the tres leches cake was amazing. The only thing is the waitress charged us for things that she shouldnt have. We didnt notice till the next day or so. Other than that I highly recommend.
Awesome tasty delicious flavorful food!! Great chill spot!! If your sensitive to cigarette and cigar smell like me just take it to go!! Besides that its an awesome place and servers are very friendly!!
Went for lunch. Place smelled like cigarettes and spilled margaritas. The waitresses couldn’t be bothered to get off their phones and provide decent service. Food was average at best. If not for the terrible service, I’d give three stars.
A excellent place to enjoy some spanish cuisine. The meats are tender, the fried goods are fried to perfection and everything is bursting with flavor. They also have delicious spanish themed drinks and a great bar. Definitely worth a visit and is fairly priced as well.
Great customer service, the staff are so friendly and nice. The food is good as well. If you like Latin food you can go wrong.
I have been cooking and eating Spanish food all my life! When I dont have time to cook, Minas is my place to go!!! The pernil is so tender and flavorful, the rice and black or red beans tastes just like home. The prices cant be beat and the staff are kind and professional! Minas will always be my place to go for home Spanish home cooking!!! ❤❤❤❤
This place has great food ! Not only do we try to eat here frequently , but we have also used their catering services . On and off premises . The food is always delicious and worth the money .
If we could put ten stars we would!BRITTANY was terrific and so sweet, with excellent menu recommendations. The food was out of this world..if you havent tried it please make your way there !! Bartender makes excellent drinks too my favorite was the Coco Loco. So happy and full!
I was recently in town for a friends fathers funeral and after service they suggested pimiento for a meal and i was very impressed. with such a large party (20) they handled it very well wait staff keep a smile on the whole time..the food was absolutely amazing the yucca frys were so light and airy and the empanadas were so tasty after our meal i ordered some of both as a to go snack for later ..being from Boston Im a little disappointed i wont be around these parts but if i was local i would be a guaranty frequent flyer
My visit was disappointing. The food tasted bland and greasy. The food was a little overpriced and the amount of food minimal. I ordered the Cuban sandwich. The highlight should be the roast pork; instead the small amount of meat was swimming in mustard and the ham that should enhance the taste of the Cuban was cold. Wont be back. thanks
Great Spanish food at a reasonable price. Wait staff is polite and compitant. I cannot think of one thing to complain about. I highly recommended this restaurant
Have gone here before was always good definitely has changed waited over 50 minutes for my to go order and didnt order much and wasnt that busy then when i get home meat was over cooked not a good feeling spending over$45 and waiting all that time for poor quality after always being good before .
First time here for my besties bday. FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL. Though it was a little chilly in the tent … the heating lamps made it better. The owners are friendly and very attentive. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Oh I said that.... LOL. Overall I enjoyed it very much. Good place for authentic Latin food .. undoubtedly. Only drank the Sangria but looked like the drinks were on point too.
Very good food! I have the bandeja paisa and it was absolutely delicious! I also received an outstanding customer service from my waitress her name was lady! And she went above and beyond to make sure that everything was okay!!Thank you lady!
I’ve ordered the same thing from here 3 times.The pernil with Arroz con & a few sides. All three times the pernil has been dry.Its hard for me to enjoy it.Everything else I ordered is flavorful.
Heard about the place from a friend. Im pretty picky when it comes to eating Spanish food. Heard it was the New place in town with good food so decided to give it a try. 1st of all, they had no to go menus which isnt a big deal. I place my order - and waiting for about 15 minutes when the waiter comes out and says they dont have something on the menu that I had ordered, again - no big deal - I selected an alternative option. Wait another 15 minutes, finally get the food and leave. Get ready to eat the food and theres stuff missing. No utensils and they did not give me the beans I had ordered with the white rice. Id like to say the 1st impression isnt a good one here. Ill be sure to check my bags prior to leaving IF I ever decide to order from there again. OH and PS - the pork was EXTRA salty. Wasnt good at all... Ive cooked it better and Ive only made it 1 time, lol. Wayyy to salty.
Do not confuse this place with the Minas in Monroe. It fails in comparison. My lady and I were initially excited to see one open up in Middletown so we went shortly after its Grand Opening. We sat for approxinately 40 minutes (after our order was taken) and walked out because we got tired of waiting for our food. Mind you, the place only had a few scattered customers (at approx 1pm). Our server (who was a nice kid) told us the kitchen was slammed with phone orders. The reason for slow service. I honestly did not see that much going on in the back, nor did I smell food! We went to Outback instead. We recently gave it another chance hoping that we went to early the last time. This time, our food did come out quick but the portions on everything we ordered were very small. I had to immediately ask for more beans because I was served 1/2 the cup. While I wish this business success, I will be going back to the Minas in Monroe (20 miles away). Ive not had anything less than what I expect from a PR meal everytime I go. We even heard today that the two establishments are separate ownership.
I had just stopped in for the first time last night to try some Spanish food.i did not realize they had a full liquor bar so that was the place to sit...( dining room full).the only place except for outside, which was not an option for me. I entrusted the bar tender to choose for me something small that she liked....it was very tasty and I ate it all...one more thing , Kaitlynn the bar tender was wonderful!, she made me a perfect Dirty martini. I will definitely will be going back to see her and try more of their Spanish Cusine.Tony
Loved it! Authentic food, great atmosphere and service. The cook was able to do a special request that exceeded my expectations. We will be back next rime we are in the area.
Ive been to your restaurant a few times and was quite impressed although I usually order 3 of the same items. Today I took a chance and got mofungo with pork chunks. The plantains were very good BUT THE PORK WAS AWFUL!!!! I dont know how many times they were refried, I could not eat 1. I wish I could send you a picture to see for yourself how over cooked and dry they were. Very disappointed with this dish that I was so looking forward to eating.A little afraid to venture from my 3 usual order items...sad customer.
Well, I was recently disappointed with the change. The cook is definitely different. The white rice I ordered had hard grains in it, the Platano Maduro was an over ripened platano that was basically, very soft and was falling apart and some were like soupy. I could not finish the dinner and my family had some complaints also. Very sorry to see this happen. Was not the same.
Love this place. Good Caribbean food at decent prices. Had the Bacalao Guisado. Wonderful, salty stew! My husband had the Chuletas (pork chops). These were melt-in-your-mouth! Definitely a place to return to.
First time having Spanish food. Food was delicious but very rich. A lot of garlic. Pork was incredibly tender and tasted amazing with fried mashed plantains. Incredible flavor togethet. Great price and plenty of food.
Absolutely delicious. 12/10 would recommend. Packed with flavor, juicy meats, and STRONG yet delightful drinks.
Ive ordered dinner from here every so often and Ive always tried something different and havent been steered wrong, each dish has been a wonderful experience. Recently tried the Lomo Saltado Colombiano with white rice, and loved it. The bartender also made me a drink that went perfectly with my meal.
They food was very good, and the portions were good as well. The blonde young lady at the front was very kind and attentive and friendly. Great experience, cant wait to go back.
I make it my mission to go there every Tuesday. The food is so good. My favorite is the half chicken and rice with red beans! Yummy yummy!
Hands down the worst Spanish food Ive ever had. I ordered the carne guisada and the beef was very dry and not accompanied with a sauce. The beans for the rice and beans had no flavor. Entire meal actually was flavorless and including my empanadas but I cannot get over the dryness of the meat. Barely edible. Im only giving two stars for the tres leches cake. Would not recommend.
I definitely will not be coming back here. The service is incredibly slow and the wait staff is inattentive even though there are many servers. I was initially put off by the atmosphere that tries too hard to be trendy, the lack of air conditioning, and the above market prices. I ordered lunch items and it still took over an hour to get my food despite not being busy. The alcapurria was gummy and flavorless, and the one flavor the canoa had was grease. The yuca fries were ok but underdone and seemed to be processed rather than house made. The Cubano sandwich that my parents ordered wasnt even the quality of a gas station. It was a carelessly made cold cut sandwich with none of the advertised hallmarks of a true Cubano such as hot pressed bread. The highlight of the entire meal was the mojito dressing that I had to request for the yuca fries. There was no attempt by management to come over to the table after numerous food items were sent back, and at no point did I feel like they cared about receiving my business. Unfortunately, theres nothing authentic or good about the food they served. Save your money and go anywhere else.
This is by far one of the worst restaurants in the area. Not only is the staff incompetent they are rude. After messing up my to go order they tried to charge me more money to correct the order which took them 30 minutes to fix ONE order. Then upon getting home the rest of the food now being ice cold after having been out for almost an hour I come to realize more of my food was missing items or just not what I ordered. Unless you want to be extremely dissapointed I suggest avoiding this place at all cost!
Service is great. Hostes Brittany was an excellent and so pleasant and friendly. Bartender was excellent as well. Food wasnt the best, had better. The one on Monroe taste better.
Food was good, good service. Portions are medium sized. I would prefer a more aunthentic cuisine. Stick to Caribbean rather than trying to offer so many countries dishes, arepas from Venezuela, Paisa from Colombia. It doesnt work for me...
Really disappointed. Fried chicken looked and tasted like frozen chicken bites. Middletown location smelled like cigarettes. Too pricey and not authentic Spanish food. Needs a lot of improvement for us to return.
The most amazing food ever. We traveled from Southern California because friends recommended the place. Fresh and made to order with excellent service. We are foodies and we would love to order their mojo by the gallon.The alcapurrias, tostones, yucca fries, empanadas with chicken and beef, Cuban sandwich and carne guisada were a gastronomic experience no one should miss.The most impressive item was the dirty mojito that the owner Lina made. I have visited Cuba but her Mojito was the most authentic and refreshing I’ve had in the states.The cafe con leche was a the perfect close to the most Devine meal. This is a do NOT miss place in Orange County and worth the visit from NYC.
With out a doubt the best Latin Cuisine in the Hudson Valley. My family and I go so often weve pretty much become a Pimiento Family extension. Delicious always, over the top service, dancing and singing in your seat to the music. BTW try the Pernil if you havent had it, authenticity level 9000. Come hungry, leave full, and become part of the Family!
Wonderful place!....food is prepared consistently to the highest quality and freshest flavor! I dine here at least twice a week....best Spanish food around....great prices and service.Everyone is friendly and service is excellent.
Went for takeout on a recommendation from my son, Got the traditional pork with rice & black beans & an order of fried calamari . All was all excellent & made my wife happy. I will be back again to try other dishes.
Food is good, never disappointed. Love their lunch specials.
My wife and I ordered to go. We ordered the canoa and papa rellena for appetizers. The appetizers were good. No complaints about either one. Would definitley order those again. My wife had the coconut shrimp entree and was satisfied with it. The tostones were not very good though. They were mushy and not crispy like a tostone should be and the accompanying mojo for them was not flavorful at all. I ordered the traditional pernil and was disappointed to say the very least. The arroz con gandules had no flavor whatsoever and the pernil had no flavor either. I am puertorican myself and have had food from the famed Guavate on the island. I make better arroz con gandules and pernil myself. Unfortunately there is more flavor in a hungry man dinner than there is the dish I had. COME ON!!!!!!!!! If you cant nail such a traditional dish as arroz con gandules with pernil then I just do not want to taste anything else on the menu. Unfortunately its just another run of the mill puertorican restaurant that fools people who dont know any better into thinking this is what traditional puertorican food tastes like.
Food was ok/good. But the service needs work and the wait for the food was ridiculously long was about to leave Need to step up the game and atmosphere as well as the interiordecor and decorating felt like they just threw the place together with out any thought
The food is good the staff is amazing very friendly and welcoming. It was early dinner and getting busy but theyre work very well and all with a smile on they faces I would so recommend this place to others
Wonderful food great service!!!
The food is delicious and the service is great. The place has a nice comfortable feel to it.
I cook better at home. 3 tables and our server was very busy. No offer of water. Overpriced
Ordered lunch for my dealership today, everything was fantastic. The pernil was perfect and the chicken stew was unbelievable. I will be adding Minas to my normal rotation for Saturday lunches!
Have been to the Minas in new Windsor and had a good experience. Middletown, not so much. We were greeted attentively and were escorted to the patio. The table was dirty, and sticky. Clearly hadnt been wiped since its last occupant s as we could see/ feel the rings from the previous glasses. Our food expensive. 3 mofongos, 3 beers, 2 empanadas and 2 alcapurrias $95.00.for the quality of the food , service, and cleanliness of our table, I guess I expected more or to pay less
I had high hopes for this new restaurant but sadly I can only give this a 2 star. Our server was the finest of servers weve had since moving to this area. But its a mismatch for the restaurant that she works in. We ordered 1 alcupuria, 1 papa rellena, the rabo (oxtail) and the arroz con pollo. The alcupuria tasted as if the root vegetable they used was not ripe or was used before it was ready. The side guisado sauce was too watery. The papa rellena was just ok. The oxtail was a major let down. Between it being made in a heavy tomato base verses a natural brown gravy the onions were uncooked. On the positive the white rice was good and so were the frijoles colorados. But the arroz con pollo was terrible. Frozen corn, string beans and diced carrots have no business being in the authentic classic dish. White chicken chunks were used in place of chicken meat on the bone which gives the dish so much more moisture and flavor. It was drowning in sweet peas as well. No pimento as a garnish to finish the classic. Avocado on either side was added but shouldnt have for the sake of those who have food allergies. I ordered a piece of cuero (pig skin cracklin) that comes off the pork shoulder which is supposed to be flavored with garlic and spices and is supposed to be to many a desired portion, a highlight-- a treat of a pernil dish. It was put in the friolator and delivered horribly burnt! How the chef put that out is unexplainable. My personal opinion when it comes to the type of items you place on your menu is that you should make it as authentic as the classic recipe. If you are a fusion or nouveau style restaurant let it be known in your name and your branding. I take great offense when a restaurant puts a twist on an authentic meal most specifically Hispanic food because you lose the authenticity in the translation of the dish. Additionally, pick a country and stick with it. Meaning if you want to sell Cuban sandwiches your menu should be all Cuban. Mixing the menu up to include Mexican tacos with Puerto Rican alcupurias and Colombian bandejas is reaching way to far. Stick to the classic recipes from one country and become an expert then you will not fail. The restaurant also needs a vestibule to control all the cold air that comes in from the doors.Hopefully they will change a few things around. Otherwise, Im sorry but I dont see this restaurant sticking around for too long. I had such great hopes.
The meals and service were ahead of our expectations. I surely loved the ambience of this restaurant. First-rate place to take the family out for lunch.
Great service the drinks and food was delicious. The waitress did her job well. Definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone
If you love well cooked good food with a twist of nice wines. Look no further, Minas got what you want need and love. The food is great along with the people.
Nicely spaced outdoor seating; delicious food and drinks. Tables and chairs were immediately cleaned between customers. Awesome customer service...
I think this is the best Spanish spot in town. They also have a bar if youre looking for some drinks. I think pricing is reasonable their prices are not too cheap or not expensive.Theres cheaper places in town but know youre paying for what you get.
Food was a bit salty, but good service.
Lina and Stephen did not disappoint. They catered my mothers 90th surprise birthday party a weekago. Although I had eaten at the Middletown restaurant before deciding on Minas for the party, I was nervous. Well, everyone LOVED the food. We ordered stewed chicken, garlic chicken, pepper steak, tostones and maduros. The guests raved about the food which helped make the party a success. I will definitely have Minas cater future events. Thank you Lina and Stephen!
Good atmosphere.Courteous staff.Excellent price.Great food and drinks.

Not authentic at all. Ordered the Carne Guisada only got 3 pieces of dried meat, 2 pieces of potatoes and carrots and no sauce. This was no beef stew. But at least I got a whole lot of white rice. Never again.
The food was good. The people who work there are friendly.
Super delicious food and incredibly friendly staff!
Good food beautiful staff especially the 4pm shift on a Thursday
The food drinks and customer service is always amazing! when our customers in Sprint ask wheres a good place to eat spanish food its always Minas!
Service was slow, pick up took 45min, (order was placed in the restaurant) restaurant wasnt that busy. Chicken was little salty. I like Minas hope service gets better.
Very disappointed prices are too high not enough food I have been to hundreds of restaurants around the world. No hot sauce on the table no salt and pepper no bread beer $6 for a Modelo thats crazy good luck never see me there again

Delicious food, tasty drinks complimented by a professional, courteous and friendly staff.
Great past and good atmosphere. Brink oven pizzas and italian sauces by the book. little pricey
Great local gem for authentic Spanish food!! Service was awesome! Love the canoas!
Not bad, beans are good, Im strict when it comes to Spanish beans. The rest of the food was good, monfongo was fine, not the best but passable.
Delicious food, best costumer service. Highly recommended
Its alright. Small inside. Not a big place to bring kids and sit down and eat. Food was good.
Food was great. Service was great. Real margaritas! Good stuff.
Carne Asada was amazing! I was anticipating this place to open up as soon as I saw the construction. Wasnt disappointed! Awesome food!
The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. Good passion fruit margarita!
First time ordering from Pimiento and it wont be the last. Food was excellent!!!
Overpriced.Lack of taste and quality.Does not embody authenticity.Great staff and very cordial.
Chicken stew below average, red beans watery.. only thing good was the sweet plantains..
They should change the name again. It used to be Meena, now it’s Pimiento the next name should be Basura because the food was trash.
Drinks were good and so was the food but the plantain in the mofongo was boiled not fried not ok.

2022-01-26This place is nice. It seems like they are not just focused on one type of nationality for food. They they have plenty to choose from. I was greated right away. Staff is nice and of course bilingual. I ordered to go everything that I said I wanted was done exactly how I said it. The food was good I would try other stuff from here in the future I recommend this spot.

2021-04-14The customer service I received at Pimento was very pleasant. The food was very tasty and not greasy or salty like other places it was just right. I went 2 days in a row and both times I had a great experience. First day I dined in and 2nd day I ordered curbside.

2022-05-15THE WORST RESTAURANT EVER...FOOD NEVER HAS FLAVOR ITS LITERALLY TRASH!!!!!!! Mofongo was drench in water, not sauce like I asked. Horrible cooking, no love in their food at all. Taste like they reheat it before serving. Pure trash. Never again. I Gave them 3 tries they failed every time.
Review №8
2022-03-21The rice and beans tasted burnt, yet oily when placed in a container with the pernil. The pernil was decent in taste and good portion, but we got a lot of the dark, fatty parts and it tasted reheated, not fresh. The chicken and beef empanadas were dry, definitely made earlier in the day and just re-fried & darker for us now at dinnertime. Everything tasted reheated or like refried leftovers. Nothing fresh at all. I never had such a terrible experience in the past dining in or ordering out from this restaurant, but today, I was utterly distgusted and completely unsatisfied.
Review №9
2022-06-06The meat was full of fat and grizzle I couldnt eat it and the mafongo was Soggy and tasteless didnt seem fresh to me and was served with the wrong sauce. I was looking forward to eating dinner after a long night of work.. Needless to say was very disappointed and will not be back.
