Sabores - City of New York

I ordered a shrimp soup, and it had a terrible smell and an overwhelming amount of achiote. The broth was a strange orange-red color, and I could barely taste the shrimp. I called the restaurant to express my disappointment, but they took no action or offered any solutions. I ended up having to leave without anything to eat, as my break was over. The soup lacked flavor overall, and the excessive achiote completely overpowered it.

The atmosphere was calm and enjoyable, and the service was excellent. I might consider visiting again after my gym workouts or when I'm not in the mood to prepare dinner.

I ordered combo number 7 just now. Picked it up. Went home. The rice was not even cooked. I had pork chops with rice beans and tostones for my family to eat dinner. And because the rice was extremely undercooked. Our meal was incomplete. We had to cook our own rice to complete our meal. So instead I went to Uber eats and ordered food from another restaurant. Stay away from this place. Not worth it.

I really enjoy this place! It's perfect for a casual meal and offers a great selection. The atmosphere is clean and traditional, and the coffee is fantastic as well.

First of al it’s CLEANNN! Second of all, it’s not outdated looking inside. Most of all, their food is consistently amazing every time after years! I haven’t even ate chicken in years until I was in the area and couldn’t resist! There are no plenty of Dominican restaurants in NYC but there’s no promise that their chicken will always be flavorful and not dry. God bless this place ??
