El Cofre

This is an indispensable neighborhood spot. Authentic, cafeteria style Dominican food. They have many roast meats options, lots of stews, puff pastries that looked similar to empanadas, and different kinds of rice as well as beans. They also do a variety of soups. The lady who made my plate was so sweet and gave me recommendations, and filled my plate with HEAPS of food, thank you! The roast pork with red beans and rice was delicious. The pork was succulent and generously portioned. They put a few spoonfuls of meat sauce over the food which made the plate extra juicy and flavorful. Very cheap prices! Best value on Myrtle Ave 100%. My plate of sooo much rice, beans and roast port was only $11. It was really two servings worth of food. They also do a lunch deal for $10. I am so glad I tried this place out. I will be back! The roast chicken looked amaaaazing!

The food, atmosphere, and everything is perfect! Wouldn't expect anything less. Highly Recommended through and through. Highly Recommended: What I advise everyone to do when rolling up to here to relax read, work, have a meeting, study, or whatever is to call ahead to get a feel for how busy it is, and or check out the GOOGLE peak times estimator as it's USUALLY right. The worst is when you show up ready to get your write-on and there's no seats, and about 15 people ahead of you waiting for people to stop... whatever it is that they're doing. Get early, and just because you bought doesn't mean there's a seat for everyone!

I'm so glad i found this spot, having lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years the place hits the spot anytime I'm craving Latin food. Food is fresh, tasty and good quality. The prices are super reasonable for the area especially the $10 lunch special and the portions are definitely on the larger side. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is pretty nice too and the place is kept clean. Highly recommend for some delicious cheap Latin food.
