The food here is incredibly flavorful and delicious, especially the sancocho, beans, longaniza, and pig's feet, which stand out even compared to other well-known spots. The staff, including the owner, were very attentive and made sure my order was perfect, with hot food arriving on time despite the late hour. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but the quality and taste made it well worth the wait-I'm definitely coming back for more.

I absolutely love the food at Que Sabrosura! Restaurant & Bar, it's so flavorful and the staff is super friendly. This place beats out all the other Dominican spots in the Bronx, like Caridad, El Valle, and Malecón. The sancocho was surprisingly good, and the beans and longaniza were a must-try. Que Sabrosura! Restaurant & Bar is a gem in the neighborhood, with delicious food at reasonable prices and attentive service.
