As a Dominican, I can firmly say that Acuario cafe has my favorite Dominican food in the city outside of the uptown/Bronx area. Everyone who works there has always been super nice and I consider it to be one of my favorite places to get food in NYC for sure. Of course, Los Tacos and Jollibee also have a place in my heart as well.

[@HereBeBarr]

You know what’s up 🙌🏼

[@cynlulu2004]

Any recommendations for Dominican food in the Bronx?? :))

[@wannabesteve777]

$4 for a taco is stupidly expensive, even for NY and this is coming from someone that lives in LA. Also the Filipino cameraman seems very good at rating everything!

[@wolfplayer7815]

Yeah but they're good

[@pris_pris]

Agreeeeeeee

[@tk-unc]

Obviously I’m late. But as a Californian from the Central Valley (California). with taco trucks in every single city, in a 50 mile radius. I just had these tacos yesterday. They’re definitely worth the experience of trying. The Al Pastor didn’t taste like Al Pastor though. The asada was legit

I told my fiancé exactly what your wife told you about Los Tacos No. 1. I grew up between the border cities of Tijuana and San Diego, and these tacos are the best I’ve had in NY. The tortillas are handmade which in my opinion is the most important part of a taco. 🌮❤️

[@politemenace]

So glad you loved the empanadas from Empanada Mama - they also have a location on the LES! And thanks for the shout out!

[@HereBeBarr]

I also saw they have one on 40th! I didn't even realize til after the video was made haha. But it was fun to hit up hells kitchen. And THANKS for the tip.

Hey Ben! Just wanted to let you know that I got accepted to a residency program in NYC. Your videos over the last two years were a major factor in me deciding to apply (in addition to other thing's). 🙂 I'll be moving there in June, so if you (or anyone) has any tips or suggestions, they are welcomed! I'm so excited.

I wouldn’t call this a “cheap” eat but when it comes to VALUE, it’s De Mole in Williamsburg for me. Unlimited drinks and Mexican brunch dishes for two hours for $49. The quality of the food was excellent and the atmosphere matched. Highly recommend y’all give it a go.

[@mrmaestrom]

I was supposed to visit the USA including New York for the first time last year but COVID screwed all that up. These videos kinda let me daydream and visit NYC vicariously. Love it ❤️

[@krekre24]

Thank you. Book a random flight to NYC and need a bite to eat. Los Tacos was perfection.

[@chandlerbingbong]

That chicken & rice looked lush. After watching an evening show I'd get that dish from a street cart near the Port Authority building and hoover it up back at the hotel. 💖

[@romaczech75]

All of these places are on point. Acuario Cafe though....that's a true hidden gem. My co-worker led me on to it & I was hooked ever since. You're spot on about getting there at a certain time though b/c even though it may be hidden, it's well known & they run out quick! That's how you know it's good! Great video as always!

[@Max0927NY]

I've been to Aquario Cafe last time I was in NYC. In 2019 thanks to John. I lived the real experience of the worker because every time I go to NY from Italy I want to live real life feeling like a resident and not a tourist

[@minniec.9127]

I think Ben, yr camera guy, is a great addition to yr food review vdos. Should have him on all the time.

[@HereBeBarr]

Ben usually makes quick appearances. We'll bring him on more. He's always eating behind the scenes anyway.

Love your channel and how you show the real nyc on your channel, not the touristy-overhyped spots ! This is what nyc is all about !

Yes!! NY pizza suprema is the best in nyc hands down. Amazing vegan options too!!

[@mariar3715]

Ive had Empanada Mama on my list of places to try for a year. It looks soo good!!

[@StamfordBridge]

Considering how poor the food is around Times Square, I’d definitely recommend John’s. It’s a place that the tourists have also discovered, but if you don’t mind waiting a little in a massive space, the pizza is really good, and a great introduction to NYC food.

Pizza Suprema is our go to spot whenever we go to a show at the garden or hammerstein.

[@Max0927NY]

Pizza Suprema was my first spot one of the last times I went to NY. But honestly I don't think that pizza is so wonderful. Just my opinion as Italian traveller. 4 dollar is not 4 times better than 1 dollar of two brother's on 8 Ave and 38h

[@dewberry3043]

If you want to try Jollibee, the fastfood was created for Filipino taste and based on a McDonalds concept. Philippines was a former colony of US so you get that American influence marketing on the menu. So don't expect the same as American or Italian. That's why they offer rice :) .

[@MariaGonzalez-bz6yi]

I really appreciate the others amazing food thank y’all

[@kevinnorris6558]

I had fried chicken from that same Jollibees location in Manhattan and it was okay. That said, the chicken sandwiches were actually really good for the price. If I were to go back to Jollibees, it would be for the chicken sandwiches and the peach mango pie.

[@bobbygreig15]

My mouth started to water as John ate the empanada

[@pjcasale]

Pizza Suprema is the best if you order a fresh pie rather than a reheated slice. I highly recommend the marinara or grandma pie also. Better to spend the extra $$$ than get a dollar slice which usually tastes like garbage.

[@vailewalders1395]

I've been to NY Pizza Suprema I really like it really good but I don't fold too much pizza in a bite I like to savor it
