Dominican restaurant ★4.0 (140)·$10–20

55-02 108th St, Corona, NY 11368, USA

4.0
I was really looking forward to the Yaroa after a long day, but unfortunately, it was a major letdown. The meal tasted old and overly salty, and the chicken looked anything but fresh—definitely not appetizing. The smell was off-putting too, which only made the experience worse.Also, they barely put any sauce on it. I had to add my own ketchup just to get some flavor (you can see that in the first two pictures). I can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but if you're thinking about ordering the Yaroa, do yourself a favor and skip it—you’ll thank me later. - Millam Almonet
