La Vega Restaurant

First time ordered from this restaurant and very disappointed. Used GrubHub. Waited for food 2 hours and 40 minutes. Food was ok. Lunch menu offers small and large option. «Large» means more lettuce, but not more meat. Just FYI. Will never order from them again.

Extremely disappointed. Ordered through Seamless last night. I got the «Paella a La Valenciana,» chicken tamales, and chicken empanadas. The paella wasn’t even close to authentic; it was simply a plate of rice (not saffron rice as I expected, but something tinted red – probably just a paprika seasoning) with meat on top. It was clear that none of it had been cooked together and there was no broth on the rice or meat. The meat «toppings» were giant chicken chunks (under-​seasoned), shrimp (okay, a little garlicky), and mussels that had been cut in half (making it hard to trust that they were safe for eating, since we couldn’t tell if they’d opened fully during the cooking process). None of it tasted fresh.
The tamales were okay – at first I was impressed at how huge they were, but upon eating realized they were mostly masa and very little filling. At least they were more edible than the «paella.» The empanadas were fine. I don’t think there’s much you can do to mess that up. I didn’t get to try anything else from their rather extensive menu and doubt I’ll be ordering with them again, but I thought it was especially odd that they didn’t offer the option to purchase sides (beans, rice, plantains) separately.
If you’re in Jamaica, you’re much (MUCH) better off going to Sangria. If you’re ordering from Seamless, you may order from Latin Cabana in LIC. They both take about an hour to deliver anyway, so you might as well get better tasting food in the process.

Ordered through seamless and very disappointed! I ordered a platter but no rice and beans came, the food and especially the wings taste like they’ve been left under a heat lamp all day. None of the food is as described. Never again. I wish negative stars was an option.

Only gave 2 stars because the food is good but Do not ! I repeat do not order over the phone or thru grub hub ! Go pick it up yourself or you will be waiting 2 hours or more … I live maybe 0.8 miles away maybe a 8 min walk. I ordered delivery thru grub hub and I’m still waiting since 7:30 pm its now almost 9:50 pm they kept saying 5 mins 10 mins but I waited for hours. Now The food is good I liked how great the lunch special prices are and its a nice amount of food Its also Authentic Spanish food ! but seriously not worth a two or three our wait as I write this review in still waiting on my food for 3 hours ! Lol go in yourself and eat in or take out, if you order take out and expect the food to come fast you will be in for arise awaking, starving and waiting for your food

I ordered my food TWO HOURS AGO and am still waiting for it. You can’t get more than one star if I can’t taste your food. The woman on the phone was sweet but that doesn’t help me get my order.

From the creator of Los Rancheros, Juan does it again. This place is very nicely decorated, friendly staff and a good selection of breakfast and lunches. Prices are great, food is great and the environment screams soho. Definitely a nice spot, which I will be visiting very often.
