Nelly Latin - Village of Chester

Just went there this afternoon and was well worth it! As a Dominican, I am very particular about our food and most places don't quite get it. However they are spot on, the flavor is so authentic. So delicious and the server there was very kind. Can't waitto go back soon!

Disgusting. Not only did our order have incorrect and missing items, but the food didn?t taste good. Mofongo was dry and didn?t have any sauce. Empanadas were very light on the filling and lacked any flavor or seasoning. The chicken was completelyovercooked and dry. Plenty of better places to get empanadas around here, (Christopher?s, Empanada Master, Zoe?s Latin Cafe).

I 'm surprised this place doesn 't have a better rating. I live in Chester and have been here probably 30-40 times. I believe they cook food in the back to order, but they also have a cafeteria line up of ready to go food with 2-3 kinds of rice,black/red beans, a couple soups, potato/shrimp salad, fried/sweet plantains, and like 8 kinds of meats, this is my onlyexperience with this place. I 'm sure the food to order is great and I really need to try give it a try, but I often don 't havea lot of time, and to stop in and within a couple minutes have some amazing slow cooked food that I got faster than fast food options in Chester and got more food for the same or less than if I purchased garbage food . I 'll get a beef stew dinner withrice, with some beans and a small thing of sweet plantains on the side and its like ~18.56 with tax, it 's enough to feed me andmy gf. I 'm 270 and I eat well enough to make any grandma proud, sometimes I 've gone to mcd 's for us and spent 25-30 and I don 'tfeel as full as nelly 's and I FOR SURE don 't feel good or like I had a complete meal. I end up leaving half the sweet plantainsfor a late night snack, not sure if it 's weird but I love them cold. The to go food is almost always a hit, very rarely will Ihave some dry rice/meat depending on the time of day I went and when it came out of the kitchen, but over nearly 2 years ofcoming here they are on point 98% of the time and I assume when they cook smaller dishes to order they have a better control onthe dish. It 's one of those places we order from 2 times a month easily, and when I 'm lazy, I 'm in there every week. Every kindof entree protein I 've ever had from them was excellent, the beef on a good day is 11/10. If you get any stewed meats they 'llusually ask if you want extra gravy on the rice, you probably know this already, but you better say yes.

Nelly?s dinner combo, hits the point for my family of four. The days, we?re hanging out late, family comes over or on a hot day. And I don?t feel like melting in the kitchen. Nelly?s meals is delicious and fulling.

This place hit the spot, that lunch was delicious. Passion fruit Juice was unforgettable, love the portions and the price .
