M K Spanish - Staten Island

Authentic Spanish restaurant, great food and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this place for lunch or early dinner, because the menu kind of shrinks around 5 to 6 PM due to most Spanish food being made in large quantities.

I stop here every time I’m on Staten Island. Rice, beans, and pulled pork are unbeatable. Low price, friendly servers (who every time I’m there unfortunately are dealing with very un-friendly customers), stay or go.

The food is delicious, but the service is very slow-paced.

Today was my first visit to M K, so I cannot speak to the consistency of the food or service here. However, I can only share my personal experience, which was incredibly pleasant thanks to the kindness and hospitality of the female servers. In my opinion, the food was not too oily. I ordered chicken with brown rice.

This Spanish restaurant, which is one of two owned by Dominicans, offers excellent food. Their white, yellow, or black rice with pink beans is consistently delicious. They serve a variety of meats such as chicken, beef, pork, goat, and fish in fried, boiled/stewed, or baked preparations. Their soups are also tasty, and they offer appetizers like pasteles and empanadas, as well as desserts like flan and cake. Customers can dine in or take their food to go. The restaurant is well-staffed with four or five employees at the counter serving and taking orders.
