Morena's Kitchen Bar & Restaurant

A Hidden Gem in Corona, Queens Everything about Morena’s Kitchen is amazing. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the warm, inviting energy and the space itself is absolutely beautiful. It feels like I’m back in the Dominican Republic at my grandma’s house. Lorena did an incredible job with the decor, creating a space that’s both cozy and vibrant. The food? Out of this world. Their happy hour deals are unbeatable $7 Patrón margaritas, flavorful oxtail rellenos, and the creative tostada de chivo are all must tries. Even the traditional dishes like the meatballs, moro de guandules, maduros, and potato salad are on point. They also have some house made sauces that are delicious , I purchased one myself. Everything is packed with authentic flavor and made with so much care. I’ve als

This spot has been on my list for the longest, and I’m so glad I finally made it. The service is truly top tier you feel right at home the moment you walk in. Everyone’s smiles are so genuine, and Morena, the daughter, is incredibly sweet. She shared the history of the place, which makes it even more special knowing it’s family owned. The food was outstanding! I loved my chicharrón de pollo, and even my picky husband was impressed with the chivo. We’ll definitely be back to try the rabo!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the pleasure of using the catering services from this incredible family-owned Dominican restaurant and it was a hit! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavor, and made with so much love. You can truly taste the tradition and pride in every bite. Everyone at my event raved about the dishes—from the perfectly seasoned PERNIL, PASTELÓN, QUIPES & EMPANADAS everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The service was just as amazing friendly, professional, and attentive every step of the way. Lorena handled everything so seamlessly. If you’re looking for genuine Dominican food and a team that treats you like family, this is the place. Highly recommend for your next event or even just a great meal out. ¡Gracias por todo!

In my opinion , this place had the best mofongo I’ve had yet in New York. This is the closest you’re going to get to the best mofongo from DR or PR and had oxtail gravy with it. Food was made with love. Pernil was really good, mofongo was really good , yaroa was really good, flan was slamming and can’t forget the bev but the morir soniando was one of the best. Nice restaurant , great service , great food, solid prices. Can’t ask for more.

We found this place randomly, but it was the best experience we could get. Family owned and operated, with the best recipes. I got crispy pork and the skin was fried to perfection. Combination of spices is not spicy, and flavorful For sure coming back!
