The restaurant has a nice appearance and is clean, with friendly and welcoming staff. However, the beans seemed to be simply poured out of a can and heated, lacking olives, cilantro, bay leaf, or pumpkin chunks. The gravy was unappetizing and the beans needed more cooking time. It appeared that they were only seasoned with tomato sauce, without even sofrito. Other menu items were also lackluster. It seems that once a customer base is established, some restaurants may begin to put less effort into their dishes.

FOOOD SO DAMN GOOD I LITERALLY CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE PRIOR. I ordered from Brenda's for the third time now and they've never missed. The cubano a pulled pork sandwich with ham pickles and Cheese topped with mustard. THE PORK IS SO TENDER AND FLAVORFUL it literally melts in your mouth like butter. The EMPANADAS?!?! Crisp to the bite and then soft and warm with whichever meat filling selectedd I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest the pork and cheese or the Beef empanadas). Best part of this place for me, coming from NYC to CT was super hard to find certain authentic drinks n' food but I was able to wash everything down with a chilled Malta. I. Phenomenal.
I came with a travel colleague and oddly I packed my lunch which they kindly let me bring in to eat with my colleague. I wish I hadn't packed my own lunch so I could have ordered. My colleague was south American and loved the food. If you look for hole in the wall restaurants, here is one.
The food portions were good. However, the flavor was non existent in most of the food. There is no salt, no sofrito, nothing. Not on the meat, in the rice, or in the beasns. The beef stew was tender, but no flavor and had almost no sauce. I won't order again.

It's good for PR food, Dominicans add more flavor, Although theres people who are totally ok with it.. The portion you get is good and the people who work their are awesome... I would keep going. The steak with cheese empanadas are delicious
When we don't feel like cooking a meal, Brenda's is most often our choice. Every order has been consistently good. We especially enjoy their pork shoulder, beef stew and empanadas. Their breakfast sandwiches are great too.
Brenda’s Kitchen Deli provided my baby shower everything was perfect! The food is phenomenal. The family is welcoming. Whenever I'm in town. Dios los Bendingiga!
Amazing deli in a quiet area. Try the mofungo burger or just treat yourself to a few empanadillas. Will be coming back again soon.

That's a tough meal! The best Empanadas. The chicken and cheese or buffalo chicken and cheese are incredible. Very friendly staff.
They're empanadas are to die for! My favorite is the steak w/cheese. They roasted chicken w/yellow rice is delicious
