Rich oxtail and locrio rice with pork that falls off the bone are among the hearty classics on the menu at Exquisito. This casual Astoria restaurant focuses on traditional Dominican and Caribbean plates, with substantial classics for the days when a snack will barely make a dent in your appetite.
The kitchen pairs its meals with savory beans and pickled red onions. That combination brings a savory base and a pickled bite to the plate, a small accompaniment with plenty of presence. Takeout and delivery are both available, giving you two ways to bring this neighborhood cooking home.
Find it on 36th Ave in Queens. The restaurant opens Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 10 PM, and Sunday runs from 10 AM to 7 PM. Keep that shorter Sunday window in mind when you are putting a weekend meal on the calendar.
