Second time in Utica decided to grab a bite before heading out. I had a specific taste I was looking for. I ended up here at Joel’s. The woman taking the order was very pleasant. I decided on arroz con gandules and bacalao, chicken Empanada. Rice & fish was good. The Empanada it was bland. It was definitely fried to order. Would I go again yes.

This place is way better to the place on Bleecker Street. The food is more fresher. When you order the empanadas they’re more filled and they’re fresh and hot people are friendly there and I just prefer this food store than the one on Bleecker.

We were visiting Utica for a day and saw Joel’s on Google Maps so we decided to try it out. We got the Beef stew, bacalao, and pernil roast pork all with rice and beans and it was on the money. Some of the best Dominican food we’ve had outside of the country itself and NYC. If youre looking for some authentic and delicious Spanish food and youre in the area, Joels is well worth checking out.

Food portions are definitely worth the price. My experience was great my chicken was a bit dry maybe due to being the last customer of the night. The restaurant is small but there are tables to sit down with the kids.It’s deffenitly a good Spanish place to try out.

I only bought a sopa and it was OK. The restaurant was recommended by daughter who often visited Utica. I go once a month I’m hoping to try again

It’s a nice small and humble restaurant but the people are very nice and attentive and the food is one of the best in town. I wish it wasn’t 40 mins away, I would eat there everyday if I could. I love their food. Highly recommend to order take-out
