I think it's a little different when you are invested in the outcome of the business. He loves his customers bc they visually represent his own personal success. It's a great way to do things. Selling a product you don't believe in or care about for someone elses profit is what usually leads to animosity towards the customer base.

These are the businesses we needed to help and bailout. Wholesome real hardworking and amazing for the community. Amazon does not need Government grants. These businesses do. I hope to visit you as many times as I can next time I'm in NYC and I will be sure to tell all my friends who live there now to support this.
I love how theese kinds of succesful restaurants owners have the same kind of mentality, they treat their costumers with love and hospitality just like their own family. It's just so heartwarming :)
I visited the place shortly after this video went live. I told him about it & asked for a hug. This man gives very tight hugs & painfully firm handshakes. I wish he would adopt me.

That's not true. I'm a born and raised new Yorker that still lives here and I have never paid that much for coffee. At the corner store where I live I only pay $1.25 for a large. New York is only expensive if you are just talking about midtown manhattan.
@@joenuts7070 I'm sure if you look hard enough you will find a good price where I live I found in Arabic shop that sells a box of cooked rice with a whole chiken for 5.00 dollars
n word yes! I used to work in that area. A coworker told me about this place after I saw his lunch. It's really good Dominican food - especially for that area. And it's cheap.
Hrmmm yea I had a friend where the only helper he has is his ritired dad and he alone cook,take order and make drink and since it a small shop I don't need he need extra worker its like he and his dad alone was enough his shop could fit like 8 to 10 people only.
This is the true American dream, work hard, save money and open a business, and put your kids through college like i did, I'm proud of my country, i even served in the Army, retired disabled veteran, land of opportunity, and i took that opportunity.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 ye, everyone can do it right. And if not all, the vast majority can.... *cringe* maybe use statistics instead of personal experience.
$5 for a whole plate of food?? That's 2-3 times cheaper than any regular plate of food at take out places like this. If I worked in Manhattan I'd go every day!
I have no doubt he's clearing $1 mil a year. With that price, in that area, in that city, with that little space, with only 3 or 4 workers, his bank account is massive. He will NEVER sell that place. Ever. It'll be passed down through generations in his family.
Have you looked at the price of opening a damn hot dog stand in New York..?? I don't think he is the guy to count pennies, he is pretty simple, genuine and humble. Increase prices maybe but not cut corners. His grandmother would be proud of how he got her amazing recipes out there and fed his family with it... Try not to think too much and just enjoy the wholesome, tasty, economical food (:
drane1210 I live here and I think 💭 that’s a great price. The place on my corner that makes the same food 🥘 same plates are $7.50/9.00$and don’t seem as NICE as this GUY😊
@DrinkwithaMexican well this is New York, darling, the most EXPENSIVE city in the world to live in. So $5 dollars for that delicious food, take my money.

@@tanuj4561 shove your advice up your butt. Single ride is 2.75 while weekly unlimited pass is 32. So even if you only use public transport twice a day for a week, it's a better deal.
@@safiyarani4448 Yes, but still. Using the metro for work twice a day, and still not getting any use of unlimited is pretty steep pricing. And are you sure you take the tube to the club and then home again from the club? Cause where I live I let a cab drive me home. Finding my own way home actually put me in detention once hohoho. And what if you stay home for a weekend? Then you are in the need-to-drive-6-rides-on-monday zone. No 10 rides is 27.50, unlimited should be 25 then. Make up for it during work week.
This is too cool! I worked right next door to this restaurant, ate there MANY times for lunch, and they had awesome food, PLUS they were great people. Yeah, only in NYC would you find a hidden gem like this. 💖

This is the true American dream, work hard, save money and open a business, and put your kids through college like i did, I'm proud of my country, i even served in the Army, retired disabled veteran, land of opportunity, and i took that opportunity.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 ye, everyone can do it right. And if not all, the vast majority can.... *cringe* maybe use statistics instead of personal experience.
He sells a thosand plates per say and it costs $5 a piece. 5×1000= $5000 a day.
@@yallaharab247 lmaoo no
Why does he look like he is about to go on vacation
musix He probably got all gussied knowing that they were going to film him that day. Maybe? Lol.
Tbh low-key its how us Dominicans dress 😂
That's how he regularly dresses
He was a spare actor for Scarface but decided to open a business instead
If you love your job, it's not longer a job. But always a day off.
These "hole-in-the-wall" spots are the best! That's why whenever I travel, I follow the locals, not the tourists!
thatguybrad I prefer “hidden spots.” Most holes in walls that I’ve seen on the internet don’t have anything I want on the other side.
When I visited The United States, one of the locals raped me.
wtf
Ulises R where were you? Did you report it to the police?
@@ulisesr614 🤔
Unfortunately closed due to the pandemic. I used to go 2-3 times a week when I worked in the area! Food was always tasty and plentiful!
He's such a nice guy, I bet half of the people are there just because of his personality. God bless
It's amazing how most amazing restaurants use their grandma's recipes. RESPECT👏
This dude is the most precious person I’ve ever seen
his positive attitude is the definition of hospitality core value.
Hopefully he is surviving the corona virus and still feeding people his delicious food
Is it really out of business :o ?
@For Truth so sadnif true love my Dominicans
@@evelyng2747 temporarily but he'll be able to bounce back since he owns the space.
does anyone have an update on him?
Fuck this virus,
It effected a lot of good people.
$5 for a whole plate of food?? That's 2-3 times cheaper than any regular plate of food at take out places like this. If I worked in Manhattan I'd go every day!
he said he has a customer who has been with him for 25 years
little casers has takeout for 5$
dsosa lol some shitty fast food place doesn’t compare to a hole in the wall place that delivers quality food.
@@zerefragn5626 location location location
Yes neverrrrr leave your BABY ....respect 🤗😍 simple things in life are the most precious. such a lovely person!
U have a baby
i wouldnt leave you either baby ;) LOL
This man, this business is life. So much more soul, integrity and quality than any multimillion franchise.
I have no doubt he's clearing $1 mil a year. With that price, in that area, in that city, with that little space, with only 3 or 4 workers, his bank account is massive. He will NEVER sell that place. Ever. It'll be passed down through generations in his family.
I seriously hope so, he deserves it.
Minus taxes
Have you looked at the price of opening a damn hot dog stand in New York..?? I don't think he is the guy to count pennies, he is pretty simple, genuine and humble. Increase prices maybe but not cut corners. His grandmother would be proud of how he got her amazing recipes out there and fed his family with it... Try not to think too much and just enjoy the wholesome, tasty, economical food (:
That would require him to sell 500+ orders a day, everyday at $5. This is hard labor.
@@Nivek4g he said he got hundreds of customers a day
Edited original comment now the replies make no sense
@DrinkwithaMexican Wow, incredible, this isn't Thailand, though. You'd be hard pressed to find a decent portion of food for $5 in NYC.
$5 for that set of meal is consider cheap and reasonable. I can't get that price for that set of meal. The least it cost around between $7 to $8.
drane1210 I live here and I think 💭 that’s a great price. The place on my corner that makes the same food 🥘 same plates are $7.50/9.00$and don’t seem as NICE as this GUY😊
DrinkwithaMexican people in Thailand also earn far less then us workers.
@DrinkwithaMexican well this is New York, darling, the most EXPENSIVE city in the world to live in. So $5 dollars for that delicious food, take my money.
What a sweet guy! America is great for its differences!!!
This dudes whole vibe made me smile :) may he live a long and prosperous life!
Why would ANYONE on Earth give this video a thumbs down!? $5 plate of home style cookin' in NYC a thumbs down!? Geez people.
It's a pocket of hope in a land of fast food and fake food
They're Donald Trump supporters and don't want immigrants in America.
@@MyBlackhawk007 Why would Oprah have a racist on her last week of her show? Answer. She didn't because Trump and the vast majority of his supporters are NOT racist. You are just dumb enough to let your little mind be manipulated by propaganda. You small minded twerp. Amazing how TDS enters stories about food shops. Reminds me of Monty Pythons "She's a witch". Shameful
@@joebudi5136 - idiot - I'm manipulated by what comes out of that as@$%!
own pie hole.
As for Oprah - ever heard of ratings?
@Iman Amatullah - so sad that you are so concerned about your food intake contaminating your innards - yet, so callous with your heart & soul😒

Wooo! Latinos and Dominicans, let's go!
You know he’s a real latino when you can hear his chains while he’s talking and moving

He seems like the type of guy who has a close friendship with a fishmonger named Hector
I go there all the time. Best Spanish food ever for 5$.
Edit- thank you for making this video and giving them exposure. The wife is very kind to me and says hi to me 💖

Lol everyone correcting me. I’m Colombian, I say Spanish, I’m not trying to be nationally/ culturally correct. Chill . I know
@@nehemiah5220 still, the man is Dominican and the cuisine is Dominican, no way it can be anything else
Imagine knowing a customer for 25 years, what an interesting relationship they must have. So cool.
His personality is so beautiful!!!!
Hitman's Agent 47 really taking going undercover seriously. Watch out.
Lmfao hahaha
lol funny
Agent 47’s part time job aside from pushing people of buildings
What a sunshiny personality. Awesome!
Hopefully he can deal with the rush of people coming tomorrow after this video. So I got alot of clout from this comment so follow me on ig if you want.. nibblae
Someone go tomorrow and take a video 🤗
I'm pretty sure he'll enjoy the customers.
He better make 200lb of rice tomorrow.
@@altang884884 lol he doesn't make the food
He'll run of rice by 10am then
''If I see they need it I give it for free''
The guy is so heartwarming i swear.
This what's makes NYC great different people from around the world
NYC also has some of the worst people from around the world
@@ultimateawseome absolutely.
@Shole Geffsss People who arent from NYC only see the good parts wait until they see the bad parts lol
. theres plenty of shitty places with a lot of different cultures. what makes ny different is the hustle, the drive and the creativity of all of these people. that combined with the fact that you have so many different cultures makes ny great, but its more the energy that new yorkers have
@Who da Fook i was born and raised in nyc but i respect your opinion
bless this man. like a wise man once said, "I feed the hungry. we can talk after that".
i live in new york state and never went there and am going there in a week and now i know where im going
I suggest not buying an unlimited metro card unless u plan on swiping it 3-4x a day.
@@tanuj4561 shove your advice up your butt. Single ride is 2.75 while weekly unlimited pass is 32. So even if you only use public transport twice a day for a week, it's a better deal.
@@safiyarani4448 Use it for work twice a day 10x2.750=27.50. Unless you also ride saturday and sunday you won't make up for it.
@@JuvoII most people go out on the weekends as well.
@@safiyarani4448 Yes, but still. Using the metro for work twice a day, and still not getting any use of unlimited is pretty steep pricing. And are you sure you take the tube to the club and then home again from the club? Cause where I live I let a cab drive me home. Finding my own way home actually put me in detention once hohoho. And what if you stay home for a weekend? Then you are in the need-to-drive-6-rides-on-monday zone.
No 10 rides is 27.50, unlimited should be 25 then. Make up for it during work week.
I like this guy, great character. You can tell he got dressed up for the interview and he kept showing his guns on purpose...really cool guy.
2:21 let’s not ignore the fact this man is absolutely jacked, he has more veins popping out of that one arm than my grandma has when she’s yelling
It's the alternate reality version of Saitama who decided to become a restaurant owner instead of a superhero.
BEAST_ MODE anime reference. Saitama is the protagonist of “One Punch Man”, and also he’s bald like the restaurant owner in the video
The owner are so humble he really love the place and his customers like a family
His energy towards the customers is soo positive!! These kinda people are so rare in this world!!
God bless him! 😊👌🏻👍🏻
This is too cool! I worked right next door to this restaurant, ate there MANY times for lunch, and they had awesome food, PLUS they were great people. Yeah, only in NYC would you find a hidden gem like this. 💖
It's a divey looking hole in the wall and they pack up the food in those round, foil take out boxes. That's how you know it's good food.
And they reeeeally pack those containers
