Food Safety Report: El Rey De Quisqueya, Broadway, Brooklyn, NY, USA.

11221 New York, United States

Date Closed: Jul 14, 2026

Reason for Closure:
The restaurant was closed after inspectors found live roaches, evidence of mice and rats, and conditions that could attract or shelter pests, with no pest control contract or extermination records on site. Inspectors also found sewage, drainage, or backflow-related problems; hot and cold foods held at unsafe temperatures; and not enough hot or cold holding equipment to keep foods at required temperatures. Handwashing facilities were missing, blocked, or not properly supplied with running water, soap, or drying devices, and food-contact surfaces and utensils were not properly cleaned and sanitized. Additional issues included poor personal hygiene practices by staff and no Food Protection Certificate held by the manager or supervisor of food operations.
