Great food and great staff. Staff was helpful when I needed help with ordering as it was my first time. They were patient and understanding. Prices are amazing and large portion sizes. Will be returning for more Dominican food.

Best food in the world. Loved the rice and beans with fried pork ( pork belly) or chicharrón de cerdo. I couldn’t stop eating. The parking is a mess, serving portions are not consistent. But the food it’s soooo goooood

Excellent food, fresh! Went at 11 am, no liquor till 12 on Sundays which is fine! The only thing I didn’t like was the gratuity was already added into the bill. I almost tipped twice. So always check bill before paying!

Yes, yes, yes! If you know you know I got the chicharrones with the fresh lime, I got the empanadas that were cheese and chicken, I got the Polo guisado, and the arroz con gondolas. Never disappoints there always such large amount of food at such great prices. A A A

First time at this restaurant. A hole in the wall. Food was great, to say the least. I had the arroz blanco with habichuela accompanied by Rabo (oxtail) and a Morir Soñando. The portions were more than you can expect. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the environment was nice with some good music. Only down side about this place was the minimal and tight parking. Aside from that 10/10 experience.
