Authentic Dominican Cuisine. I didn’t think I would ever find it this far south when we moved from NY. The staff is friendly and they had Coquito during the holiday season... this place is the real deal.

I love this restaurant. Great authentic variety of food. I got the pollo guisado and it was delicious. The chicken is nice and tender, it falls off the bone. They also have smoothies now and I got the guanabana and I loved it. I will definitely get that again when I go back.

Very good food. Freshly cook to order. A nice neighborhood table to discover. Caribbean Hispanic music plays, a real trip to sunny destination for your sens.Why why why am I just finding out about this place? My friend took me here for the very first time today. It was hidden all the way in a corner of a shopping center. Now this isn't the fanciest place, but the food and service is spectacular.

Food was worth the trip!We saw it on the Internet and decided to give it a try. Outer appearance let you know this is not upscale or fancy but, the food is authentic and delicious. Good portion of great tasting Spanish home cooking. Nice friendly staff, cozy and clean inside. Great prices! Two thumbs up!

I loved it here the food was amazing. I got roasted pork and rice and it was bomb. The only thing that is bad about the place is that the wait is a little long and you get hit with cold air whenever someone comes in...

We ordered to go (as this was our only option during these uncertain times). I’d like to thank the staff there for exceptional service! I didn’t intend to ask them to bring out our order whenever I pulled up, but it happened and they were happy to accommodate my needs. Portions were large for single servings. We are a family of 4 and it was recommended to us to place two single orders. We got rotisserie chicken, rice, and potatoes (I know not the actual names for side dishes!). I was so happy with the tastes/flavors of each bite. Delicious and tasted clean, I really can’t find the words other than fresh and flavorful. This was our first time trying and can’t wait to try again!

Service was exceptional and the food portions were plentiful. The food had good flavor.+ I ordered Pernil with Arroz con Grandules and a side of beans. The arroz con grandules had Great flavor and was loose; it tasted fresh. The beans were okay but could use a bit more seasoning maybe some more garlic. The Pernil was good: it wasn't too dry or too moist; it was the perfect consistency. + Guest ordered Mofongo with chicken. They enjoyed the food. The Mofongo was a mix of sweet and green plantains with pork. The chicken were two drumsticks in a stew sauce. +We both tried their chicken empanadas which were good. Recommend asking for their hot sauce and avocado sauce to top off the empanadas with; the server recommend them to us (at no extra charge). The place looks clean; they have a casual ambiance with a white ceiling grid and florescent lighting. I will definitely be back when in the area.

I visit every couple of weeks to grab a burrito or some tacos on my lunch break. The quality is always great. Service with a smile, though keep in mind it IS MADE here so takes longer than a fast food place. It IS worth the wait.

I always forget to take pictures when I eat at restaurants, I almost forgot to do the same thing here just because the food smelled and looked delicious. Needless to say the food was beyond delicious! The portions left me with leftovers. I'll definitely be back to this little hole in the wall. I love this place!

My first time trying this place out. I got empanadas of beef. rice and gandules with pernil ( roasted pork)I definitely wanted a little bit more meat with my empanadas. especially since they're $3 ea.however it was Not lacking in flavor, it was super delicious. highly recommend.The Pernil is delicious. full of flavor! I just wish I could have had maybe some pig skin as well. ( maybe next time I'll ask for it. I'm sure they have it) the rice and gandules is definitely. not what I'm used to having growing up in a Puerto Rican household. I was kind of hoping for maybe some cubed ham in there or something but it is good. You definitely get more for your money here. Check it out. Can't go wrong.
