    Breaded Chicken
    Chantel R.

    Good service Amazing food Chill vibes Very very yummy Especially the pineapple drink!!

    Small appetizer mixed and a cheese and beef e

    We ordered the crispy fish with rice and beans , a grilled chicken with rice and beans , a whole fish with potato salad and a fried trout with rice and beans. The portions are great and the spices are very nice. First time we try Dominican food and it was an enjoyable meal.

    House Salad with Avocado
    Roman K.

    I've gone there twice before but the line was out the door so never made it inside. Decided to go a little later today and yes there were seats available. It only has about 12 counter seats, no tables. It's a dive but in a good way. I had the garlic shrimp with salad. Nice portions & the man knows how to cook those shrimp - tender, they almost melt in your mouth. It's $, house salad with avocado & garlic shrimp $14 - will not break the bank. Definitely will be going back.

    Pollo guisado (chicken stew)
    Laura K.

    This is one of my favorite spots in sleepy hollow. Food is AMAZING and so reasonably priced. I got the pollo guisado and it's delicious. The chicken isn't boneless but it's well worth it. The maduras are also delicious.

    I got takeout and it was still really good, so that says a lot. Ate so much it put me into a coma.

    The restaurant was closed an hour earlier than advertised. They should change the sign if they don't intend to honor their hours.

    Can't say enough about this place. We've never had a bad meal and we always come out saying omg…read morethat was good. Last night we had the salmon cakes for the first time and we're blown away, and the pernil was out of this word. My husband always gets the Cuban sandwich, which is a good size and really really good. My mother-in-law who is Cuban and an excellent cook and always critical of Latin food in restaurants, said it was the best Latin food she ever had in a restaurant (and she goes to the Cuban places in Jersey which are great.) Just when we thought we had the best meal ever, we shared the flan and now I'm ruined because it was it was the best flan I ever had. Don't be fooled by the semi-casual atmosphere, this is fine dining at an amazing price. PS - they go above and beyond for special orders, we had someone in the party who needed her soup to be puréed, and Richie himself brought it out.

    I was looking for a place to order a quick lunch to takeout. I am happy that I came across this…read moreplace. I look forward to returning again and trying another dish. I ordered the pollo guisado with white rice and beans and it comes with sweet plantain. I also ordered a tamarind juice. The pollo guisado was very flavorful. The rice was good. I found the beans to be salty. I didn't enjoy the sweet plantains. The tamarind juice was very concentrated. It would be better if it was diluted. There is space to sit down and enjoy a meal. The individual who took my order was very pleasant. I received my meal very quickly. It took approximately 5-10 minutes from when I ordered it. Parking is convenient with metered parking outside the restaurant. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood.
