Been there twice. Can't speak to authenticity as a person w no Dominican experience, but I can…read morespeak to yumminess & value. Went Once for lunch, once for breakfast. Everything I ate & drank was delicious. Breakfast was Tres Golpes - perfectly cooked egg over easy, over mashed plantains with fried salami and cheese. SO good - the egg over the plantains was an awesome new flavor combo for me. I had a tamarind juice, my wife had the passionfruit - both fresh & tasty. Service was also excellent. Lunch - I literally just pointed to what looked tasty, got it on my plate, and ate - everything was full of flavor. Prices are reasonable for the neighborhood.

I was in the area and had marked this spot down to try, so I ordered a pork mofongo to go, went in…read moreto pick it up, and as I was waiting, I saw the maduros and they were calling my name, so I got an order of those too. Prices are very reasonable for restaurant food, I think, and the quality is absolutely there. They have all the food in heated pans at the front, though the mofongo had to be prepared separately. When I ate the food later on, everything was absolutely delicious. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely order again! Inside, there are a few TVs, and you order at the counter even if sitting in for a meal. Looks clean and cozy enough, and I would imagine fairly crowded at the right times, but I was there mid/late afternoon, so I only saw one table w/ a customer eating. I wouldn't be opposed to it sometime other than having to pay for parking!

This is a great place with authentic cuisine. We started with the chicken Empanadas which were crispy on the outside and full of delicious flavors on the inside. I'm sorry we didn't try the beef and cheese ones...maybe next time. The seafood paella was full of shrimp, octopus, mussels and chorizo over seasoned rice with fried onions, red peppers and peas. The chorizo was so good I got a few to take home. The ropa vieja was beef which was slow cooked to the point of falling apart and melting in your mouth with potatoes and a side of rice. There were three in my party and we all had at least seconds and still had some leftovers. Very enjoyment meal and would recommend.

Man, I could eat at this place every week and be a happy camper! The food was sooo flavorful and delicious. Every item on our plates was cooked well and seasoned to perfection. Despite not speaking the same language, we were able to communicate our needs and received good and friendly service from our waitress. The other diners all seem to be enjoying their meals. And, our portions were big enough to enjoy the deliciousness at another meal. Would return without hesitation!

Staff overlooked me when doing rounds for celebrations. I arrived early, checked in early, yet when…read morestaff were doing their rounds to since congratulations to everyone, I was somehow overlooked and had to wait until the top of the next hour to hear Happy Birthday sung to me. I felt very excluded from the celebrations even though there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Front-desk staff even asked if today was en event and I clearly stated to them that ,yes. Today is my birthday. I wait five minutes to be seated. Order my food. And begin eating when staff begin their celebration rounds. I was somehow overlooked which felt horrible. The food is great. The vibes are great. The service is lacking. However, the food was delivered to my table expeditiously. I was surprised at how quickly my food was delivered to my table. The service was simply lacking in attention to an important detail on my birthday.

I asked them for certain things and they acted like they lacked comprehension skills. The food here is good, but the service lacks attention to detail and enthusiasm. My family did not feel welcomed and the experience was lackluster. I expect better from this establishment, especially since it became popular due to the community that surrounds it and the people that choose to spend their hard earned money there. Los meseros de este restaurante fueron groseros y poco atentos. Fui a comer con mi familia y parecía que el personal no quería estar allí. Cuando pedí algunas cosas sencillas, actuaron con desinterés y falta de disposición, lo cual arruinó bastante la experiencia. Aunque la comida estaba buena, el servicio carecía de entusiasmo, atención al detalle y cortesía básica. Mi familia no se sintió bienvenida y, en general, la visita fue decepcionante. Esperaba algo mejor, especialmente de un restaurante que ha ganado popularidad gracias a la comunidad local y a los clientes fieles que deciden gastar su dinero con esfuerzo aquí.

They're located in Port Richmond and we're just under 2 miles away but that's out of their radius of delivery.
