I really enjoyed the food and how well decorated this restaurant was. Once we entered the…read moreestablishment, we were greeted right away and were given menus to look through before our order was taken. This was our first time here so the menu was big and it had a lot of options to go through. Although some items were on the pricier side, they all looked very good and were worth to try. I got carne guisada with maduros, white rice and red beans as my dinner. We also had gotten salami con queso which came with tostones as an appetizer. The presentation was great but it made it a bit of a hassle to go back and forth between all the little pots as you are trying to eat. I love to mix all my food so that's what I said that. The guisado was a little too oily and over-seasoned, a little too salty for my liking. Overall I'm glad we were able to try yet another Dominican spot. Give it a try, there is something on the menu for everybody.

One of the things I miss most from living back out in NY is the Dominican cuisine, so I was…read morenaturally ecstatic to find Dominican Grocery Y Deli on the stretch of Richmond between Hillcroft and Westchase where Latin businesses are seemingly everywhere. Compared to many of the Caribbean all-encompassing establishments that exist, this place is most definitely legit. Like many family-owned places in the area, it is part convenience store and part restaurant. The dining room is deceivingly spacious, with ample seating for all sorts of groups. They are primarily a takeout joint and are especially busy during lunchtime where they offer some of the areas best hot lunches. It's a lot more quiet at night, which would be advantageous for a big group looking to go somewhere where there's plenty of room. I'm extremely pleased with the authentic options, which include mofongo, bizcocho, sancocho, mangú, pollo guisado, yuca con mojo, arroz con gandules, locrio, and espaguetis (#1). I've only been able to sample a handful of items and am eagerly on the hunt for pastelón (#2) and am very keen on trying their version of tres leches. The pollo guisado I had was full of flavor and perfectly stewed over habichuelas and rice. My espaguestis was a tinge on the salty side, but had a nice amount of olives and the indulgent greasy finish that I would want in any pasta meal. Lastly, the mofongo was quite tasty, thought I do wish we had more chicharron in the mix. The staff is most definitely Dominican as well. I was greeted every step of the way, followed with a "que lo que" and I appreciated the kind service. Prices are solid for the area and cash is preferred here (#3). I am so pleased an option is here and I look forward to many future meals. __________ (#1) Dominican style spaghetti. (#2) Dominican style lasagna. (#3) Read: credit card fee.

We ordered a couple stuff: chivo, pollo guisado, carne de res, mangu, arroz con habichuelas and a side of plátanos. I thought it was pretty good. The mangu needed some more garlic to it though. We spent around $70-80 for 4 plates and I would say that's kinda expensive. I'd give this place at 3.8

I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.

The food is aways delicious and satiate my craving for carribean comfort food. The mixed seafood ceviche is loaded with large chunks of white fish, shrimp and octopus mixed with onions and peppers. The classic pernil (pork) never fails and is especially delicious when topped with some of their amazing mojo (garlic) sauce. The oxtail is a bit salty but full of concentrated flavor. This would have been great with a side of rice to eat up all the yummy sauce but I can never pass up the chance to have fried yuca (a pro move would've been to order both sides, which i will definitely do next time).

Once we arrived, the establishment was bigger than expected. The decorations were fun and vibrant. The first thing I noticed on the menu was how expensive everything was. I'm sure the only thing they didn't charge for was ice cubes. Although the food was okay, there is no way the portions matched the price they were charging. I officially had the smallest piece of steak I've ever seen on any bandeja dish. I'm sure this could be hurting them because of its location and having many other options for Latin/Caribbean food. The service was alright. When we first got there we just picked a place to sit and waited for menus. The first waitress barely said a word, no welcome, no greeting. Looks like she was getting ready to leave. The second waitress was a little more friendly however I still feel like they lacked customer service here. Needless to say they didn't have the pollo guisado, only bottled waters and soda cans. Be prepared to spend, specially if you come to feed a family.

A New Yorker in Houston... finally feeling at home!…read more As a New Yorker now living in Houston -- and a Colombian who loves Dominican food -- I have been searching everywhere for authentic Dominican flavors. I have especially been craving Bizcocho Dominicano, and since my fiancé and I got engaged on February 1, I had only ONE non‑negotiable for our wedding: it had to be a Dominican cake. Honestly, I searched online with very low expectations, thinking there was no way I would find a true Dominican restaurant in Houston... and then I discovered Antojitos Dominicano. We visited on Saturday around three o'clock in the afternoon. We arrived late, so some of the daily specials had already sold out (which we regret!), but everything we did try was absolutely delicious -- comforting, flavorful, and authentically Dominican. Then came the moment of truth... the cake tasting. And let me tell you -- the first bite lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I turned to my fiancé and said: "We found our wedding cake!" The flavor, the texture, the nostalgia -- it was everything I had been missing and hoping for. Pure perfection. I am beyond grateful to this New York family for bringing true Dominican cuisine to Houston. Their food, their cake, and their warmth make the restaurant feel like home. If you are Caribbean, a former New Yorker, or simply someone who loves great food, do yourself a favor and visit Antojitos Dominicano. Houston truly needed this gem.

They also have food items and some meals as well including costilla de res, pollo guisado, pernil, moro, etc. We ordered the costilla with more, and the costilla de res (beef) was fall of the bone and the moro was yummy, for $16 we have at least 2 meals. They also have pastelitos, but by the time we got there (2pm weekend), they only had cheese (will try the beef pastelito next time.) There are tables in case you want to eat indoors and plenty of parking since this is in a shopping center.
