If you know people you get in before others that are waiting it seems. Don't put a time limit on how long you can sit at a table so the wait can get extremely long.

The food was lackluster (flavorless) as was the attitude of the waitress. Not friendly at all…read more The only thing going for this place is the outdoor seating and the decor. The tables were tiny - barely had room for two and we were a party of 3. Parking was a pain as the streets were closed for some festival. Found metered street parking about a third of a mile away after about 15 minutes of looking. Wouldn't return.

Couldn't be more disappointed with this place, fist and foremost please add a lunch menu, second please offer some chips and salsa, none of the above.. I ordered the Cameron's la Diablo extra spicy, 5 shrimp 1 slice of jalapeño, tomato sauce and a few onions and peppers.. I ordered the skinny margarita which was terrible given the fact it was 1 ounce of tequila with some mix, I corrected the bartender and said no mix, I got the same drink back. With tip it was 48.00 I will never step foot in this place again, drinks and food were terrible. I prefer my Mexico mi lindo up the street, I can get the same meal and a perfect pitcher of margarita for less, And a basket full of chips with salsa. Sorry you failed on all levels.

After a long afternoon of shopping, my friends and I built up and appetite. We wanted something…read morequick that would calm our hunger for the drive home to RI. One of my friends was more familiar with the area and recommended we come here. She ordered a plate of fried pork with tostones, some guisado de res, and white rice. The total was around $20 which was fair for the portion sizes. The guisado was a bit oily but the flavor was really good and the meat was very tender. Since the tostones did not come with a sauce, we ended up dunking them in the guisado. The tostones were on the thicker side but crispy and tasty. The fried pork was good, although maybe a little bland. The lime helped a little bit with bringing out the flavor. The white rice was good. They offer a small, medium, and large portion - small was good as a snack for 3 people. I would come back and try more of their menu items. They have a parking lot, but it was packed and the snow didn't help. There is also street parking. It is in a lively part of town, so I enjoyed people watching while eating in the car.

This is a family owned Dominican restaurant that serves a variety of typical homestyle dishes. The…read morespace is pretty big. There's a large dining/ bar area and a takeout side with a few tables. We ordered the sancocho and rabo guisado (Oxtails), with white rice and plantains. The sancocho was pretty good. It had a lot of meat and vegetables, the white rice was perfectly cooked. I thought the sancocho had a bit too much garlic in the seasoning, but it was still great, especially since it was rainy and a bit chilly. The Oxtails were simply amazing! They were extremely tender and practically falling off the bone. The sauce was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the white rice. I've never had Oxtails this good at a restaurant. They tasted just like when mom recipe takes hours and hours to make since you want to cook it long enough for the meat to become tender. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food came pretty quickly. Prices were very reasonable. If I'm back in the area, I will definitely return and order the Oxtails.

Visited Vaka with a group of 10. The food was good, but the experience had some issues. We waited…read moreabout an hour to be seated despite having a reservation, because our table was given to the wrong large party. We were also offered sauces without being told there was an upcharge, & ended up being charged for an extra drink we didn't order. Tbh, this wasn't my first choice since this place has had service issues before. I guess I was too hopeful things would go differently.

We have been coming here for years. Today is the last day we will ever set foot in this restaurant…read more We ordered the twin lobster special for each my wife and I. It was actually a great deal at only $19.99. that is the only good thing. Not only did it take over 30 minutes for our steamed lobsters to come, but when my wife cracked the tail off everything in the lobster body was pitch black. Basically that means if you know anything about cooking shellfish which apparently the chef here does not, you would know that that means that the tamale and the row are either undercooked or uncooked. Talk about risking food poisoning? There is no way go back and even just have a soda. And if you were the owner reading this I really don't care you should be ashamed of yourself for hiring such an inept kitchen staff.

The oil was obviously way past its date as the calamari came out with a horrible taste and very dark color. My seafood boil was a disappointment from the start as they told me they do not have any king crab, then I had to request seasonings to add to it because it was so bland. It tasted like butter and oil. I would not recommend anyone to go here, take the drive all the way to Boston and try one of the spots down there because this place is awful.
