This small spot has some amazing Dominican food. After reading the reviews I had to take a trip to Nashua to try this place out and boy it didn't disappoint. Take into consideration that it's very small and catered to people who get there food to go, that didn't stop me. I arrive on a Thursday around 1pm and there was only one person in front of me. After ordering there was at least 10 people in line waiting to order. Craziness lol. The pricing of all the food was the best part for me. They priced their food like how it should be and give huge portions. Now lets get to the review: Mofongo Carnitas- Took about 15 min to wait and it was sooo worth it! The plantains were perfect and so was the right amount of garlic and carnitas. The carnitas was very moist and it went well with the plantains. I'll be back for more food for sure. Be sure to check this spot out if you're in Nashua and want a great lunch that won't hurt your wallet. Trust me read more

Best pernil and chicharrones I've ever had. Carne is always tender and flavorful. I will never regret spending money and time here, it's is quite literally some of the best Spanish food in New England. The people who run it are wicked nice, and the restaurant is always clean. read more

Just wasted my lunch break waiting in line to have my order taken, there were 3/4 employees working on online orders, by working I mean 1 was completing an order while the others walked around and conversed with other customers, 2 employees were taking care of 1 person while the line was getting longer. I would highly recommend ordering in advance for pick up or delivery. If you have time to waste you can definitely go and walk in. I ordered 2 rellenos de yucca, they were good but did not taste like yucca, taste more like relleno de papa. Total wait time 25min for 2 fritters. read more

I have frequented them at least 15 times and all for takeout for lunch. The ribs are great as is the chicken. I also like the Empanadas as they are always cooked fresh. The ladies working here are so polite and nice and the quality of the food is awesome. Keep up the good work ladies! read more

Not for me. I went to just grab a quick bite but the turnovers were a little dry and not having a dipping sauce it wasn't good. Street parking. Take out only no seating. read more

I am back in California and I am missing the food from here. Take your family or friends and go enjoy this place. Trust me,, you can't go wrong.

The Shiva restaurant in Nashua, New Hampshire on Amherst Street. It was very disappointing because I went in today at 6:30 and they said that there was ready to leave when the store the restaurant hours operation were for nine she said, and there was no food that I wanted or requested and I stood there for about 40 minutes and I get it that they were busy. I'm very understanding and reasonable but I got shorted on the food. I got a lot of liquid instead of The meat yeah it was cold it was very delayed and it's one of my favorite spots for Dominican cuisine but unfortunately I went there as early as like six something and they told me they were about to close and that's why I didn't have no food I seen that they were busy and again I'm very understanding but it's very unfortunate that everything that I asked for and wanted when I went there they were not available they did not have a and they didn't even have food or they would have me wait for an extra 15 to 20 minutes have anything made at Hands just very disappointing. read more

I love all of the food here, especially the mangu. So so good. Nothing better for a breakfast that sticks to your ribs. I do wish they included pickled onions though! read more

What a great find! Located at the corner of Ash Street and Lake Street, Cibao Kitchen is a tiny Latin American/Dominican takeout restaurant tucked behind the Lake Convenience Store. The place is very small (takeout only), which is like stepping inside a friend's kitchen. The food is hot and ready to be served from behind the glass display windows. The food offerings here include dinner plates (choices of beef stew, sauteed steak, chicken stew, rotisserie chicken, ribs, roast pork) served with rice and salad, plus fried plantains, pastelitos (chicken, beef, or cheese), yuca, fries, rice & beans, and salad. After conducting important business across the street, I stopped in at Cibao Kitchen recently for dinner takeout. Since I was hungry, I wanted something tasty and filling. The owner showed me the hot food selections offered from behind the glass window. I chose the dinner box with beef with gravy, rice & beans & a green salad (iceberg lettuce, tomato, Italian dressing) and two pastelitos (chicken and beef). The total came out to $14. I could wait to get home, so I could enjoy my food. The portion of food was generous, box was filled up good. The marinated beef was slow cooked (simmered), soft and very tender, with hearty flavors, melt in your mouth excellent! The rice & beans were tasty too, accompanied crisp green salad. The pastelitos (crisp pastry shells filled with meats) were pretty good! I am glad I found this little gem, located away from the main strip. I will definitely return here to try the other dishes. read more

Really?! Only 4 reviews for this spot? The disrespect. I remember first visiting Cibao Kitchen after seeing it pop up on the "hot and new" section of NH Yelp a while back. After that, it became one of my favorite lunch spots when I met clients in Nashua and I'd still be a customer had I not moved out of New Hampshire. Sure, this is your humble Dominican take-out joint that doesn't even look like a traditional restaurant. The inside is cramped leaving zero room for a dining area and the appearance on the outside could easily fool many into mistaking this for a residential building. But walk through the doors and you'll be rewarded with smiles and heavenly aromas. F O O D The menu consists of breakfast items, various entrees, sides (rice & beans, fried plantains, empanadas), and drinks! My usual order was the pollo al horno (rotisserie chicken) with rice & beans and a side salad. Though not as juicy as I was expecting, the chicken was still very tasty. The rice was not as flavorful as the versions I am used to but that's ok too. Their side salad and tangy dressing were refreshing and provided a nice break on my palate from the heavy chicken. They provide a lot of food. I used to eat half for lunch and save the rest for dinner. I especially enjoyed that my entire meal only set me back $10! I've also had some of the empanadas. I recommend the beef one as that tasted the best to me. The cheese was ok but not filled with much. In addition, I highly recommend trying some of their drinks. My favorite was the morir sonando which was a milk and orange drink. I think it's perfect for hot summer days when your at work and wish you were on vacation. Just close your eyes and take a few sips. S E R V I C E I was legitimately so excited to learn that this Dominican place opened up in New Hampshire. That meant I no longer had to make my own. I couldn't find an online menu at the time so I just walked in to scout the place. I'd point at food to guess what they were and the friendly woman behind the counter either verified my guesses or corrected me. I then asked if they had tostones (fried green plantains). They did not but the woman said she would happily fry some up if I wanted. I declined as I had to return to work but that was nice of her. Though not the best I've had, their food is truly comforting, delicious, and a welcome addition to Nashua. I highly recommend them. This state needs more places like Cibao Kitchen. Just name me another Dominican restaurant in New Hampshire with food this good at this price! read more

I'm so so so happy I found this joint. This place is the epitome of "homemade," it truly is homemade Dominican soul food; tastes just like my grandmas kitchen ! The staff were so nice, and the rustic feel of this "hole in the wall" restaurant, left me blushing with pure joy. I'll probably be here every lunch break possible. Tip: 1. This is Take-Out Only, no seats. 2. Doesn't look like a "restaurant," drive slow. 3. This homemade cooking, wear loose pants. read more

Cibao Kitchen - "Small" Chicken, Rice & Beans Lunch Take Out! - Dominican Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Amazing food! it's all I want to eat. friendly staff and best authentic Dominican food in NH!

The place used to be good. Stay away from this here. Workers are rude and I seen a mouse. If You don't want rodent droppings in your food don't eat there. read more

I haven't tried the food. When I went up the steps to what looks more like a grungy home, there was a sign that said basically Due to covid/pandemic you must wear a mask. However the Spanish customer in front of me went in w/ out one, & Chitchatted for 10 minutes with the staff in Spanish. (Whom were not wearing a mask also) The reason I mention Spanish is because I got the feeling (( probably because I didn't get greeted as I stood right in front of them for 10 minutes)) if you're not a Spanish speaking patron you basically don't exist. Well that's fine.. It was a small confined space,and I wasn't comfortable with them plating my food anyway.. ((knowing they weren't wearing a mask preparing it either.. )) Hasta La Vista baby read more

What !!! A coincidence that today,after all the years I have going there trust me believe, I eat there for breakfast and dinner when I come out of work ,I'm always there to pick up my food before getting home . Everyone in there respectful something you really don't find everywhere . You see everything being cooked in-front of you not like a lot of places. Also I think they are the cleanest just go and check it out for yourself. !!! Don't believe all this Bullshit comments you see trying to tare down a beautiful upcoming business, that to my understanding is now being managed by different owners. They are the best!!! Food tastes ways better now is being cooked with love . I can talk about you guys for days... just go and see for yourself don't believe this comments ppl who do this should be shameful. read more

So excited to finally find delicious authentic Latin cuisine in NH!!! The Spanish rice is delicious, sweet plantains, empanadas, everything looks yummy too. The staff is kind, friendly and helpful. I hope this place stays open for a long time. Haven't had Spanish rice this good since I went to Costa Rica. read more

Are you kidding me? The roast chicken is the best I've had. The seasoned rice is exceptional. Love the sweet plantains and the pork belly was interesting (had to try a bite). A number of coworkers have also been (one of them 3 days in a row) and say the best things about the pulled meats in sauce as well. And the beans are great too. The portion is huge; easily feeds 2 or 1 hangry tyoe, for a little over 10 bucks. The price is right on for the value. And the service is pleasant. It's good to see more diverse choices for food in the area. I'm going back after work to get my son a dinner plate. He will loooove it! read more

If you're looking for a good Dominican food spot in Nashua this is the place to go to. Service was very good I don't remember his name but he was very nice and very helpful when it comes to someone who is not familiar with Dominican food. Price was also worth it for the huge portions they give out. The ambiance of the place was like any other take out place. It was small but they were quick with the orders. Definitely recommend this place for sure! read more

I have done both take out and delivery through Doordash for this place and it is one of my absolute FAVORITES! Their meal boxes are all amazing and plentiful, the meats tender and mouthwatering. Everything is seasoned to perfection. Their empanadas are so flaky and delicious that I can resist them. All of their appetizers are very tasty. I particularly love the stuffed Yucca. If you want a pristine exterior more than you want delicious, wholesome food, this isn't your place. But if you are someone who delights in foods rich, flavorful and steeped in culture and passion don't miss it! read more

People always say that little hole in the wall places have the best things and food! They could not be any more correct of this place!

This place is delicious. I'm vegan so I haven't tried their meat dishes but I always come to get rice and beans and tostones. It is so flavorful and amazing. We get the lunch special which is a container packed full and is plenty for two people to share. If our portion sizes are smaller or sharing with a kid then 3 people can share. I grew up in the Bronx NY and miss having authentic Spanish food quick take out options so was really surprised and glad to find this in Nashua. For our white rice beans and tostones we pay $8 but if you add meat the price goes up. read more

Portions are huge! Very friendly staff. Delicious. The smell of food just outside was a sign of the goodness to come. read more

The wife and I wanted something different for dinner tonight. An old co worker of mine mentioned this place long ago and raved about it. So today was the day that we were to give it a try. When we walked in it was somewhat busy and smelled heavenly. We waited maybe 5 to 10 mins to have our order taken. The woman who served my wife and I was friendly and accommodating and answered all of our questions cheerfully. The food was delicious and amazing! It was not your typical restaurant grade but very much what you would expect to have your home on a Sunday. The place is super small but the atmosphere was comforting in a nostalgic "greasy spoon diner" kind of way. For the amount of food that the wife and I ordered I would have had no problem paying a fair bit more than what I did. Will we go back there again? You can bet your bottom dollar on it. read more

Best little hole in the wall we've found to date! Take-out only, but that just means you can pig out in the privacy of your own home where other customers can't judge you inhaling their delicious food. $7 for a "small" plate, $10 for a "large" plate. $3 for tostones (cooked to order upon request) & $1.50 each for a fresh empanada. Huge portions, all homemade. A large plate is easily enough for two. They run out of some items later on in the afternoon/evening, so it's best to go earlier if you can. Never been disappointed in anything we've gotten! read more

This is the best place to eat REAL SPANISH food; we love ordering yellow rice, beef stew, and manguuu The best Dominican dish EVER!!

They lack options of substituting plantains for rice and beans and so on the app. You call them and explain the issue and they treat you like you are dumb, and they don't even offer a solution or try to help you out. Horrible customer service, and at times like this customers are trying to help out small businesses sucks to be treated this way. I use to love this place but the past few times I have order I haven been treated with so much disrespect. read more

This little hole in the wall has the best food for your buck. I used to go to Lowell to get my Spanish food, but now I'll stay in Nashua. Highly recommend them. Their employees are very friendly and grets me with a smile every time I walk in. read more

Delicious! We drive from Lexington MA to get food from here. Heard about them from their new location at the mall. The chicken is amazing. Best chicken I've had, shoot better than my mama's! Actually on my way there now :). read more

We were so happy to had found Spanish food here in Nashua! The food was excellent but the price was way too much. We always had Spanish food many times before so we are very familiar with the pricing. For this, we will never go back and rather take the drive down to Lowell. read more
