On the evening of Sunday, August 30th, 2025, we ordered 4 large "pollo guisado" aka "stewed chicken" dinners with white rice and habichuela beans with a side of lettuce/tomato salad for $13.99 each meal and 1 large side order of "habichuelas" aka "beans" for $10.50 for pick up via phone. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF WHAT THEY GAVE US BELOW. However, when my husband got to the store and AFTER he already PAID for the food order, the front cashier/clerk told him she had sold out of the white rice and that he had to wait an additional 25 minutes as she was making another batch of white rice. The problem is that this was NOT DISCLOSED TO US until he got to the store--and ONLY AFTER he had already paid for the whole order. This was an inconvenience for all of us because we had ordered the 4 dinners nearly over 30 minutes PRIOR to heading to pick up the dinners. Our meals should have been set aside by the cashier or helper, not wait until AFTER he got to the store and ONLY AFTER he paid AND left her a 15% tip for a PICK-UP ORDER to let us know they ran out of white rice. Had the store worker told him BEFORE him paying, he could have made the choice of leaving or waiting for an additional 25 mins. They should have given him the CHOICE to decide what WE WANTED to do, not FORCE us to pay then force him to wait an additional 25 minutes for the 4 dinners, which conveniently benefitted the cashier/clerk and store as they made sure they got the purchase sale through BEFORE letting us know they were out of the white rice! Later, when we got the 4 large dinners at $13.99 each, the LARGE order portions were very SMALL. The stewed chicken portions were small, the beans that were put on top of the white rice were less than 1/4 of a cup and mostly bean juice, and the side salad was extra small. Additionally, the almost $11 large side order of beans was 1/2 filled with beans and 1/2 filled with bean juice. This is NOT acceptable and very unprofessional. Therefore, due to this unfortunate cashier/clerk's decision of not notifying us that they ran out of white rice PRIOR to us paying for the 4 dinners, plus filling less than 1/2 portion of the 1 large beans container--and then, giving us only SMALL portions of all contents in our 4 large chicken stew order meals along with only 1/4 cup of beans on top of the rice with an extra small salad, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ordering large dinners from Cibao Restaurant at 383 Amherst Street, in Nashua, NH. So, if you are looking for delicious tasting Dominican & Puerto Rican style well priced food, we recommend ordering from DON QUIJOTE RESTAURANT (+1-603-622-2246, at 362 Union Street, Manchester, NH, https://www.donquijoteunion.com/ . Don Quijote restaurant's food is amazing! Their large portion comes with 3 tender skinless chicken thighs in tomato with garlic, green pepper, onion, seasoned sauce with lots of great tasting habichuela beans and rice with a side order of salad. Don Quijote will give you what you paid for and serve you will actually get a large portion serving with their orders. Trust me, they send you so much food you'll have enough leftover for a second meal vs the other place (Cibao Restaurant) which leaves you wondering why they under serve their paying customers. read more

Cibao Restaurant - large Pollo Guisado with white rice Habichuela and side salad. - Dominican Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Decently priced. I got a regular sized stew meal it was $11. The stewed beef was flavorful but the Spanish rice was quite bland. As well as their lettuce with tomato and vinaigrette. Seemed like they added water to the vinaigrette or something. The beef was pulled apart but a bit dry. The rice was cooked to perfection but bland. The beef empanada was a little bit dry. But the chicken one was good and very flavorful. I definitely order that again. read more

I love this place. The portions are generous, the food is well prepared, the service is great and it's clean. The tripleta con mangu with the pickled onions is such a tasty, filling breakfast. BBQ spare rib with spanish rice and add on a side of pintos- very good!! If they improved the churros to have a more custardy inside and had a homemade chocolate sauce I would be in here every other day. read more

I was door dashing and the lady doesn't speak English so I wasn't able to communicate but she refused to give me the DoorDash order to take zero clue why but not the best place to order from DoorDash read more

I never give one star especially to small business. Ordered chicken stew with yellow rice. Now I have had a lot of Spanish food in the past and what in the h! The food was bland like they put water in the stew. And the rice was not moist. I also ordered a large plate and if that was their large then wow I am shocked. The staff were nice but won't come back. read more

We dined at Cibao Restaurant for lunch on 10/21/24. It's cute, I like what they did with the place (I used to go there long ago when it was a Subway!). Lourdes and Marlene were super sweet, and while they had no idea we were there for my birthday, they blew our expectations with their service. We had a wonderful experience and left there feeling like family. The servings may look small because of the plates used, but we were both full when we left and even had left overs to take home. I ordered the Carnitas (Fried Pork) with Moro Rice and my husband ordered the Costillas Guisadas (Stewed Ribs) with Moro Rice. Their Tres Leches cake is amazing! And I also loved the Guanabana juice. Everything was great. We cannot wait to return there, and plan to cater from them in the future as well. read more

Super friendly love staff and of course the food is amazing. The Dominican Caribbean sancocho ion Saturday and Sundays is to die for..

Super over priced and the staff is not helpful. Just ordering white rice and beans was a project. The taste of the food is bland and I ordered plantains that were so greasy I couldn't even bring myself to eat them. NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER FROM HERE!!! This place deserves 0 stars but I couldn't submit my review without putting one!!! read more
