1 Piece Empanadas, Stewed Chicken Combo
Samantha M.

They have Alcapurria!!! I always order from here when I want Dominican/puerto Rican (la Guagua). The rice and gandules and the sausage rice

a buffet

The food was good. There are many options, nothing to big to brag about. The place is nice, and the workers are great.

White rice, sweet plantains, fried fish and a cup of red beans. To drink, meregue flavored country club soda.

Simple and to the point, this restaurant is a cafeteria-line style restaurant with lots of options for Dominican-Caribbean comfort foods. Yes, it is authentic. The staff is friendly and courteous. Plus side, this Dominican restaurant serves huge portions for a good price - a bit cheaper than some of the other Dominican restaurants in the area. Appropriate for bringing kids too. The space is clean and tidy - and plenty of parking outside. Quick, casual and delicious. I will be returning to El Bohio Tipico. If you work/live in the area, definitely give it a try - you wont regret it, promise.

It was ok, but they didn't have any plantains and that's a big negative!

Meh! This place reminds me of Blue Sky in Miami where they serve food by the pound only not as good. I ordered the Roasted Pork which was dry and the rice and red beans were bland. The restaurant is attached to a latin supermarket which baffles me as to how they would run out of platano maduros! A Dominican restaurant without maduros is like a Peruvian restaurant without Ceviche. It's in a sketchy neighborhood so be aware of your surroundings. I wouldn't recommend.

Plantains and ribs with white rice

I had the ribs and white rice. Food was fresh (but it was 10:30am and taste was good. Clean atmosphere. atmosphere. Good place to go for some Spanish food.

I haven't been to this Jamaican restaurant in years, but I was craving some good Jamaican food and…read moredecided to pick up dinner for my family. To my surprise, they had relocated across the street from their original location, which is now an Aldi. When I walked in, I actually passed right by the entrance because the place looked nothing like I remembered! They've definitely upgraded the space into more of a lounge/bar atmosphere. You can no longer watch them prepare your plate like you could at the original location. Apparently, they've been at this new location for about two years now. The bartender who took my order was very pleasant, patient, and helpful with placing my order. The food took approximately 8-10 minutes to prepare, which wasn't bad at all. I ordered the oxtail plate and a combination plate with jerk chicken and curry chicken. My husband really enjoyed both the jerk and curry chicken. The rice was good, too, and the cabbage was nicely done. My only suggestion for the large plate would be to offer bigger plantain slices or include 3-4 pieces instead. Now, as for the oxtail... I wasn't a fan. I'm not sure what the sauce was, but the oxtail looked like it was covered in BBQ sauce. It just wasn't giving me the traditional oxtail flavor I remembered from my previous visits. It was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. I would definitely go with the curry chicken next time! Overall, I would come back. I'd also love to try their rum punch! They have $5 drink specials on Fridays and Saturdays, which is a nice bonus. I could definitely see myself bringing a few friends here to enjoy the afternoon lounge atmosphere. Overall, a good experience with some room for improvement. I'll be back for the curry chicken and to try that rum punch!

The curry goat had lots of big bones and the meat could have been cooked a little longer. The cowfoot soup was pretty good and tasty but it did not have any meat. It had dumplings and vegetables. The waitress/bartender could have been a little more welcoming and interacting; especially since there was only two women at the bar eating. The waitress was dry the entire experience. The ambience was nothing special. You can eat at the bar or in the dining are. They had a few jamaican pictures hanging up. I think I am a one and done with this experience

I was searching for some authentic Caribbean food and decided to stop by Lawrence's and it was…read moredefinitely a great decision! Tucked away off the main road, this spot immediately brings you into Caribbean culture the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is warm and the food absolutely delivered. It had been a long time since I'd had truly tender, flavorful oxtail, and their Oxtail & Curry Goat Combo definitely satisfied my craving. I ordered the large combo plate, which came with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. Both the curry goat and oxtail were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned. I also ordered a beef patty with coco bread, and I couldn't even wait until I got home to try it. The beef patty was flaky and filled with seasoned beef, while the warm, slightly sweet coco bread took it to another level. It was the perfect combination ,10/10!

The oxtails were tender and seasoned. I should have just got the large oxtail. But I opted for the…read morelarge oxtail with brown stew chicken. The portion to me was lacking for the price with the 2 meet. I had 1 normal oxtail and 3 bitty ones. The stew chicken wasn't flavorful at all. The meat lacked seasoning that you would expect to be throughout, it just tasted like paper chicken. I wouldn't get that again. Now the ginger beer was delicious! I'd take that ride again just for that

I will start by saying that this place is now serving dog food. The food was absolutely disgusting…read more- everything was hard, dry, and burnt, including the cake! Absolutely zero "F's" were given in the food preparation. The textures were appalling, as if the food had been scorched and then left out for hours before serving. The only remotely edible thing was the cold, burnt plantains, but even those were barely tolerable. I kept biting into gritty bits that I couldn't even identify as food, which made me seriously question the safety of what I was eating. If I had access to a lab, I would submit it to see what I'd [really] been served. I ended up throwing my entire meal in the garbage. To top it off, they've changed the name of the place, which just raises even more red flags. I can't help but wonder why they felt the need to do that. It's a waste of money, time, hope and food to ever go here. They disrespected the life of the poor chicken who died for this wretched soot seasoned, curry chicken slop. If my husband or anyone suggested this place I would seriously consider throwing hands. It doesn't matter what they are calling it now. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this place.
