Behind the counter there is a welcoming selection of foods and treats of all shapes and sizes for people of all shapes and sizes: chickens, piglets, plantains, rices, coffee, soups, chicharrones, sweets, etc. The pernil and mangú make a heavy and nutritiously unbalanced meal that is delicious and slides down the gullet like a well-lubricated endoscope. I would highly recommend this combination. The mondongo is also very tasty, and its tripe is not overly chewy. In my several experiences, the amount of food in one plate is in fact enough for two meals. You shall find the prices to be quiet reasonable. Think around $10 for a a meal of great heft in the 2026th year of our Lord. The space is pleasant, with many tables for dining and socialization. There is also a bar for when you wish to go out on the town.

It was a "Small" order which isn't a great value compared to most Spanish local restaurants. The order was palm size and for the cost it was definitely not worth it at all. You can get bigger and better portion at La Isla or other Spanish owned restaurants. The meat was so dry I had to throw it all away. I hate wasting food. I'm truly against food waste. I even order from "Too Good To Go" on a daily basis to prevent food from going to waste. But this here was not edible. And this was not a too good to go order. This was a regular walk in order and I couldn't get past how old and stale the perñil was when I got home. I try to be mindful and give the best reviews possible but I can't fathom writing anything nice about a place people rave so much about that isn't good. Don't do it!

I honestly didn't know what most of them were so I just pointed LOL. Later found out I got the stewed beef. The plantains were very crispy on the outside and tender inside - some of the best plantains I've had. A delicious rice and red beans as well. The stewed beef was a bit overcooked, though there were a few juicy and tender pieces. They are EXTREMELY generous with the portions so expect it to be overflowing. There is a $10 minimum for credit card, I believe. Since their prices are so cheap you'll probably need to add a drink. Overall, great and cheap place to have some Dominican food. There's a few tables inside to eat at, too. Definitely go check it out!

It was a fried mashed potatoe ball with some ground beef inside, pretty bland. My next favorite was the blood sausage, it was a little dry and very mildly seasoned. I didn't like the pastillito at all. It had pulled chicken inside that was extremely dry and bland. The cuchiftito also was bland. The peril was dry and lacked flavor. In fact the rice and beans also lacked flavor!

I had a small moment of panic when I discovered they were no longer on the corner they used to be on, but then I realized they simply changed locations to the other side of the street, next to the liquor store. The quality is the same as I remember. And the ladies serving the food are always so incredibly kind and friendly. I practice the little spanish I know with them, and they are so patient. My partner is Dominican and I just love the Dominican people. They're also so generous. Holy cow, I ask for a lunch platter, and they really pile on the food. I'm always wondering how they're going to close the lid, but they always manage to, lol. My favorite thing to get from there is the paticas, maduros, cod, pasta, and chicken noodle soup. Their batidos are also amazing, especially the guanabana and mamey! LOVE THIS PLACE!
