From the start, the welcome was warm and genuine, with prompt, attentive service. The space itself is simple and cozy--no unnecessary frills, just what you need, which fits the experience perfectly. We ordered the cuatro golpes, and it delivered. As a Boricua who's spent plenty of time around Dominican food, I can say this felt authentic--like sitting in a friend's kitchen rather than a restaurant. That's not something you come across often. Before leaving, I took a look at the board with their lunch and dinner offerings--chivo, oxtail, red snapper, sancocho. That alone was enough to guarantee I'll be back next time I'm in Miami.

Visited here on a Saturday and was immediately able to sit and enjoy. Service was fast, friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. Oxtail is usually available on Saturday and came with a great portion of white rice, red beans and a side tostones.. it was enough for 2 people. When in Hialeah, I do my best to come here because it's a great spot.

The tables are outside but covered. As should be expected Latin music is playing all through out the place and at just that right volume level where you have to talk just a little bit louder and using your hands. The restaurant was lively and had a good amount of people. We ordered the Mangu and the Locrio de Cerdo amongst other things. Everything was really good. Food took awhile to come out but heard they had one person in the kitchen. But good company and good music makes the wait better. Overall it was a good place and it definitely gives off local spot vibes. Recommend if you are looking for some good Dominican food and vibes.

I crave Latin food every so often, so I made the drive and was not disappointed. I ordered the churrasco with white rice and red beans, and it honestly took me back home... it reminded me so much of my mom's cooking. The mofongo is also excellent, and we had the fried cheese, which you really can't go wrong with. I truly wish this place were closer to where I live in downtown because I ended up ordering it on Uber Eats and it took almost two hours to arrive. That's how badly I wanted those beans, rice, and mofongo and it was still absolutely worth it.

I think if you order mangú, it is prepared upon order. You are not rushed, you can sit and talk after you have eaten. If you love Dominican food, or like to try new foods, give it a try. I enjoyed the food. Remember, if you are in a hurry, this is not the place to go, wait until you have time.

As soon as you walk in bachata is playing in the background and you are greeted with a warm welcome. I went with my mom who is wheelchair bound and every single person from the customers to the employees offered to help move chairs around and tables so she would be comfortable. Everyone was so pleasant and nice. I would come back alone just for the hospitality. If you're expecting constant check in from the waitress- this is not the place. If you want their attention you call them and they will come to you. They have a food bar where you can go and order the food or sit down and they take your order. The manager also goes around asking the tables if they need anything and engages with the customers. Even the cook knows the regulars as he came out and greeted the customers sitting by the bar. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the picadera. It's about $25 but it's enough to fill 5 people as an appetizer. It has everything from tostones to different meats. We then ordered a morir sonando and my day was made! A true Dominican staple. And of course we couldn't leave without ordering Los tres Golpes. My boyfriend had never had Dominican food and he absolutely loved it. This is one of the best authentic Dominican restaurants in South Florida.

First things first...I found this place on a random Sunday morning, and was like heyyy this is great, why don't I go here for breakfast to have some Dominican breakfast...it was like 10am..come to find out they don't open until 11am. Cool, maybe I'll try them some other time. The next evening, I decide to go back because I saw on their storefront they sell chimi's...I pull up, all lights are off. It's Monday, they're closed. Fine. This past Sunday, I try for my very last time...3rd times a charm, right? Wrong. This time they're at least open!! I see on their storefront that they have sancocho, so my mom and I decide to go in. As soon as I walked in, I found it very odd that there is no music or tv playing. They could've been playing a little bachata or merengue, come on...ambiance?!? Whatever. I also find it weird they have a huge "Corona Beer" banner instead of Presidente...odd. We're greeted by a server who's not Dominican. (Right there is a red flag for me, I tend to like Dominicans serving to feel like home but as long as the cook is Dominican, fine.) She proceeds to give us 1 menu and tells us to sit anywhere and she'll be right with us. She takes forever to get to us, when she finally comes to our table, I decide to order a chimi that I've been wanting for a week...she says "sorry, we don't have chimis. As a matter of fact, we don't have anything with bread." Umm ok. I then tell my mom to order because I now need more time to look at their menu...my mom orders sancocho. She replies "sorry we don't have sancocho right now". (Even though their sign is blinking outside with sancocho.) I then ordered something with plátano, and she said they don't have any either. How do you have a Dominican restaurant and not have plátano on deck??! Who's doing the inventory in this place?!? It's lunchtime, what the heck? The server recommends the yaroa, which for ppl who don't know what that is, is like street food...fries, cheese and meat...I would eat this after the club, not really for lunch. At that point, we decided to just walk out, which is such a shame because even though their menu was limited, it all sounded good but they just didn't have anything available. SMH. I tried 3 times...I will not be back. There are far more restaurants that will gladly take my money. I'm giving 2 stars...1 because parking is available because it's in a plaza, and 2 because they're Dominican and wanted various items off the menu.

Siempre le he tenido cariño a este sitio y por eso me duele aún más tener que escribir esta reseña. Lamentablemente, la experiencia fue muy desagradable debido al trato de una mesera de origen Venezolana con pelo rubio. Se negó a atender a una persona en mi mesa, argumentando que los de mi mesa solo van a bailar y no a consumir. La actitud de ella demuestra una falta total de ética y capacitación en servicio al cliente. Negar servicio basándose en suposiciones personales es inaceptable. Me sorprendió muchísimo ese comentario, ya que en ningún momento se me ha informado que sea obligatorio consumir para poder disfrutar del ambiente y la música aparte de que siempre consumismo pero quisas no lo que ella pretende que se consuma. Su actitud fue grosera, poco profesional y muy inapropiada y aparte con tanta seriedad y muy poco amigable para ese tipo de trabajo, Como cliente que ha apoyado este lugar por años, no considero correcto que se hagan comentarios personales ni que se niegue servicio basado en percepciones. Todos merecemos respeto y un trato digno. Espero que la administración tome en cuenta esta situación y revise este tipo de comportamientos, ya que afectan la reputación del establecimiento y la experiencia de quienes hemos sido clientes fieles por tanto tiempo.

It is located in a small plaza; I got confused coming in because the plaza next door is not connected. There is limited parking when it is busy, but I got lucky that someone was leaving when I was pulling in. I walked in and ordered the Mangu 2 golpes. It came with salami and cheese. This is the kind of place where you can either order at the counter or sit down and order. I ordered at the counter and then chose a table and sat down. One of the waitresses came and took my drink order which was a ginger ale and quickly came back with it. The mangu was soft, fresh, and delicious. The cheese was fried perfectly and so was the salami. I especially love the pickled onions on top. I devoured the whole plate and contemplated ordering a second one but talked myself out of it. Once I finished my meal I got up and paid by the counter. This is a perfect place to come for a quick lunch, I was in and out in 30 mins and the food was delicious and fairly priced. I will be back here, would love to come here for breakfast next time!
