I went there once with my father, who due to his Parkinson's had trouble swallowing certain kinds of food, and Johan made sure he chose exactly the right food for him. The amount of love he puts into his food shines through.

No hay ni una que tenga modales. Tratan a los clientes como si uno pidiera de gratis, se ponen a hablar por teléfono con el lugar lleno, y hasta a bochinchear entre ellas. Humildemente pienso que porque tengas clientela, un restaurante es una combinación entre sabor y servicio.

No one was at the register to take my order. The owners and employees were scrambly behind the counter and kitchen. Hardly no food was on display.

They have a few pArking spaces behind it so that was cool. The place looked clean. They have a variety of typical Dominican dishes. Some examples are moro, chicharron, pernil, pollo guisado, white rice, chivo, bistec en salsa, chuleta frita, yuca con cebolla, vejetales con cebolla and of course mangu. All looked very tempting. I initially wanted the fritura or a chimi but opted for the moro because it looked nice and some chicharron. The girl charged me $7.00 for a pound of chicharron. ( thats over priced) and $4.00 for rice. They both came out to $11.00 which is overpriced for lunch. I asked for lemon for my chicharron and she didn't have any. How do you sell fritura and not have lemon? Wack! I also bought a pastelillo and alcapurria. Alcapurria is a PR thing. I should of known better. The alcapurria was soggy and the chicharron was mega greasy and bland. To the point were my chest was on fire with heart burn. The pastelillo de queso came fried with wrapped processed cheese in the middle. Not even real cheese. Yuk!! The rice was on point! I enjoyed that and ate it plain with nothing else. The portions are standard. The staff was friendly as they should be and had their hair tied back with nets. I give this place 3 stars because you can tell they're really trying. Take your food to go as its very tiny with only 3 tables to eat.

They give small portions of food for a lot of money. It's decent but it's really not worth it.read more
