I had the stew goat, white rice and red beans with a papaya milkshake and 4 leche cake. The food was really welled seasoned and cooked perfectly. Even the rice was good, which is usually too soft, or grainy at other restaurants. The milkshake was really good. Would go back just for that honestly. The cake was okay, nothing to repurchase though. Staff was super nice. They do offer some tables to eat in, but I took my food to go.

In NY I enjoyed the best Dom Rep food in Washington Heights. Some one at work recommended this…read moreplace so I came for lunch. This place is a hole in the wall. 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

It's one of those dishes that gets even more delicious as you eat it. The meal was perfectly balanced, made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The chef was back there doin his thing! The pancakes were fluffy came topped with blueberries and strawberries, and a generous carafe of dulce de leche.

We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors!

We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!
