I ordered a chicken and a cheese empanada - it was crisp, delicious, and worth the positive comments how good it was. I never took pictures that day, I ate it because I was so hungry. I'll be back if I'm craving empanadas again. Staff is friendly, all forms of payment. There is indoor seating or you can step in on the go.

This is by far the best Dominican restaurant in the area they literally can't be out done.read more

First time having a meal from here and it was good but could've been better. I had a Dominican…read morepatacon which came with shredded chicken, cabbage, tomatoes, pink sauce, and fried salami & cheese. The chicken was flavorless & very dry, which was disappointing, it tasted like it didn't even have salt. However the salami & cheese added flavor to it, thank god. I also wish the plantain would've been flatter because it was way too thick. However, the portion size is huge, I eat a lot and I got full with half of it. I also had a batido de lechosa and that was very very good. I look forward to going back & trying other things on their menu, hopefully they have more flavor.

Oh God, that club sandwich took me back to my samurai chancletas days at chito's cafeteria. Best club sandwich I have had in forever, tasted like original Dominican club sandwich and the beef quipe was tasty as well, will sure be visiting again to try their other fares. Service and attention is on point and you might be lucky to find the staff filming their instagram skits while there, free entertainment.

They have a great selection already out and you can also order from their regular menu. I usually get their pernil with rice and beans and for breakfast their mangu with the tres golpes without question! But I have tasted other things like their pollo guisado, empanadas, pollor frito etc and all have been really good. Can't go wrong with this in the cut spot in Passaic!
