    Was pleased with the food and there were plenty of options. Service was quick and friendly. The inside was clean and comfortable.

    Not as authentic as I expected. I was looking for Puerto rican food and this place is more of a Dominican/Colombian and PRican FUSION. Flavors weren't really defined. Food took a while to come out and was OK. Service was slow, the place isn't welcoming.

    A little burnt alcapurria and the nono pastel.
    Chica B.

    Not so bad but no so great either. I would come back but skip few items to eat from the menu. There is no alcohol on location but you can go and buy it at the liquor store next and they will open for you. Pastel- skip, as a Puerto Rican you know when the pastel is fresh and no reheated. The pastel does not go with ground beef. The alcapurria - get, it is a humongous size, like pastel size, a little bit too salty and burn but good. Carne frita con tostones - a go, good size portion of meat, but only 2 pieces of tostones. Pollo frito con tostones- skip, chicken was a little dry, rice and beans were a decent portion and again only 2 pieces of tostones.

    Tomorrow will mark 3 years since my mom passed away. On her anniversary I like to do things that remind me of her. This restaurant has all the classic Puerto Rican dishes that my mom would cook for me growing up so I had to come try it out. This place took me down memory Lane. We started the meal with some appetizers; unfortunately they did not have empanadas, which were my moms favorite so we settled for the Arepa con queso and the chicken one. The chicken arepa was wayyy better than the cheese. The dishes we ordered had very authentic Dominican and Puerto Rican flavors. We ordered three dishes: La Bandeja Paisa, Bistec Encebollado, and Locrio de pollo. My favorite part of each dish were the red beans; so full of flavor! Some dishes don't come with beans so be sure to add. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was for three reasons. The lady forgot our arepa with cheese, they did not have desert, and they were out of empanadas. Otherwise, this place met my expectations and was able to help with remembering my mom!

    Clean but very empty.

    We went to celebrate our 44th. anniversary. We have NO regrets and we will return. The menu is bi-lingual but the co-owner Julio Caesar will help you with your choices and explains what you are ordering. We shared an order of mofungo which was excellent and heavy in garlic which came with 2 large pieces of fried pork. My wife had the rice with gandulues with pastele. She wasn't pleased with the pastele. I had the same rice and we both enjoyed it. I had a very tasty portion of stewed beef. The portions were very large which is a good thing when the food was so good and tasty. Beware that everything comes out hot and don't be in a rush as they are cooking it fresh. There were several platters that were not available till the weekend. I really wanted the goat dish. The restaurant was super clean. We walked away stuff and satisfied.

    I was excited to find this place because I love Spanish food. The prices were reasonable but I was disappointed with the customer service. The young waitress assigned to our table got very offended when I asked her to speak in English. She had an attitude the entire time after that. Beautiful but rude. I was afraid she would spit in my food if I addressed it. We quickly ate and my husband and I vowed never to return. The Mofongo is better at Punta Cana Restaurant anyway.

Once we entered the…read moreestablishment, we were greeted right away and were given menus to look through before our order was taken. This was our first time here so the menu was big and it had a lot of options to go through. Although some items were on the pricier side, they all looked very good and were worth to try. I got carne guisada with maduros, white rice and red beans as my dinner. We also had gotten salami con queso which came with tostones as an appetizer. The presentation was great but it made it a bit of a hassle to go back and forth between all the little pots as you are trying to eat. I love to mix all my food so that's what I said that. The guisado was a little too oily and over-seasoned, a little too salty for my liking. Overall I'm glad we were able to try yet another Dominican spot. Give it a try, there is something on the menu for everybody.

The menu looks great and has plenty of options. The decor is super cute and it looks like they have some work space available. My only complaint there was the seating. The chairs just didn't fit well under the tables so I was constantly kicking my partner since I tend to move a lot. Each dish that came out was very well presented. Maybe sometimes too much going on the table with all the cutting boards, cute little pots and pilón. On to the food! The salami con queso hit the spot but was not well balanced with the amount of tostones provided. Definitely needed more salami & cheese. The salsa rosada paired well. I followed with the mofongo de chicharron. The chicharron was perfectly cooked. The skin was very crunchy and had a nice chunk of pork. The way this dish is presented made it hard to eat as I normally would. Even after clearing the way, the mofongo was very dense inside of the pilón. This made it hard to mix in the accompanying sauce. To make things extra awkward, I felt as if I was being watched most of my meal. Maybe because we were the only patrons dining in but combined with the difficulty of eating my meal, it just made for a less than ideal experience.

Compared to many of the Caribbean all-encompassing establishments that exist, this place is most definitely legit. Like many family-owned places in the area, it is part convenience store and part restaurant. The dining room is deceivingly spacious, with ample seating for all sorts of groups. They are primarily a takeout joint and are especially busy during lunchtime where they offer some of the areas best hot lunches. It's a lot more quiet at night, which would be advantageous for a big group looking to go somewhere where there's plenty of room. I'm extremely pleased with the authentic options, which include mofongo, bizcocho, sancocho, mangú, pollo guisado, yuca con mojo, arroz con gandules, locrio, and espaguetis (#1). I've only been able to sample a handful of items and am eagerly on the hunt for pastelón (#2) and am very keen on trying their version of tres leches. The pollo guisado I had was full of flavor and perfectly stewed over habichuelas and rice. My espaguestis was a tinge on the salty side, but had a nice amount of olives and the indulgent greasy finish that I would want in any pasta meal. Lastly, the mofongo was quite tasty, thought I do wish we had more chicharron in the mix. The staff is most definitely Dominican as well. I was greeted every step of the way, followed with a "que lo que" and I appreciated the kind service. Prices are solid for the area and cash is preferred here (#3). I am so pleased an option is here and I look forward to many future meals. __________ (#1) Dominican style spaghetti. (#2) Dominican style lasagna. (#3) Read: credit card fee.

    A New Yorker in Houston... finally feeling at home!…read more As a New Yorker now living in Houston -- and a Colombian who loves Dominican food -- I have been searching everywhere for authentic Dominican flavors. I have especially been craving Bizcocho Dominicano, and since my fiancé and I got engaged on February 1, I had only ONE non‑negotiable for our wedding: it had to be a Dominican cake. Honestly, I searched online with very low expectations, thinking there was no way I would find a true Dominican restaurant in Houston... and then I discovered Antojitos Dominicano. We visited on Saturday around three o'clock in the afternoon. We arrived late, so some of the daily specials had already sold out (which we regret!), but everything we did try was absolutely delicious -- comforting, flavorful, and authentically Dominican. Then came the moment of truth... the cake tasting. And let me tell you -- the first bite lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I turned to my fiancé and said: "We found our wedding cake!" The flavor, the texture, the nostalgia -- it was everything I had been missing and hoping for. Pure perfection. I am beyond grateful to this New York family for bringing true Dominican cuisine to Houston. Their food, their cake, and their warmth make the restaurant feel like home.

It was cooked perfectly though, very tender and even though the portion was smaller than I'm used to it was just the right amount for me to eat during lunch, just not enough to take home for later like I'm used to doing at other Caribbean spots. We ended up getting patties, plantains and jerk chicken to go. Also, the patties were fresh and piping hot but the rest of our food was warm, almost room temperature.
