Mofongo
Antonia D.

Okay I have lived in this neighborhood since I was born and can say la casa de mofongo is a must go to spot. The mofongo is delicious and will keep you full for hours. The drinks are delicious and will have you feeling nice. The service is like any uptown spot, you need to get their attention at times. This is a staple in the community. The ambiance is very warm and inviting. People come here with family and friends to celebrate. They also have great Latin music. If you're in the neighborhood and hungry this is a must! They also have great lunch specials!

Mofongo de Pollo

La Casa Del Mofongo does have some great mofongo IMHO but I am not Dominican & can't really compare it to any other as it was actually my first time trying it! However, my Dominican friends love this spot & I can certainly see why. I got the mofongo de pollo & it was quite tasty, I love the dressing (I don't know exactly what to call it) that it came with. Lastly, the portion was HUGE especially for the price. I managed to eat it for both lunch & dinner & was full. I'd definitely return back, especially to try the mofongo con camarones.

Been coming here for over 15 years and the shrimp mofongo with Alfredo sauce hits every time !!!! The ladies that serve and cook here are always friendly and attentive. It's always a party with the Dominican ultime so expect loud music and hookah.

NEW YORK SIRLOIN STEAK

Ambiance was excellent, came for the DR Independence Day. The beans were like so good, with rice. I never liked beans but I was obsessed. Salmon was decent. Ny strip was way overcooked. But over all I'll def come again.

This place is close to my new place, so gathered a group of friends to try it out for dinner. We got a private room upstairs, which was nice and spacious. I shared a Mixed Platter appetizer with a friend, which included tostones, sausage, beef, pork, as well as chicken. The highlights were the satisfyingly crunchy tostones, juicy sausage, and succulent pork. For my main course, I decided on the Fish Mofongo, which was absolutely delicious! The white fish was perfectly tender with plenty of well seasoned sauce, full of bold flavor. The Mofongo was of excellent quality, and had bits of pork throughout. The mashed plantain was soft, with just the right consistency. The chocolate cake was tasty with smooth, rich, sweet chocolate frosting, along with moist cake. Service was solid. Our waitress was patient and accurate with the orders. Everything came out in a timely manner. I do think the prices are on the high side, but I would like to return at some point to try other menu items.

Ox Tail Mofongo
Suha L.

My friends and I stopped by this restaurant after getting dropped off in the Bronx and saw that they had great reviews on Google. I've never had mofongo so I was very curious to see how it was! I wasn't expecting the ambiance of the restaurant to be as fancy as it was. I was expecting a local, casual joint, but the prices and ambiance said otherwise. Seems like someplace to go to celebrate or have a night out. The service was slow but I am going to assume it's because there was an enormous party right next to us. The food also took a long time to come out, but the flavor made up for it. This was my first time trying mofongo and I loved it! We had it with ox tail stew and the stew was amazing. It was sooo flavorful and the ox literally fell off the bone. The actual mofongo (pounded plantains) also had pork pounded into it and everything blended like harmony. The mofongo on itself wasn't as great and a little bland but that's why the stew was there! I think I would've liked it less if I got a dry meat with it 9/10. I don't know when I'll be in the Bronx again but I would go again for this dish!

CHURRASCO

The best churrasco on the block and only getting better. Amazing staff and always a perfect piña colada every time.

Sweet plantains

Everything is so good, best I have had in a long time! Tres leches desert was really good too.

Dominican good food
Rosanell J.

Authentic Dominican food. The options are very limited as to traditional Dominican staples, but the food was fresh and it was good. The waiter was attentive and polite.

Mofongo w/ carne frita
Tiffany A.

If could give this place a 3.5 I would. I'm Dominican so I'm very familiar with how things should taste, and the food here was subpar. The quantity was good but just lacked flavor. We ordered a couple mofongos (dry and bland) and sancocho (aso bland.) A lot of great menu options and they give you an entire avocado if you ask for that as a side which is nice. But honestly, you're in Washington Heights, you can have dominican food every few steps, unfortunately this spot didn't live up to the hype. Also it is important to note, that they do not serve mangu past 11am which is crazy to me since they serve mofongo all day. I didn't understand why they also couldn't serve mofongo con los 3 golpes, instead they wanted to charge every single item separately and give 3 of each thing which was too much food. 3 eggs, 3 salami, 3 queso frito...why? Our bill was about $75 for 3 people, and no we didn't have drinks. Also, service sucked.

Hello Yelpers, recently heard that this place becomes a lounge after hours/ when the restaurant closes at 11 PM. Is this true? If so details would be appreciated. Thank you…

We were there just as the party (lounge) started and it looked good/ fun it was packed.

My friend is turning 17 should I bring her here? And how old you have to be to order hookah because some places allows 18 and others 21?

Here it's 18 but not too many places under 18. It's real good Resturant

The staff are very friendly, despite the limited English skills (and we don't speak Spanish). The restaurant takes cash and Zelle. Both of the below entrees came with rice and (a very small portion of) plantain. *Roast Pork: I assume this was pernil. It had a nice balanced seasoning that was gently savory and went well with the rice. Not a particularly "wet" dish, don't expect a lot of sauce. *Chicken Stew: They gave us two large drumsticks of chicken stew. The marinade / sauce is VERY lightly flavored and I wish the seasoning could be stronger / more interesting. This is not the best Dominican food I ever had but I did appreciate the homey charm and the very low prices. For two servings of roast pork and one serving of chicken stew we paid $40 flat!! It was enough to serve our group of four. I don't know how many other places in Hell's Kitchen or other well-visited parts of Manhattan would be this affordable.

I'm not someone who is always saying everything is racist but when you weren't spoken to in a rude way, nobody kept bothering you and you still ignore and don't check up on us but check on all the other customers that are Hispanic. What other conclusion can I come to. You come to us speaking Spanish and once we tell you we don't speak Spanish from then on you're a complete A-hole. I'm a born and raised NYer and this is what I speak about when it comes to certain individuals in the Hispanic community. It's not all love. Some of them try and treat us as if they're better than and they're not. Long story short this bum didn't get a tip, but the server and the kitchen help that looked out did get a tip for just being decent and picking up the slack. Food is good get it to go because I only had an issue with that one server. Idk if anyone else is like that but I'm speaking on my family and I experience. If you're not Hispanic take heed and if you're treated the same way please don't tip. Do not reward bad behavior because you don't want to seem cheap. Fk em if they're rude and showing signs of racism. Which is crazy to me because you came here after us.

Everyone agreed with my suggestion to eat Latin American food and we made a reservation at Buena Vista, not far away from our hotel and also not far from the theater. We came over a bit early, around 5:15 and were immediately seated. We were immediately impressed by the business model. It is a melange of Latin American and Iberian faire with exquisite curation. Their cocktails were absolutely delightful, I had a Pantalones en Fuego, others had an exquisite margarita with passion fruit flavor and a Daiquirí de Fresa, just amazing. Then we ordered interminable Hors d'oeuvres. Their ham croquetas and mushroom croquetas were the rage, as well as the tostoncillos ibéricos and ceviche limeño, The main courses followed, a paella valenciana for two, the magret de pato, a delicious duck dish, and a grilled Argentine parrilla. Not bad for four people. Dessert included churros and tres leches. And of course, a bottle of a great Verdejo. Service was just flawless. We had several staff members all contributing to making our Father's Day evening special. All around us it was festive, with plenty of well dressed Spanish speakers in several tables, and the accents of a half a dozen Spanish speaking countries. Plenty of gringoes too. A beautiful collection of diversity. We left happy, ready to see "Oh Mary" and wanting to return
