Wanted something different tonight and found Mamajuana. This place is festive and welcoming. Our…read morewaiter recommended the sangria. I normally don't order that because honestly it is usually served watered down. This sangria had oranges, apples, cherries and strawberries, it was refreshing and absolutely delicious. I would honestly say that you should visit here just for the sangria alone. After the sangria it only got better. We have the chimi sliders for an apps - we'll make son order s them for himself but they were so good that we may have forced him to share. I had the octopus salad, loved it. My husband had the charrasco and loved it the mamajuana burger was devoured before I realized it and the crispy chicken was also a hit All in all this place delivered on every level.

We both ordered the Mofongo and I found it to be dry and kind of tough which was a turn off but the margaritas tasted good and the owner came at the end with a shot of a house alcohol that was so good, I would of came back just for that. I would suggest trying it out, it could be better and maybe it just doesn't tickle my fancy but it might complete you. LOL

This Dominican cafeteria style restaurant is a extension of the meat market next door…read more Pretty convenient to have all you need for a restaurant to operate right in the same building. Pretty smart for the owners. So I'll eaten here quite a few times and their selections have the basics and a few different specials that usually is offered on a rotation of availability. Small dining area with a couple of tables. Primarily a take out establishment. The kitchen area is actually a larger floor space than the dining area so that means they prep and cook all day. Pretty busy the last few times I've stop by to pick up lunch on the road. That is a very good spot for a quick lunch and the selections are generally very satisfying. Definitely 1 of the better Dominican cafeterias around the neighborhood with a really good butcher shop next door and very convenient parking makes this an easy choice to make a break to Elwood Avenue so close to the the 95 exit. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're into the Dominican style food.

Dude! This place is a hidden gem. I recently moved to the neighborhood and the first thing I…read morenoticed was the smell of cooked meats permeating the air - and Merengue is definitely one of the contributors! My hubz and I are a regular here because it's so close and so cheap. I like this place more than La Gran Parada on Broad Street and the other places on Cranston. The rice and meat are fresh and not overly salty like some of the other places could be. Usually we can share one plate order and it will last 2 meals for the both of us! We like to get the pork shoulder, the short ribs and the soup (the one loaded with veggies and meat). It's definitely Dominican fast food so it may be difficult to communicate if you don't know Spanish, but pointing at the food and smiling goes a long way. You'll be fine, hipsters.

The restaurant itself was in a very busy and rough park of Cranston Street…read more Hard to get parking in front of restaurant, may have to park on a side street or away a few blocks a walk up. Food selections had a nice variety. I ordered a plate with rice and pigeon peas and stewed pork ribs which is accompanied with a small salad The rice was flavorful and nice and fluffy and the stewed ribs a was 1 of the better versions I've had. I also order a large mundongo (tripe soup) A side of white rice. So I gave 3 stars that's a because it was not the easiest place to place an order with some challenges with the language barriers. And the whole process seems a slow since all the food is already prepared. It would seem pretty simple to point scour into the containers and bag it up and out the door. But was a slow process. The food would get a 4 stars for that nice flavors and freshness. But the mundongo I pointed and ordered never made it to my bag. When I got it home, it was a large container of the stewed beans that is usually used to top the white rice. So I couldn't add my review on what I did not get.
