    It was soggy, reminded us of mangu
    Jackie R.

    This is my second time ordering from there and the first time we ordered fried chicken chunks with bone (chicharron de pollo con hueso) with white rice and beans which the beans I received an hour later. When I tried to call the place after a half hour regarding the beans because we were still waiting patiently, one of the girls kept me on hold for 15 minutes then hung up. I tried again and told a different female that the other girl left me on hold for 15 minutes and she says hold one and asked the other girl if she left me on hold and the lady then says to me, you are wrong she didn't do that and anyway your beans is on it's way. SMH, amazing. Not even an apology. The driver told me that they gave him the wrong address and he was very apologetic. In regards to the food, it was just ok. Not much flavor. Today we decided to try their Monfongo with penil (pork) and it was not good at all. Seriously, it was not good, I am still nauseous. So, let me explain why. Monfongo, that I know is fried plantains mashed with a little garlic and pork and served with a meat sauce. This Monfongo with penil was omg soggy... yes soggy. We tried to eat it because we were hungry but it was disgusting. It looked like they mixed fried platanos with boiled platanos and mixed in the pork. It reminded us of Mangu which is boiled platanos. It was not good at all. I am actually nauseous from it and my daughter in laws stomach is all messed up. I have photos of it and what is left. The one and only positive thing I can say about the monfongo is that they did put a lot of penil in it. I honestly tried giving this place another try but never again. I would not recommend. Poor customer service and the food is not that good. My opinion of course.

    Place is a hit or miss. They also take forever in making their orders. I try to avoid going there unless necessary.

    Food was great. Service was good because the workers know English and Spanish. I recommend you to get a lunch special of their pepper steak.

    Amazing authentic food and drinks! The service is also great. Highly recommend. Do not go during…read moreweekend no reservations only walk in

    I was a bit confused about the times for the locations because we noticed 9 p.m. on one and 10 p.m…read more on another. I tried calling the one on Crescent Ave but got no answer after having the phone ring for a while. But I decided to go with this location because Crescent said 9 p.m., and this one said 10 p.m. The location is on a busy street. We did get Lyft, so that wasn't an issue for us. But you might have to walk a bit if there's no parking. It's spacious outside when you first enter, and there are two sides to be seated. We were seated right away and given menus. The decor is cute, and the wall artwork is colorful and lovely. Great music was playing late at night. We did arrive after 8:30, more like 8:45ish. They were out of something we wanted to order, but the server, I think, his green apron, said Juan. I'm not sure if he said his name at the time. As I said, we were hungry, which was the main focus, not to mention arriving before they closed. The appetizers were delicious. I suggest getting two if you have a big group because three pieces on a plate are insufficient for four people. The food came out promptly, everything was delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. I hope to return and get the name of what we ordered. I'll use that as an excuse to return because everything looked good on the menu. I know we got Chicharron, flan, and tres leche, but the names of the dishes Yes, I could look at the menu, which I took a picture of, but I would prefer to go back

    BOKAGUÁ in the Bronx really did what needed to be done... Dominican x Asian fusion?? Yeah... they…read moresnapped. From date night to girl night this is definitely the perfect spot. The ambiance was nice and moody but still gave sexy. The music was good and service was even better... Oxtail samosas, lobster fried rice, cocktails, and a whole vibe I will definitely be back... did i mention I actually enjoyed each dish...them oxtail samosas so good.

    This spot feels like it's quietly stepping into a much-needed role as a high-end date night option…read morein an area that leans heavily casual and family-friendly. The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.
