Our experience was mixed and, overall, a bit frustrating due to poor communication around seating…read more We arrived around 3:00 PM and were initially told there were no tables available. Then the host mentioned there was a table, but it was reserved for 6:00 PM. Since we wouldn't be staying that late, we were seated and given menus. Shortly after, when we expected to place our order, the waitress told us we couldn't remain at the table because it was actually reserved for 4:00 PM. She quickly took our menus and suggested we move to the bar. We were a group of four, so this wasn't ideal. We ended up sitting at the bar. During that time, multiple tables for four became available, but no one offered to seat us again. About 20 minutes later, the restaurant was nearly empty, and the table that supposedly had a reservation was never used. We left the restaurant at 5:00pm. The confusing and inconsistent information--from one person saying the next reservation was at 6:00 PM to another rushing us out claiming it was at 4:00 PM--made the experience unnecessarily complicated. It would have been appreciated if the staff had communicated better or offered us a table once more became available. While the situation left us feeling somewhat overlooked, the restaurant itself has potential. With better coordination and customer awareness, this could be a much better experience.

All the locals line up for this delicious food, and it's so worth it! Delicious food, great prices, generous portion sizes, large variety of menu options, great customer service! They have a HUGE menu! (See my menu photos). Most items (not all) are premade, and kept in hot steamer tables, ready for your order. There are a few items that are made to order. Our mofongo took about 15 min for them to make, but we didn't mind. The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. They took such great care in packaging our food. I was so impressed! Each item is overflowing the containers since the portions are very generous. They make sure to wrap each item individually, in plastic wrap, to avoid any kind of spillage. Don't waste any of the delicious juices and gravy! I really appreciated that the food didn't get spilled in the car before I got home! Kudos to the staff! We tried: -- Sancocho Soup ($11/Large): comes with a pint of white rice. Comfort food at it's best. Very good! -- Mofongo w.Pork ($10): comes with a small container of gravy. The Mofongo itself was a bit dry but good after you include some gravy. Very good and worth the wait! This was a great first experience and I can't wait to go back to try their goat stew, roast pork and other goodies. This restaurant is very busy, so the fast turnover for the food kept the dishes fresh and tasty. Rincon Dominicano is more of a takeout place but if you'd like to eat in, they do have about 10 stool seatings by the counter looking out of the window. Restaurant is very clean. So glad I finally made it here, and we shall be back to try other menu items!

It's worth coming out to Long Island just to swing by here and get delicious genuine Dominican food. Service is super fast and polite. They take great pride in their service and quality.

Appetizers, Empanadas, although flavorful, came lukewarm, at best, as if they had been sitting under a warm lamp waiting for their name to be called, instead of cooked to order. The Guacamole, the same. Brownish, as if it sat in the molcajete awaiting the next guest's order. Accompanying Plantain Chips the same. They should be cooked to order and served hot tableside. The Fried Cheese is a good addition. You should not taste stale oil that it was fried in though. The Mofongo (Chicken) was decent, although a tad stiff (it definitely needed the Amarillo sauce.) The fried Chicken Strips again, should've been hot but were lukewarm. The Mofongo's serving amount was smaller than what we're normally used to but it's a dish we could reorder. The Seafood tower lacked flavor and was overcooked. Every piece of Seafood curdled (Shrimp, Lobster Tails). The Crablegs seemed old, as they had black spots on some of the legs. The Tower definitely needed the Sauce, which seemed prebottled and not exclusive. It doesn't take much to make an Housemade Seafood Boil sauce versus just providing an oily pre-bottled one. The Grilled Chicken with Rice and Beans, seems like a safe bet but here are the issues/concerns: 1. The Grilled Chicken flavor was fantastic and the Char was perfect! The Chicken itself was rubbery and congealed, as if it was wet brined too long. Rendered it inedible. The rice was good but the Frijoles severely lacked flavor or a decent amount of beans. Fallen skin from overcooked beans does not count! The Drinks were worrh coming for. The Coquito, Berry Smash and Manhattan were all fuerte (strong) and REALLY good! BE CAREFUL to NOT PARK in the lot adjacent to the right. They do have a dedicated lot on the left, behind the main restaurant and next to their Hookah across the street by the docks. It's gravel so watch your heels ladies They play music so it'sa fun vibe. Puerto Plata is a good time if you eat first and come for drinks and music afterwards.
