Food 4 stars, Service 1 star - got charged for food we received, but hadn't ordered…read more We went on a Thursday after hearing and confirming that there was a pig roast every Thursday and maybe Friday evening. We expected a proper pig roast outside, with a giant pig being rotisseried (gross but whatever). We went out to the patio area to sit, which was actually a really nice ambiance, but there was also definitely no pig roast happening, which was why we came here in the first place. We more or less got ripped off. Three of us ordered mofongo with pork belly (mofongo w/ chicharron de cerdo - $11). The waitress asked if we wanted some chicharron on the side and we said, "just whatever it comes with" and my mother reaffirmed in Spanish that we only wanted what it came with "como venga" (since the waitress seemed to only speak Spanish, which is fine). We get our mofongos and it comes with extra chicharron on the side which to be honest, I would never have ordered because I don't eat that much meat and also would never order a meat that I already had in my mofongo. I only finished half my meal by the end. And of course, when we get the check, the mofongo meal costed $25 each -- over double the menu price!!! -- because the waitress added the extra chicharron on the side. Which makes no sense since we literally didn't ask for it in the first place. Literally she more than doubled our order and the price for no reason. Service-wise, it took absolutely forever to order, get our food, and get the check despite us being the only customers for 75% of our time there. I understand they may have had delivery orders but honestly it was getting ridiculous towards the end, sitting for literally 20-30 minutes with no water after we had all finished eating (half the group ended up leaving us with cash and peacing out). Now, I will say that the food was pretty good, not amazing but good. The yuca fries were the best part and were 10/10. But after the slow service in addition to getting ripped off and doubling our order without asking, I can never return here out of principle.

When we told her we were not paying together and she needed to split the checks she left and came back with an attitude. There is no sign and no one communicates that they don't split checks or automatically add 18% gratuity onto your check. The service or food is not that good to have an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. There was one waitress/bartender so it took her awhile to get back to you.

The drink they call the Dominican Republic with tamarind and Brugal is the best tasting drink I have had in a very long time. So much better than the sum of its parts. And the yucca balls stunned me.
