The owners stand up front and greet you immediately. It's easier to speak Spanish so there's no misunderstanding. They do however speak English if you can't speak Spanish so no worries. The restaurant is clean! I mean clean. The food looks fresh and nothing is stale or left there to wither away. I ordered chicken soup with rice and my coworker got the beef platter. both were 10/10 and so damn delicious.

So I passed this place many times on my way home and knew it was Dominican cuisine but kept saying,…read moreI will try this at some point. Then one day on IG someone was reviewing it and I saw their Chimi Sandwich. I knew I had to make my way ASAP. So on my first visit, I ordered online for a pick up of their Chimi Sandwich (not pictured). The online app was okay but could use some tweaking. As soon as I unraveled the foil and bit into this sandwich, it brought me back to my days growing up in Washington Heights eating these sandwich's at 3AM off the food trucks of Highbridg Park. Instant euphoria and was upset when it was over. A must try. On my second visit, I tried their breakfast to see if this place can be consistent. I had the Mangu con Los Tres Golpes with onions. Not a drop left on the plate. Anda much needed nap followed right after. That meal is how you start your day, but be warned....sleepiness will come right after. On my third visit, I tried their Jersey Chopped Cheese. A great sandwich but I still prefer the Chimi overall. They add potato sticks as a nice treat and the Chimi sauce (Dominican mayo/ketchup blend) comes on the side, which I like to pour over the sandwich or dip when possible. Overall my experience with this place has been nothing but extraordinary. I sat there on my last trip and there is limited seating and fun locals who are taking their lunch breaks from their strenuous jobs. They offer rice dishes with different protein similar to most Dominican restaurants. Totally worth the visit and one of my new favorite local places. And as a Latino, I appreciate the small business in a community that is very mixed raced with limited great Dominican establishments.

Have tried the Spanish food which is also great. The food tastes home made. Have also tried the empanadas which are also outstanding. They offer plenty of sandwich and breakfast items as well.

No complaints at all.

I've been a long-time customer, although I usually place my orders through Uber Eats. The last time…read moreI ordered was back in January because I decided to take a break from ordering out for a while. Today I finally decided to order again, and I even made sure to place the order earlier in the day so everything would be prepared properly and I would receive the full order without any issues. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a big mistake. I ordered my usual combo roast pork, which clearly states on the menu that it comes with rice and beans. However, when I received my order, there were no beans included at all, and the portion of roast pork was extremely small--far less than what should be expected for a combo meal. It honestly looked like barely any pork was included. I'm really not sure how something like this happens, especially when the item is clearly listed as a combo that includes rice and beans. Those are basic components of the meal, and leaving them out completely while also providing such a small portion of the main item is very disappointing. As someone who has ordered from here many times before, this experience is frustrating and disappointing. I made sure to order earlier specifically to avoid issues like this, yet the order still arrived incorrect. For a paying customer, especially a returning one, this level of carelessness is unacceptable. I hope this can be addressed so other customers don't have the same experience.

I rarely do this because I honestly I'm a loyal customer of many local restaurants , BUT.. this…read moresituation is so ridiculous I have to make people aware of . I have been ordering from this place for at least 3 years now if not more , I place the SAME EXACT ORDER every single week at least once or twice a week and I even make the effort to speak Spanish since it's their home language in order to make it easy for them . So here we go , I called again for the 5 thousand time to place the same exact order and the woman on the phone seemed confused even tho I was talking to her in her native language , she out me on hold 3 times to take an one single order , obviously she had NO CLUE about the menu . Fine , I wait for the order and I get something completely different from what I usually order so I called them and explained what happened. The woman on the phone tells me she asked the chef and he sent me the order , so I explained to her that is NOT WHAT I ORDER EVERY WEEK . I even went as far to say they could come and get the food back since we are not eating and all she kept doing was telling me that's what the chef made . Duhhh that's what the chef made but it's not what I ordered . Making a long story short , she didn't offer to fix and send the correct order , she didn't offer me a discount or a credit towards a future order either . With that said sounds like nowadays they send you what the chef decides to cook or what the inexperienced person on the phone understands and not what you actually order . With that said they lost a loyal customer because I will certainly NOT ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN !!! Not to mention so rude on the phone tells. MEVER AGAIN .
