Cibao Kitchen opened its third location in Salem at The Mall at Rockingham Park food court in the…read moreformer Au Bon Pain space. I've been to the other locations in Nashua on Ash Street and at the Pheasant Lane Mall food court several times and have had great food there. Cibao Kitchen serves up Latin American/Dominican food at very reasonable prices. The food is hot & ready served from behind the glass display counter. They offer a variety of meat entrees such as stewed beef, chicken, oxtail, ribs, pork served with choice of rice, and small salad for $7.99-$8.99 plus tax. They also sell spaghetti & fried green plantains ($6.99 plus tax), fried green plantains, sweet plantains, empanadas, stuffed potato balls, fried cheese, tamarind rice, Pepsi products, and fruit juices.  I stopped by this mall food court location late evening very recently and ordered my favorite Stewed Beef Dinner ($8.99 plus tax) and the last stuffed potato ball (filled with meat-$2 each). The portion here is good sized, the Stewed Beef was very tender. The Spanish rice and beans had good flavors and the salad was small and simple with iceberg lettuce, tomato slice, and ranch dressing. The stuffed potato ball (fried crisp outside) with soft mashed potatoes and ground beef in the center was a nice side to go with dinner. I would've ordered their empanadas too, if they didn't already sell out.  Though I am sad that Au Bon Pain (I enjoyed their croissants and pastries) closed in Salem, I am so glad that Cibao Kitchen opened another location at this busy mall.

Located conveniently at the Rockingham Mall in Salem New Hampshire, this spot specializes in…read moreDominican food. The first bite of rice filled my mouth with flavor. Then I tried the pernil aka pork shoulder, which was recommended by the young lady who helped me, was a perfect match with it. The pork was soft, tender and filled with flavor. The chicken empanada had potential, it was a bit dry but the chicken did have a good flavor. I think hot sauce or a mayo-ketchup sauce could have added some texture to it. But definitely, I do recommend Cibao, it was nice to see Latino food at the mall food court !!

If you're looking for delicious, authentic Latin food, El Típico on Canal Street in Nashua is…read moredefinitely worth trying! This is a small restaurant with a huge variety of choices. It's not a self-serve buffet but you simply tell them what you'd like, and they prepare your plate. My go-to is the rice and beans with pulled pork, marinated chicken, and sweet plantains, and everything is always perfectly seasoned and tastes fresh. They also offer seafood, vegetables, empanadas, roasted chicken, desserts, and plenty of other options. The portions are very generous, especially for the price, making this a great affordable meal. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast. The only downside is that parking can be limited. However, there is additional parking available in the Margaritas restaurant adjoining parking lot, which makes it easier. Overall, great food, generous portions, affordable prices, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. A little hidden gem in Nashua that I highly recommend!!!

I have no problem with the fact that the floors were filthy, the TV was blasting, the tables were dirty, the garbage was overflowing, and the service was cold. It was the fact that the food was terrible. The keyword is "dry". So much so that it was all really inedible. Yes, the food was dirt cheap. But you get what you pay for. I'm sorry Dominicanas, if this is typical then I feel bad for you. Maybe I was supposed to go to Pollo Tipico? I'll have to ask my friends.

We also ordered the chimis (Dominican Burger) and were unimpressed with those. Burger was overcooked - almost charred and they forgot to put the tomatoes and onions. Bread was soggy from the meat. So I'll skip the burger next time and just stick with the empanadas. Passion fruit shake was delicious. You order at the counter or order ahead and pick up. You can't eat at the location and the wait area is very small. It is a very busy plaza but parking is available.

It's not that expensive (best time is lunch for price) or greasy compared to other places, but I prefer "Pollo Tipico" (190 Lawrence St) because it's better food and cheaper, even though it's a smaller restaurant, but has NICER people.
