    a plate of food
    Tyler D.

    It took a while for me to get service here which is why I would give this place 3 stars. I sat down and it took 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged me... When the lady finally came up, she spoke Spanish, I spoke English, she immediately walked away. I speak Spanish so I would've switched to Spanish but as soon as a word came out she walked away, lol... When somebody finally took my order it was annoying because there's no menus or prices plus I had been waiting a while (hopefully it's changed now this review is from my visit 3 months ago). I don't usually care too much about service but there are cases where it's bad. I read other google reviews and other black folks seem to have had a similar experience... Now, I still have to give credit where credit is due and my food was pretty good, check out the pics. Personally, I can't come back to places that do this when I'm spending money there. I would say it's a one off, but there are multiple reviews (on google maps) saying the same thing. If you try it hopefully you have a better experience with the service.

    This is my go to lunch spot. Food does not disappoint and makes me feel right back in DR. Good portion sizes for the price.

    My food was amazing last week, leading me to go back to the restaurant again this weekend. We took…read moreout for lunch on Saturday. It was not crowded at lunch, but we got there when it first opened. We looked at the food up front, and inquired about the things that looked good. We ordered the pernil, sweet plantains, goat, skirt steak, winter squash stuffed with chicken, shrimp ceviche, mashed potatoes, yellow rice & beans, and tres leches. That was a lot of food- and we had it for lunch and dinner. We have leftovers for tomorrow. Everything was delicious. I usually don't like mashed potatoes at restaurants, but I liked these. My husband and I reviewed which food was our favorite. He liked the skirt steak with the yellow rice and beans. I think I like the goat with the rice and beans. I usually don't Iike rice, but I am a fan of rice and beans. I didn't get chicken thighs and legs that looked good, because we ordered so much food. The person behind the counter was very friendly and hopeful. The restaurant was still clean.

    Okay so listen--being a Dominican in Chicago and now Fresno means I've been living in a…read moreplantain-less wilderness for YEARS. But then I walked into this spot and was immediately hit with the holy trinity: merengue, típico, and bachata blasting like it was a Saturday in Santiago. First off, shoutout to Christine--our waitress--who was sweet, chill, and had us feeling like VIPs. Then there's Jasmine, aka the Mamajuana Queen . She knew my happiness window was limited, so she made it her mission to turn the vibe ALL the way up. And then... she hit us with the cured Mamajuana shots. Not just a drink--this was ancestral medicine. Now let's talk FOOD. Dominican sushi. Yes. Tres. Golpes. In. A. Sushi. Roll. I almost cried. Then came the skirt steak with tostones and baby, let me tell you... I've never looked at a plate with that much respect. My husband had pork chops with arroz y habichuelas, and my friend smashed the chimi tostones like it was her last meal on Earth. The place? Clean. Cute. Culture-rich. And if you're not ready to go home after dinner, guess what? There's a club upstairs. That's right--dinner downstairs, dance battle upstairs. Dominican efficiency at its finest. Final verdict: This spot is a whole experience. Not just food--this is a vibe, a reunion, a spiritual realignment. If you're Dominican and homesick, GO. If you're not Dominican but love flavor and joy, GO. If you don't like this place... honestly, I can't trust your taste buds.
