There are only 5 booths and 4 counter seats. Also there is a long bench to sit on as well but no table. Most people get food to go. Food is already cooked, so you just say what you want and you get your food on a styrofoam plat-no waiting. There is one unisex restroom. Half chicken w tostones $7.99 Whole chicken w tostones $13.99 Pechugina w tostones $6.99 3 puede fried chicken w tostones $5.99 Grilled chicken salad $8.99 Whole chicken and rice $15.99 Whole Pollo centro w rice $15.99 Whole grilled chicken 11.99 Half 6.99 Drinks are from a cooler not fountain The grilled chicken is well seasoned and fried chicken is very crispy.

Best chicken ever

Food is pretty basic. It does satisfy those cravings for a quick Spanish food fix. Place is clean.

Pollo Tipico - Tostones, fried pork

Pollo Tipico

After a long afternoon of shopping, my friends and I built up and appetite. We wanted something…read morequick that would calm our hunger for the drive home to RI. One of my friends was more familiar with the area and recommended we come here. She ordered a plate of fried pork with tostones, some guisado de res, and white rice. The total was around $20 which was fair for the portion sizes. The guisado was a bit oily but the flavor was really good and the meat was very tender. Since the tostones did not come with a sauce, we ended up dunking them in the guisado. The tostones were on the thicker side but crispy and tasty. The fried pork was good, although maybe a little bland. The lime helped a little bit with bringing out the flavor. The white rice was good. They offer a small, medium, and large portion - small was good as a snack for 3 people. I would come back and try more of their menu items. They have a parking lot, but it was packed and the snow didn't help. There is also street parking. It is in a lively part of town, so I enjoyed people watching while eating in the car.

This is a family owned Dominican restaurant that serves a variety of typical homestyle dishes. The…read morespace is pretty big. There's a large dining/ bar area and a takeout side with a few tables. We ordered the sancocho and rabo guisado (Oxtails), with white rice and plantains. The sancocho was pretty good. It had a lot of meat and vegetables, the white rice was perfectly cooked. I thought the sancocho had a bit too much garlic in the seasoning, but it was still great, especially since it was rainy and a bit chilly. The Oxtails were simply amazing! They were extremely tender and practically falling off the bone. The sauce was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the white rice. I've never had Oxtails this good at a restaurant. They tasted just like when mom recipe takes hours and hours to make since you want to cook it long enough for the meat to become tender. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food came pretty quickly. Prices were very reasonable. If I'm back in the area, I will definitely return and order the Oxtails.
