Grilled chicken
Claudine R.

Driving through on our way to Maine and stumbled upon this restaurant. First, parking was easy in a private lot and service was friendly and attentive. Had the chicken empanadas for appetizers and enjoyed it. I had the pork chops with rice, perfectly fried and delicious. BF had the grilled chicken and mofongo, mofongo was good however the chicken was bland. And my friend had the bistec encebollado, did not enjoy his dish, he said beef was just okay tasting and looked like dog food, see photo. Salad came with entrees and had a really weird, sweet tasting dressing like caramel sauce. So 5 stars for my dish and but had to take 2 stars for the other dishes. And FYI, check your receipt because it comes with 20% gratuity and a service charge, probably for credit card use. Food was reasonably priced but there are extra charges you need to check.

So. Instead of going to a fancy-pants restaurant for our anniversary, we decided to spend it on the…read morecouch and order food that reminded us of where we spent our wedding just 2 years ago. Can I say? HOLY COW. We ordered the famous jerk chicken and curry chicken. Both with rice and veggies. The jerk chicken was delicious, tender and spicy enough to leave a buzz on your tongue without being overpoweringly hot. My husband commented that it was truly authentic and the flavors melded together beautifully. The curry chicken was falling off the bone and literally melted in my mouth like butter. The sauce was thickly coating every inch of meat with flavors reminiscent of my travels to the Caribbean. The rice? I will say, as a Puerto Rican, I have never liked rice outside of that. Pilaf, Mexican, sometimes even Chinese rice. But this?? Omg. Their rice and peas soaked up the chicken marinades wonderfully and enhanced the entire experience. CANNOT wait to order again! Best meal I've had in months!!

I always loved this place but anymore!! I ordered Oxtails with rice and veggies and an order of…read moreStew chicken with rice. Now she raises her food prices again it's $24.00 dollars for the oxtails and she call that medium and 15.00 for Stew Chicken. the amount for the stew chicken not bad that's reasonable. For 24.00 dollars you don't serve oxtail that's mostly have fat on it and 4 chopped up pieces. The stew chicken gravy was red and taste like spaghetti sauce. I just had to call her and tell her about it! She was silent and said she didn't hear what I said it I repeated it and then she said it was a medium and I said a medium with no oxtails and your stew chicken tasted like spaghetti! I will no longer buy from you again and will tell all friends! once it gets out there you will lose business and raising your prices won't help!! Do Better in your community who always supported you and this is what we are getting in return. Not returning! She needs to go back cooking and serving the way she when Covid - 2024 Today she earns a big 2 from me!

Outside the place looks a little shoddy. I wasn't even sure if it was opened as I couldn't see any…read morelights on. But because of the reviews I had to at least check the door. Bam! It pushed right in. It was opened. The place is quaint. There were quite a few ppl there waiting to order which made me feel good about it. I ordered the small ox tails. I went to the bathroom while I waited for food to prepare. FYI, the lock doesn't work, so you either have to have someone watch from the outside or hold the door while doing your thing in the inside. J/S ‍ Anyway, food was ready. I added hot sauce because I love it super spicy. After the first bite I fell in love!! I really wanted the curry chicken, but all the reviews said I should try the ox tails. And I can rest assure (and assure you as well) that it was a hit! It seriously ignited my taste buds. Mmm mmm mmm. You will absolutely love it! And the hot sauce was not too vinegar as some hot sauces. It was the perfect complement to the food. I wish I added more but I wanted to try it first since I wasn't eating there at the restaurant. All in all - food was delicious. Bathroom was relatively clean. And serving conditions looked well behind the counters. Remember it's CASH ONLY and it only cost $11 for a small. And that was more than satisfying. I didn't want to stop so I stuffed my belly. I even chewed the bones it was so good. ‍

Maria's Kitchen - Beef stew and potato salad

Maria's Kitchen is a gem in downtown Worcester. It's easy to ignore as you drive down Main Street…read more The food (Dominican) is authentic and very flavorful, the service is great. They speak some English and did a great job explaining the many dishes they offer. Some of the dishes include stewed cow stomach, stewed beef, or stewed fish. I spoke to them mainly in Spanish; they were kind and helpful as my Spanish isn't the best. If you want the monfongo it is made to order. I'll come back to try it. I'm a monfongo lover and I heard it is wonderful here. Monfongo is plaintain mashed like smashed (not mashed) potatoes and mixed with garlic and evoo of butter. Aka deliciousness. I ordered the yellow rice and stewed chicken with yucca. The yucca was a little dry, undercooked in the core but the food was great. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not over cooked. The rice was nice with the sauce from the chicken dish. The flavors were all there. I love food with dimensions of flavor if that makes sense. Sort of like African food where you can taste so many herbs and veggies in one bite. Delicious. And not overly salty. I love that I could see thyme sprigs in the chicken sauce. My kind of eats. Please check this place out. When you do be careful and extra alert - it's downtown Worcester. There were quite a few druggies etc hanging out on the block where the restaurant is. The food will dance in your mouth and make the trip worth it.

My kid recommended this place. I didn't know what to order so they put together this plate for me…read more Flavorful and so good. Big portion. Get the potato salad!
