For drinks, my sister got the orange soda while I just had a bottle of water. We also shared a single serving of flan. They charged us about $18, however I feel as though it would not have cost as much for other patrons who speak Spanish. Either way, the food was good but very salty. I would suggest getting plain white rice with the oxtail sauce contains a lot of flavor already. Recommended always!

It is such a nice treat to have this level of consistency in the food. Everything always tastes fresh, flavorful, and homemade. What I really appreciate is that this is the kind of everyday Dominican food many families actually eat back home in the DR. Real comfort food and classic street-food style offerings you would find throughout the Dominican Republic. The setup is buffet style, so you walk up, choose what you want, and they either plate it for you or pack it to go. The ox tails are outstanding, the chicharrón is always on point, and the rice and beans never miss. Honestly, I have not had a bad meal here yet. You can tell they take pride in the food and care about the quality. The only thing saving me is the 45-minute drive... because if I lived any closer, I would probably be a few more pounds overweight.

The restaurant doesn't look very big, but it definitely handles a lot of people. It was busy when we walked in but we were seated immediately (you seat yourself at any clean table and a server brings menus right away). We ordered coffees and waters then perused the menu, which is full of wonderful sounding options. I landed on the hash benedict and he got an omelet. We also ordered a blueberry pancake to share. My eggs were *perfectly* poached and the hollandaise was incredible. His omelet was full of meat. The home fries crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pancake was MASSIVE and full of berries. Service was immaculate. 100/10 will return

Bad customer service feels disrespectful and frustrating from start to finish. Staff act rude or…read moreuninterested, ignore questions, give attitude, or make you feel like a burden for needing help. Long wait times with no updates, wrong orders, poor communication, and no apology make the experience worse. Instead of solving problems, they blame the customer, pass you around, or act careless. You leave feeling annoyed, unheard, and unlikely to ever return. Bad customer service is when a business makes simple interactions stressful and unpleasant. Employees may be dismissive, impatient, or unprofessional, speaking with attitude or ignoring customers completely. Requests are handled slowly, mistakes go unfixed, and nobody takes responsibility. There is little communication, no empathy, and no effort to make things right. Instead of feeling valued, the customer feels frustrated, disrespected, and disappointed by the entire experience.

The char grilled chicken is well season and the overall portion is great. The rice and beans unfortunately tasted just average, I don't agree with Matt Shearer.
