    Dominican Platter
    Sarah S.

    this is part of R house, a food hall/community center in remington. they mostly do empanadas, but i'm a fan of their lemonades and platters. i got the dominican platter with roast chicken, which came with rice, a salad, plantains, and two large pieces of chicken. the chicken was cooked very well, it was juicy and had crispy skin. the plantains (as most other reviews point out) are really well done and very tasty. everything isn't too seasoned but is still very flavorful, which in my opinion denotes good cooking. the lemonades are large and tart too. i find myself craving the dominican platter often, and will be back to get it again.

    I was at R House a couple of weeks ago and ordered empanadas and maduros as a snack. I had a little bit of an ice cream craving but decided not to get a scoop because... balance lol Fast forward to this past weekend... I specifically went to R House for a side of maduros from Tio G's to pair with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream from Taharka Brothers. It was SOOOO good. Highly recommend trying this combo

    So delicious shrimp and crab empanadas wish I got two. Service was great. It's in a food court at R House.

    I've been here a few times and the empanadas certainly hit every time!!!! They don't go wrong. The lemonade & service is good too. Nice chill vibe, the service feels familiar like a cousin serving you their favorite snack! would highly recommend

    Dominican platter - rice, salad, roasted pork, and tostones.
    Frankie L.

    Great food, great prices. I ordered the Dominican platter with roasted pork. Everything was flavorful. It usually comes with sweet plantains, but they substituted tostones. I'm glad they did because the tostones were perfectly crispy. I'm posting this because I was looking for photos of this menu item and couldn't find any. Customer service is top notch.

    Empanada with mango lemonade
    Brent C.

    The beef and chicken empanada fillings are flavorful. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. The beef could be better, but it was still good, and I would order it again. They were perfectly fried, crispy, and not grease. The mango lemonade was fresh and delicious.

    Steak & Cheese empanada
    Ann F.

    This place was my first stop after we dumped our luggage at the hotel. The empanadas were very filling and flavorful. I was surprised at how heavy my to-go box was. Big pieces of shrimp and real crab in the seafood one and plenty of tender steak and gooey cheese in the other. Really fantastic service from the guys working! They even gave us recommendations of other places to visit in Charm City. I would stop here again if I visit Baltimore a second time.

    chicken empanada with rice and salad

    Had the chicken empanada and it was delicious! The red sauce that came with it was WOW 10/10. I love how the food isn't too oily! Def recommend this restaurant if you're looking for good empanadas in Baltimore.

That's when I try out the food which is absolutely amazing. 1st time here I had the yellow rice and beans, stewed pork and sweet plantains. 2nd time I had white rice with black beans, stewed beef, and mangu (mashed green plantain, Dominican style). The portions are a great value and the food has amazing flavor, and very well seasoned. Casual and relaxed atmosphere. Nice, chill restaurant and mini-bar. I wish this restaurant had a location in Fairfax, VA! Highly recommend.

I do appreciate I can build my plate to my preference. Pictured was the combination pork (braised & pulled) over rice and beans topped with gravy. Be mindful if you do not eat or desire a lot of rice to let the staff know; otherwise, you'll get a healthy serving of rice with your meal. To date I've eaten nearly every option they serve which are simply delicious. This restaurant is good to visit for all hours throughout the day and evening. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor patio spacing to accommodate groups and their customers. The music varies but I've heard my share of bachata played over the speakers. The owners and staff are committed to serving their customers. I do believe this is a family owned and operated establishment. For the first timers visiting you may order similar from behind the counter similar to chipotle or order made to order menu options such as the coconut cream fried red snapper over rice. They also have tasty empanadas. Overall 4.4 out of 5

The Sancocho is amazing. Its a hearty meat stew that in my family we call it the hang over soup or the feel better soup. Growing up if I had the flu or a cold my mama would whip this up. Their soup was good... but I wish it had tripe and more meat in the stew and a bit more seasonings. Would i order it again? Probably not. Mofongo. Something that I absolutely love.. It didn't taste fresh.. the chiacharrones ( fried pork cracklings) was not crispy :( The saving grace was their chicken guisado.. a very hearty chicken stew ... that was a chef kiss. The employees are great. But if your looking for delicious Mofongo.. ita in lower east side NYC..

Unfortunately, due to bad past experiences with mofongo from other places, I decided to skip the mofongo and go for a guisada (stew). Generally speaking the beef stew, which was served with beans and rice was decent. However, for my tastes, the stew seemed to be really greasy/fatty. I do not think that I ever had a guisado with so many fat droplets in the "soup". Also, I thought the beef was a bit tough/chewy for a stew; I was expecting the meat to be a bit more tender. While the stew was not horrible, I will say that I was a bit disappointed that I spent $20 on it. Since this is a Domincan restaurant, a little Spanish might go a long way. Overall, I thought the staff was nice. However, this appears to be a place where the staff knows a lot of the customers (or at least the Latino customers), so you might feel a bit like a persona non grata upon entry. However, they'll probably will warm up to you after a few minutes. While I somewhat enjoyed my stew, I really enjoyed my margaritas more. Since I'm still new to the area, I might check out some other Latin/Dominican restaurants before circling back around this restaurant.

    I Was Craving Some Real, Home-Cooked Food Like Rice, Beans, Just Something Filling & Comforting…read more Luckily, I Found This Spot On Yelp... And Wow, This Place Is A True Hidden Gem . I Feel Blessed & Grateful That I Came Across It. This Is Authentic Dominican Food Made By True Dominicans, And You Can Taste The Love In Every Bite. It Really Brings A Piece Of The Island Right Here To Maryland Just Minutes From DC . Parking Is Limited, But There Are A Few Spaces Directly In Front Of The Restaurant. The Space Is Small & Intimate, But Very Welcoming. It's Only Been About A Year Since They Opened, But It Feels Like A Place That's Been Around Much Longer Because Of The Love And Energy Inside. The Customer Service Here Is Top Tier!! It's Owned By A Husband & Wife "The Medinas" They Are Truly Special. So Warm, So Kind, & So Genuine. They Make You Feel Like You're Being Welcomed Into Their Home For A Meal. The Service Is Full Of Love & Care, You Can Feel Their Passion In Everything They Do. That Alone Would Bring Me Back... And Then The Food Just Seals The Deal Even More. WHITE RICE , RED BEANS , AVOCADO & GRILLED SALMON {Build Your Own Meal} EVERYTHING About This Plate Was Perfect!!!!! The Rice Was Cooked Just Right With The Perfect Amount Of Salt. The Red Beans Were Rich, Flavorful, & Surprisingly Had No Meat, Which I Loved. *So Many Places Add Pork, But Here They Automatically Cater To Different Dietary Preferences Without Sacrificing Flavor.* The Grilled Salmon Was Cooked Exactly How I Requested, Honestly Even Better Than I Expected. The Attention To Detail Was Impressive. And Of Course, The Avocado Brought Everything Together For That Perfect Final Touch, I Left So Full & Satisfied. EXTRA SIDES: TOSTONES WITH GARLIC Double-Fried, Flattened Plantains Lightly Salted And Topped With Garlic Oil (I Requested This And They Delivered). So Good & Perfect With The Rice & Beans. FRIED PLANTAINS Made Exactly How I Like Them, Sweet, Perfectly Fried, & Not Overly Sweet. CHEESE EMPANADA OMG The Cheese Pull Was Insane. Crispy Outside, Loaded With Cheese Inside, They Did Not Skimp At All, So Delicious. MALTA I Had To Get A Malta, A Traditional Dominican Drink That Paired Perfectly With My Meal. Sweet, Rich, & So Satisfying. I Had To Try As Much I Could To See What I Would Like & Everything Was Amazing. I Was Overwhelmed Yet Beyond Satisfied. Literally Everything They Make Is Delicious. Super Reasonable Prices With Plenty Of Options. Some Food Is Ready Buffet-Style While Other Items Are Made To Order. You Can Dine In Or Take Out But I Highly Recommend Sitting Down & Enjoying The Full Experience If There's Available Seats. This Place Is Something Special. Authentic Dominican Flavors, Amazing Hospitality, & Food Made With Real Love. I'm Definitely Going To Be A Regular Here As Much As I Can. I Truly Hope They Get The Recognition They Deserve Because This Place Is Truly A GEM .
