Killing it in the Dominican/Puerto Rican food game…read more My wife and I came here at the end of our vacation in upstate NY (this was actually the only time we went out to eat), and were really happy with the choice. Agreed that the area is sketch, but it's worth it. I would say that you have to get the roast pork. Fantastic, I have no idea how they make it, but they're doing it right. You know about your carnitas at the most recent Mexican place you've been to? Yeah this is like double better. The prices are unbeatable too. You just get a "small" "med" or "large" dish pretty much, and they fill it with whatever. We got two "medium," one we got with rice and oxtail, the other one we filled with straight meats - the pork, also steak and onion. The steak and onion wasn't as good as the pork but still solid, and they LOADED this plate up with meat. We had two meals for the price of 0.7 meals.

I don't care what anyone says--New Jersey and New York have the best Spanish food! I had to drive…read more39 minutes just to get some, and this is literally the only Spanish restaurant nearby. And just to be clear, when I say Spanish food, I'm not talking about Mexican food. The pernil was decent. I liked that the meat was tender and had good flavor, but I felt like it could have used a little more seasoning overall. The skin wasn't as crispy as I would have liked, and unfortunately, it kept getting stuck in my teeth. The arroz con gandules was alright--nothing that really stood out. The chicken stew, however, was great! The meat was so tender that it practically fell right off the bone.

There was a little bit of a communication problem when we arrived. The young man at the counter did…read morenot speak English. He did smile a lot though! I thought to make it easier, we would just point to what looked good and he could charge us whatever but after a minute or two, he went to the back kitchen and an older gentleman came out who did speak English. He told us that we had a choice of three rice and a meat selection. So I went with oxtail and he went steak. We both got the yellow rice. You also get a choice of beans on top of the rice. I opted for no beans. I thought the portion size was good (lots of rice). Oxtail was fine but not fall-off-the-bone good. I would have liked more sauce. The steak was also fine and had a distinctive spice which we could not figure out. We ate outside on the picnic table. There is not much seating inside. After finishing our meal, I went to use the restroom. The toilet was not nailed down so when you sit, there is a loud sound as it hits the floor. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels. I guess I could have asked but then I would have to encounter the language issue again. Luckily I had extra napkins in my purse!

Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty.

The inside of the restaurant is decently sized, clean, and even has a space where you can host a DJ, which is a nice touch. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a big issue. I waited about 5-10 minutes for my to-go order since the hostess/server was the only one working outside of the kitchen staff. I ordered the MOFONGO MIXTO (Mixed Mofongo), which is crispy green plantains mashed with garlic and olive oil, paired with chicharrón, chicken, or cheese. It was solid--rich, tasty, and especially delicious with the salsa blanco, which was creamy and garlicky. That sauce was a first for me, and I loved it! While I've had mofongo that included rice and beans elsewhere, this version stood on its own nicely. A couple of notes: parking is a bit challenging, and I'd recommend placing your order through an app to help navigate any potential language barriers. Overall, a good experience, and I'd definitely give it another shot!

It is a family run establishment and having just opened, the place is super clean and super modern. There is a good amount of seating, so they can accommodate a large group easily. They are open late and on certain days, they have a DJ and the place turns into a club. The food was extremely fresh and is home cooked style. The chivo guisado was extremely juicy and the meat was so tender - falling off the bone. The pico pollo was great too and very well seasoned. Portions sizes were generous with very reasonable prices too. The staff are very friendly too. It's a nice place to come and enjoy some authentic Dominican food with some bottles of Presidente or cocktails. I recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.
