    Truly a neighborhood gem. Visited here many times and never disappointed. Great prices and consistently great prices. I usually get the chicken chunks (boneless) but I had the chicken mofongo instead, my friend ordered the cheese monfongo. My mofongo was great, wasn’t expecting to have two nicely fried pieces of chicken as a garnish, I also like that the mofongo portion wasn’t huge and comes with a side of salad (great for such a carb-heavy dish). Great flavors, but would’ve loved to taste a bit more garlic. The consumé that comes with the mofongo adds all the flavor you need. Service was okay, atmosphere is nice and it’s great that they accept card and cash.

    since1985. 홈메이드 느낌이 강하고 푸짐한 편. sancocho(고기야채 스튜)는 따뜻한 국물에 감칠맛 좋은 맛. 간간히 씹히는 옥수수가 은은하게 달달하다. 토마토와 허브, 마늘 향이 부드럽게 퍼지고, 감자와 당근이 푹 익어 단맛과 포근한 식감을 더한다. 닭고기 스튜는 비주얼은 닭볶음탕 같으나, 토마토, 고추, 후추 향이 짙다. 국물은 맑은 편이지만, 재료가 우러나 깊고 진한 맛이 난다. 밥과 함께 먹으면 짭조름하면서도 따뜻한 가정식 느낌. 도미니카식 바나나튀김(tostones)은 익지 않은 바나나 튀김으로 단맛이 거의 없고, 오히려 짭조름하고 전분감 있는 맛이 특징. 맛있게 잘 먹고 갑니다.

    I saw this restaurant on Instagram and it was raving about the sandwiches, especially Dominican sandwich with cheese and sweet plantains. That sandwich was so dry and so tasteless and I came from the Bronx just to try that sandwich and it was horrible. My husband ordered the steak with the white rice and beans. The beans will watery. The rice was old and the steak was horrible. I will never in my life. Go back there again

    The meals here stand out even among the city's best restaurants. The cooking technique is impressive. Get a selection of plates to try together. The team displays natural warmth. I'm returning to try different items.
