The food is not as good as it Used to be. Worst of all they have water bug Issues. Which we experienced

The fact that it was cash only is one thing which I understand but it was kind of small a little cramped and table service was below mediocre,

The stuffed lobster is amazing and full of flavor. ...the place is nice could use some background music

Ordered 3 platters that were supposed to come with eggs, a protien, home fries, toast and ordered 2 large coffees.The toast wasen't toasted, it was sliced Italian bread with cold butter. All 3 platters came without any home fries, the sausage wasent fully cooked and both coffees came half empty and the rest was soaking on the bottom of the delivery bag. If I could give 0 stars I would. There breakfast is just a poor excuse for breakfast.

If I would give this place 0 stars o DEFINITELY WOULD .I do not RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.First of all Food is over price and have no tasteThe problem is not the money the problem was the QUALITY. PERNIL, CHICKEN HAD NO FLAVOR & WAS DRY AND THE BEANS WAS RE-heated and have a sour taste. The front SADLY I WOULD NO RECOMMEND.

Had the mofongo con pernil, it was delicious. The service was good and the place looked clean.

The food is amazing and the ladies at the restaurant are super sweet. I’m rating them 4 stars because they are a CASH only restaurant and they charge more if you dine in but cheaper if you do any of the delivery services. Found that weird normally its the opposite way. Either way food is amazing just take out.

I’m Dominican and the food is not what I would call real Dominican flavored food. I ordered rice and it was mushy to the point that it looked like lumps of starch. The meat tasted boiled and flavorless. The beans were ok. I also ordered a sancocho and it was watery, flavorless, and oily.I wanted to support this place so bad and I really dwelled over writing this review but I think it is perhaps the worst representation of Dominican food I’ve ever had.They need a new chef or maybe I just caught them on a bad day.

Red snapper grilled with tostones and a small salad. The red snapper with stuff with peppers.
