Food is auwsome, food should be hot at lunchtime and is usually lukewarm or cold and I have to reheat other than that. Great food, just needs to be Hot, especially at lunchtime.

Tres golpes is always great here! One of the better mangu that I’ve had. The chinola:passionfruit drink is perfectly sweet and sour.

We order food for my sons first birthday party and all I can sayis, GREAT FOOD!! All my guest enjoy the food and keep telling me the food was great. They had my food ready for pickup and we were happy with everything. The price was right with all the food we got. The language there is primarily Spanish( we are pjerto rican and dominican) so not a problem. But they do speak English. I would order again and told everyone I know. You'll enjoy the food!

It alright I come once a week to see improvements the price and food has changed they are now getting better love the vibe in the place good customer service. Some improvements will be having more staff to help those who are there today it took about 7 min so I can pay my check. I love there food and keep the good work. I always get a lunch portion to go. The food is good and they give you plenty of food for a reasonable price. I deducted a star because the waitresses sometimes seem like they don't wanna be bothered and/or moody.

Most authentic Dominican food in the tri-state area. It’s always fresh and tasty.. it’s Clean and it has a great atmosphere.. the variety is huge with lots of delicious food to choose from... customer service is good, they also bring the food to your table when most similar restaurants don’t... on top of that the waitresses are very friendly. The prices are beyond reasonable, they still have lunch plates for 5 dollars!!! The delivery service is FREE OF CHARGE and it’s done pretty fast and easy... the waitresses speak both language English and Spanish to that’s a major plus.
