The culinary adventure at this Dominican gem was nothing short of spectacular. The mofongo with beef skirt was rich in flavor and perfectly cooked, while the pork belly with Asian sauce was a delightful fusion of tastes that danced on the palate. The oxtail was succulent and well-seasoned, and the Dominican fusion sushi added a unique and creative twist to a traditional favorite. Service was attentive and friendly, making the overall experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Food was incredible and equally as important, the owner was welcoming and prompt with food order. I came from the Bronx for my son’s third birthday and let’s just say, he left with a content belly. Will be adding this restaurant on my list of highly flavorful foods and experiences. I encourage you all to see for yourself!

I’m far from an expert in Dominican cuisine, but I can say I love the food here. The owner has a passion for food that shows. The sancocho is extremely hearty; the chicharron mofongo is decadent; the maduros are surprisingly sweet and tangy all the same; the empanadas have great seasoning. The owner is a friendly guy who loves to talk about food and really seems to enjoy sharing his creations. He enthusiastically offered to customize dishes based on dietary restrictions.

This food is AMAZING! Seasoned to the bone! Everything taste fantastic!! All other spanish restaurants need to take a page or two out this restaurant book. None of them even come close when it comes to service and tasting of food. Great customer service and very clean. I am so happy we chose this restaurant. & they deliver on uber eats!
